Dear Daddy,
Its been six months since you left us, yet it seems like yesterday. You slipped away to glory quietly. I was hoping I would speak with you soon but that was not to be.
A very loving uncle & father, grandfather, happy, cheerful, generous & neat. Very principled too. Your generous donation of medications etc for my patients remains fresh always.
We thank God for your life and we pray that the Lord will comfort the entire family.
Rest in peace sir. We miss you so much Daddy.

Olanrewaju, Aguntasholo Mi
What else can I testify to than all that has been said about you?
For sometime you have been saying that you have your boarding pass and just waiting to board the flight, finally the flight took off at 2.45pm on Monday 23rd January 2023.

We exchanged these text messages at the start of the year.

Lanre, you wrote:
Happy New Year ADUNNI The Almighty God will grant all your requirements for the New Year and beyond Amen. O se E ku Itoju mi Olorun Oba a san e lesan rere a fun e lemi gigun ati Alafia Ara. Wajere awon Omo re Alafia a to gbogbo wa. Amin. Lekan si ose e ku Itoju mi. Ojore ni Ojo ti mo pade ADUNNI. Thanks for everything love from Lanrewaju Eni Afi Oja pon etc

My response:

Olorun ni ka ma shope fun.
Olanrewaju Eni Afi oja aran pon. Ijogbon o se nikan fa! Omo bi ina njo ogiri o sa. Oko Adunni!
Thanks for your care and love over the years to me and our children and all my siblings including my friends. Ese a jade ni hospital ni alafia pipe loruko Jesu.

I give glory to the supreme commander of the universe. My faith in him remains unshaken.

It was with a heavy heart i received the news of your passing onto glory uncle ...

You were so close to my mum and i know that her passing onto glory before you hit you badly, no one expected it but God knows best ...

My memories of you are very fond ones because you were always a strong pillar of support for my mum and the family. You always stood with family and had strong family values of which i greatly admired ...

May your kind soul find rest in the bossom of the Lord ...

My deepest condolences to Aunty Bose (Mama Siji) and my cousins (Siji, Romade, Ronke, Aramide and Enitan), may the gracious Holy Spirit console us all ...

Dear Uncle Lanre

With your passing, it really feels like the end of an era, marking the transition of two earlier generations of the family... I realise we were not in touch much in the last few years, and while I wish there had been more time, I know everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know why at the time.

I will always remember your kindness and humility, your rare insight into the feelings of others and sensitivity to their happiness - in many ways you were very young at heart and yet such a calm, dignified and reassuring person to be around, making me feel safe and understood (or at least not judged) whenever i spent time with you while I was growing up.

There is so much I remember with fondness, about how you helped in small ways, to lighten my school years in kongi, Bodija (Ibadan) and years in UK since then - Also much that I'm unable to articulate, but I know just how important family was to you, and I will always be grateful for the steadfast support you gave my Grandmother, Mum, and Aunty Fumilayo, amongst many others.

May you be joyfully reunited with them all in the realm of spirit. May you be received well into the ancestral vestibule, and May your loved ones here; Aunty Bose, Siji, Romade, Ronke, Enitan and Aramide, my cousins, find comfort and peace as they adjust to your loss. By the grace of Olodumare.

Daddy, our hearts are heavy with sadness and tears up till now from the news about your demise. Two days prior to your departure from this sinful world, you visited me in my dream, and I never knew you were biding me farewell. You visited me again ten minutes before your funeral while I was still sleeping (because it was 4.35 am here in the United States) to remind me to participate in your funeral. Your love will never be forgotten despite all odds of human flesh. Your memories of love and kindness will forever linger in our hearts. We were contemplating on visiting you in London a few months ago, however; we couldn't make it due to some unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. I will never forget the last time I visited you in London, and after reminiscing on old memories and was about to leave you escorted me to the bus stop, you decided to enter the bus with me and I said, "daddy you don't have to, I'll be ok." You said no, then I got to the train station, after saying goodbye, you entered the train and the doors almost closed on you. I said, "daddy you don't have to do that, & you said, "don't worry, I will get off at the next stop." I was so worried as if something was going to happen to you then. At that time, your fatherly love for me was felt deeper in my heart. You have touched so many lives and the memories will continue to be with us forever. You will be rewarded in heaven. We love you daddy but, God love you the most and that is why he has called you home after completing your mission on earth. Adieu daddy, Omo Lakesi, Omo oru lasika, bolubo, afata, erin kolu, sunre o. Odi arinna ko odi oju ala. Daddy, you will forever be missed.
Lots of love from, Abiodun, Oladunni, your grandchildren - Adebowale, Oluwole, Tolulope, & all your great grandchildren of the Oloyedes.

