Dearest,
We know that you are aware of the various steps we imortalise your evergreen memory. In addition to the endowments in your memory, Daddy is engaged in the spirited efforts to write and publish many Nunmer One BestSeller novels to raise the required capital to float an everlasting Foundation in your name. He has completed and published seven that are already available online, and he is very busy working on others. God uses your thoughts to strengthen and energise him for the daunting tasks of writing and publishing these books. The act also energises him and strengthens his body and soul.
You are aware of your sons doing well in their chosen path in life. We are all happy because we are sure of your being in your everlasting joy.

Remain blessed.

GRATITUDE TO ALL
Exactly two years today, my darling wife, Princess Dr. Mrs. Oluyemisi Bamidele SANNI transited to glory, and the family's centre of gravity was dislocated. Since her transition to glory, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. Much unexpected challenges had been experienced and overcome.
To God be the glory, the family is coping and moving on in life. On behalf of my family, I say a big THANK YOU to everybody that have been sustaining the family with prayers and other diverse ways. May God continue to bless and sustain you and your families. We are very grateful.
The family has put in some legacies to immortalise the memory of our dear one, some of which are:
1. A book titled MY MEMOIR ON MY DEAR WIFE...was published and has been anchored free of charge on the net since last year on her first anniversary.
2. A Forever Remembered platform was created online for her and has been sustained till date.
3 An honorarium was created in her honour for the best graduating M.Ed. student in Literacy in the Department of Adult Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. The first awardee of the prize collected the prize at the University of Ibadan's convocation ceremony last year, and the prize will be awarded as long as University of Ibadan exists.
4 Her final resting place she shared with my parents is usually kept neat and tidy in their everlasting memory.
5. In line with her consistent advise that I should keep alive my literary skills, two new books have been published in honour of her second year in glory. These are:
I. LIFE IN WIDOWHOOD: NAVIGATING GRIEF AND FINDING A PURPOSE TO LIVE AGAIN AFTER THE DEATH OF A PARTNER

A SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK
Widowhood, a stage in life when a man or a woman loses their spouse to death, is a difficult journey to navigate and can be overwhelming for those who have recently lost their partner. Life in widowhood is made more traumatic because it is a phenomenon that is hardly given adequate attention in marriage counseling and other counseling fora. Despite widowhood being the ideal end of every marriage when one of the partners dies and the other enters widowhood, life in widowhood is often hardly openly discussed. Hence, the majority of people enter widowhood without adequate information about the new phase of life their spouse’s death usually plunge them into, aggravating the trauma they experience.
Life in Widowhood was written to lighten the attendant burden of widowhood by providing open and frank discussions on salient issues in widowhood.
As a widower that nearly gave everything up because of the crushing experiences I have gone through in widowhood, and the near-total absence of relevant books to provide the required succor in my hours of dire need, I set out to produce Life in Widowhood to demystify widowhood and provide the required adequate information as palliatives for people in widowhood.
In preparing the book, wide consultations were made with a cross-section of people in widowhood to capture their diverse experiences and working strategies they had adopted, to enable the widowed person to be abreast of the fact that they are not alone in their present challenge, that others have successfully overcome similar challenges, and that, with the information provided in the Life in Widowhood, they could easily join the league of widowed persons that have overcome the challenges in widowhood.
Real-life experiences of the various individuals interviewed for the production of the book are provided in simple easy-to-read narrations and dialogues to stimulate easy reading and comprehension. Basic process and stages in widowhood - ‘journey into widowhood’, ‘immediate prompt actions’, ‘the burial service and the internment’, ‘contributory factors to life in widowhood’, ‘life in widowhood’, and ‘final word for the widowed’ - are discussed exhaustively in the book to provide the required insights.
Life in Widowhood is guaranteed to serve its anticipated goal of providing the required succor for people already in widowhood, and adequate information for people not yet in widowhood.
It is a must-read for every individual yearning for information on life in widowhood.

