'Wolu ma se e le se o'

You not only delivered for the businesses you worked for, but you took an active interest in the people you worked with in those businesses. As you climbed the ladder on your way to the top you did not neglect to reach down and pull others up. You simplified leadership and honored all men regardless of their station in life .

You will be missed. You will be GREATLY missed.

God grant you eternal rest and comfort your loved ones.

Go well Oga Mi Sir.

How is it that we're writing RIP for Wole Rawa? How??!! Death is the darkest, cruelest thing! Where is your sting, you coward??!!!???!!

Oga, as I always called you, this is so painful, it's almost unbearable! You were a good person. Words aren't enough to describe your beautiful good heart. Your memory is blessed!

I can't really process your death completely. Every time I remember our times together, tears keep welling up. I remember when you and Yombie rushed to my hospital bed 10 years ago and everything you did for me afterward. God, please give Wole Rawa a special place in your bosom, you know he deserves it, he was a truly good person.

Too much to say and not enough space. Rest in peace Oga Wole, I love and miss you ❤️

Oluwole Olanrenwaju.. so hard to say goodnight. But we submit totally to the infinite will of the Almighty who chose to call you home so soon.
You came, u saw , u conquered ! No mountain was too high, you smashed every single goal you set n surpassed them.  I sometimes even until last Sunday told u to slow down as you had done so well for yourself but u tell me i got this .Goal getter, humane , hardworking, kind, you loved ur sisters and olayinka with every fibre of ur being. I pray God gives all u hold dear the fortitude n grace to bear this great loss.
Rest on Oluwole , i thank God for the gift of you..

Oluwole Rawa, why now? You left us too soon! But who are we to question our Maker; the giver & the taker of life.

Though, your sojourn was short, but impactful each step all the way. Right from our days in Christ's School, we were able to spot your potential. From our JSS1 through to SSS 3 you were chosen by your colleagues to be their class captain. You were indeed a natural born leader.

You were humble, generous and peace loving. Your memories will forever be a blessing.

Rest in peace my dear good friend in the bossom of our Lord.

I will surely miss you!

A great guy is gone
Wole was ever jovial
Wole was both an encourager and an encouragement
Wole did the good he knew could
Wole will be missed

Wole lived a short life but his impact will last forever! He was a gentleman and a pace setter. He knew how to encourage you to fulfil your true potential! May God grant your Soul eternal rest Wole Rawa. Amen!

I met Wole exactly 20 years ago. We started our careers in the same 2 organisations. Wole was always full of life, jovial, amiable, colourful and ambitious! Wole was one to look up to and he certainly inspired hope. Looking back, he was certainly a leader in many respects. I can’t believe you are gone Wole but I wish you eternal bliss and rest. Pray the Almighty comforts and strengthens all your loved ones.

Hmmmm Life!

Boss with ever positive attitude.

Full of life and now gone to your maker.

Rest in Peace

Wole, you are the elder brother I never had. Your heart is large, your intents were pure! You had a zest for life. You looked after us. You watched after me carefully! You shielded me! You supported my dreams! I cherish our conversations and your devotion. You're that one person I'd come to when I need good-faith guidance.

In the midst of the terrible heart ache, I'll summon the courage to celebrate your life as I know that's how you'd love to be honored.

Indeed, you lived, you loved, you left a legacy!

May God comfort your wife and daughter, and May God affectionately care for your loved ones!

Baba,
Still crying as I write this. We still chatted on WhatsApp and spoke on the 16th Feb., I miss those words of comfort, perseverance, and the way you made everything right by telling me there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Sun re oo, Eniyan Iyi. Heaven just received another Handsome Angel. The handsome is not in looks but in attitude and the sincere heart you possessed. I miss you but God knows best.

Wole,
I still can't believe you are gone, we both met in Oceanic Bank 20years ago, and it was a day I would never forget . The Almighty God will be with your daughter and all the people you left behind.
Rest on.

Still like a dream to me and I don't feel like coming out of it.
You approved the document I called for and asked us to prepare for a meeting with you, one hour after that, I got one of the shocking news of my life. Lord Rawa as fondly called is Gone.

Hmmm... 22-02-2021..You are the reason why I said to myself, Marketing is life and reality to me because you made it so. You said Femi, you are like me in my early days, so I am sure you will make it here.

You were a mentor, Father, Adviser, teacher, Boss and a shoulder to rest on anytime anyway.

You will never be out of my story because you and your legacy will always be in my heart. May the Lord comfort and keep Oyin, the rest of the family and your Y'ello Family.

Odi gbere, Odigba till we see to part no more

' Baba o, Lord Rawa Omo Jesus.

