It took me time to come to terms with this. I had some lines of words scripted when I heard the news about your transition to glory for the first time. I could not bring myself to using it here on this platform. They were words that captured your essence and my anger at how you left. You touched every life that encountered you, growing up one of the '5 eaglets' you were firm and jovial, always looking forward to the next challenge to be taken on. There was a lot I learned from you from a distance and I am forever keeping those.

AN ANGEL DOCTOR GOES HOME

Dr Theophilus Adesola Aladekomo, an associate Professor at OAUTH Ile-Ife, was the medical doctor that God used to nurture my son back to health when he was gravely sick having been diagnosed of Nephritic-Nephrotic Syndrome, a kidney malfunctioning disorder and disease.
Dr T.A. Aladekomo showed us so much love, emphathy and compassion.
Dr Aladekomo amongst other acts of kindness donated his own blood for the recovery of my son, pleaded with other colleagues for blood donation (which they did) at a particular critical moment, sourced intensely and desperately for extra 6 pints of blood to meet up with the blood transfusion requirements, sought an alternative and a more effective treatment method to a surgical procedure proposed by his colleague, paid without giving a hint for most bills that accrued from medical tests and examinations and made his personal office available at night to relax and rest.
Dr Aladekomo had personal love and interest in my son, the dimension I rarely find words to explain. "Your son will not die. We will try our best. Let us keep praying. God will intervene" were the words of encouragement constantly emanating from the man I choose to refer to as an angel doctor. God eventually intervened, spared my son and gave him a brand new Kidney. What a personal loss to me. Due to his act of kindness, my son then a 6year old vowed to become a medical doctor. I could feel and see my son's anguish and agony, the pain in his eyes and the tear that dropped on learning about his doctor's demise.
As a sign of appreciation to Dr Aladekomo for his rare kindness and show of uncommon love, I vowed to make a hamper available to him every Christmas. I didn't know my delivery of Wednesday December 30 2020 would be my last to you.
I remember what you said while you left the hospital after receiving the hamper, "I may have to run away next time to avoid taking hampers from you". You felt so reluctant and uncomfortable accepting those gifts meant to sincerely appreciate your numerous acts of kindness.
Now you have 'run away' never to be seen again forever. The very last word I spoke to Dr Aladekomo after lowering the package into the trunk of his vehicle was "you will always have a hamper from my family every Xmas if Jesus tarries. Rest in Perfect Peace Dr Aladekomo.

Pls Note!
I am led by God to initiate the establishment of a 15 Bed Accomodation inside the Wesley Hospital Complex, OAU to be completed before the end of the year 2021 (by the enablement of the Holy spirit) to be known as T.A. ALADEKOMO REST HALL to serve as REST ROOM & ACCOMODATION for parents of sick children admitted into the hospital. His good deeds and legacies will be show cased at the lobby of such Hall
This will safeguard and preserve his legacies and endear other health workers to sacrifical service. This is informed by the challenges I witnessed parents encounter first-hand during my son's admission in the children's emergency ward in 2018. Dr Aladekomo had then handed the duplicate keys of his air-conditioned office to me to rest and sleep at night.
If anyone is also led to support this initiative, kindly call or WhatsApp on 08162600100.
I will be at the hospital by 10am prompt on Friday 12th March 2021 to discuss this with the Hospital authorities for approval.
I will be glad if I will have other kind hearted well wishers who have been meaningfully impacted by Prof Aladekomo to join me at the Hospital premises.
God bless you all.

Dr Aladekomo's passing on was a great shock!
He was such a humble, unassuming, and self-sacrificial teacher. These attributes were very striking to me when I saw the way he interacted with colleagues, especially the junior ones and the patients when I was on Ilesa posting. He was very passionate about Paediatric practice and will do anything in the Emergency room to save a child's life.

His dedicated and selfless nature was displayed in the passion with which he worked as the PIC and later as the Head of Department (Paediatrics). I can't forget Oga's many sacrifices, prayers, and advice for me during this period.

I pray that the Lord will comfort Oga's wife and children. He will be there for them at every point of need in Jesus name.

Rest on Sir!