Dear Daddy, where do I start from? You have been a good father from the beginning to the end and I wouldn't want another father but you if there was a next life.

I remember those weekends trips to Lafia hotel, Green Springs, Premier hotel and Koko Dome that you took us to when we were young for swimming and other recreation.

I remember when you came back from London and all the lovely gifts you bought for us and always having the latest ‘baffs’.

I remember always rushing to meet you when you came back from work and shouting Daddy Daddy. Most of the time there was a sweet treat like doughnuts, meat pies or sandwiches in your hand, hot and fresh for us.

You loved reading newspapers. I remember you had one or two newspapers during the week and five different newspapers during the weekend especially on Sundays.

You were a London road map you knew all the shortcuts to take via bus, train to get to your destination and always asked me where I was going so you could find the best route for me.

When the temperature was freezing cold, you are always the joker of the family with jokes about you feeling very hot outside today and it was very sunny you didn't need a coat outside, asking why I was wearing one.

You loved technology and you were always asking to learn new things on the mobile phone/ipad.

I learnt how to hustle from you, you successfully ran your own core business and other businesses on the side.

Thank you for all the video calls and whatsapp messages.

Thank you for all the prayers and especially one of your last prayers, which you sent to me shortly after my birthday in December 2022.

I will miss so many things about you and I could keep writing this forever.

I hope to continue to do you proud with God's grace and blessings.

Rest well, the Nigerian/British gentleman. You left us with a good legacy and we will continue to do you proud.

Daddy Daddy

Love from your dear daughter

He was a gentle and friendly person. He was never an in-law, but a brother and a friend. Always smiling and ready to lend a helping hand. His views about life is to live and let live. May his gentle and kind soul live peacefully in the bosom of our Lord until we meet to part no more. Amen.

As part of my job many years ago, I did quite a bit of travelling in the south west and my visits to Ibadan were never complete without a visit to Bodija. Mummy would ensure that some chin chin and cake would accompany me on my trip back to Lagos and though the goodies were to have been for my wife and children, I always took the liberty to help myself to it. I was getting to know daddy in my adult life and found him to be very easy to speak with and even gist with. Always soft spoken and friendly. As a child, his quietness had been interpreted as sternness and his height did not help matters either. Daddy gave me, my wife and our children unconditional love and access for which I am ever grateful. I have traveled less and less as the years have rolled by and daddy spending more time abroad reduced my interactions with him to the occasional phone call whenever I heard he was in Ibadan. The inevitability of life has happened but that does not make it any easier to deal with. The sudden news of his passage was most sad but thank God daddy lived a long and fulfilled life. I pray God's comfort for mummy, Siji, Romade, Ronke, Aramide and Enit.

Ba Enit :). That was a long running joke between you, Mummy and I because hardly anyone called you that. I hit the jackpot having you as my Dad. You were constantly trying to make me happy and I just hope you didn’t age faster because of me.

Who will play the oldies or listen to the news on high volume now, who will watch our favourite programmes with me now, who will tell me the end of movies or shows before I have finished it, who will be the peacemaker now, who will constantly ask me about things I should be getting on with?….Daddy, your Christmas presents are still under the tree and Torọ wouldn’t let me take down the tree till you got back. He still prays for you. I really didn’t know this was going to be it. 

I guess you finally got that boarding pass. Sleep well Ba Enit. I luff you.

My Daddy, where do I start or stop. What a shock. Wow. I took you on your last drive, gave you your last meal but just didn’t know it.

As one of your favorite songs says “Unforgettable - that is what you are”. Who is going to suddenly start playing “brown skin girl” when I walk into the room and smile at me knowingly because as you often told the story - every time you put that record on when I was young; I would suddenly start dancing, closing my eyes and really feeling the song.

I will never again get to tell you to stop believing all you read on the internet and especially those videos about how onions with ginger and cayenne pepper could cure anything.

You believed in me more than I believed in myself. You literally thought I was unstoppable and that there was nothing I could not do or achieve. You celebrated all my achievements like they were yours, you took my disappointments to heart like they were yours.

I always admired your love for travel. I will be hard pressed to name countries you have never visited. You were adventurous - you were on the inaugural flight of the Concord from the UK and I remember asking if you were not scared to get on it and you said absolutely not; it was exciting.

