Writing about you on your next birthday would have been my wish Dr Mrs Yemisi Sanni Nee Aletan but not about your death now.
What a devastating blow to all of us that you have gone so soon. It is still unbelievable that you are dead and buried. Just like that?.
Speaking with you on phone about 2 months ago is like sitting with you chatting as usual. All the times shared together at lkoyi quarters lle-lfe with your husband and my wife Omolewa - your cousin can ever be forgotten. How quickly can one forget your unique jokes, your care for our children anytime we were not at home even without telling you to do so. Your caring nature to everyone around you can never be compared to anyone's. Your smiles and tender heartedness are soothing power to anyone in depression and trouble.
Well God giveth and taketh to His kingdom is our consolation. "Olorun da wa lejo a n appeal cour wo lo maa da"?.
May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bosdom of your Creator and may He comfort the entire families of Sanni and Aletan, the children and your loving husband Prof. Lekan in particular. Rest in peace my in- law that was more than a blood sister.

TRIBUTE IN HONOUR OF DR (MRS) OLUWAYEMISI SANNI
Dr (Mrs) Oluyemisi Sanni, adieu! Somebody said and I quote, "the best way to live in the hearts of those that love one is to die". Indeed, you were a virtuous woman. Many times you denied yourself of basic necessities and comfort in a bid to making sure that your husband was given quality care and comfort. I learnt humility, forthrightness and cheerfulness from you during the little interaction that I had with you. Your bluntness and steadiness in approaching issues were wholesome. You were indeed an achiever and a rare gem. You came to this wretched world with optimism, you fought a good fight of faith and you conquered death in victory because you have seen Jesus Christ before death. Your remembrance lives forever in the hearts of us all. Sleep on beloved Dr (Mrs) Oluyemisi Sanni, till we meet on the resurrection morning, in the bosom of our Lord God, where we shall part no more. We commiserate with husband, children, extended family of Sanni, neighbours, friends and the church of the living God on the demise of our beloved Dr (Mrs) Oluyemisi Sanni. It is our prayer that God will comfort them all. Good night!!! Femi BALOGUN and wife.

The death of my bossom friend"Mouthful surprise" ....".Ogba Enutan".
The life and time of my confidant Dr. Yemisi Bamidele Sanni was full of joy now a past time...
Ore mi, even at the point of death you were throwing banters at friends and siblings passing messages to whom that cares.
Caring and sharing was never your problem.
Your footprints and impacts can never be forgotten.
Your mission here was to make people happy.
So, you were preparing heavenly happiness for yourself at the hereafter.
You deliberately built people round your husband and children to fill the vacuum after your demise.
The Lord shall fill the vacuum.
"I will not only love you forever but forever will I cherish you"
I pray that almighty God comfort and console the entire family and folks
Adieu Ore mi, a se oore bi eni goo.

Though we met on just two occasions during your lifetime, they were sufficient to tell me all I needed to know about you.
You exuded warmth, humility and care. These are important attributes of a Christian life and I believe your Maker is rejoicing over you now.
I pray that the Lord will keep your widower and children in His love till we all meet on the Resurrection morning.

Until then, sleep on beloved.

Our paths crossed in 1976 when as young children we both gained admission into Our Lady's Girls High school, ile-ife. On graduation in 1982, we separated and went our different ways until God brought us together through the Old students association of our alma matter.
You were a bridge builder, a very kind soul. With you there was no full moment.
With your loving husband, you encouraged, spurred me on to be the best in my career. Writing a tribute on you is something I never envisaged at such a time like this. I'm consoled knowing that you have gone to rest. May God console your darling husband, lovely children and the OLOGAFE of which you were a very active member. Sleep well my friend. Saying goodbye is hard.

Yemisi,is my friend ( I wont use was for yemisi)She is my closest and longest friend. We met at college of education in ilesa in1984. Since that 84 we have remain friends till her passing on
Yemisi has a large heart that accommodates all and sundry. She is a giver not only money or material things alone ,she gives her time, and emotions . I remember during the burial of my father inlaw,she followed me to ilesa,when my inlaws were harassing me for coming late,she stood up for me and call herself a lawyer, she told them that she has come to assess the situation so that final judgement will be taken. My in laws were almost worshipping us till we left them.Never a dull moment with her. How many rescue missions will I mention by Yemisi on my case?.
To say I am devastated by her death is an understatement. I am in pains, I am in anguish by Yemisi"s demise. I never believe she died until I saw the casket being lowered. I thought it was one of her pranks ,still expecting her to wake up and call me all the alias she had for me.
Well ,who am I to query God for taken my friend turned sister to me.Yemisi sleep on,your memory lives on! My friend during the bad and good times, you will missed.May the Lord console Baba Sanni and uphold the children.
We made many plans not knowing that all our plans were "lori iro"

You will forever be missed ma. I remember growing up how you always treated myself and my brothers like your own sons. You were so nice to me. My days in Ibadan for NYSC was more memorable even as I look back at how yourself and your family accommodated me and took care of me. I pray that Daddy, Dayo and Fikayo are comforted knowing that you are resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ despite how soon you left. Adieu

Aunt Oluwayemisi. Unfortunately, death suddenly snatched you away from us on March15th, 2021. Everything still feels like a nightmare to me and I vividly remember when I lived with you at Ikoyi quarters right after your wedding the one I was part of the flower girls(omo iyawo). Your marriage to my Uncle seemed so perfect and you both made marriage look so effortless. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow, nor even today for that matter. Every day is a gift. Every day is grace. It always seems like we have all the time in the world, only to realize how fleeting it really is. I wish we had more time to do and say the things we saved for later which along with you is gone forever mummy Ifedayo, rest in perfect peace ma.