Writing this tribute is so difficult. How do you sum up someone that meant so much to you in a few words?
I gave birth to my eldest son, Chukwuma, on September 28th, 1988 at 27 weeks weighing in at just 1.6 kg. He was immediately transferred to Wesley from Alpha and placed in an incubator. His condition was so poor that I feared I would lose him. I was distraught and had lost hope, but God used Dr. Aladekomo, a dedicated doctor who went above and beyond, to help save my son’s life.
Dr. Aladekomo would stay with us all night because Chukwuma would frequently experience apneic attacks. At a stage, he went into fasting and prayer for days asking God to look after my child. He continued to follow up long after Chukwuma was released from the hospital and his health had improved. That was how Dr. Aladekomo became a member of my family. He was loved and cherished by every member of the Oguntimehin family. My parents loved him like their own and he reciprocated those feelings. He occasionally called to check in on them and sent gifts every festive period. Even when I lost my darling father late last year, he contributed his quota to the burial. The last time we saw each in person, which was about 30 after Chukwuma’s birth, he recalled his card number and told me that he can never forget that number. It was heartwarming to know that he still remembered such an intimate detail of that time.
We spoke on the phone on Jan 20th, 2021, mostly about politics and he asked after Chukwuma. Little did I know it was last time we would talk to one another. The news of your passing shook me to the core.
I am comforted by the knowledge that you are a child of God and as such we will meet again in the kingdom of Heaven. Thank you for saving my son’s life, the kindness and compassion you showed means the world to me. Thank you for being a member of my family, you will always have a place in our hearts.
Rest well brother. You are loved more than you can ever imagine.

The news of your passing came as a shock.... it’s still hard to believe. You were so humble, always willing to help without holding back.
How can I ever forget how you took care of my dad when he was at Wesley? You gave your all to serve humanity.

We take solace in the fact that you impacted lives, you touched lives... you were a good man. I know you’re in a better place but we would have loved for you to live longer than you did.
Good night Uncle

Our dear brother,
Our meeting with you was very short,brief but very impactful. We were 8 women, who were coming from Gboko after a conference and had a break down at Ilesha.,it was late.
You took us into your house, with members of your family you accommodated and fed us.
Your good works will continue to follow you and you have a great reward with our Father.
We believe the Hands of the Father has received you with great joy.

Our very own Broda Ade life is so different without you. He was a gem in every sense of the word. Extremely sacrificial and loving all at the same time. Always had the time to send an encouraging message or make a phone call. Listened attentively and would always have something kind and gentle to say.

I am deeply saddened by Broda Ade's demise as we still hoped for much more days on this side of eternity. However we submit everything to God who is the author of life and do pray that the Almighty God will grant everyone the fortitude to bear this great loss.

To Auntie Sade and the children the Lord will keep you safe and in perfect peace. We pray for immeasurable grace for you all at all times in Jesus precious name.

Rest on Broda Ade! I know we shall meet to part no more where there will be rejoicing and singing for all eternity.

You have run the race, you have fought the good fight and now is laid up for you a crown of glory! Amen

My dear Alade.
It is sorrowful for me to say FINAL GOOD NIGHT to you after 42years of our relationship. The relationship that spanned our adolescence through adult through marriage and through being addressed as grandpa. Our relationship as Nephrologist was further strengthened by Pilgrimage in February of every year for our Annual and Scientific Conferences. Our last Room sharing at such Confrences was on Kano. All these memories are unforgettable memories. May you find comfort in the present life you are destined to commence and may your wife and children be comforted with God's presence. Your DEATH is a great LOSS. Good night my friend and colleague.

Uncle Ade, may you continue to rest with God, we shall meet again in the presence of the Lord.
I pray that God will continue to strengthen aunt Sade and the lovely children uncle left behind.
Words cannot tell my personal experience with uncle Ade. Would I start when he administered me medications or when he assisted me when I had surgery or the times we had family gatherings or the huge heart he had for caring for people generally? There is a lot to say about uncle Ade and writing cannot say it all. But everyone in our family carries him in their heart. Uncle Ade, you continue to live in my heart and your legacies lives on. It can never die.