Many people when they lose a loved one say I wish I had said this or told them how much I loved them but am glad I don’t have to say that. This is because on Father’s Day, June 20 2021, I had this sudden urge to celebrate you and tell you how I felt so I sent you a message which really was to appreciate you then but also seems very fitting now as a tribute. Here goes:

“ Dearest baba Siji, Happy Father’s Day. Hope you have an awesome day. I think I have never really gotten the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate you as a father. As I have grown older and have my own kids, I have come to appreciate you so much more. All the sacrifices you made over the years as we were growing up, when you gave up so much to send us to England. Looking back I remember so much more of everything you gave up to make sure we had a good education. We are all here today, happy, healthy, successful and all glory to God. I want to take this opportunity to tell you today that you are a great father. You did a great job, you set a great example and you have given us a lasting legacy. You should be very proud and at peace with everything you have accomplished and as the Bible says

Proverbs 23:24
The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise

Proverbs 17:6
Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged. Parents are the pride of their children

Your ever loving daughter

Daddy, it's hard to believe you are gone, we were not quite ready to say goodbye, but God knows best.
Difficult to fathom that you won't be quietly sipping your favourite drink at the next family gathering.
Hard to imagine those conversations with you about politics, business ideas and the way forward for Nigeria is now a thing of the past.
Sleep well, daddy, in the bosom of the almighty.

Farewell Daddy.I thank God for a life well lived. Daddy always made time to listen. I remember when Temiloluwa was a baby, daddy would listen to her and even record her sometimes when she danced for him. He was very gentle and caring. We will really miss him. God bless and keep all he left behind. RIP Grandpa Kongi.

It was an unexpected piece of news.
He was a classic example of a man who loved his family, dearly.
I would always cherish the trips to Kongi, Bodija and the welcoming smiles, despite all u heard about Daddy Soluade, being super strict.
Always impeccably dressed anytime, whether traditionally or otherwise.
You will certainly be missed.
I pray to God almighty,to give the family left behind, the fortitude to bear the loss,in Jesus name, amen

Rest in Perfect Peace Sir

I got to know Daddy Siji as I would call him with uttermost respect and deference in the summer of 1990. I somehow by default found myself staying over at Siji's home in the summer at the end of year one of university and I was welcomed wholeheartedly into their home with the same love accorded to his siblings by his parents. It didn't take long for me to know this was an erudite and highly disciplined gentleman who had also instilled these attributes in his son, my dearest friend Siji.

Siji's Dad was one of those very rare generational gems our creator blesses our lives with. I am extremely honoured to have known him and experienced firsthand his humanity, love and guidance amongst many attributes. From him I have built lasting relationships to date with both his core and
extended family and friends

May his kind Soul Rest in Perfect Peace

Uncle Lanre as we all called you. You were a blessing to all of us.
Our father late R.O. AJAYI literally handed all of us over to you as our custodian and you never shacked in that responsibility. We all loved you very much.
We all passed through you as we grew up. You were honest, reliable and dependable. You trained and nurtured us all. You were a complete gentleman and you corrected us and guided us in making important career, professional and life decisions. You were a father to us all. Our children favourite Grandpa. I remember the last time i saw you and you told me you had your boarding pass and you were waiting for the plane. We had a good laugh. May your gentle soul Rest in Perfect Peace. May God uphold the family. Adieu

Rest in peace Daddy Soluade, we will miss your great impact.You lived a great life filled with kindness and grace. Your empathy was always a powerful boost, and you have been a father to many apart from your immediate family.

Daddy Soluade has been an encourager to our family for over 40 years. My late mum’s chief adviser, “ Baba Soluade” as she fondly called you, and your wife (mummy) “Aburo Alhaja”. Daddy Soluade was selfless and always willing to help the old and young.  He showed empathy and grace, every interaction with him left my family and I happy.

When I received news of Daddy’s death I said OMG…..daddy’s response to my most recent message is that he is getting better” Thanks for your prayers Oyin, l’m feeling better. Love to the children”. Daddy showed love to people that are fortunate to know him. He has been truly a blessing and will be sadly missed

Heartfelt condolences to mummy, SiJi, Romade, Ronke, Ara, Enit, and the grandchildren. Remember that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Please remain strong, Daddy is back in heaven, he thought us dignity and grace.
We thank God for the gift of Daddy’s life.
His legacy lives on through your beautiful family. Adieu Daddy Soluade ❤️❤️❤️

How does one say a final goodbye to a loving and caring person like you? You were the quintessential gentleman, so debonair. A man with a ready smile for everyone. In the over four decades that I knew you, I had always been fascinated by that ready smile of yours and the mutual respect we had despite the fact that you were old enough to be my father (20 years age difference)! And each time we met you treated me like an equal. Such humility. I remember the interesting discussions we used to have each time I visited on a Sunday. You would have read my column in the Sunday paper that morning and we would discuss the points raised. I missed that when you moved to the UK. You were a very kind and generous person  - always giving - even on your sick bed, how were you able to be so selfless? I guess I will never get an answer to that but I have learnt from that. You left a great legacy and that is the most important thing.
We will miss you greatly but as you were fond of saying "we all have collected our boarding passes. It is the flight time we do not know." You have boarded your flight and I know you will have a joyful landing. May the Almighty keep and preserve your wife Mama Ṣíji (my sister-in-law) and the children and grandchildren you left behind. May your soul find its path in glory. Amen.

