Dear Mum,

You fought the good fight and ran the race with endurance. Heaven truly gained an angel. Though I want to ask why, but instead I choose to thank God for a life well spent and for the opportunity to have known you and learn from you. You nurtured us like your own, giving advice, love, support, tutelage and discipline. You listened and cared. I am grateful and the memories remain fresh and nostalgic. For me, it is not good bye, it is see you later at Jesus's feet. Sleep on Mum, may the Lord grant you eternal rest, amen.

*Beautiful life of an Icon*
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember your good life.
*Prayerful, loving, kind woman full of faith and godliness* We all part with a special person. Her kindness will never be forgotten. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget" May the soul of our beloved sister, mother and grandmother. Rest in peace.

Mama Oladimeji as my daughter (TORKWASE) and I always called you. I bless God for your life and having made you a part of my professional life. I am grateful for the impact you created in my life. You were so passionate about the profession and even on your sick bed you inquired from me when our next scientific conference would be taking place. You have lived well and I believe you are resting and smiling down at us. Rest on eternally with the Lord. Your legacy lives on in us.

TRIBUTE BY MRS ADEBANKE ADEPOJU

A tribute to a very pleasant & peaceful sister: Prof Yetunde Oladimeji

"A good life lasts a certain number of years, but a good reputation lasts forever"

I recall first meeting you in 1970 when you visited my husband, Mr. Oluwole Adepoju and myself in Newcastle, Britain alongside your darling husband, Dr. Olumuyiwa Oladimeji. Your short stay with us was fun and memorable.

From then on, I knew her to be a very pleasant and peaceful lady. She was a disciplined, straight forward woman who led by example. She was amiable, humble and very brilliant but very firm. She handled responsibility with full dedication and commitment, she was truly a great leader.

Your legacy and vision of progress within the Full Gospel Business Mens Fellowship International [FGBMFI] to which you committed yourself will hopefully forever be fostered. I remembered your visit to Akure in the 90's during the FGBMFI National Convention and the joy that filled your heart at seeing my children singing in the choir!

Thank you so much for being there for me and my children during the burial of my late husband. Your support and prayers will forever be remembered.

Adieu dear sister, our joy is that you lived and died in Christ and that has given us the assurance that we will see you again at the Resurrection Morning in Jesus name.

Goodnight xx

Mummy I did not get to meet you 1:1, I had lots of good things about you. May mummy’s soul rest in peace.

I call you Mama Oladimeji, although you are Professor. You are a great mentor and model. Rest in peace.

Professor Benedicta Yetunde Oladimeji nee Ogundairo, Yetunde as I fondly called you, your passing came to me as a rude shock.
Our paths crossed in 1965 when I just transferred to Our Lady of Apostles Girls' Secondary School, MARYWAY, Ibadan from Lagos. We were in the same Form 3 class which was a mixture of many sets from 1961-1963 as the school was trying to adjust to 5 years only for WAEC.
We were the smallish ones and I was drawn to you by your warmth, humility and seriousness with your academic work It was therefore not surprising that to the glory of God you reached the peak of your career as an academician.
We never lost touch completely as your name continued to echo from Moscow where you were a student along with my college sister Mrs. Keke Sote nee Ogunlanoh as well as our boyfriends later husbands who had both been students at Government College Ibadan.
We were in touch on and off as our husbands are also both from Osun State. I remember you attending my father-in-law's burial in Ede in 2004 and I almost didn't recognize you as 'sake' had fed you so much you had become robust.
The National Association of our Alma mater gave us the opportunity to meet more in the past three years with both of us elected to be on the Board of Trustees. At the last meeting of the BOT which we both attended you complained about your knee joint but it did not affect the quality of your contribution at the meeting.
You were looking so gorgeous at the last Convention and I was looking forward to seeing you at the next one but God has a different plan.
I believe you fulfilled purpose and the Lord took you at the appointed time. Take your deserved rest at the bosom of Almighty, no more pain, no more insecurity. Rest in perfect peace.
May the Lord comfort your husband, children and loved ones.
Adieu till we meet to part no more.

Mrs. Francisca Fehintola Taiwo Nee Odugbesan
Classmate at MARYWAY Ibadan

Dear mummy, I am very saddened by your loss. It was only a few months ago since we celebrated your 70th birthday party. You made a big impact in my life while I was in the university of Ife as you opened up your home to me (Bussie’s friend) during one of the strikes. You were very kind to me and I enjoyed my stay. I will never forget that. You were not a typical strict Nigerian parent and allowed Bussie, Feyi, Eme and I to go for dance rehearsals for our dance group and we even demonstrated some of our dance moves and you always had input.
I pray God gives your family and friends the fortitude to bear your loss and may your memories continue to remain forever etched in their hearts.
Rest in peace mummy. Good night till we meet again at Jesus’s feet.