Dr Aladekomo was not just my teacher or my boss. He's a father indeed. Just as his name implies, he has many adopted children in addition to his biological children. I'm privilege to be one of them. He did not for once neglect his duties towards us. His passion for children was the attraction for me. He's so sacrificial, never put himself first before others. He's committed and dedicated to his duties as a father, teacher, counsellor, friend, confidant and even more. He was a good listener who would always help find peace in the midst of chaos. He had the right answers to every issues presented to him. Though he's a giant in nature and achievements, yet so humble, peaceful and could relate with everyone even children, he would make you feel more important than what you think of yourself. He was the first grandpa my child knew. Beyond Paediatrics, he imparted many lives with good morals and godly virtues. Ever conscious of life after death and he lived simply, not holding on to any of the ephemeral things of life. He would always check on us even when we're far away. He was such a loving, compassionate, supportive and caring father. It's almost impossible to believe you're gone, it's as if this is all a dream but who are we but mortals in the hands of the Almighty. We are comforted by the good and exemplary life you lived. We believe you're in a better place, resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ where we will meet someday to part no more.
And to those of us behind I say in his deep voice" don't worry, all will be well..." the Almighty God will comfort us all especially the immediate family and grant us all peace in the midst of all. Amen
Adieu Papa Alade!!!

It was our fervent prayer and believe that you would recover from the sickness and bounce back but man can only propose. For Sunday 14th February 2021, the entire Aladekomo family was thrown into mourning as the shocking news of his demise swept through the family.

The memory of your life well spent is eternal. In everything you did, you put total commitment and achieved success. Uncle Ade, as i fondly call you, your life left a sweet impression on me and so many, his smile warmed the heart of those who knew him.

He has left a very wide gap which the family has been grappling with since his demise.
We will all miss him in different ways.

May his soul find rest and perfect peace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, who he professed in his lifetime.

It is with a hurtful heart I have to write this piece about my late brother, it is even still unimaginable and difficult to believe that he is no more with us and will never be seen on this divide. Missing him is an understatement; his exit has created a void that no one else can fill. My brother was an epitome of love who was ready to sacrifice ALL to meet with the needs of others.
In our growing up years, I saw in him a man who exemplified a life of determination in his pursuit (a die-hard attitude) that has rub off on some of us. He was a man stern in decision and firm in execution, not giving in to impossibility.
My brother was fond of the word "arrange"-arranging everything within his power; all you need do is to mention your case to him and go to sleep and he was sure going to arrange it to your satisfaction.
He was not only passionate about his chosen career as a Pediatrician, but about anything that comes his way. How death will take a man like this and why should it be my darling brother makes it even more painful. This explains what the bible says in Isaiah 57¹....that the righteous are taken before the evil day. Because He is sovereign, He cannot be questioned. He gives life and allow it to be taken.
I have so many fond memories of my brother, but space will not allow me, I however recall one which was my first taste of great Ife, being very new in the University, and in two weeks of my resumption, I was only able to register just one course. This bother him so much he had to follow me to each of my lecturers such that I was able to register the remaining courses in one day. He was such a goal-getter.
Another fond memory of him was so many unsolicited funds that he was sending to my account. There were so many occasions he would just send me text message asking for my account details and I remember a particular one I resisted because of our family house he together with my other brother were working on. Despite my resistance, he ended up sending a huge sum to my account.
It is still inconceivable and unbelievable that you are referred to as late. WHY? My pain knows no bound and my tears flows as I write this. My consolation is not only that you lived a selfless life, but had peace with your creator.
My darling brother, continue to rest till we meet at His feet.

Hmmmmm, words cannot describe the shock this has been to me. When it crosses my mind, i keep thinking "so, i won't see you again when we have family gatherings". The joy you carry can't be described. It's so painful that you had to go when and how you had to. But we know it's not your end sir, you have just gone to be with God and this is where we find peace. You will indeed be greatly missed sir.

My beloved uncle in law; I still can't believe your passing away because it was a shock to me. Words can't explain how you encouraged me, advising me on how to take care of my babies.
Having you as an uncle in law gave me a sort of confidence that I have chosen right in life. Rest on in peace, my sweet, wonderful and gentle in law; till we'll meet to part no more.

