Sad to hear on 22 November 2023 that Victor had passed since 2021!
May His lovely soul be rested in Jesus name!

We met for the first time in 1994 during the Business Reengineering for a Nigerian commercial bank before he left for his PhD studies.

Upon his return, he supported Mac Atasie's work for the Government of Anambra state and reconnected to explore a few financing transactions.

He did mention that he had some health challenges. I feel pained that he passed.

Colourful & impactful life on this side of eternity.

Continue to rest in God's bosom Victor. I pray God continues to watch over the family you left behind.

My brother Victor...it's been 2 years without you .
Uhummmm...

Thank you for stepping in as a father to Motinola...
May God bless and comfort Bola and the boys in Jesus name. Amen .

Keep resting on

My dear friend! I cannot believe it’s two years already since you left us. The memory of the just is blessed indeed. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Lord! It is written, “I have been young but now I am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread!”. May the Lord continue to uphold your family.

The memory of the righteous is blessed. Continue to sleep peacefully, Victor, with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Dear Alaofin! I know it's Victor, but just felt I should say what I used to call you! Can't believe it's 2 years already! We missed you Bro. and everytime I remembered what we planned to do together after retirement the last time we were together at Epe, I am just lost for words. I take comfort in the fact that you are with the Lord and that your family are doing well. Sleep well Bruv till we see again! 'M.

Two years of your passing already but you still seem very much around and strongly everywhere!. Your DNA is still visible in your Children, the bridges you built and friendships you made are still all over the place plus all your financial expertise you kindly bequeathed the nation. Time will fail me if i am to even talk about the faith in Christ which we shared! I know i will still see you again because the Bible says so and i believe it. Keep resting Victor, the rapture is almost here and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Can't believe 2years have passed. Victor, you are sorely missed. You came, saw and conquered. Your legacies lives on! The family you left behind have been very wonderful since your exit. Its my prayer that God keeps us all till His coming. Adieu brother!

2 years have passed. But we are thinking of your warmth, kindness and humour. You are in our hearts in our minds always. Rest on brother

Two years have rolled by so quickly. During this time we have seen God do His thing. God has comforted your family and given them reasons to laugh. Everytime we see your family it almost feels as if we are seeing you. Everytime we remember you it is always fond memories. I thank God for your life and the unwavering faith you displayed. Rest on Sir.

One year gone? Wwooww.

Time flies but Victor has not flown from us. He is still with us. We remember him today and always for what he was, a good man, an intelligent man, a good friend and a dedicated family man.

Rest in peace Victor

The memory of the just is blessed... Proverbs 10: 7

Hmmmm… one year already… May Victor continue to sleep peacefully in Christ

My dear brother! Your departure has left a huge vacuum that can never be filled. Only the holy spirit is comforting us all, and his reminder of "what would Victor have done in such an instance?" helps me to be strong. It is still so surreal you are not here anymore. It is very painful I cannot lie. Hmm...God knows it all. I miss you so very much. Sleep well uncle Vic, sleep tight.

Forever in our hearts. Your impact was indelible on us. Rest on Egbon mi Okun ooo.

Daddy Seun as we refer to you in our home. We miss you and know that your wonderful nature and essence will forever be with us. Sis Bola, Seun and Tobi. Your strength keeps our faith.

Dear Pastor Victor,

I thank God for the impactful life you lived. I still remember and apply the wise counsel you gave me especially in my professional journey. You had so much to give yet so humble and approachable. You were a shining example of a Christian.

Continue to rest in the bossom of the Almighty.

Uhummmm..my brother..and second daddy to my daughter.
Indeed..the memory of the just is .......
May Jehovah comfort all on all sides in Jesus name.
Amen

My prayers and thoughts are with Bola, Tobi and Seun today. Remain comforted by God’s love. May Victor continue to rest peacefully.

How time flies. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. You are in a better place Victor.
May the Lord grant you light and peace in His eternal kingdom.
Rest on brother.

Wow. One year already!

Victor, continue to rest and enjoying the Presence of The Lord.

God shall continue to comfort and keep your family, friends and associates.

You are greatly missed.

Remembering you today Victor. May the Lord continue to strengthen and keep your family in Jesus name, Amen.

May the soul of Victor continue to rest in peace and may Almighty God continue to console the families and colleagues left behind. Amen

A year gone already? Hmmm how time just flies. You’re surely sorely missed by Bolatito , the children and all of us whose paths crossed yours but your legacy lives on in these children who are destined for great things in the future, by GOD’s Grace.
May your beautiful soul be permitted permanent abode in The Beautiful Realms above.

Remembering you on this day!