Boss of life. I look at your picture and sweet memories of you just keep flooding in. I cant come to terms with the fact that you are gone. Your story/life should be a course that should be studied with the course title 'Exemplary leadership' 
Heaven gained an angel.
We miss you oooooo Eyan Iyi..... this is still a dream
Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord.
Your legacy lives on Boss

Wow! It's a major shock to the system to hear of your unfortunate demise at such a young age when the world was laid perfectly in front of you to take over. I hadn't seen you since 1996 I believe, but still spoke with you out of the blues one day some years ago, when I had an issue with your driver. I was happy to hear about your progress. Was especially proud that someone I knew then at the University had made great progress career wise. Your passage is shocking to say the least. I pray that your gentle soul will find rest. Peace

Wole Rawa,
An amiable and ebullient gentleman.
I am in shock !!!!
May the good Lord console your family.
Rest In Peace

Sleep on Oluwole Rawa... You were a force to reckon with and you made impact in lives. Thank you for being examplary in all you do. Rest on Lord Rawa

I was shocked when I heard of your demise . May your soul rest in peace. May the Lord grant family and friends fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. Gone too soon !

A true leader, with an attitude of winning.
Wole was always optimistic, energetic and down-to-earth. Rest in peace...good man.
Enyan iyi like you always say...sun re ooooo

Lord Rawa as you were fondly called by all in Etisalat.
You will take a bullet for your subordinates just to see them excel even in our personal lives. My career story is incomplete without you and will definitely make you proud. You will be greatly missed.
What a shocking LOSS

Rest in peace, my brother. Still can't believe this. All the way from Econet/9mobile till Etisalat. First colleagues, then friends and then brothers. You are missed deeply, always.
Rest In Peace brother

You were a good man... Rest in peace bro.

What can I say! All I remember are the smiles and acknowledgements as you walked through the office walkway. A jolly good fellow. May you rest in the bosom of the Almighty God and May the Almighty God grant your Family the fortitude to bear this great loss.

I am still struggling with the reality of your death. It is indeed sad.
nonetheless, I pray that you find eternal rest and that the Good Lord give your family and friends the fortitude to bear the loss.

Rest in peace☮️

This hurt me very badly. Wole was a friend and brother, who had a huge heart and was such a fantastic personality. Having him as a close person made a lot of difference to me, through the years.
Words can't express how I feel at this time. I can only say 'Godspeed bro'.

Wow. Words cannot describe the shock at the news of your demise. You were a humble and open hearted person. Knowing you right from Christs' School was indeed a divine encounter. May God grant your soul eternal rest. It is well.

May his soul rest in perfect peace with the Lord. You will be forever missed

This is so surreal to me, I still can't get my head around it.

Wole was such a force and left such a massive impact on everyone he touched no matter how briefly or how long he had known them for. I always admired how much of a "man of the people" he was, steadily investing in people no matter who they were. I was definitely a beneficiary of this in my time at Etisalat for no reason at all other than that he was just a great person.

My heart goes out to his family, friends and most importantly his beautiful little girl.

May God welcome you home with singing Wole.

God bless.

Am still in shock that you are gone. I remember all the beautiful memories we all had together while in University of Ilorin, I wonder why you had to leave us so soon. I take solace that you are in a better place.
Rest well. Sun re o.

....One loved by many and adored by the crowd. You walked on earth and left your mark. Gone too soon. May you find rest and eternal peace in the bosom of your creator. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. Adieu Wole Rawa.

Wole,
It’s unbelievable that you have left...
We would call you butty (Omo butter) when we were in Christ’s school. We would sometimes laugh at you not being able to pronounce R properly since your surname was Rawa. A leader from a young age. Also brilliant, competitive, street smart. A bit rascally. As we grew older maturity came in. The last we spoke was about helping others of our friends who were less privileged. You carried the trouble of others on yourself. Selfless. Giving.... Still remembered your smile. God had helped you to rise through the ranks quite early. What can I say... You will be missed. I pray God will comfort your family. Rest in peace. Good night!

What can I write about Wole without feeling a sense of loss? Wole was a great guy, always committed to the life and well being of his people. I pray God consoles his family and friends. Adieu...Lord Rawa of ginger

Wole was a rare breed ! He took me up when I knew nothing in marketing and was always there through every journey both career and personal life . Always pushing you to do more his legacies will continually remain with us . Thank you sir for all you have been to all of us shine bright LORD RAWA

Who am I to question God ? Wole was everything and more, he was always someone I loved to chat with in person or over the phone. My initial encounter with him was in university of ilorin permanent site.... then at econet and I always kept in touch with him. He is/was a great man, very optimistic, very much a gentleman. I am comforted that he is in better place. Rest In Peace my friend ! Eyan Iyi....