Your death came as a rude shock and quite unbelievable, but what can I do? Only to submit to the will of God.

Your short sojourn here on earth was impactful, exemplary and selfless. You are very humble, respectful, accommodating, sacrificial in giving to any course you believe in. No dull moment with you and also you were a no-nonsense man.

Dear Uncle, you came, saw, fought battles and won. Till we will meet and part no more, good-night, rest well.

Aladekomo Esther.

It is hard to accept your death Bro Ade especially when I don’t have the chance to say Good-by just looking like a dream waking up for someone to tell me that it is not true. You were taken by cold death suddenly and so shockingly at the prime of life and most especially when it seems like an irreplaceable part of my world is gone. The grief and pain are so unbearable I cry a river and sorrow knows no end. But currently Psm34:5 is my solace and comforting words.
Your death makes me understand the brevity of life. We often take life for granted too much so. It has made me to appreciate the loved ones in my life because I don’t know what tomorrow would bring. All that I know in Christ Jesus, tomorrow shall be glorious. It made me to bring things in the right perspective. I want to live life and love it.
My darling brother, your life was full of so many fond memories that I can just share few. I remember my growing up, days when I had to repeat a class in my secondary school days, you asked me I do I read which I explained and you taught me the better way to read and assimilate which brought me to the position that I am today. All my medical issues were done through you, if anybody cough, it is Bro Ade. You were not tired of listening to us at any time.
Another fond memory was when my husband was sick and we had to bring him from Lagos to Ilesha, all teaching hospitals were on strike and you had to arrange for us to see the doctor at Osogbo state hospital where there was no strike. All my children went through your care. Always willing to assist and spend the last kobo to make for the comfort of another person. It is only God that can comfort us at this time because the grief is too much to bear.
Among we your siblings you were one in trillion, you coordinated us in such a way that all of us speak with one voice. We were all bond together in love and one accord. We don’t envy ourselves but respect one another. Thank God for the love of Christ and the fact that all of us have given our life to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
My brother even though you are gone, and I cannot bring you back but at least in memory of you, I can live a life that I know you would be proud of. The heavy hands of affliction squeeze us not to destroy our lives but to bring the best out of us. The bible says in Job23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold. You taught me in the shortest time we spent together to give without looking back or expecting returns. I know that I should not question God because obviously He knows more than we are. But I can’t constantly ask myself ‘’why did he have to die’’ Why can’t all your dreams come true? No one deserve them more than you. But I know that our light affliction which is for a moment worketh for us a far exceeding and eternal weight of glory. I know by and by we would understand.
Adieu my brother lives on, knowing fully well that one day we would meet at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am writing this tribute with heavy heart and tearful eyes because I never imagined doing this even in thirty years from now. Whenever I think of your demise, I couldn't but ask'' WHY'' -why did you have to leave at this time? I tried to find the best words to describe you but words failed me You were a complete gentleman; straightforward, simple, trustworthy and plain; Honest, disciplined, dedicated and a devoted Christian. A great respected and exemplary leader; Hardworking and always striving for the best. You never made a fortune, or a noise in the world where men are seeking after fame. You were contented with what you had. You were an UNCLE per excellence,  a pillar of support, always there to render help where necessary. Thanks for your love and sacrifice especially for the Agbaje's, we will always be grateful to you for being there for us, through good and rough times. I believe you are resting in the bosom of your maker, free from all the pains and troubles of this world. We will always remember you because no one can replace U!. Sleep on till we meet to part no more until the resurrection day!  IBITAYO TAIWO (Nee Agbaje) Niece

A gentle giant...Always ready to help...I can never forget the day I was almost having a heart attack and I got to Wesley guild hospital in the middle of the night but they said they won't admit me because they don't see me as an emergency patient... I called you in the wee hours of the night and you showed up immediately... I was not only treated... But you took me to your house to sleep...How many can I mention of the good things you have done for my family...You will surely be missed... Rest on uncle Ade till we meet to part no more...