2. AN EXPENSIVE DREAM

A SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK
The ‘Campus Love Triangle’ involving Rufus Kokumo, Helen Oladele, and Ajibola Olayinka, generated campus-wide attention because of some peculiar events that accompanied their on-campus love relationships during their undergraduate days at the University of Ife, Ile-Ife. Twenty-eight years after graduating from the university, destiny placed the trio and their families in a tight dilemma with the potential of destroying all they had ever lived and worked for. Will they allow personal sentiments about their failed campus love affairs to becloud their reasoning?  The prize at stake is very enormous…

The two books are already available in AMAZONS on the net.

6. Her memory will be forever evergreen as long as the legacies we set up in her memory - the endowment; the books written and published in her memory; the legacies she left behind; and lots more - are in existence
7. She will also be forever remembered as long as the people she left behind, most especially myself, our children, and our seeds, are in existence.

Yemisi,
this is the night before the second anniversary of your transition to glory. The two years have been very hectic for myself and Ifedayo and Oluwafikayomi, our sons. 
You remember that you have always been the fulcrum on which the equilibrium of the family revolves. The family has never been the same since you left us, but we have all learnt to take solace in God, the Almighty Father. He has been taking absolute care of us.
In line with your persistent request that I do not give up my crave for literary works, I did publish a book in your memory last year, which was circulated free online.
I have moved a step further this year, as I have published two books:
1.  LIFE IN WIDOWHOOD - written mainly to demystify widowhood and remind readers of the fact that every marriage will ideally end when a partner dies and the other automatically becomes widowed.  Since people are hardly prepared for widowhood, the book was published to provide basic information on widowhood to provide succour for widowed individuals, and guide for people not yet widowed to serve as cushions against the stress and other challenges that always accompany widowhood.
2. THE EXPENSIVE DREAM - This is the story of a love triangle involving some undergraduate students of University of Ife, whose love relationship generated a lot of attention on the campus in their studentship days. Thirty years after graduating from the university, destiny placed the trio in a situation that could destroy everything they had laboured for all their years in life. Would they allow their failed relationship becloud their reasoning? The stake is rather too high...

The two books are already launched and anchored in the net in your memory.

The endowment established in your memory for the best graduating M.Ed. student in literacy in the department of Adult Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, is already on and already awarded at the last convocation of the university.
Your name will forever be remembered as long as the endowed prize meant to be for ever, is awarded in the university of Ibadan. You will, therefore be always remembered as long as the University of Ibadan exists.

You will forever be remembered whenever the various books written and published in your memory are in the net.

Above all, you will forever be remembered by me, Ifedayo, and Oluwafikayomi, and our seeds for ever and ever.

Remain blessed.
We love you forever.
Ever yours,
Olamilekan

I remember you tonight as always. I was at the resting place you share with my parents on Tuesday when we went to bury Kola Sanni, who tansited to glory on Saturday. 
We, most especially, your sons and I miss you very much. I have packaged a new book in your memory, titled LIFE IN WIDOWHOOD. I plan to anchor the book on the net in commemoration of your second year in Paradise.
We keep the flag flying, and we forever will.
Your love and memory is evergreen in our hearts.
Remain blessed.
Forever yours,
Lekan

I am at The Bells University of Technology, Ota, as an examiner of the students' dissertations. Incidentally I am lodged in the very room we shared the last time we were there together. Memory of your presence filled the whole room and the university at large. You were such an invaluable blessing to me as you were not only a wife but a very close, true and dear friend.
Occupying the room alone tonight makes me appreciate the great privilege God granted me by brnging you into my life to perform the great wonders you did for me. 
To God be all the glory, honour and adoration for everything.