Dr Mrs Oluwayemisi Sanni was a good friend of my wife and a doting lover to her dutiful husband. I cannot forget in a hurry the brief encounters we had: at my inaugural lecture and at your husband's. You and your husband were with me in church, helping to sort me out. You were an amazing woman, jovial and truly caring. Only God understands why He took you now, but we submit to Him Whose we all are. The righteous are taken before the evil day. May God comfort your husband and children. Rest in peace till the resurrection morning Ma.

Biography of Dr Oluyemisi Bamidele Sanni (Nee Aletan)
By Ifedayo Sanni

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 realise that an icon had entered the Aletan family. The father Pa J.O. Aletan was so excited by the birth of the fourth daughter that he bought a big clock to commemorate the day.

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-Agbora, 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 Oyo State College of Education Ilesha where she obtained her NCE in 1986. Between 1989 and 1992, she pursued her M.T.D. Program at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife where she laid the record of being the first and the only graduant in the First Class(Honors) in Language and Communications Arts Education. She obtained her higher degrees, M.E.D and Doctors 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 having a first class Honors degree from OAU. She did not allow her inability to secure 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 has risen to the position of Senior Lecture 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 - Ifedayo and Oluwafikayomi - she was a doting mother and wife always ready to sacrifice everything for her family, her relatives, friends, neighbours and colleagues. 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

Tribute

 
May the good seeds you have sown in the lives of countless others speak better for you before the throne of His grace
 
It easier for every Christian to recite the sweet-bitter Ecclesiastes 3 verses 1-8 but harder to experience the weeping and mourning parts which have become our lot at this difficult time. No one could have believed that the bell will toll for you at a mid-age of 56 even if it were foretold by the legendary Nostradamus. You were inimitable and full of boundless energy. I had sent you a video three days before your death of a 101 year old man having a date with a lady of about 90 years as an inward prayer of what I believed would be the portion of every family member in our old age. Little did I know that you were already at the boarding gate set to jet out of this sinful world. O kuku ye Olorun. Indeed, God knows best. Who are we to question His supremacy and pre-eminence in the affairs of mere mortals? The Lord giveth and taketh. Blessed be His Holy name.
 
I first knew you as Yemisi, the fiancée of my senior brother, Boda Lekan. We instantly connected and became friends. I used to call regularly at your room in Moremi Hall, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, and this was such that a few were confused about the nature of our relationship. Your hospitality dates back to those times because you would insist that I must take something sha ni no matter how small. Sumptuous food was always served in your home within few minutes of my arrival till my very last visit. We always joked that boda would have been as rich as Dangote but for the fact that you  spend all his money on good healthy meals.  
 
As soon as you were wedded to Boda Lekan, I recall your protestation when I first called you Aunty Yemisi. You genuinely feared that such an avoidable formality will slacken our bond. But alas, by observing that age long sensible culture we even became closer. We talked and joked freely and happily sometimes with tears of joy rolling down our cheeks. But now it is time to weep and mourn your untimely death. Oh death where is thy sting?
 
Thank you for the wonderful support you gave Boda. Thanks for being such a strong pillar. Your drive, love, affection and sense of organisation are extraordinary and one in a million. Thank God for the gift of two well-trained omoluwabi in the persons of Prince Ifedayo and Prince Fikayo from the throne of His grace through your blessed womb. Thank you for gifting the wonderful Aletan family to us through your union with Boda. Thanks for making this world a better place not only for us but for countless people who crossed your path.
 
I sincerely do not expect to ever be able to do justice to your memory in my present devastating and inconsolable state of grief but I hope that this tribute will suffice at this time. May the good seeds you have sown in the lives of countless others speak better for you before the throne of His grace as you reconcile with your Creator. Adieu till we meet to part no more.

TRIBUTE TO DR OLUWAYEMISI SANNI
This is very hard for me to do but I guess God has a reason for this!. On Monday the15th of March 2021God called you home,
Extended His arms and opened Heaven's Door.This still feels so unreal!.

You were stronger than the winds,
deeper than the seas yet you left us so quickly and unexpectedly. 

You were an inspiring and a very wonderful person. No dull moments with Mummy Dayo. Always full of life and a giver per excellence., lover of Christ and her family both immediate and all. So many wonderful moments but too pained to even write. 

Consoled because it is sure "You are Heaven's gain".

Mummy Dayo you will be sorely missed. No goodbyes but good journey.

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 
Life is a journey and this world is not the destination, so journey with a purpose. The journey is filled with

Ups & down