A Tribute to a loving Uncle.
Words failed me when I heard the shocking news about uncle's demise. Going through the memory lane I saw him as the only father I had in Ibadan. As a young girl during A levels in the Polytechnic Ibadan years back he was very over protective of me, always watching out for my well-being.
He was very kind, generous, full of wisdom and knowledge. I always looked forward to my coming home for the weekend because uncle will have life stories and experiences of life to share.
Late Gboye and I were very fond of him and both of them could be on and on from one topic to another. It was indeed a rude shock but God knows best.
To God be all the glory for a life well spent with families and friends. He has left a good legacy for us all. May the Lord comfort my auntie and the entire family left behind IJN. Adieu uncle, you will be sorely missed!! Good night and rest in the bosom of your maker in Jesus name.

You shall be fondly remembered for your love to your immediate family. Your uncompromising love, gifts and care to your extended family of which I am one. You were a man of little words but actions. In character and comportment you were richly blessed and can never be forgotten so easily.
The Lord shall continue to bless and uphold all you left behind; your children, wife (sister Bose), grandchildren and the entire family and relatives, amen.

Baba, I’ve always known you since early secondary school days to be different amongst your friends (my late father being one of them)!

As a youngster, I could see and I admired the peace and calm that always surrounded you. In your quietness you were always fun to be around, always throwing those punchlines under your breath, if one was fast enough to catch them.

We thank GOD for the good legacy you left behind in your children and the lessons we learnt observing your quiet soul.

Rest in GOD’s Perfect Peace.

My Dearest Uncle, Daddy Soluade
I remember all the holidays I spent at your home while I was young child.
You never discriminated between your children and nieces. Thank you for all those wonderful snacks you got for us.
Even as an adult while I lived in the United Kingdom, you always ensured I was faring well.
You were sincere and straightforward with everyone. You made everyone know your standpoint on any matter. You spoke the truth even if some found it bitter. Such a wonderful and rare quality.
You were a loving and protective father for all your children. You made sure no one maltreated them whether neighbors or teachers.
It is so hard to believe you are no longer here with us.
You will surely be missed by all of us. Continue to rest in Peace.

You were a kind, loving and well principled man. My children and I will miss you very much. You kept on assuring me to keep calm and hold forth after the passing into glory of my late husband, Dr Titi Ipadeola.
God will take care of all of us left behind especially my darling sister, Sis Bose Soluade, all the children and grandchildren in Jesus mighty name, Amen!

Dear Daddy,
Its been six months since you left us, yet it seems like yesterday. You slipped away to glory quietly. I was hoping I would speak with you soon but that was not to be.
A very loving uncle & father, grandfather, happy, cheerful, generous & neat. Very principled too. Your generous donation of medications etc for my patients remains fresh always.
We thank God for your life and we pray that the Lord will comfort the entire family.
Rest in peace sir. We miss you so much Daddy.

Olanrewaju, Aguntasholo Mi
What else can I testify to than all that has been said about you?
For sometime you have been saying that you have your boarding pass and just waiting to board the flight, finally the flight took off at 2.45pm on Monday 23rd January 2023.

We exchanged these text messages at the start of the year.

Lanre, you wrote:

Thanks for your care and love over the years to me and our children and all my siblings including my friends. Ese a jade ni hospital ni alafia pipe loruko Jesu.

I give glory to the supreme commander of the universe. My faith in him remains unshaken.

Yours, Bọsẹ

Dear Dad,
You were an epitome of love, discipline ,kindness and understanding.In the late 70’s and 80’s while I was an undergraduate in the uk I was residing in your house in England. I can still remember the address of the house 146 colworth road leyton store. 
in 2019 while I visited the uk, I still visited you and also took pictures with you not knowing that would be the last time I will see you I am still in shock and it still looks like a dream to me. May your soul remain in peace with your creator, rest on, we will always miss you.May Alllah grant you Al janna tul firdaus and grant the. Fortitude to bear the loss
