Prof its a great privilege to have known you for you were more than a teacher, you were a father. You remembered most of us by names and you paid us much attention. You simplified medicine and you were not one to fail a student. Your good works will forever be remembered and you will be greatly missed

Some lecturers only showed up on exam days , Baba showed up everyday he had lectures to teach and nurture, and you knew u would have to to be exceptionally poor to fail with him!! He knew us all by name...'Olurock or what do you call yourself'....was mine. He was simply an exceptional human being,teacher,father,motivator and one with a golden heart!!! Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for their works do follow them!!!

Prof Yemco, Daddy Adeyemo was indeed a great educator and surgeon who impacted the lives of his students positively. He was an excellent teacher who connected with all his students one way or the other. He was not intimidating but very friendly and nurturing. He was a father to all. Prof, I pray that the Lord rest your gentle soul. My sincere condolences to Mummy,Nike,Sola and other siblings.May the Lord be with you at this difficult time.Eyin won a dara,Odun a jinna sira, Omo rere a gbeyin gbogbo wa. Amen.

Prof Adeyemo was phenomenal in his role as lecturer. He was more than a teacher to me. Awesome in his dedication to duty, exceptional in his teaching style and also a father. He went the extra mile for his students. He remains the only lecturer that would remember you by your maiden name decades after graduation. I salute this great man, and I am privileged to have met him. RIP

Dear Prof. Your memory is already blessed, you were an exemplary teacher, you were to us a father and mentor. Your understanding of our shortcomings made medical school bearable. You were so kind in ways that words cannot describe. It is my prayer that your memory will forever be blessed and your family will be kept by the hands of the Lord... Sleep on....

Since I heard of his passing, I have been smiling at the wonderful memories. Prof taught me to see the profession I was going into as a noble one. It was not profession for riff raffs ( in his words). He made medicine simple. He was a very compassionate and caring teacher who cared about our overall well being. 
The way he moved his right hand, the way his eyes pierced through the lenses of his glasses, and his large signature on my medical degree certificate. Professor Adeyemo you were an awesome individual and I am priviledged to have had you as my teacher. Praying for the entire Adeyemo family.

RIP Prof. Baba, as we called him because he was a father, brought calmness to his students. In retrospect I now understand that he applied a Biopsychosocial approach model in teaching his students. He always asked about our health and family, how we were coping academically and socially, and asked us what is wrong if we were not looking happy. He listened to us and always ready to help and support. Adieu Prof. Adeyemo.

My memories are filled with that of a father to all. It didn't matter that we numbered in hundreds, every student was a child to Prof Adeyemo and he was indeed a father to us all.
His legacy is not just of those who are his biological children but those of us to whom his kind words, smiles and encouragement saw us through IfeMed's rough waters. I still attribute my graduating in a somewhat timely fashion to him- he arranged for us to sit out written exams in OAUTHC when ASUTH strike fell in the first day of our exams and that's how we managed to graduate on time.
Nike and siblings e pele. I know from personal experience it's not an easy place to be but when a man passes to glory after fulfilling his purpose and leaving such a glorious legacy we have to thank God for his life.

It's hard to believe the great Prof is gone. Certainly a life well lived. He was well loved by his students, in fact generations of them! What a legacy.
The hallways of OAUTH where he walked , taught, performed his craft and groomed us, will never be the same again. A great man is departed. He will always be fondly remembered for his kind fatherly ways and gentle smile. May his gentle soul rest in peace

Yours was not a LOSS in that you came you saw and you conquered. You left a legacy behind that will last beyond your demise. "Baba Yemco aka the Headmaster" we were never bold to call you the names in your presence but we do at your back. I vividly remember a time i think in Part 4 when we were planning to go on Aluta, you came to admonish us that if we as Medical Students carry placard we are gone. Adieu. May God grant us all the fortitude to endure your passing away

i remember him- prof adeyemo as a caring father, mentor and great teacher in those years (1981-1984) of our medical training. what those of us that passed through his tutelage in the company of great medical teachers of unife of that era now live on, is their legacy in our various practices. adieu papa, rest in perfect peace.

My late Dad always said "great teachers are born not made" and Prof Adeyemo proved that adage true. You couldn't teach his passion, dedication and heart to a man. You couldn't pay a man enough to come up with it either. (And the Fed Govt sure didn't pay our professors nearly enough).
The headmaster was a rare breed and even to those of us Dental Students who only spent 1 year on Med School rotations, he was unforgettable for his ready smile, kindness, passion and the way he drove and pushed you to do well. So sorry for your loss, Nike and hope you find some comfort in knowing your daddy was loved and appreciated by so many. God bless and comfort your family.

I can never forget your contributions to my life, making me who I am today. You helped me gain admission into medicine when all hopes were lost. When l wanted to quit medicine because of my failures , you encouraged me. Telling me that quitters never win. Here l am today a Consultant Radiologist.
Daddy, l will always live to remember you.Thank you sir for believing in me.
Rest in peace sir

Reflecting on my many memories of uncle over more than 30 years, I am reminded of a man of great wit, warm kindness, excellent mentoring & teaching skills but ... most importantly, he was a dedicated & loving husband and father ...

