On a warm sunny day on June 22,1962, the ancient city of Ibadan in South-west Nigeria welcomed Osayame Taiye and her twin brother- Kehinde who predeceased her(1996) to parents Andrew and Marian Osemwegie JP.  

She had her secondary education (High School) at the prestigious all girls boarding school Idia College, Benin-City, Nigeria as a pioneer student and served as a proctor in her senior year where she acquired meaningful leadership skills.  Her Christian faith and love of the Lord evolved very early in life and was actively involved in the Hosana Fellowship at Saint Peters’ Anglican Church in Benin-Nigeria.

Her parents relentless drive for education spurred her to attend the then University of Ife, (GREAT IFE!) Nigeria where she graduated with honors with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Literary Studies. While there, her spiritual evolution grew in leaps and bounds and was a tireless and active member of the Evangelical Christian Union (E.C.U) where she held various offices. She left her footprints as an indefatigable member of the Pointer Press Club and roved from one college campus to another in her evangelical expedition. Her desire to work with children veered her to a brief teaching stint.

Her burning desire to become an attorney could not be quenched and returned to her birth place and obtained her Law degree (LL.B/J.D.) from University of Ibadan(FIRST BEFORE THE REST!) and subsequently her Law license in 1989 upon admission to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. 

She envisioned living in America and got married to Osagie Orobator who shared an analogous desire in Spring 1991 after which they both relocated to the United States of America and indeed have their own version of ‘Coming to America’.

Always pushing the bar, she obtained a Master’s degree in social work in 2002 from Yeshiva University in New York and worked as a Licensed Clinical Master Worker both with the New York City Administration for Childrens Services and the New York State Childrens’ Center where her trademark radiant smile and unflinching desire to support others were invaluable assets until the time of her transition to glory.

As the ever smiling and radiant link of the quartet of Osemwegie sisters , she leaves behind to  celebrate her legacy, Bose, Tope, Idowu, her brother Abiodun. Her children, Andrew, Ito, Adaze (DeeDee) and Osagie her spouse.
