Tributes
Leave a tributeI thought about you today and tried to reach you via WhatsApp. Your number didn't connect.
I tried to Google you up tp see what you were up to these days. And I was struck by a thunderbolt.
You had left us for heaven!
I am still in shock.
With many losing their humanity daily, Nigeria surely needsban angel like you.
I guess God didn't want you to lose that goodness, that beautiful soul that poured out nothing but love.
Oh, how heartbroken I am.
You were goodness and love personified.
Farewell, my friend.

A lot has happened since you left, but we are soldiering on.
Your passing still hurts, and I miss you.
Keep on resting.
Love and Light
Today you would have done the following:
1. Day off
2. Spa
3. Chinese dinner with close friends
4. Weekend getaway at a resort.
5. Bought a new artwork
I hope you had a glorious day tending to the needs of your new home. Smell the roses! You are missed.
I tried to reach you on all social media and finally called Solape to ask if you had a number I did not have.
Then she told me.
I would give anything to see you again but the realisation that you are now an angel in heaven sufffices.
Reast on in Peace.
Just rest in peace!
I have had no words to say since I heard of your passing. But today as you are being laid to rest, I hope your soul finds rest in the bosom of the Lord. I pray God grant everyone mourning your loss the fortitude to bear this loss. I pray God comfort your family at such a painful time.
Your radiant smile and vibrant spirit will surely be missed. Rest on Vivian and be at peace with God.

Rest in peace Vivian
Unfortunately no death is timely,we all love to be together as humans, but we can never be together forever.
Life is a journey with individuals having different boarding passes and alighting at different bus stops.
You have concluded your own journey with a glorious exit to be with your creator.
Your good heart and kind attitude can never be forgotten.
You shall forever be in our minds.
Adieu Itohan!!
Gudnite!!
Good bye Vivian : beautiful motivator, ever cheerful and very optimistic.
You will be greatly missed.
You were at the peak of your life and work. You made an impact.
Death snatched you away!
God knows best, who can question Him? For His ways are not ours, nor His thoughts our thoughts.
Our prayers are with your family. Rest In Peace Vivian.
Forever in my thoughts.
RIP Vivian
though you left early, yet i wish you good rest in the bosom of the almighty.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your sister Vivian. Please allow me to express my sincere condolences.
On behalf of her TGM friends, the whole INSEAD community, and those of us who knew, respected and were very fond of her, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.
Yours sincerely,
Ilian Mihov
Dean of INSEAD
I still feel so sore and broken.
Your unique voice and smile still replay in my mind.
Sitting back-to-back at Rosabel, we hit it off, two namesakes.
A private person you were, yet full of life and ideas.
The moments we shared, the trip to Ghana, the movies, the many Guiness shows we attended together, I cherish.
You lived the life. You were dedicated. You were optimistic. You were daring. You were strong.
I could just go on and on.
So sad you left suddenly, but sleep on well there Viv. Sleep on well.
Thank you for always finding time to reach out from time to time.
Adieu Vivian.
You lived your life like a candle in the wind. You were indeed an amazon, a resilient and astute media ubiquitous personality. You were so many things to so many people- to me, you were a marketing mentor. I never missed your marketing tips online. I can still hear that your sonorous voice giggling at the other end of the telephone line. Not to forget that your beaming, charming and petite smile. The last time I called you which was less than a month ago, there was not an element of betrayal that you were set to depart to glory.
Sweet Vivian! you were a conspicuous and vibrant member of our Class of '98, ELSA whatsapp forum. There is no telling the seeming quiet and solitude that have ravaged that chat room by your sudden demise. Who am I to question the Maker of all things? As it were, it was His design to take you out of this perversed world to that Heavenly homeland where there is no more death.
Vivacious Vivian, your memory will forever be engraven on the tablet of my heart.
Adieu!
So sad to hear this. Vivian was a strong woman. I recall a few conversations about her family and background; such a motherly and caring disposition towards her family especially her younger ones. I remember her feedback on my MSF (multi source feedback), a not too palatable pill to swallow but I took it in my strides and I am better off for it. I will always remember Vivian for that feedback. My last chat with Vivian was when we talked about her new house opening in Benin and I congratulated her.
So so sad but God knows best. There is no prayer for the dead, I pray God comfort the loved ones you left behind.
Adieu Vivian
In all, I had the opportunity to work with you and know you also. I cherish your strength and smile. May God continue to bless the works that you left behind. Farewell Vivian.
So full of life, always smiling.
I am crying as I write this. Last time, I saw you, you came looking for me as you had seen posts about my new business and you gave me all sorts of tips and ideas! This is sad, Vivian! Painful, so sad. But God knows best. Death, has struck again taking a beautiful being. Vivian, words fail me, I can't believe I am writing RIP next to your name. Rest in Peace, God loves you best and he has called you home.
I would have hugged you more.
The news of your demise has left me speechless since I heard yesterday, I mean its barely 10 days we last reconnected!
My staff that attended to you are distraught.
You were so full of life, your passion and zeal and never ending smiles, your humility.
Continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord
I thank God for the opportunity to have known you.
Rest in peace Vivian.
Where do i start.
I was one of your few friends...with your private self.
I wonder who i will buzz now..
We were to have icecream with the kids this month. I should have known that you buzzed to say goodbye 2 weeks ago. It wasnt about the icecream. Thank you for your kindness to have reached me.
This is a shock but our Creator knows best
I will miss you dearly Viv. You have run your race.
Rest in His bossom till we meet again.
Having had the opportunity to work with you in 2 of the organizations where you worked,all I can say is the world has lost someone so passionate and full of life.
You gave your all.
This day our hearts are heavy for losing someone so special, but as we mourn your death, we also celebrate your life.
I pray you find peace and rest wherever you are.Rest in peace.
Of all the things I could remember in the years we were colleagues, I cannot shake off the memory of that random impromptu chat some 3 months back in Jan, now totally worth getting into church 30 minutes late. The plans, the anticipation, your outlook on the year.....
and just 3 weeks back on 7th March .... “Bunmi I called to redeem myself and my much delayed promise to call back”.....now I wish I had picked that call and not resort to chats and text only.
Not enough that I got to tell you how much of a highly respected colleague and individual you were to me. Your objectivity and sincerity ranks all time high. You could be trusted and that trumps many things in my books.
Though in pain of your demise, I celebrate the strong and full of life person you were.
So I submit that to live is Christ, to die is gain, in hope that with you, heaven gained one on us.
My prayers and thoughts with your family.
