Bro Timothy “Tim” Ajala was my senior in Baptist Day School, Jos, then at Kagoro Sec School, Kagoro.
He was a pacesetter in sports, fashion, social and spiritual developments during our school days. He was indeed a role model, very kind, jovial, friendly and helpful to everybody. I believe all those that knew Bro Tim will surely miss him.
I pray the Lord to give all his loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.
Continue to rest peacefully in the Lord, dear Bro Tim.

A TRIBUTE TO MR TIM AJALA
It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that I write this tribute, it is like this for me because I'm yet out of the pains I feels for the demise of my dear husband some months ago.
Uncle Tim as I called him was my first boss at TIMA in Kaduna. You were a man with a large heart, selfless and well accommodating and that made TIMA one big family then. Though I left Tima long ago, we were still chatting once once. Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to serve in Tima then.
To Aunty Angela and the entire family, l would say take heart, i pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort you and fill the vacuum Uncle Tim left.
Adieu Sir...May your gentle soul find solace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Baba,
The news of your passing on came hitting hard. It's hurting and hard to scribble these few lines.
One thing I can testify is that you were a loving father. You took us all with love and care. I cherish your kindness.
Your memory is blessed sir,
You will forever live in our hearts.
Rest in the bossom of your maker Baba.

A light has gone out of our lives, I don't understand it but God knows best and our happy memories of a remarkable man remain.

Daddy, it was a great honour to have known you. Your last prayer for me, I will remember forever. You brought joy, happiness and laughter to everyone that had the privilege of meeting you. Time may pass and fade away, but my memories of you will remain with me all my life.

I will miss you.
We will miss you.
May you be at peace in God’s arms.

Love

Baba Ajala, you led such an exemplary life, worthy of emulation. You inspired my husband so much. His respect and love for you is huge. He is always guided in most of his dealings by 'what will baba Ajala say if I do this'.... I pray for grace for all whose lives you touched especially Wale to continue in your stead as we will all try not to let you down. Thank you Baba for being such a wonderful role model. Your uncommon analogy, full of wits and wisdom, we shall miss.

Your granddaughter, Sikemi said if only she knew that Thursday was going to be her last day to see you here on earth, she'd have given her last words to you when you hugged her so warmly but I assured her that we'll still meet at Jesus' feet on the ressureection morning.

Uncle Tim was my father's school mate at Kagoro Boys SIM secondary school. I became close to him in my undergraduate days at ABU Zaria when I used to visit him and his family in Kaduna. He was kind hearted and a fine gentleman. I last heard his voice when I called him sometime in December 2020.
May God comfort the entire Ajala family and may his soul rest in peace.

A legend has gone home. Albeit too soon .
Baba as you were fondly called, my second father was a father of many infact a father to all who came across him. Baba had a heart of gold , a complete gentleman. Your sterling qualities could never be over emphasised, loving, kind, understanding, a great listener, accommodating, disciplined yet liberal. Versed on any topic he chose to talk about.....

Baba you seemed to understand all age grades so well and related so well with everyone irrespective of age or background. You were a rallying point we looked up to for wisdom and great words of advice. A man of few words but when he spoke it was with such wisdom.
You gave me some of the best advice when I wanted to get married and honestly they have helped me to this very day.

You were one of a kind, one in a million I'd say.

Greatly accomplished yet humble. A man of class and style. An encourager, and optimistic. Words fail me, rest in peace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus.
You'll be so missed. We love you, but God loves you more.
March 19, 2021
March 19, 2021
Baba, we love you but God loves you most. Your death came to us as a surprise. Our consolation is on the promises and hope in the resurrection. We pray that God gives you a place in the comfortable place he has prepared for the saints. Rest in peace

Uncle Tim was a Big Brother Figure and Uncle to many us even though we had no blood relationship with him. being a friend to his younger brothers was enough for him to welcome many of us warmly with love into his home and large family.
Uncle Tim was a Unique, Simple, special and a detribalized Nigerian, a great family man, community leader, lecturer and a successful entrepreneur/business man.
He will be remembered for his Simplicity, Classy, Gentle, warm and Passionate approach to his issues and challenges that is infectious, impactful and inspirational.
Uncle Tim was a Trail Blazer, a Great Man of Class and taste with amazing and rare organizational skills that is rare to find.
Uncle Tim was a disciplined Man and great Family Man to the Core with a kind heart.
His departure to the great beyond will be missed by sooo many but who are we to question the Almighty God that have decided to take him from us for uncle Tim to be with him.
we will continue to cherish and draw strength , happiness and inspiration from the great life he lived, Memories and legacy that he has left behind .

May his gentle soul Rest In Perfect Peace! Amen.