Yemisi,
We were not able to post any publicaion on this platform on your birthday because we decided to devote the day to corresponding with you and others on the facebook and other media, knowing fully well that none of the messages is hidden from you in your present realm of existence.
We all miss you very much. 
Unlike in the previous year, our missing you this time around is laced with true happiness for you. We are fully convinced that it was God Himself that took you to be with Him at His appointed time .
We are convinced that there was no plan other than His that could have taken you to your new realm of existence, which we are convinced is far more glamorous and pleasant than any human can ever imagine.
As a breath of life from God, we are confident of your ever-living soul that has gone back to God from where it originated, is already rejoicing with Him for a life well spent.
We will never relent in our drive to keep your dreams alive. You will never be forgotten as long as our lineage exists.
Remain blessed.
We all love you, and forever will.
Olamilekan, Ifedayo & Oluwafikayomi

Yemisi,
your transition to glory in the past year has led to some significant changes and maturity in the prism through which I perceive people and events. While some previously neglected have proved their devotion and lifelong importance, many previously highly esteemed have proved to have outlived their usefulness.

Reading through the memoir was very soothing. It helped to relieve some of the pain that I have had in my heart since Yemisi went to be with the Lord. Thank you Prof. for helping us to have a more revealing picture of the beautiful and impactful life Yemisi lived. The moment I read the first page, I couldn't drop it until I read the last page. Very inspiring, and refreshing. My prayer is that God will continue to uphold and strengthen you and the children. Our earthly loss is heaven's gain.

The memory of the just is forever bless. Your exit a year ago was so unexpected but God called you to rest from this world of sin and uncertainty to a better place where there is no sorrow nor pain.
Our consolation is in the word of God, that the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died and their departure was accounted to be their hurt, and they journeying away from us to be their ruin; but they are in peace. Rest on ma till the resurrection morning. From Revd and Mrs Opeyemi Adeyemi. MCN BODIJA.

Wow, this is awesome. I read this with great excitement and gleaned a lot of lessons from your journey with Mummy Dayo. There is a lot to be noted right from the genesis of the journey till the end (as the Lord has desired it to be).

She lived a great life. She was ever kind. Though I was very little, I still remember visiting with my Dad to the house at More, around CAC church (I believe) while preparations for the wedding were underway. I recall being in the wedding train at Methodist church wearing black trouser, lemon/light green shirt (not completely sure now) and a bow tie.

Mummy was fond of me. I recall how she'd offer drinks and food when we came visiting first at the house at Ikoyi before moving to the one opposite Alhaji Olomola's House.

She will always be remembered. I recall my late father mentioned many times that he was instrumental to your meeting. But this book provided me more details. The conversation at opening of the book is VERY typical of my father (how I miss him), he would ask questions so bluntly, that one would wonder what his business is with people's affairs.

We thank God for the blessing Mummy Dayo was and would continue to be, even now that she has gone to be with The Lord.

I pray that her soul continue to Rest in Peace and that you, sir, be granted the fortitude to remain strong, in health, peace, and long life to witness Dayo & Fikayo do great things, and fulfill the glorious destinies God has assigned them.

It is well!

It's a year ago that you left us. Dr.O.B Sanni was a pioneer member of staff in the department of Adult and Non-Formal Education, FCE (Sp), Oyo, which took off in 2011/2012 session. With Princess Oluyemisi Bamidele SANNI, nee ALETAN Ph.D, it was never a dull moment. Fondly called “The Dean”, she was an embodiment of charming, great charisma, and amusing jokes. She was called the “The Dean” not because she occupied the office of the Dean but because of the personality of humor she displayed to the extent that the school Dean will call her “My Dean” . Dr. O. B Sanni had an informal name for almost everybody in the school e.g. Bayu mi, Ayemo, etc.
Beyond the personality of humor, she was always willing to assist people around her, both morally and financially. She would not stand somebody around her to suffer any lack. On many occasions, she would offer assistance to people without them openly asking for it. Again, Dr. O.B Sanni would encourage one to develop professionally, by advising colleagues on the need to have promotion requirements before the due date. She would even offer to assist in any way to enable people meet up with promotion requirements.
As a mother, Dr. O.B Sanni would never joke with her children. This may not concern us as a department but because we witnessed an incident when one of her son was to report at NYSC Camp in Edo state probably in 2019, we were holding a departmental meeting when she got a call that a vital document was left behind by the boy, she became uncomfortable that the HOD had to excuse her from the meeting to enable her get this sorted out. A mother truly she was! Rest on our dear colleague.