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace ma.Going by the viewed tributes it shows you have greatly impact many lives while on earth so you are not dead but gone to rest. I pray Almighty God grant you eternal rest.

Prof (Mrs) B.Y. Oladimeji (nee Ogundairo) was my senior in Secondary school in Ibadan. She was a very quiet and unassuming person. I met her later in life in Cardiff UK as Dr Oladimeji's wife, who was also a Family friend. I noticed she had not changed at all in character. She was a good woman who was always warm to all. May her soul rest in perfect peace Amen. Mrs Bolaji Akinwande (nee Majasan).

Mummy was a mum by all standards, extremely caring to almost everyone irrespective of who you are or where you come from. Her motherly welcome was second to none.

Mummy could soften anything with her charming smile. Without a doubt, those who know her will sorely miss her.

May God grant her beautiful soul eternal rest and grant Daddy and the rest of her awesome family the fortitude to bear the loss.

May the Lord grant mummy enternal rest.

My family and I were shocked to hear that our dear Aunt had passed on to eternal glory. Aunty was in University with our mother and their friendship lasted over 50 years. She was such a loving and caring Aunty who was always there for us at various stages of our lives including teenage years at FGGC Oyo as well as while in OAU Ife.
She will be sorely missed. May God grant her gentle soul peace

My children thought she has another child called Ife until I explained to them the reason we fondly call her "Mummy Ife". In fact, I had to show them Ife (The Town) on the Map. Hardly would anyone notice that she was not my biological mother. Very kind-hearted woman. She accepted me into the Great Oladimeji family as a son with open hand. I never knew your last Europe and America tour was to say good bye to us. May your soul rest with The Lord. Amen.

My dear Mummy Oladimeji, the story of my memorable teenage years will be incomplete without mentioning the numerous baking experiments in your kitchen. There are no words to describe how sore this has left us. I wish you stayed longer to see the results of your constant prompts and encouragement to study in our lives. Your legacy lives in us. 

Mummy, you're one of my best mentor. May your genle, kind, and lovely soul rest in peace. Goodnight ma.

It was a great honor to be your friend. You were more than a friend to me. You were my sister, teacher, supervisor and confidant. You had a gentle spirit, a cheerful continuance, and encouraging words. You were very accommodating and frankly in our many years together, I never
saw you angry.
You will be missed but our joy is. That you are resting with your Lord.

What shall I say unto the Lord all I have to say is thank you Lord. I return all the glory to the King of kings, Almighty Father, the unquestionable God. It is a great privilege to know my beautiful Mummy, Professor Oladimeji, a mother, a teacher, a mentor and a prayer warrior. You are indeed a blessing to me and anyone who ever had encounter with you. Your word of encouragements and prayers during good and bad moments will forever linger in my heart. I appreciate God Almighty for allowing you to be part of my success story in life. I could remember when I was under training with you. You kept on emphasising that " won ma see iru eyi fun iwo naa, wa se orire.
Mummy, your legacy and footprint as the mother of clinical psychology in Nigeria will never be forgotten. Thanks for setting the pace. I pray that Almighty God with His infinite mercies will grant you eternal rest, bless and uphold all yours. Rest on Mummy.
Oluwafisayo Adebimpe.

Such a shock to hear you’re no more, dear Yetunde!
Can never forget our Ife days, your accommodation each time I came to visit, when others would not come near me within a pole, after my marriage broke up; the jolly visits to you in Cardiff etc.
My sweet friend, ‘Mama Seyi’ , Goodnight. Laala alagbase ti tan!

Ahh Igi to ba to kii pe nigbo! The entire Nigerian Association of Clinical Psychologist have lost an Icon. A selfless leader and a very loving personality. I have known you since i was a trainee in clinical psychology and have seen how devoted you are to the course of Clinical psychology in Nigeria. Your professionalism is inspiring and i was hoping i will still learn more from you! Your guidance is immeasurable when i first got to UK. Your exit sting! But yes, our loss, heaven's gain. Our consolation is this "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1 Corinthians 15:55; "He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it" (Is 25:8). Sleep on beloved and see you in the morning.
We miss you.

We'll say good night here and good morning up there.
- John R. Rice

Goke and I found it very difficult to write a tribute each time we visited the house. It seemed almost alien to be writing one for someone who was so near and such a part of our regular activities.

Perhaps our most poignant memories will be of you sitting near your sweetheart in the front pews in Church. Your voice was always one of wisdom and depth.

We will never forget your forthright and candid nature. You stood passionately for ideals you believed in and were unequivocal with your views.

We believe true mothers are gatekeepers for generations to come. You will be fondly remembered for being a mother with a difference.

We trust that you will rest in the bosom of the Lord.

