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

Still fresh in our hearts: Dr. Oluwayemisi Bamidele sanni. 
While i know nothing can alleviate your loss, I do want you to know we are remembering you on this day.
Dr. Mrs. Oluyemisi Sanni was a wonderful and loving soul who we were blessed to have known. 
The life of the dead is placed in the hearts of the living. Although it has been one year since we lost her, despite time being a great healer , the grief and despair of losing her is still very fresh in our minds. 
The day you departed this sinful world without any parting word is forever a gloomy day in our memory. 
You left us all in shock in the School of ECPAE.
You are a woman with a large heart, an enigma of womanhood, an inspirator, a care giver, a comedian, a confidant, a honest friend, and a meek woman without pride.
You left a strong indelible mark that we have found difficult to fill up till this moment. You are (note that I do not say 'were' ) fondly called the DEAN. The DEAN with substance, the DEAN with strong passion for humanity,The  DEAN with strong sense of humour. You stood your ground on whatever you believe on. The DEAN, you need to know that no one has found it worthy to put on your shoes where you have dumped them. We are yet to see the person that fits into your position as a ceremonial DEAN (THE DEAN). All the staff and students of the School of ECPAE and the college miss you. Sleep on my friend, Olori Sanni and Mama Awon Boys. You will forever be remembered. May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest and bless the family you left behind. Amen.

To the entire Sanni family, I pray strength and succour for you. Friends and loved ones, we reminisce in the memories Princess Dr Yemisi Sanni left behind. I knew her as my colleague's wife, a woman of poise and elegance, a woman with that broad smile on her face always. I knew her from Methodist Church, Bodija as a woman who served the Lord. I'm glad I knew her. May her memory be seared in our hearts forever Amen.

This is spectacular Sir. I spent a considerable time reading your encounter with your late wife while trying to woo her with the support of your friend, Mr. Boye, your persistence and seeking the face of God. Your eventual marriage ceremony, starting a family, your relocation to Ibadan and the support your wife and yourself gave each other. This is a good read, plain and transparent which shows sincererity. Once again, well done Sir. God be with you and your family always. May your children continue to bring joy to you.

My path crossed yours through sheer providence. I happen to be one of your husband's PHD students. You took such uncommon interest in my academic success. While others do this at a cost, l count what you personally blessed my life with. When l lost my mother in law, you and your loving husband paid several visits, attended the Church Service but never waited to be entertained. I can't count how many times you entered kitchen to cook for me. You were so rare, so caring, so loving, so committed to the success and welfare of others. You were so Frank even to a fault. I called you Sister mi. The title appears very apt . You were indeed a very BIG SISTER. No dull moment with you. May God continue to be with your husband and children left behind. Your dear darling Brother  ADISA Biodun Olubunmi Akanni.

What a day a year ago, like yesterday the Princess was called home.               
As human, we were all troubled, asking ourselves how old she was that she should be called then. We were thinking of all her unfinished assignment over the boys and Prof; we were thinking of the link in the family when she and Prof would always make everyone laugh with their jokes and banters whenever we gathered for occassion; we were thinking of her selfless service to all.        Inspite of all these, God decided to take her home.
I personally will forever be grateful to her for what she did when our first daughter was born. I remember that night when it was time to leave my wife and new baby in the hospital to go home, she said that I would go home with her so that she could bring me back to the hospital early the next morning.
When we got to their house, she gave me a cutlass and said I should go and do what I need to do with what I was given in the hospital. Realising that I was ignorant of what I was expected to do, she instructed me to go and bury 'the package ' anywhere at the backyard         
Dr(Mrs), I wish you would be around on the day of glory of that little girl     
In total submission to God, we have to let you go. Although the going was too sudden, we take solace in the fact that the giver and owner of our life knows better  
Prof, Dr(Mrs) has dropped at her bus stop but I am sure she trust your judgement over the boys and all her other unfinished assignment. I assure you, God will always be there for you in Jesus name.           
Mr dear brother and fellow engineer, be rest assured that all will be well. You did your best as human to be with her in her last days but God knows better why she was still asked to come home .             
The baby and the computer guru of the family, take heart and be there for Prof and your big brother. All will be well with you all in Jesus name.                
I commend you all into the hand of the almighty, who will turn your sorrow to joy and henceforth, it shall be joy, laughter and celebration in your tabernacle.

Thank you so very much sir for this documentation
I was not all that close to her because I didn't really know her. The time we were paired to invigilate together at Molete during part time examination last year was my first encounter with her. Dr Sanni and I talked as if we had been friends for years, so free and friendly. It was that Friday that she told me she was not feeling fine which I asked her to take care if herself if possible stayed back for proper treatment. She could not finish with us that day before she was asked to go. We were not expecting her the following day but to show her efficiency despite her health challenge came to the centre on Saturday.
We were together in the same hall, she managed herself but she could not hold forth. I quickly asked her son to take her home and bid her farewell not knowing that would be the last time to see.
Dr Oluyemisi Sanni continue to rest well in the blossom of your Lord Jesus Christ. ADIEU

No controversy, you're in your CREATOR's HAVEN, we mortals feel the pains of your departure as it's irredeemable & irreplaceable.

However, our consolation that you lived an unrivalled life serving GOD & radiating kindness to humanity without geographical, ethnicity, religion delimitations.

A couple of times I saw you on the campus or paid scheduled visit to my OGA, Prof. Lekan Danni, it's a wonderful experience of humility you personified

What else can I say other than to pray that God Continues to uphold the families, associates, friends, relations & other survivors.

As you continue to enjoy your well deserved rest, good night ma.

Good morning dear Prof Sir.

I was mesmerised to see this amazing book first thing as I awoke from my night sleep and my wife, both of us having passed through your tutelage, called my attention to the post

With this hook, I am inspired to see such expression of love so enduring and so illuminated. You have indeed done Princess Dr. Mrs. Oluyemisi Bamidele Sanni enviable honour, your lovely sons a great pride of dignity and the families soccur and respite.

I am astonished of the painstaking efforts at putting the book together in a record time, and all the thoughts so well vented without ambiguity.

Sir, not that I have read the book in full, I was at first intimidated at the number of pages but could not help being captivated to flip, browse and making stop-over reads through the pages of the well inspired book from cover-to-cover.

I doff my hat for you Sir to see your literature-literary prowess separate from your erudite academic-literary prowess. Indeed Sir, you have done so well deserving honour so amazingly to your departed loving wife in life and in death.

Kindly accept our reach to you in thoughts, love, respect and solidarity from my wife and I

We remain until our pledged visit to you soon at Ibadan. That is a promise for keep Sir

Your Son and Daughter.

Mrs Oluyemisi, as a toddler,used to run around with speed reminiscent of a healthy child.Her parents,Mr and Mrs Aletan loved their children and catered for them as good parents.She was her father'S companion even when his father was playing Ayo Game with friends.That she was an intelligent and hardworking person was manifested in her childhood as she ran errands with diligence and accountability. So much more can be said about Oluyemisi. Her short but eventful life was a life of joy as her husband,Prof Sanni and children,made life worth living for her.She passed away into glory for hire service...still in the life of the LIVING but unknown to MAN.All thanks be to God for Mrs Oluyemisi Sanni's past life...Dr. S Oje Morakinyo

I started reading this book as I received it. Chapters 1 and 2 have read watered my appetite that I must finish it.

From the little I've read, it's observable that her memory is a treasure, documenting it in black and white is estimable.

My prayer is that may her soul continue to rest in peace, Almighty God will be with you and the family. Amen.

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
