Rest On Baba T, You are greatly missed, May God continue to uphold your family you left behind. Remain Blessed my Brother.

Sir. T, just like yesterday that you left us , you are a great soldier of the Cross, you came, you fought and you conquered.
My joy is that you're only resting in hope of resurrection, we shall meet at the other side of the shore to live eternal.

Dr T, Mr Sho, we miss you now as always. 1 year already gone! Continue to rest strong comrade

Sir T, continue to rest in peace broda

We miss you Taiwo in our activities at the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International. 
God continue to keep your family safe and provide for them.

Baba T. Continue to rest in peace. Amen.

Mr T, I still don't believe you are not here with us anymore. You are a great mentor and kind hearted brother. I remembered vividly when you were in 200L back then in school. We were gisting about the future and I told you that after secondary school education that is the end of studying for me and I told you that I will learn a trade and start on my own. Immediately you refused, I just remembered that voice now that omo o ma lo school ni o. T i o ba o de higher institution wa ri iyato.
From there I proceeded to earn my Diploma in Mech. Engr @ Fed. Poly Ilaro , then to O.S.U to where I came out with a draw in Computer Science it did not stop there as he guided me in the enrolment for my Ms. in Information Tech N.O.U.N. Today I feed my family from what he asked me to do. Thank you so much my Egbon. God Alimighty will comfort and provide for your family anytime anyday. I will forever miss you.

Oh! It's an understatement to say we miss you here sir, but the consolation is that you are well with the creator....Happy Birthday in Heaven Mr Shobande ☹️☹️

Pa Sho, how could I have forgotten you on a day as this. No day will pass without the thought of you.
No doubt you ended well on this side of eternity.
May the Lord continue to uphold the family you left behind.
Continue to rest peacefully with your maker aburo.

Dear Mr. Shobande, Thanks be unto God, for the time spent on this side of the earth. You are fondly remembered today 19th August 2021 as any other day. May the good God continue to rest your soul well and comfort the families and friends you left behind in Jesus Precious Name

TeeA as I call you,its still so hard to take it that you are no more here with us. But we take solace in the memories and times we shared together. Keep resting well my Brother and friend

MrT. I could not bring myself to write this since I heard about your death. It is unfair for a good man like you to be snatched away from us. All through the time I was in Cape Town studying you checked up on me and encouraged me. You were an uplifter, encourager and enabler. All you wanted to see was the progress of all. I am sorry this happened to you. You loved your family and held them in high esteem. I admired you for that. I pray for comfort for Iya as you fondly called her and your beautiful and brilliant boys, each of them with exceptional gifts. Dont worry because I know that all the love and care you gave others during your life time and your work in Christ will surely go back to them. Rest in peace my brother and remember to look down on us still here with that radiant smile of yours.

It's difficult to bid you farewell Baba T, but inevitably, that is how we'll all end for that for us is the true beginning of eternal Life, all the great times we had together I can never forget, I miss you so real and I hope you take your rest at the bossom of your loving saviour. Good night

It's still like it didn't happen .....may God grant you eternal rest....it's well with sis Yejide and the boys

I still can't believe this. Ha! Mr T. He was a great man with great vision. Many people will surely miss you. Aunty Yide, God Almighty will continue to protect, guide you and your children in Jesus name. Amen. Mr. T. RIP.

Mr T., o ga o, So it is true? I am speechless, I still can’t believe that you are not with us anymore. The little time we spent together has brought so much memories of your kindness and liveliness. God understands it all. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. May the Lord comfort and strengthen your loving wife and the wonderful boys left behind. May he grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss. Our thoughts are prayers are with Mummy Tireni and the whole family. It is well

Dear Taiwo
This is so surreal.
We however thank God for your life. Rest in Gods perfect peace and May Yejide and the boys be deeply comforted by the Almighty Father. 
So many fond memories of you as we all started our young family life together at Ogba.

Egbonmi Sir T as you're fondly called, I can't still believe you're gone, the good thing is that you have not died but sleep as the Bible says, we will meet again at the other side of the shore on the glorious morning when the saints are marching in.
Rest in hope of resurrection!

Hmmmm! Mr. Sho, the news of your passing was quite shocking but I believe heaven has gained a warm and remarkable man. Sleep easy with your maker.

I still can't believe this. Am in total shock. Taiwo was a great friend that stood by you through thick or thin. My God comfort his wonderful family and may he rest in peace. He will be greatly missed.