Brother Victor,
Knowing that you departed without the possibility of a parting message has me feeling sad that I never had the opportunity to have one last candid conversation about life and its "realness" before you left. My heart, however, is glad that you knew the Lord and I am convinced that you are in a GOOD place.
I can no longer look up to you as an inspiration and unofficial mentor but I am encouraged because the reflection of what you have achieved and your legacy will live on through Tobi, Seun and Bola. We will pray and support the family that is still physically with us, remembering how you prayed and blessed so many who could not sufficiently support themselves with your selfless service. Rest well in the Lord's presence till we meet again on the last day. - Emeka Okonya

So sad.

A complete gentleman by any standard.He was my MD at Paymaster Limited then and staff welfare was a major focus for him.I pray the almighty grant the family letf behind ,the patience, to bear this loss.

A Tribute to an Ambassador for Christ, Pastor (Dr) Victor Alaofin Ph.D

A wise, intelligent, calm, gentle, Christ focused, spirit filled gentleman.

I received the news of Victor’s passing with great sadness. Victor loved the Lord. He stood upright with integrity and had a desire for excellence. He also cared for and served the needs of others.

I admired his comprehensive and thorough understanding of the Word, and his brilliant delivery of the Word. Victor was very matter of fact about what is expected of us as Christians and there was no room for compromise.

I bless God for knowing him. He finished his race with great honour and I have no doubt that he is resting in peace in heaven with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. “Heaven is richer and earth poorer as a result.”

I pray for his precious family, that the Lord continues to wrap his loving arms round them. Bola, Tobi and Seun, please do not let your hearts be troubled, continue to believe in Christ the Author and the Finisher of your faith. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I sincerely pray and hope you find solace in the Word of God and that you are also encouraged by the words of this poem.

“Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in the heart.”

The Holy Spirit, the divine comforter, will strengthen you all. He will turn your fears into faith and your sorrows into joy.

My beloved Doctor,

The news of your demise really brought me to tears.

Since our path crossed, it has been a relationship of a boss-subordinate that completely morphed into that of brothers with valued friendship.

You were such a true boss with value for work and humanity. You led in a way that many spoke glowingly about in your absence and you distinguished yourself as a best-in-class manager.

Your memory remains with me for the continued professional, educational and general advice we shared even after we had parted ways from the work place.

May your soul be accepted unto the bossom of your God.

Adieu Doctor!

Classic Vintage Victor. I still remember first meeting him at AC...he pointed out the similarities in our names (I'm Oluwatosin)...I'll always remember that...a colleague I'm meeting for the first time creating an instant bridge. A complete gentleman, sweet of spirit...I remember him in the pool and we'd call him over for some funny stuff or to ask a technical question, and he'd come over and laugh with us...all those gentle memories flooding back...the laughter, the fun...and that was just him, friendly, generous, helpful...we have lost a gem, for sure. May his precious soul rest in peace, and will continue to pray for God to comfort dear Bola and the kids..

Our dear friend and bro,


The news of your demise came as a shock to us, not because we didn’t realize it could happen at some point, but because we had come to appreciate your warm personality and kind heart. A fine gentleman.


Chiedu particularly recalls your willingness to help with translating communications between German and English, and vice versa, during one of the squad’s swimming competitions in Arnsberg, Germany. You were always willing to help and measured. 


We can never forget your trademark smile.


For me, you were the perfect family man - supportive of your wife’s dream while encouraging your boys without a fuss. I must say, you and Bola were role model couples to behold.


We prayed for God to heal you; so we were really broken when we received the sad news.


God has taken you to a better place - free of pain, sickness and the distractions of the world. You’ve also planted good seeds that will make the world a better place.


Rest In Peace, bro.


Chiedu and Ikedichi Kanu

My one time boss who stepped into the role of an egbon and would address me as 'aburo'. So many times I buzzed your line to run ideas by you and you always obliged me.
With ease you connected disparate dots and demystified complex stuff. I learnt from you how to analyse issues, how not to ignore history and patterns, which are repeatable.

You were an exceptional teacher. Your teaching gift was rare cos it came with a lot of humour. Even when you rebuked anyone, it was in a humorous manner that got us laughing, but the message had been passed. Your humor was legendary.