My dear Ade, rest in peace. Words cannot describe your kindness, humility, generosity and respect for us all. I remembered how you help me through my children's Medical issues when ever showed up at Wesley. You provide the best medical care available. Most times you will personally pay for medication yourself. I remembered when I brought my house help to you in 2015 you treated her with respect including personally paying for her medication. You were comfortable with me remembering you when I needed your help. You are a good man of God. And we will never forget you
May God comfort your family. Rest in peace dear Ade.

Uncle, 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 as your nephew.
You touched so many lives by your selfless and countless acts of kindness, always giving and never expecting any favours in return. Your dedication to a cause was what set you apart. For every institution you worked for, you laid the path for others to succeed.
Uncle, you were and will always be an inspiration to myself, the entire family and anyone who worked with you. You have left a void in the family that can't be filled.
While we mourn today, we also take comfort in the fact that your mission on earth have been fulfilled. We thank the Lord for your life and bid you farewell until we meet again.

Adieu Uncle

Dr Aladekomo was my classmate in Medical School at Ife. This is an ode to a great guy.
A perfect gentleman, peaceful, loving, sensitive and compassionate. A solid shoulder to rest on. You represented the ancient landmark when we were just tots. We saw you as old, unrefined but solid in character and brimming with integrity. You were serious, studious a mature student ruefully tolerant of our youthful exuberance; reminding us laughingly but seriously of the reason for our being in the University and the expectations of our parents. Alade guysies, you were old fashioned but of vintage stuff. I remember your trousers like that of an old teacher, just above the ankles. You dedicated yourself to what you believed in and you excelled. I consider you a general in life and a conqueror in death. Reign supreme dear Maths Major among the saints triumphant. Your toil has come to end as you enter eternal bliss. We shall meet again if we remain faithful, on resurrection morning at the feet of our Lord and Saviour. Shalom. shine on Alade.

Prof was everything to me. I met him in 88 after the birth of my nephew, who was born at about 27 weeks and was in incubator for weeks. He will come in the middle of the night and bring huge textbooks and stayed till morning before going home. The day my nephew slept very well, he was the first to tell my sister your baby is getting better and he was with us like a rock and when my mum told him l am a medical student he was very happy.
I lived in his staff house. He was a very good cook. He got me into the habit of studying and praying and always taking me everywhere. l am very sure to this day people think we are blood brothers and would ask me where is your brother in Wesley.
Whatever am l today after God Almighty, he was part of it all. I was in Ondo for his wedding to his lovely and God fearing wife. I am a benefactor of his humility and generosity. Even after my graduation I can call him anytime and tell him things. He will smile and with serious look again advice me on what to do. He was part of everything we do in the family even recently the burial of my late dad. I am still not able to break your rest to my mother.
Your rest sir is still a shock, but you will never be forgotten and for generations  the story of your gentleness, humility, dedication to service and hard work will be told under the moonlights.
Good night Prof.

Adieu ! Our Benefactor
Dr T. A. Aladekomo
I got to know you about one and half decade ago when I was a teacher to your children. You have since then taken me as your blood brother.
Years later we became neighbour.
What would I say about you,
The news of your sudden death came to us as a rude shock.
You are very passionate, generous, loving, caring and accommodating, you are always ready to assist anyone that comes your way.
Your special love for me, my family and my loved ones is unquantifiable, you are always there to give every necessary succor to my yearning.
Sleep on ! "Our Big Daddy"
Sleep on our Benefactor
We are missing you, and you shall be greatly missed.
The only solace we have is that you are indeed a child of God during your life time.
Till we meet on the day of resurrection when we shall depart no more. Rest in Peace.

The news of your death shook me to the bones and made me realise the nothingness of this world. Life on earth is passing vanity and show. God alone is changeless and immortal. He alone is true. Seeking Heaven alone brings true happiness.
Thanks be to God, because you knew God, you loved God, you served God and you died in Christ.
May the gentle and kind soul of my dear classmate, friend and colleague of 44years - Dr. Theophilus Adesola Aladekomo rest in perfect peace. May the Almighty God uphold and comfort the family and loved ones left behind.