May the great Lord Strengthen His Wife, Mama Irede Like we popular call her, His Children, His brothers who are my friends and the rest of the larger family members spiritually and emotionally to bear this great loss of the great Family Leader. Amen.

Rest In Peace Uncle Tim!

Late Mr Timothy O. Ajala, the chairman of Ladela Schools, ABUJA was a great man. He has always been the man the entire staff, pupils and students looked up to. He has always shown love to all and worked very hard to see that his dream for a new Ladela School is fulfilled.
Very honest, kind, caring and has never been interested in shortcuts. Hard work and integrity meant every thing to him. He will forever be remembered as a mentor and encourager.
Good Night, Baba Ajala.

Tribute to Pa Timothy Ajala.
I came to know Pa Timo Ajala as we used to call him through his Darling sister Mrs Deborah Obikanye who was my dear friend and sister of blessed memory through whom I had contact with him. We were at Kaduna together to celebrate the birth of his first son Irede and attended together most of the good celebrations Papa Ajala had for his brothers and sisters in Jos, Idah and at Ogbomosho for his late mother's burial. Pa Timo Ajala was a loving and generous. He loved all his relatives with passion. He took care of all Cousin, Niece, and Nephew. He was a good father to all as head to the Ajala's family. May the Lord comfort your wife and children left behind and fill the fatherly role you played for the Ajala Family. Your departure was a shock to us, but you have gone to a better place of rest. Adiue and Goodnight.

TRIBUTE TO A FATHER AND FRIEND OF ALL ENEMY OF NONE
Hmm, the news of your demise came as a shock to me and my family and till now we still find it difficult to believe it happened.
We cannot question God but we are consoled with the fact that DEATH IS NOT THE END OF LIFE BUT THE BEGINING OF ETERNITY WHERE WE WILL NEVER PART AGAIN. Rest on Pa. Tim. Ajala.

Tima, beloved loving, caring, understanding, exceptional brother and friend. My heart is heavy,my grief is huge. How can such a beautiful person leave us without a goodbye. How r we expected to survive this very unstable life without one like u to to bring some hope, sparkle and strength to carry on with ur lovely jokes, wise counsel and quiet but firm admonitions. U are already greatly missed and will be missed forever. REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

How does one remember an individual ? How does one sum up their achievements? A good metric is the impact they have had on the lives of others. Judging by that metric Baba was a great man indeed. Always there to the point he was larger than life. Supportive in every way a father should be. I remember how he made things that should have been scary seem trivial with his wisdom, knowledge and sense of humour. His wisdom, words of encouragement and compassion will be sorely missed.

     A TRIBUTE TO A FATHER
Mortals, born of women are of few days and full of trouble, they spring up like flowers and wither away like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.(Job 14: 1) to us believers of the gospel; " Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where O death, is your victory? Where O death, is your sting? BABA, remembering your words of admonition during your sojourn on earth triggered over flow of tears from our faces , but we are brave from same words of the Master "That we should not weep as those without hope, rather the dead shall live again.
At least there is hope for a tree; if it is cut down in Christ Jesus because it will sprout again into eternity and its new shoots will not fail.
I'm courageous to say good night and fare well to a GREAT FATHER, TEACHER, LEADER AND MENTOR, into eternity.
We shall meet again to part no more.

I knew Uncle Tim as we called him through my husband, Inusa Bello , who happened to be childhood friends with Femi and Wale Ajala. And by extension met Aunty Angela, from Way back in Kaduna. I remember I loved going to visit because both uncle and Aunty were warm and welcoming personalities . Then we all left kaduna and relocated to Abuja. Though our paths did not cross as often but each encounter was as warm and pleasant as it had always been. To Aunty , uncle Femi and Wale, Helen, Vicky , Alero, Irede , Iyiola and the whole Ajala family, I say, may you be granted the strength to soldier on. Daddy lived a good life and his legacy lives on forever.

I miss fixing little things for you! I just wish I made that call and told you about the wedding you always prayed for me about!

Baabaa!! I still remember the first time I met you in Aunty's office back then in Area 11 Garki, Abuja. How you narrated your family's investment's history in 30mins. I still remember how you told me to oblige & make sure I see through all your family's investment's. I still remember how you consoled me when I had the miscarriage of triplets when we met in Shoptrite Jabi lake Mall & how you paid for the cake of our Son's 5yrs birthday cake that I came to buy. I still remember how you gave me some documents concerning Aunty's investments for my keeping to do a follow up. I still remember how you told me to be careful with my present condition cos you want to carry the baby, but now I guess thy Lord want you to hug the baby while in Heaven.