I'm in shock over the ugly and very sad news of Ur demise sir. On many occasions, I have seen Mr Shobande and wife at events together as best friends and very cheerful people. A complete gentle Man and lover of his family. This news broke my heart...I lack words to describe this. I pray God almighty to show you mercy and grant ur gentle soul eternal rest, amen and also accord Ma Yejide and ur Boys the fortitude and needed strength in this period of grief and mourning ☹️☹️

Miss you Dr T as I have already started calling you. A good man, respectful and diligent. A lover of God and focused individual. Love his family and had good plans for them Man Sho, good night

Pa Sho, as I'm fond of calling you. It's hard to believe that your journey would end this soon. Not with the usual assurance of "I'm doing better" "I'll come back with praises".
On the eve of your addmision at LUTH, your confidence was so strong, receiving every words prayers in faith.
Your ill-health would not stop you from extending to others. Not even an excuse for your Chapter not being represented at the just concluded NNC. 
So diligent in duty that any assignment with your name, as action party, is as good as done.
You were always at hand to support and encourage me. Ikú o ma d'óró! So I won't hear "kílónselè ègbón" from you again? Not even a parting word on other assignments of the FGBMFI and our baby cooperative society?
Nothing happens that is neither permitted nor directed by God.
We prayed, but I totally submit to His will.
The Lord will uphold your loving and supporting wife, keep your children and comfort the entire family members.

Now that the reality is dawn, oh Lord, i thank You for the life of my brother/friend and ask for the fortitude to accept what I cannot change. May Taiwo's soul be at peace with You.

Adieu my dear friend and aburo.

Dear brother Taiwo Shobande,

You are a good man, with a good heart. Your time here on this side you invested in supporting, encouraging, sharing, giving and showing love to everyone their status notwithstanding.

My family, and the Church of Jesus Christ which i have the privilege to oversee was glad to see you in our midst Sunday morning of December 20, 2020 (you came unannounced while the service was going on) and your words were "I came to identify with you on this task as God laid it upon my heart, kindly have this seed as my own token for the kingdom work'' were your words.

You and I, have had a number of wonderful experience which letters would fail to put together accurately.

You have done well. My Prayer is that God would be with Aunty yejide and the three wise men. They will be comforted and would be blessed from every of your labour and investment in Jesus Precious Name.

You will always be remembered for good.

God will comfort the family, friends, fellowship, community, Church and the Nation at large in Jesus Precious Name!

Pastor Abiodun Salami
Right Words Restoration Church.
Lagos, Nigeria.

I knew Mr Taiwo like a year ago and one thing that drew me close to him was his heart for God and His Kingdom.

My prayer is that your labour of Love will continually speak for you and the family you left behind in Jesus name, amen.

We shall be Missing You.

Mr. Show, it is well with your soul, you came, you saw and you conquered. I pray God grant your soul eternal rest IJMN. Yejide, my sister, the Lord will comfort you and to the boys God will uphold you and grant you the grace to forge ahead with life. And to the entire family, I pray the good Lord will grant you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Life is indeed a journey. Good night Mr. Show.

I still can’t believe you have gone sir T, this handsome man, inside and out,was a wonderful friend and brother to me,supporting me for over the years with his gentle and caring nature.One of his beliefs in life was the importance of being authentic with people, saying what needs to be said because it’s good for the relationship and for the soul.Unfinished business causes pain and having peace is essential for a healthy and joyful life.Also,I always admired how he never judged or forced his opinions on anyone,but offered valuable and truthful advice that I will surely miss.Egbon mi TAIWO shobande May your gentle Soul Rest In Peace.

Death is inevitable they said but yours was shocking olorun Mr T

Death just has a way of touturing us by taking away our loved ones unexpectedly sometimes but gbo gbo e ye olorun.

I still can't rap it round my head knowing fully well that you are gone. godamm it .

You've always been a big brother and a mentor to me, whenever you were in London, you would always come around to see how I was doing.

You would advise me, talked to me, telling me to always remember where i came from and to always stay focused on my goals.

Plenty talk dey if I begin talk on how great you were but only God giveth and only him taketh.

Mr T, you be correct man
Mr T, you be legend
Mr T you are a GREAT man

TILL WE MEET AGAIN

MAY YOUR SOUL CONTINUE TO REST IN PERFECT PEACE EGBONMI ️️️

Koko

Baba T.. your demise is a very rude shock to me bro. Because I still spoke with you on phone when I came around. Unfortunately we couldn't see because of covid restrictions. I'm glad that we managed to catch up, laughed,and at least had a feel of gladness in our conversation. I pray God rests your soul in jesus name Amen.

The sad news of your sudden passing was exruciatingly devastating. However, we take solace in the fact that you lived a good, impactful and dependable life.