You were fondly called MathsMay by our classmates. I am not in, on the reason why, to this day. I had imagined that it will be a subject of discussion at our next reunion.
You were obviously older than most of us in the 1977 IfeMed class, very matured, very responsible- not that the others were irresponsible but the youthful exuberance played out.
However you were still one of us.
So I chose to call you Baba Aladeh...,
We sat together with your son at our first ever reunion dinner which was well organised by you and MOPP.
Who would have known it would be our only reunion with you.....
Sleep tight Baba Aladeh...,,,,

Dr. Theophilus Adesola Aladekomo was a man of God, a man of faith and a man of prayers. He was kind to a fault; quick to say sorry even if not at fault.
Just let Oga know about your challenges and complaints then consider it settled. He was open and free with all and can discuss his plans and ambitions with you as if you are his uterine sib.
Oga Aladekomo was a workaholic with an intimidating stature like a lion, but was as gentle as a lamb. He obviously took after the Lion of the generation of Judah who also happens to be the Lamb of God.
I pray the Lord rests your soul among the saints triumphant and take good care of your family and dependants. May he console us all and get us prepared for our own day. Amen! Rest in peace Oga.

Dr. Aladekomo was not just my teacher , he was a role model and in fact a father.
He spoke few words but full of actions. He was a gentle soul with a peaceful heart yet can be fierce when situation demands.
Giant in strides with a deep voice but will not hurt any.
His huge sense of humour will catch you totally unawares.
He is perhaps the tallest in the hospital yet the most down to earth.
His face looks tough but on closer encounter his heart is soft.
Oh death, why?
He will tell me all his plans as though he needed my words of advice, but that is him.
A man full of grace.
He bears his mind out and the next moment he puts all behind.
I thought some day he will know how highly I regard him, I really do hope he knows.
Your footprints are indelibly engraved in my heart.
You will be forever missed Sir. God will preserve all that is yours.
Adieu Papa.

My immediate reaction shared on our class WhatsApp platform-“What!!! Please!!!! Again!!!! My dearest Maths Major!!!! Completely at a loss for words! May the Lord comfort his family, Amen!!”

A great host during the class reunion in November 2019 along with Mope. A giant in love and patience. A gentleman to the core and one I’m proud to call my very good friend. A rude reminder of brevity of life in our mortal state. Thank God for the comfort in the hope of salvation.

It took me time to come to terms with this. I had some lines of words scripted when I heard the news about your transition to glory for the first time. I could not bring myself to using it here on this platform. They were words that captured your essence and my anger at how you left. You touched every life that encountered you, growing up one of the '5 eaglets' you were firm and jovial, always looking forward to the next challenge to be taken on. There was a lot I learned from you from a distance and I am forever keeping those.

AN ANGEL DOCTOR GOES HOME

Dr Theophilus Adesola Aladekomo, an associate Professor at OAUTH Ile-Ife, was the medical doctor that God used to nurture my son back to health when he was gravely sick having been diagnosed of Nephritic-Nephrotic Syndrome, a kidney malfunctioning disorder and disease.
Dr T.A. Aladekomo showed us so much love, emphathy and compassion.
Dr Aladekomo amongst other acts of kindness donated his own blood for the recovery of my son, pleaded with other colleagues for blood donation (which they did) at a particular critical moment, sourced intensely and desperately for extra 6 pints of blood to meet up with the blood transfusion requirements, sought an alternative and a more effective treatment method to a surgical procedure proposed by his colleague, paid without giving a hint for most bills that accrued from medical tests and examinations and made his personal office available at night to relax and rest.
Dr Aladekomo had personal love and interest in my son, the dimension I rarely find words to explain. "Your son will not die. We will try our best. Let us keep praying. God will intervene" were the words of encouragement constantly emanating from the man I choose to refer to as an angel doctor. God eventually intervened, spared my son and gave him a brand new Kidney. What a personal loss to me. Due to his act of kindness, my son then a 6year old vowed to become a medical doctor. I could feel and see my son's anguish and agony, the pain in his eyes and the tear that dropped on learning about his doctor's demise.
As a sign of appreciation to Dr Aladekomo for his rare kindness and show of uncommon love, I vowed to make a hamper available to him every Christmas. I didn't know my delivery of Wednesday December 30 2020 would be my last to you.
I remember what you said while you left the hospital after receiving the hamper, "I may have to run away next time to avoid taking hampers from you". You felt so reluctant and uncomfortable accepting those gifts meant to sincerely appreciate your numerous acts of kindness.
Now you have 'run away' never to be seen again forever. The very last word I spoke to Dr Aladekomo after lowering the package into the trunk of his vehicle was "you will always have a hamper from my family every Xmas if Jesus tarries. Rest in Perfect Peace Dr Aladekomo.