Words cannot express the way I feel. I recall meeting you in 2008 when we both joined Etisalat the same week. Full of life, fun loving and most importantly, a passionate leader that encourages, support and always proud of his Team. You turned countless boys to MEN Wole. You always show leadership in every sphere of life. Thanks for all you have done within this short period of time. A great lesson from you Wole. Life is all about the number of people you touch and influence and not what you have. Rest in peace Oluwole Rawa.

A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven. We part with our beloved friend, brother, confidant in pain. and may the good Lord give the family the fortitude to bear the great loss. Amen

Oluwole Rawa.....I called you Mr Rawa....you will respond with your beautiful smile with "wassup"A kind,artistic caring person who has touched so many lives in various capacities including myself.
His love to people around him has no boundaries, A friend like a brother, a good father to his daughter. ❤

A true brother, kind hearted, easy going full of ambition, determination and a goal getter .
A God's fearing man ,your departure has left a big hole in my heart brother, still finds it hard to believe you ve gone from this wicked world.....You will everly be missed and remembered. I miss you Oluwole Rawa...
Rest in peace brother...God knows best Mr Rawa....... Suń rè òóó

Wole!!! Your passing is so painful. I'm recalling all the times we shared together in Oceanic Bank. So sad it had to end this way. Really painful. Rest on, Great guy.

My able class captain. Quite sad you left us this early. You showed a high level of leadership during our days at Christ School. We won the neatest class many times in our junior year. Always willing to help. We shall surely miss you. Rest on dear friend.

Death is truly cruel!

Wole’s demise is a big blow to many of us. I had strong hope that I will one day work directly with him because even from another department he treated me like a blood brother and always encouraging me. The Brilliance, Humility, Friendship, Mentorship, Leadership, all round support for anyone that came across him are things we will miss. Am not sure I have met anyone that is all round like Wole Rawa.

May Almighty God accept you into the highest place in Heaven and Protect the family you left behind. Amen.

Oluwole Olanrewaju Rawa, my dearest friend and brother from another mother. You will surely be missed by all but our memories will be forever my darling friend and brother.
Sun re my friend, till we meet again at the feet of Jesus Christ

Rest in the bosom of the Lord. You imparted and impacted many lives .You raised leaders and role models. Your legacy will live on baba Rawa. Rest in peace.

I didn't work directly with him, but heard about his good deeds while working with Econet(now Airtel) . May your soul rest in peace. I pray that Holy Spirit shall console the immediate family too. Amen.

I still can't believe it. One minute I'm unmuting myself to give you update and the next I'm dropping a tribute for you.
Life is so Fickle!
Loosing you has made question the very essence of living.. Yes, we don't live forever but this one shock me! whew
I'm gradually getting to the point where I am holding to the lessons and examples you left behind. You were more than a leader, you were a guiding light with so much knowledge and an open mind
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow. 
Peace be with you.. You will remain alive in all of us.
Thank you Lord Rawa.

May your soul rest in peace.

Lord Rawa Oluwole

Mr Wole we will always remember you for good
Brilliant , humble , caring .

You always added value to any who encountered you. 

We will miss you dearly

Rest, you fought a good fight and left your mark

Rest In Peace my Dear Friend and Dear Colleague, I am still in shock since I got the sad news. May God bless your beautiful soul and grant your lovely family the patience and strength.
I got to know you back in 2008, this brings back the reel of memories for the beautiful times we worked together at Etisalat Nigeria , fighting the battles, racing time, screaming, laughing, and winning. You have been always a rising star full of energy and drive a true young leader with an attitude of winning and never giving up.
Today, Nigeria and the Telecom sector have lost one of its rising stars but your legacy will continue to speak for you.
Rest in Peace my friend.....

Oluwole Rawa, the news of your demise was a rude shock to me, you are indeed one of the brightest from our great school, CHRIST'S SCHOOL, your achievements were all great, you will be in our hearts and memories for ever, rest in peace born leader

The news of your demise came as a rude shock. This is a great loss to us, your mates and Christ's school as a whole.
Rest on our class captain.

wow.. can't process it all, but i can never forget the great memories. do i start with the funny way he say the Letter R, or having to move on the couch when ever all MEN comes to 16 Chief bereola street from Uni Ilorin, can't forget how him and Owoblow argues. We can't argue with GOD on how Life is Given or Taken but we can celebrate Life with Great Memories. Rawa was a Brother and Great Man. may your Soul Rest with The Lord

You were and will always be a source of inspiration to me. My your gentle soul rest in peace.