A Tribute to a lovely wife, mother and Sister!

Your price was far above rubies as you shed your love both in your home and in neighborhood.

You were a calm, lovely and an easy-going woman.
You and Daddy are known for your generosity and kindness, you extend help to whomever needs help without grudges. You were full of life and accommodating.
We wish you could stay longer with us. But then, God knows best!! We love you but God loves you more!!!

A CARING FRIEND.        
Indeed there is time for everything. 'A time to be born and a time to die”. Hunmmh....... It is exactly one year that ”Iya Dayo" (as fondly called by some of us) departed from this sinful world . Imagine how time flies. What can I say? I really don't know where to start because she is just an exceptional friend, and I have a lot to say about her. As far back as I can remember, right from 1997, when I met her, she has always being a loving and caring friend. Ever ready to make sacrifices, not minding if it meant inconveniencing herself. She stayed with me in uch operating Theatre, over night when I had surgery in 2001, my husband was at Gombe then. She genuinely cared more for others than herself. I love her for everything she did for me.
  She was simple and humble, but stood her grounds when necessary. She loved and served God with all her heart. Able to give all she had to her children, and anybody, whoever gave her a chance to relate with.
It is a fact that a great man has a great woman as a reliable support, this was proven by supporting her husband to become a foremost academician in Nigeria. She was one of my confidants and a great adviser.
  Death has not won! Never! And It cannot win. But has made Yemisi to rest in God, to take her reward from her creator.
My prayer is that, her children and her generation yet unborn will reap the fruits of her labour.
  Yemisi I loved you then, love you now, love you always and forever. May your gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace. From Alhaja Gbadebori Serifat.

From Mrs. Faranpojo. Kemi nee Adefioye

Yemisi was a dear friend of mine, she was one of the first friends I made in Our Lady’s Girls High School Ile-Ife, September 1976.
She was warm and jovial, she had a big heart - so generous and accommodating and her laughter would light up a room.
Even after we all separated in 1981, she was the glue that kept us together. She reunited me with some of my classmates in 2018 with video calls during my nephew’s wedding in Ibadan.
I lost a friend but God gained an Angel.
I hope you are resting peacefully in the Lord’s bosom and watching over us.
Till we meet to part no more

My dear Yensi, how time flies! It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 years since you left all your loved ones. Our consolation is that you are in a better place, with your Lord and Maker. You’re dearly missed! Continue to sleep good my very dear friend.

My Memoir on My Darling Wife Princess Dr. Mrs. OLUYEMISI BAMIDELE SANNI (Nee Aletan)

BIOGRAPHY OF PRINCESS DR. MRS. OLUWAYEMISI BAMIDELE SANNI (NEE ALETAN)

March 17, 2021
On the 6th of August 1965, when Mama Esther Idowu Aletan, wife of Pa Joseph Oladapo Aletan of Arapate Compound Imesi-Ile, gave birth to her fourth daughter, little did the people realize that an icon had entered the Aletan family. The father, Pa J.O. Aletan, was so excited by the birth of his fourth daughter in succession, that he bought an alarm clock to commemorate her birth.  The girl-child was Christened Oluyemisi Bamidele Aletan on the 8th day.

