Needless to say that God chose you ahead so you can have an angelic celebration with the hosts of heaven and other souls.
We miss you here but rest, assured that you are better off there.
Your legacy lives on, in your works and in the success of your children.

Even though you are not physically here, who you are lives on. It’s nice to read your friend’s memories of you and what you meant to us. I haven’t forgotten your voice, your giggles, and the way you intuitively cared and reached out.

Hello Nike,
It's been four years since you left us. It feels both like forever and yet only a moment ago.
What's heaven like? I'm confident that you're there for if not you, who..
I remember our trips to play groups in St John's Woods with a young Simi and Demi; always the only black women in the groups. We formed a bond and I remember wondering if we would drift apart after the children started school but we didn't.
You were always so concerned about my health, advising me to take care of myself yet all the time you were carrying this burden. How amazing is that?! I was so cross at first when I found out because you had let me whine, comforted me in all my petty dramas while just placing your worries at his feet. You truly are a woman of faith.
I will never forget you. Those little babies that we ran after are now grown and in university. Time flies. For us all, the journey on this side is a mere whisper compared to what awaits us.
Soon enough we will meet my friend.

Nike is one of those people who stays with you forever. If you have been lucky enough to meet her, her inspiring behaviour, wisdom and the beautiful laugh remain. Today I remember especially the chats and laughs we had sitting on a sofa in her house in Lagos... such a precious moment which I still treasure.
Love you Nike

Omonike,
It still hurts..... The thought of not being able to reach out and just hear your voice. You were so full of wisdom.
I chatted with Demi recently; he is all grown and surely reflecting you in very good light. I visit your mum; she is so full of life and her plants are still vibrant. She tells me of how beautiful Dayo’s little girls are. I am sure you would have adored them.
I know Yomi, Tiwa and Dunni are doing great also. Continue to rest in perfect peace.
Much love.....

I come here often just to read the tributes that make me wonder over and over again why it's the rare ones that go first.
I bought a bottle of the YSL perfume we both shared in Lasu( and thought we were the bees knees ! ). I remember how we still had the bottle on the dresser, months after the contents were emptied.
Every time I think of you, I just spray a bit and I am immediately transported to the beautiful time we shared a flat.
Keep resting in the lord , dearest.

Despite the passing of time, I often find myself thinking of Nike. The memory of her just comes to my mind in the most different situations.
I believe that all who met Nike got somehow changed by her.
She was a balanced mix of kindness, innate elegance, warmth, intelligence, heart... not to mention her beauty.
I was lucky enough to spend time with her in London and Nigeria and share precious moments with her and her family... I often find myself thinking of them too and would like to see them again one day. I hug you all tight. Monia

Can you not see the shimmering aura around her? That IS (not was) the quality and carat of her being. May that shine light the way for your three children.