You were also a good man. As my oga, you were a down to earth and relatable boss. You had so much to give my generation but its so so sad your life was cut short. Its still unbelievable that you have passed. Addressing you in past tense is hard. I thank God that you found a better home in Heaven where there is no pain and sorrow. You will be sorely missed here. May your kind soul rest in peace

My first encounter with Dr. Victor Alaofin occurred during my final interview before joining Nextzon Business Services Limited. It was a privilege to work with him; he was gracious, intelligent, visionary, and kind, and he will be greatly missed. Eternal rest grant unto Dr. Alaofin O Lord and let perpetual light shine on him, may his soul rest in peace. Amen

We met Victor through our good friend Bola on their wedding day. His friendly and good natured self was not lost on us since then till now. It hurts to know that he is no longer here with us, but we know that he is in a much better place with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Our prayers are with you dear Bola, Tobi and Seun; may the Holy Spirit comfort you all during these difficult times. Please accept our heartfelt condolences once again.

The three things that struck me the most about Victor are all centered around the same thing...love. His love for God, his love for his wife and family, and his love for others. Victor had a warm personality and quiet maturity about him. The consummate gentleman, he was very unassuming and always had a ready smile on his face. He was literally a Godsend.

He has passed the test, gone home to rest and has received the victor's crown having loved to the end; but his impact and his legacy will live on forever in the lives of all who knew and loved him.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Dr. Victor Alaofin was my classmate in University of Ibadan. We graduated from the school same year and have been very close even after our graduation. Victor was a perfect gentleman by all definitions. I will forever miss his smiles. We love you Victor but God loves you more. Adieu brother until we meet to part no more. RIP Victor!

What do we say about Victor Alaofin - a man who came into our lives almost 20 years ago? Pastor Victor immediately struck us as a man on a mission. Calm, God fearing, cerebral, witty, impactful and humble, Victor always entered a room with a smile on face.

Passionate about anything he did, Victor carried out assignments like a man seeking to leave a legacy - and leave a legacy he did leave in business, life and ministry. Osapa - the immediate impact community of our church, will always remember him for the medical outreach that he set up to cater to the health needs of residents of the area.

We also remember with joy the way he delivered his sermons. Often packed with real life experiences, he delivered them with such humor that left the congregation reeling with laughter.

Pastor Victor was also an exceptionally loving husband to Bolatito, and a responsible father to Tobiloba and Oluwaseun. His fatherly nature was also displayed in his relationship with his spiritual children in The Father’s House where he worshipped.

Victor was a man in a million - a wonderful friend, a trustworthy reliable brother and problem solver.

Pastor Victor, we will miss you, but we know that you are in a better place. You have run your race and finished your course. We are certain that a crown of righteousness awaits you in heaven. We console ourselves with that knowledge.

Bolatito, Tobi and Seun, your lover and mentor is no longer with you in the physical, but he remains with you in spirit and his legacy speaks all around you.

Rest In Peace Pastor Victor Oluwatoyin Alaofin till we all meet to part no more.

Edekin and Franka Imoukhuede.

It's so hard to write this tribute as it's still not real to me that you have left us.

Victor you fought the good fight and kept the faith. You are resting and have joined the cloud of witnesses to cheer us on. We trust God to comfort our hearts and look after your beloved Bolatito and the children. Your legacy lives on and your memory is blessed.

Rest in Peace in the loving arms of our saviour.

Victor has faded away like the stars of the morning. He has lost his light in the glorious sun. He has passed from the earth and its toiling and is only remembered by what he has done. What did he do?

He loved his Tito, Tobi and Seun.
He had a towering intellect.
He had a ready and ever-present smile
He was in step with his maker, and he was wholesome in the sight of all he encountered

May Angels lead him to God the most high

Alaofin as I used to call you! It just fitted your personality like the meaning of the word. You were indeed a king and Giant amongst men! I remembered the last time we were together sharing our visions of owning farms side by side at some place in Epe and raising things in our Old Age, so why did you leave so soon! I still can't believe you are Gone. Victor, you are indeed a friend and brother! Ever smiling and ever amiable. I will miss you lots! I pray the Lord bless, guide and give the ones you left behind fortitude to bear your loss! So here is to meeting you in the arms of our Lord someday! Sleep well Bro till we meet again! 'M.

VOA, as fondly called, you came, you saw and you conquered. You were such a warm personality, both in school and out of school. How our path crossed in Independence Hall and the Faculty of Agric and Forestry in the University of Ibadan was not a mere coincidence but ordained of God. Reconnecting after several years, brought back good memories until the time the Master said it was time for you to come back home. You have fought the good fight of faith until your last breath, no wonder you wrote "My spirit is strong and will not give in, we shall overcome" on the 2nd of April, 2021. For sure, you overcame, hence securing a place in the bossom of the Master.
Sleep on, until the resurrection morning.
Adieu, my wonderful brother!