Little ‘Yemisi had her early education in many primary schools because of her father’s constant transfers. She later completed her primary education at AUD, Ogbon-Agbara, Ile-Ife. She attended the prestigious Our Lady’s High School Ile Ife between 1976 and 1981. Her craving for knowledge saw her proceeding to the then Oyo State College of Education Ilesa, now Osun State College of Education, Ilesa,  where she obtained her NCE in 1986. Between 1989 and 1992, she pursued her Bachelor's Degree in Education (B.Ed.) Program at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, where she laid the record of being the first and the only graduate in the First Class(Honors) Division in Language Arts Education. She obtained her higher degrees, M.Ed. and Doctor of Philosophy(Ph.D.) in Adult Education, from the University of Ibadan, The first and the Best University in Nigeria. 
A very Industrious and enterprising lady, despite her graduating in the First-Class Honours division from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, she did not allow her inability to secure a white-collar employment dampen her morale. She ventured into petty trading and lolly (hygienic lolly) production before she secured the position of a class teacher at Lagelu Grammar School, Ibadan in 1999. In 2011, she transferred her services to the Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo, as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Adult and Non-Formal Education. She had risen to the position of Senior Lecturer and had prepared her Curriculum vitae for the promotion to the position of Principal Lecturer before her sudden transition to glory.
A mother of two boys - Prince Ifedayo Sanni and Prince Oluwafikayomi Sanni - she was a doting mother and wife, always ready to sacrifice everything for her family, her relatives, friends, neighbours, and colleagues.  Until her transition to glory, she was a devoted doting wife to Prince Professor Lekan Sanni, her darling husband.  She was also a very active member of the Methodist family- Methodist Church Bodija Ibadan. She came, she fought gallantly, conquered and enjoyed a triumphant exit.
May God grant her eternal rest in His blossom. Amen

Life is a journey : Journey with a purpose

February 11
In the heart of a small, bustling town lived Margaret, a beacon of love and strength for her family and friends. Margaret was not just a wife; she was a partner in every sense of the word, supporting her husband, James, through every twist and turn life threw their way. As a mother, her love was boundless, her patience infinite, and her wisdom profound. She nurtured her children, Gabriel and Michael, teaching them the value of hard work, the importance of intelligence, and the virtue of diligence.

Margaret's days were a testament to her unwavering focus. Whether managing her career or tending to her family, she approached every task with a meticulous attention to detail and a heart full of love. Her transparency in every aspect of life earned her the trust and admiration of everyone she knew. She was a sister who shared laughter and tears, always there with a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on.

Then, one autumn evening, Margaret's bright light dimmed. Her sudden departure left a void in the hearts of her loved ones, a silence where once her laughter echoed. In the wake of her passing, her family gathered, surrounded by friends and extended family, all united in their grief but also in their admiration for the incredible woman they had lost.

James, heartbroken yet grateful for the years shared, found solace in Margaret's legacy. He spoke of her love that knew no bounds, her work ethic that inspired all, and her intelligence that had guided their family through the best and worst of times. He promised to keep her spirit alive, to continue loving as fiercely as she did, and to cherish the memories they had created together.

Gabriel and Michael, though young, understood the magnitude of their loss but also the depth of their mother's impact. Inspired by her diligence, they vowed to pursue their dreams with the same focus and determination their mother had exemplified. They promised to live lives that would make her proud, embodying her virtues in their actions and decisions.

The community, too, felt Margaret's absence deeply. They remembered her transparent honesty, her readiness to help, and her unwavering dedication to making the world a better place. Her influence reached far beyond her immediate circle, touching the lives of those she worked with, those she befriended, and even those she simply passed by on the street.

As the seasons changed, Margaret's family and friends found comfort in the lessons she had left behind. They gathered to share stories of her love, her laughter, and her legacy. Through their tears, they smiled, knowing that Margaret's spirit lived on in each of them. Her life, though too short, was a testament to the power of love, the importance of family, and the impact one person can have on the world around them.

Margaret's memory became a guiding light, a reminder to live each day with purpose, love without reservation, and strive tirelessly toward one's goals. Her family united in their love for her and for each other, moved forward, carrying her spirit within their hearts. And in their lives—full of love, hard work, and dedication—they honoured Margaret, a loving wife, a devoted mother, a caring sister, and a true friend, whose legacy would forever inspire and encourage everyone