A GEM IS LOST

I met Prof B Yetunde Oladimeji through her first cousin, Jide Elemide, in 1964. Jide is like her immediate younger brother, so she took me like her younger brother.
Her husband, Dr Muyiwa Oladimeji, was a revered senior of mine in Government College, Ibadan. This made our relationship stronger.

I can never forget the two weeks I spent with her in Cardiff, Wales between January and February of 1980. In spite of her busy schedules, she made sure that I enjoyed my stay.

She was a doting mother not only to her biological children but also to anyone who needed her counseling and advice.

Sister Yetunde shall be dearly missed.
Adieu!

Professor (Mrs) Yetunde Oladimeji, we recalled the beautiful and most memorable weekend we spent with you and Muyiwa when we came to attend a ceremony. Despite your busy schedule you spent high quality time with us, cooked the best foods for us and we chatted on many important topics, however we observed your love for God with you quoting many Bible verses to illustrate your points which were very impressive, sincere and Godly. As you have gone to a better place than this sinful earth, we wish you eternal rest and peaceful beginning there. Rest in perfect peace our dear sister.
Yomi & Lola Odewumi.

I met Mama for the first time 2 years ago during a ward round. Immediately apparent to me was her enthusiasm towards her work and the commanding air of confidence around her. Despite her age and health challenges she made it a point of duty to be around for clinical and departmental meetings as often as she could make it.
Learning of her transition was indeed shocking and definitely a huge loss to us all but we'd always be reminded of her life by the great impact she has made which have outlived her.

My dear friend and sister, Yetunde.It's sad that you left so soon but I know that you are resting peacefully. You epitomize calmness, sincerity and friendliness. So, God has gained an Angel. Continue to praise your heavenly King .
Peace, perfect peace, Yetunde.
You will be sorely missed.

TRIBUTE TO AN ICON, A VERY GENEROUS MOTHER (MUMMY IFE) AND GRANDMOTHER.
It is very difficult to write about you in the past tense mummy. Leaving us at the moment is something I find difficult to grab with. No words can express my grief of losing you.The Memories of your face, warm smile, large heart and good deeds bring tears to my eyes every minute of the day. Iyinoluwa still wondering why grandma is staying so long with Lord because I told her that you had gone to be with the Lord and Adesewa is always pointing to your room/you picture and say 'ganma" to ask of you. Love you so dearly mummy. I am completely heartbroken and my hearts bleeds that you are gone forever, it’s so hard to face reality but my consolation is in the assurance that we shall see on the resurrection morning where we meet to part no more. Goodnight mummy!!!
ADESOLA ADEDAYO for Odunayo, Iyinoluwa and Adesewa

I am privileged to have been not just a student but also a daughter to you mummy . While in Ife , you opened up your office and your home to me and made me feel welcome always . You were sincere and went an extra mile for me in particular. Thank you for everything mummy . Rest on in Christ .

Opeoluwa Olayinka ( Nee Oluwole )

The best prof in the world, my supervisor, my adviser-A mother with a good heart towards everyone. Your good works lives on.May your gentle soul rest in peace.

This is so hard to type. Fighting the tears and daily trying to live in the denial that you are resting with God.

Big Grandma, an epitome of love and excellence... Every journey that begins definitely has an end, hence the impact made in the course of the journey is one series of special events we do not take likely.

A gift to this world, an Academic General, God's General... We are grateful to God for being here with us and for blessing us with your life on earth.

Keep resting in the Bossom of God.

Adieu Adieu till we meet again!

Emmanuel Ozor (Bami and Deji's Maths Tutor).

I did not have the privilege of meeting Mama personally but her value system and her impressive gravitas could be seen in one of her children that inspires me a lot. Seyi Gbobaniyi's principles and practices are, and could only have been, the undeniable derivatives of a dutiful and loving Mother.

Mama, I am a believer in resurrection of the dead by Our Lord Jesus Christ and I cannot wait to meet you personally in the new world.

Until then, please continue to sleep in the Lord.

SENATOR

Mummy Seyi, your demise was a rude shock to all of us but we know also that in life we will always come across things that we won't understand except we turn it over to God who always understans; your death is one of such and so we turn it over to God. We love you but God loves you more and so we say rest on in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, you will be sorely missed.

Adieu to our beloved that will be Missed by All, God will grant you eternal rest Mama Prof.

It was a shock to me though even till now.

The Simple truth is... You will always live ON in our hearts mum, and the memory of you is always refreshing not ending and will never end. We love you mum but God loves you more.

My dearest sister, my friend, my confidant, gist partner, adviser and counsellor. I can't believe that the time has come for me to write this. I was hoping and praying for more years but the Lord says it's time.
You have been a loving and caring sister to me and all your siblings. Time and space will not allow me to say all I should say because that will telling the story of almost 60years.
I just want to thank God for the privilege he gave me to be your sister.
I miss you like kilode. You are forever in my heart.

May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of your creator.

Forever we will always love you mum.

We miss you Mummy