As you journey to a glorious eternity, your good deeds are not only following you but would be remembered by all who you seflessly touched with love and large heart.

God will console, comfort and encapsulate your grieving family in his unfailing grace.

Dear Mr T., Journey Well

May your gentle soul Rest in Perfect Peace and may God comfort Yejide Shobande and the children as well as the extended family. Sun re o!

Taiwo ,its so hard to believe but it really happened that you have translated to glory
I pray that God we show us Grace and Mercy to meet in Glory
Good nite Taiwo

Rest in peace bro.
May God comfort and strengthen the family.

TeeA,like I usually call you. Your exit is still a massive shock for me. We met at Ogun Poly now Moshood Abiola Poly as classmate in 1988 and our friendship grew over the years,through our days in Banking, to your sojourn in the UK,and return back to Nigeria to start business. In all of this, you are a very reliable,dependable and honest friend and brother. Your relationship with me was built on pure undiluted love. You will always check up on me weekly,even when i was failing in reciprocating same gesture. You so much believe in me to the extent that I find it so hard to let you down or be found on any side against you.When some of our common friends do you wrong, you are never angry, despite my protest and desire that you stand your ground, your response is always to calmly forgive them and let them be. You are a great guy,brother and friend.
TeeA, rest on in the bossom of your maker and my prayers to Yejide and the kids. That God will perfect all that concerns them and HE will fill that vacuum created by your exit
RIP TeeA

Mr T,
A great friend and brother. I'm encouraged that you are with the saints triumphant. During your time on earth, i have seen you fulfil true religion: Feed the widow, the poor, preach the gospel to lost soul and push the frontiers of the kingdom. Till we meet on that great day, rest well my Egbon, my friend, my brother. RIPP

Rest in peace bro

My brov its out usual employed salutation. with a continuous cheerfully look. Honestly this is a rude shock,.....so am still finding it difficult to come to term with this. I wish its just not true. God will keep all you left behind especially Yejide and the boys. Continue to rest in peace. Adieu!

Hmnnnn, Uncle Taiwo, your demise is still a shock to me, I find it hard to believe, I can’t forget how friendly and pleasant to speak with u were, always willing to give great advice on career and life issues. You will forever be missed. Rest in Perfect Peace

Uhmmm, Taiwo, writing your tribute is still strange and unbelievable to me.
When your death was announced we were all shocked.
I cried. Who would have believed you would leave us so soon?
I remember when last I saw you at our colleague and friend's mum' burial (Dapo Agbato) after so many years.
The excitement on your face was indescribable.
Thereafter, you would reach out to me occasionally to check on me.
On our Alumni platform you were always very peaceful. You would pacify parties fighting on the platform.
Taiwo I pray the Holy Spirit comfort your dear wife and entire family.
God will give them His beauty for their ashes.
Oil of Joy for their mourning and His garment of Praise for their spirit of heaviness IJMN.
May the Lord grant you eternal rest and shine His perpetual light upon you IJMN.
We shall all miss you my dear Broda.
RIP.

Taiwo it's very hard to say goodbye but we thank God for your life, you were a wonderful friend and colleague, always ready to support the cause of our alumni. I pray God grant you rest and give your family the fortitude to bear the great loss. Good night omo Shobande.

Meeting you in the month of June, 2019 along Ogunnusi Road was like an answered prayers for me. You built me faith, my hope and you made me to believe in myself again. The twins are fond of you, and never stopped asking after you. I believe you're with your maker and you found rest in Him. Your demise was a great shock to us, we all missed you and you'll be forever missed Mr. Taiwo Shobande. Till we meet and path no more at the feet of Jesus....Rest on