Pls Note!
I am led by God to initiate the establishment of a 15 Bed Accomodation inside the Wesley Hospital Complex, OAU to be completed before the end of the year 2021 (by the enablement of the Holy spirit) to be known as T.A. ALADEKOMO REST HALL to serve as REST ROOM & ACCOMODATION for parents of sick children admitted into the hospital. His good deeds and legacies will be show cased at the lobby of such Hall
This will safeguard and preserve his legacies and endear other health workers to sacrifical service. This is informed by the challenges I witnessed parents encounter first-hand during my son's admission in the children's emergency ward in 2018. Dr Aladekomo had then handed the duplicate keys of his air-conditioned office to me to rest and sleep at night.
If anyone is also led to support this initiative, kindly call or WhatsApp on 08162600100.
I will be at the hospital by 10am prompt on Friday 12th March 2021 to discuss this with the Hospital authorities for approval.
I will be glad if I will have other kind hearted well wishers who have been meaningfully impacted by Prof Aladekomo to join me at the Hospital premises.
God bless you all.

Dr Aladekomo's passing on was a great shock!
He was such a humble, unassuming, and self-sacrificial teacher. These attributes were very striking to me when I saw the way he interacted with colleagues, especially the junior ones and the patients when I was on Ilesa posting. He was very passionate about Paediatric practice and will do anything in the Emergency room to save a child's life.

His dedicated and selfless nature was displayed in the passion with which he worked as the PIC and later as the Head of Department (Paediatrics). I can't forget Oga's many sacrifices, prayers, and advice for me during this period.

I pray that the Lord will comfort Oga's wife and children. He will be there for them at every point of need in Jesus name.

Rest on Sir!

A rare breed

March 7, 2021
Dr. Aladekomo lived an exemplary life of humility and kindness. There are many stories to tell about him.
Is it how he was instrumental to my doing my residency in Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa?
One event that still baffles me amongst others was a christmas day 3 years ago as a junior unmarried registrar, I was at home, when I received a call from him telling me to meet him to collect my Christmas package, I was in shock and nearly moved to tears when I saw the content. To imagine that a very senior consultant in a profession where hierarchy wasn't played with, could be thoughtful  and even bring himself to the level of a friend ,taught me lessons I will never forget.
He stuns me with the way he gives not only his time and resources to the benefit of family, friends and even his patients. He was still consulting even on his sick bed.
Dr. Aladekomo has a way of calming the tensions on the ground rounds when it seems to be going high with his unexpected sense of humor.
He is indeed a rare breed. Your legacies live on Boss.

Selfless Doctor!

It's sad to say goodbye to someone like you! God used you to save many lives and you will never be forgotten for your hard work and selfless service to humanity.
You have done well and I pray your lovely wife and children will enjoy the fruits of all your hardwork.
Sleep well Uncle till we meet to part no more!

Selfless Broda Ade

March 5, 2021
It was Sept 1979 and my mum just gave birth to her 4th child. Bros Ade was a medical student living in our BQ on OAU qtrs.
We would normally have 2 househelps living with us, one to look after my aged grandma 'mama Agba' and the other to look after us(children) however at this time, we had none.
On seeing this, broda Ade transformed himself to d househelp coming into d house to do cleaning, laundry etc. Sometimes babysitting by carrying my little sis and singing lullaby to her. This went on for a few weeks until my parents eventually got a new househelp.
This is the broda Ade I know, how can I ever get over this loss????
God pls help take away this pain & heal our hearts Amen.❤