AOK

Victor,

You came into our lives, when you and Bola ‘fell’ for each other and till date still tease her about a walk down Awolowo road. We thank you for your great love and friendship, not only to your wonderful wife, Bolatito and the boys, but also to all her family and friends.

We have been privileged to know you and enjoy your company on many occasions. You are truly a man of many parts and diverse talents.

Writing this is very surreal and leaves us with a lot of thoughts and heavy hearts but we take comfort in the triumph of the power and Spirit of God in all circumstances and that your departure though painful is peaceful.

We thank God for the triumph of your spirit and the faith to trust in God till the end. It is a testimony of the essence of who you are and the values that come from the Almighty God Himself.

The testimony of your life lives on in Bola, Tobi and Seun. They will do you proud and we all that surround them will cheer them on as you will also do from the heavens.

Thank you for the life, the love, the friendship and the fellowship.

You made a difference to many and to us.

Victor and I headed different business units under Naspers and he was a perfect gentleman. His wealth of knowledge was freely shared along with his signature smile.
He readily had something to say on just about every topic. We once joked about a vertical blog and in one hour I saw pure passion as we literally fleshed out the workings, pros and cons. Sadly he moved on to other things and that never materialized.
My heart goes out to the family and friends you left behind.
Knowing you was a delight best experienced personally.
Keep resting in perfect peace Sir Victor

I knew Victor in University of Ibadan and we graduated together in thesame department of Agricultural Economics. He was a genius and a bridge builder among his classmates. Victor created a departmental and Faculty WhatsApp platforms which is our nucleus today. I commiserate with all his family members especially his wife and the children. May God grant him eternal rest.

A great unifier, he truly and really was

VOA, the outpouring of griefs on the platform since the outbreak of the sad news of your demise is in appreciation of the profound impact you had on our academic family.

You built a bridge of friendship across all frontiers, and inspired a platform of togetherness and bonding, believing our humanity and human potential would best be realized under a common family canopy.

VOA, we never thought or hoped you would be with us forever, but we'd always hoped that you would live long enough to have the opportunity to serve our country and humanity in a nobler capacity or role, but sadly this never was.

VOA, we wish you could look back and read the posthumous testimonies about your greatness and selflessness.

Indeed, if Death would accept griefs as a ransom for your Life, we are convinced you would be back in our midst immediately.

Victor, you have gone and exited gloriously, you have gone ahead of us all to the destination we all have in common, the abode of reality that would harmonize and level the perceived mighty and the low among us

Victor Oluwatoyin Alaofin, beyond the natural and emotional outpouring from our grieving hearts, we still all owe you a huge debt of gratitude, now seemingly irredeemable - gratitude for bringing us back and together from different regions of the earth as one indivisible and inseparable family that dwells happily under the common roof of humanity that binds us together.

We remain eternally grateful to you for this singular role of bringing depth, meaning and value to our relationship.

Now that you have taken a bow, gloriously and proudly so, after playing your role distinguishably and commendably too, you have earned for yourself the laurel of immortality by enthroning a family platform that outlives you.

We honestly cannot grieve enough, and neither can we celebrate you deservedly and deservingly too , but we are consoled by the fact that whoever shares flowers of roses will have his hands trailed by fragrance, may the pleasant fragrance of humanity never cease trailing you and your entire household.

Good night our VOA, the pride of everyone of us.

Class '89 of Faculty of Agric & Forestry, University of Ibadan.

Uncle Victor,
Sadly as it sounds i know you have gone to a better place. Now i would not have anyone to gist with after church again.
I miss you very much.

            - Motinola Owoaje

Victor, it is hard to understand why it must be you, but we cannot challenge destiny.
Rest well in the bossom of your creator. Home calling is for everyone, you may have gone ahead if some of us, each of us owe the same home coming at our due time then we shall meet again and part no more. Adieu Victor

There is no death. Only a detachment from the physical body. The spirit lives on. Victor continues his journey home - the luminous kingdom of the human spirits called Paradise!

There is no rest in peace since there is no death. I therefore wish Victor a joyful awakening in the hereafter filled with joyful activities. May he be permitted to participate fully as he did while on this side. May the Lord grant it! Amen!

Victor, its still difficult to process that you are gone. You came, lived but left too soon to the place where there is no pain or sorrow.
Goodbye Victor. We your uni mates will definitely miss you.
We will remember that YOU are the reason we are all connected through the whattaps you created.
Adieu our friend and colleague VICTOR ALAOFIN.

Unquestionable God we thank God for the life of à dear friend who has finished his race and answered the call. You will be remembered for your love for other and your agilité to bring people togther for a common goals. May God of all comfort be with the family. Victor will surely be missed