Baabaa i shall miss those heart warming smiles of yours you left us with it. Those infectious smile that melts a hard rock.
I personally shall miss you.
Dont worry about those documents you gave on behalf of Aunty, I shall look for everything that's my Promise to you, Sir.
The Love you always show to Aunty is just mind blowing & worthy to emulate.
See you again at Jesus's feet, Sir.

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering …..
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us …..
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgements,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.

Death is sadly part of life and inevitable. I don't have the right words to express how I feel about Baba's death.
Baba, you have gone before us too soon. Certainly, the precious memories of you will remain in our minds and hearts. This is your time, Baba. Ours will surely come. In everything, all that we can say is the Lord gives and takes.

Aunty Angela is my big sister, mentor and Area mommy. I relocated to Nigeria in 2007 and every single person I met started from a connection of hers! Then I met Baba who is, not was, a gentle, easy going and kind Uncle. He is so we easy to talk to and is ever so encouraging. He is always telling me to feed my husband properly and pay attention to my family. I would always tell him that men like him are not 'manufactured again'! His passing away really breaks my heart and only becos of the physical separation, but we don't mourn like world! Baba we will meet again and thank you for everything.

I met Baba several times, only not in person, but through the eyes and words of 'Maami,' as Mummy is fondly called in the BSG family to which I belong.

Through her eyes and words, I met a gentle force, a Pillar, an amazing, humorous legend.

This is a huge loss that only God in His wisdom and grace can fill.

My deepest condolences, Maami, and to the entire family.

May God hold your hands, fill your hearts with peace and healing at this time.

And may Baba's flight to his Maker be swift and light.
Amen.

“He was a flamboyant and very able defender and captain of the very successful soccer teams at SPC and later at ABU.
May his jovial soul rest in perfect peace. May the Almighty comfort his family, friends and all others who mourn him. Amen

He had a way of grittily attacking the ball as a defender. The Wusasa fans loved it and would scream, "Da kyau kyaure". Figuratively meaning, " Well done,the fortress. "
Rest well.”

You traced me as soon as you heard your beloved cousin's daughter was in Abuja and ever since U have always shown concern and especially when my mum now stays with me, you have shown amazing care and love.
You loved every one around you and always concerned about ur extended family. Your frank talk and sense of humour will really be missed.
Rest on beloved, till we meet at Jesus feet.

Baba was a father to me. He showed me that it is always better to be kind to people and I learnt so much from him in so many ways. I count myself to be very lucky to have known him. He accepted me into his home and accepted me into his life. He was very simple and honestly did not have any wahala at all. I enjoyed always being around him. 
We both shared a love for movies and we would often gist about them. From old action movies like ‘Red Scorpion’, ‘Terminator’, old Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee movies, to recent tv shows like ‘24’ with Jack Bauer. We even gisted about dramas like ‘the Shawshank Redemption’, which we both agreed was probably one of the greatest movies ever made. It was a movie about hope, love and friendship, and Baba really knew how to show love. 
He always told me that he was very proud of me, right from my NYSC days till present. And I can honestly say that I am proud to be called one of his children. There is a famous quote from Bruce Lee that I would like to borrow at this time which states that “The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering”. Indeed, Baba has become immortal, as He will live on forever through his children and his adopted children, because we all will continue to remember and emulate him. I will really miss him. God bless you Baba!

When Iyiola and I became friends we’d always go straight from the lobby into his room to play games. So I never really got to know Baba until I would wait a bit to hang out with him. He seemed so cool and he’d be watching soccer or some shows.

Babs, as we called him, was always so supportive and caring.

I remember in 2019 once we spoke on the phone and he asked after my mum, she wasn’t feeling too well. Baba drove to the house within the hour and demanded that we go to the hospital. He waited with us and brought us back, even went round the crescent because I had dropped my phone in the sienna. 

I’ll miss our coffee and ‘bitters’ sessions. Babs loved coffee of all kinds, I’d drop by sometimes  to have some and we’d talk. We also loved bitterleaf juice, ruzu bitters and bitter gourd. We unlocked a new level of bonding when he had to switch up his diet! He’d call me ‘babalawo’ when I’d go extreme with some of my infusions . 

I’ll miss our fist bumps, banter and his ability to respond to every single silly question I would ask. Seeing Grandbaba interacting with Tara. Watching Man U matches with him “ lukakuu “ . Most especially his “ you ehhhn “ after he hadn’t seen me in a while.

Thank you for the most pleasant memories.

He was a rock to so many. I pray we all find solace in the fact that Baba lived life, fully! And we learn to spread joy with everyone we encounter, because that’s how every interaction with baba felt! You left with a smile on your face and in your heart.

Love you Babs, Till we meet again.

❤️