Mr Taiwo, (egbon or daddy wa) like I always call you. Our path crossed in 2016 February at Daystar Leadership Academy-Lagos. I was the leader of a subgroup that you were in, you liked my leadership style ,supported the group with money for our mini project and afterwards you invited me for a business meeting of the full gospel business men fellowship International, and then our egbon-aburo relationship started. You were always looking out for me,encouraging me, during my master's degree program you were very supportive. Your giving anointing is contagious, you gave even when you don't have much in your account. The people that took advantage of your generosity, you forgave them. Your Leadership style is commendable, you looked over every member of your chapter and was so concern about their welfare. During lockdown you were always calling to check on us. You always advise me to read, I remember the day you invited me upstairs to your library. You were brilliant, you have a very good command of English, you anchor fellowship and district program with poise and panache, you wanted to go for public speaking and broadcast journalism short course, I made enquiries for you and even suggest you joint toast master's international and you were willing to do it. When I volunteered to be your PA sometimes last year, you laughed and said PA without pay, and then you started giving me task to do, too numerous to mention, but I was glad to do them. The last task was sending me to Abuja to represent you at the NNC conference of the full gospel. Till my flight on Thursday morning of 25th, we were still talking and you gave me all necessary information and guidelines, Monday 22nd, I was in the gym when you called giving me briefing of the meeting. we talked for long and I asked how you were feeling, you said "mo wa okay". I was praying for you when you told me few weeks ago that you were not feeling too well and I said I was coming to see you, you said I should call to know your whereabouts, that you might be at Ago-Iwoye. Egbon I was earnestly waiting for you to be confirmed a Dr.(PhD), I was already calling you Dr. Shobande. When I called severally and sent text after the conference and you were not picking nor replying text, I was worried, but I knew all was well. The morning I was informed of your demise, I still sent you a text with a healing scripture, without knowing you have transitioned to glory, but you read it from the other side of eternity. 
Only God knows how many times I have called your name unconsciously since you passed on. Your demise really hit me egbon, you left too soon. But I know you are in a better place. I am missing you already sir. RIP( Return if possible). Goodnight babaT, till we meet on the resurrection morning.

Taiwo, you have gone to a better place. Yejide told me you said that you saw glory. No wonder you kept saying "Sister Ireti, ani ko si nkankan" "Mo wa okay" So I believed you were going to pull through but alas.......
I know can now truly say "Am happy" in the bosom of our Lord.
Yejide, the boys, your egbons and aburos on Shobande and Akoni side and all your adopted family will truly miss you.
All I can say is "Oye Olorun"
We trust God for strength at this time.
Rest in peace Taiwo!!!

It still feels like a dream. I still cannot believe you have left, we will always remember and love you. You have a left a big void in our lives and life will never be the same again. You will always be in our thoughts, prayers and in our hearts. We miss you every single day. We will never forget you and you always remain our dear daddy.
Love from your children.

Daddy I never believed that you will leave us on that faithful day. It happened like a movie and now you are no where to be found. The legacies you left behind and the unity you always bring amongst your family will never be forgotten, I promise to start from where you stopped dad. Having you as a father was the best experience I ever had. Daddy I feel pain when ever I remember that you did not wait to eat from my hustle after all your struggles to see me and my brothers through school. You were a man of peace, honour and dignity. May the Almighty Lord grant your Peaceful and gentle soul rest in his vine yard Amen. Love you plenty Daddy.

Hmmm..still shocked over your passing. I couldn’t believe you left this world but l know you’re resting well. The last tome we talk , l never knew that would be last. Sun re oo. I pray that almighty God will give Sister Yejide and the children the fortitude to bear tour loss . May your soul rest in perfect peace my brother!

I still can't believe you're gone. You didn't even give us the chance to repay you for everything you've done for us. You have sacrificed so much for us. You didn't even get to enjoy life because your life was dedicated to helping people. You touched so many lives by your selfless and countless acts of kindness, always giving and never expecting any favours in return. Fine, we had some misunderstandings BUT I am who I am today because of God and YOU. You are my hero. It hurts so much my incomparable brother to see you gone so soon and I don't know if I will ever get over your passing. I still can’t believe I am writing a tribute because of your passing. Words cannot describe this difficult moment, but if this is the last time I get to say goodbye then I know I will do so with the knowledge that I consider myself blessed to have lived this life around YOU..........Your sudden death came as a rude shock. We did not expect it and we wish we had more time to continue to appreciate you. You were and will always be an inspiration to myself, the entire family and anyone you came-across. You have left a void in the family that will never be filled. Your memories will remain in my heart forever until we meet again. God in His infinite wisdom knows best. May Our Lord comfort and sustain the family, your wife and children now and always. May God Almighty keep you safe resting in perfect peace till resurrection day... AMEN.

I am still in shock,i have asked questions how,where ,what etc but God knows all.I am just short of words.Man Tee,may your soul continue to rest in peace.Goodnight Man Tee..May our Lord bless and comfort Yejide,your boys and your family during this time of grief.It is well.

I am still in shock, I still can't believe my eyes. You are indeed a giver, a mentor, an adviser and kind hearted. I will forever miss you Mr T, my Egbon is gone. May your gentle soul rest in peace (Amen). Always in our hearts: Tee Money, Alasco, Skiibi, Damisico, Shemy and Shykemi SHOBANDE

Big T as I fondly called you.
You were smooth, sleek and soft spoken.
Always enjoyed your company anytime we would hang out at our usuals back then.
I pray Yejide and the kids handle this well.
Rest in Peace Big T