A great lecturer, confidant and "second" father to my siblings and I. Uncle was a lovely, caring and devout father figure to all his students as well - both under & postgraduates in Medicine & Dentistry and he will be sorely missed.

I pray the Lord comfort and uphold the entire Adeyemo family - Nike, Sola boy and Yemi during this difficult time (Amen).

Rest in perfect peace sir .... Dr Sade Adenekan (nee Badejo)

The 'headmaster' has gone home. You were exceptional in your care and concern for us your student children. You insisted on high standards because you cared so much. Thank you for showing us such an example. We are blessed for knowing you and pray for those you left behind that they will do even much more!

I thank God for the life and legacy of Prof. Adeyemo.
He was a true example of an educator and mentor, focussing as much on his student's persons as he did on their education.
He helped shape not just our intellect but also our character both by precept and by example. His sincerity, passion for imparting knowledge, wisdom, kindness, humor and love all left a lasting impression on many.

I pray that the God of all comfort will comfort and strengthen the entire family through this time.

With love and blessings,

My dear Dr. Nike Adeyemo Alao ; we loved you father, we will miss
your father; our father.

He was an unparalleled example to all of us.
Here, a man, who was deeply interested in his students.
'Pa Yemco' knew that our best only needed nurturing.
He personally saw to it that he did not jettison your glory; he
fostered it. We stand here, today, successful citizens, because of the foundations laid by men of honour like professor Adeyemo.

Nike, yourself, mama and your siblings are active recipients of
favors and prayers, due to this man's great disposition. I cannot
think of him without a smile, and that sentiment is pervasive
through the spectrum of people who have been beneficiaries of his
excellent tutelage.
Here was a teacher par excellence.
A teacher of the skill of living, not just of the clinical discipline of
surgery.

...we loved him, we miss him. Please find the strength to accept and
bear his demise. His job is done.
Journey well, our very own 'headmaster'..

Eeya, Nike, Pele, I am sooo sorry to hear of Popsie's passing. He was a father to all. Most people do not even know the Professor Adeyemo; the doting Daddy, they only know the Professor Adeyemo the nice lecturer on campus. I remember those Staff School, school runs, and how can I forget his fatherly role when we entered Great ife in 1986, straight and fresh from Moremi High School, with no clue of what lied ahead of us. (Bunmi Fabiyi, Ronke Fawole, T-Bobby (RIP), Debbie Imevbore, Yinka Lawanson, Taiwo Akinyemi, Kemi Folayan, Femi Ogunbona, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, Segun Olusi & Wale Olowookere). All but 2 of us, wanted to study medicine until T-Bobby and I realized we may not survive that health sciences roller coaster and settled for Fac of Science jeje. Your Dad did not make anyone feel inferior, he was a rare gem. What about the Professor Adeyemo that was very accommodating of his extended families and in laws. Growing up, anytime my siblings and I grumble about the numerous relatives from Ibadan that lived with us, either to retake JAMB or or stay put, my mum used to remind us about Tiri Adeyemo, Jadesola Eyitayo and the relatives that lived with the Adeyemos. Your Dad was a good role model and treated every one as equal. Thank God for accommodating fathers like your dad and mine, one of the best part of my childhood is having the relatives live with us and I wont change that experience for anything in the world. I can go on and on about Professor Adeyemo, Prince of Oopo Ile Osa in Ibadan, the humble and fearless christian. Be encouraged Nike. Dad lived a good life and I know he is at peace with his maker now. Do not mourn, but instead celebrate the life of a good man. Odun ajina sira big time in Jesus name. Omo rere ma gbeyin gbogbo wa. Pele ore, welcome to the club. Dont worry, the pain will lessen with time, it never goes away, but it sure does get better.

I cannot forget when I lost my father in clinical 1 and you graciously sent a faculty car with my friends/classmates to attend the burial far away in Ijebu-Remo, it meant so much to me, a memory that lingers on, not to talk of the firm but humane way you groomed us as students.
Headmaster you were a blessing to our generation and lived a good exemplary life.
Sleep on.
To Mama, Nike and siblings lets be comforted in that he lived a very good life and left behind wonderful people as you all

Didun ni iranti olododo.

I thank God for the opportunity knowing you through your son. Thank you for making yourself the great vessel of facilitating many opportunities for many in this world. I am a living witness of God's goodness in this world in the person of you. I had no chance of being somebody in life but today the things I am gratefully proud of happened mostly because of you.

Also thank you for giving me the opportunity to see what a true and happy family should be, I will forever remain indebted to that particular memory of how you effortlessly modelled it.

We will forever miss our Daddy.

Nike & Dipo,
So sorry to hear of Prof.'s passing.
I was a direct beneficiary of his generosity and kindness.
He was an affable man and I never heard a bad word said about him by anybody.
May his soul rest in peace and the memory of his good work comfort those he left behind.

We pray God will make death your transition to eternal rest and peace as you were wont to make all those who had the good fortune of crossing path with you feel at peace. I hope you can see what a great job you did with all of us your students. Our fond memories of you will abide till our own time is up.
Prof, thank you sir!
