I vividly remember how you organized an outing for my siblings and me when we lost our brother as children. That meant so much to me.
It's no surprise that you grew up to make such a huge impact on the lives of those around you.
We love you, and we'll miss you. Rest in peace, Bimbo.
While our hearts are heavy and we will miss you greatly, we do not mourn as those who have no hope. We take comfort in God's promise that those who die in Christ will live again, and we rejoice in the assurance that you are at peace in the presence of our Lord.
Losing you at such a young age is a poignant reminder of how fragile life is, and how precious our time together truly is. My heart goes out to Tobi and the kids who are carrying the heaviest part of this burden.
I am grateful for the moments we did share. You will be remembered with tremendous respect, warmth, and fondness. You were always the gentle one.
Sun re o Abimbola!
Bimbo was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a genuinely kind friend. She had a beautiful way of making people feel cared for, valued, and loved. Her warmth, laughter, and gentle spirit touched so many lives, and I feel blessed to have known her.
Although, our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that she knew and loved Christ. We grieve her absence, but we rejoice in the hope that she is now at peace in His presence.
Bimbo, thank you for your friendship, your kindness, and the memories we shared. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Rest well, Abimbola.
She was someone I deeply respected. We shared a similar Christian background, both rooted in the Baptist faith, and what stood out to me was how she carried those values with grace. In a world where many drift away from the foundations they were raised with, she remained grounded. Her faith was not loud for attention, but it was evident in the way she lived, the way she carried herself, and the way she treated people.
She was gentle, respectful, and peaceful. She tried to mind her own business and lived honourably. She showed love in a calm and sincere way. She valued her home, protected her marriage, and carried herself as a devoted wife and mother. Tobi and her children were clearly important to her, and she gave herself to them with love and commitment.
What I will remember most is the quiet beauty of her character. She was not someone who needed to force her presence, yet her absence is now deeply felt. She lived with values that are becoming rare: humility, loyalty, respect, faithfulness and devotion.
As we mourn her passing, my heart goes out to Tobi and the kids she has left behind. It is difficult to understand a loss like this, and words feel inadequate. But I trust that the God she served faithfully will comfort, strengthen and uphold her family in the days ahead.
May Bimbo's gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may the Lord surround all of us with His comfort, strength and grace. In Jesus name. Amen

May you rest in peace and power, free from pain. You were a remarkably kind and genuine person, carrying yourself with a quiet strength that inspired everyone around you. While we find comfort in knowing that your suffering is finally over, our hearts are heavy with the loss of such a beautiful soul. You were a wonderful friend to so many, and your memory will live on forever in our hearts.
My dear Bimbo, I am still in shock. I find it hard to believe that I won't be seeing your beautiful face again. I won't hear your quiet, but strong voice anymore. It's hard to write about you in the past tense. I won't lie, this one hurts. It hurts so deeply. We take solace in the fact that you are with the Lord. He took you at His own time. We pray for comfort and strength for the family you left behind.
Rest in peace, Abimbola Akintokun, daughter of the Most High God xx
I still didn’t want to believe you were gone. I’ve been asking Myself so many Questions about so many things, that how could this happen…Like How?!. Why?!.
I could remember during my Childhood days in Church then. You’ve always been Quiet & Calm. You were really easy going and Peaceful, with no drama. So i’m not Surprised when a lot of People said the same thing. It shows how Consistent you’ve been…
I could remember the Lip gloss with Glitters you normally use then. It used to fit your Innocent Pretty and Calm Face.
It was wonderful you were part of My Childhood Memories.
One thing I know you will be reborn back your Family, and perhaps in a new body suit. But you’ll be Recognized by your Gentle & Peaceful Nature…
The Memories of you will not Fade Off…
Rest In Peace BIMBO ALADE.
A beautiful soul, a loving heart
Quiet in spirit, but strong in God
I remembered our teen years
Bimbo you are loved
Safe in her Maker's hand
Heaven gained an angel
We lost a loved one
Bimbo you are loved
You have fought a good fight
You have finished your race
You have kept the faith
Bimbo you are loved
My heart especially goes out to your children. Thinking of them reminds me of the love and faith you shared with those around you.
Your love for God and your gentle spirit were truly felt. You will be greatly missed.
May the Lord comfort your family, loved ones, and all who are grieving your loss.
Adieu🤍🕊️
Calm, beautiful inside out, witty, creative and business-savvy are words that come to mind when I think of you.
This one is hard but I can take solace in the fact that you knew and loved God. May the Lord whom you loved and served, comfort your family and loved ones.
Thank you for being a part of my childhood memories. Growing up together in Abundant life church was a blessing, and I will always remember your kind and gentle spirit. Though you are gone too soon, but we know you’re in a better place now. You will be deeply missed.
For us to live is Christ and to die is gain is one of verses that has brought succor. You are with the Lord...
Thank you for giving to the Lord. Many lives were blessed and shaped by your commitment to the Lord.
The God of all comfort, strengthen and comfort all your family members and loved ones.
You will definitely be missed and remembered...
The news of your passing came as an intense shock. Even now, it feels difficult to accept that you are no longer with us.
As I reflect on the memories we shared, my thoughts keep returning to the last time I saw you and your family when you visited in October last year. It was one of those moments that seemed ordinary at the time, with the simple joy of being together, but it sure means so much more now.
I will always treasure the memories of your simple acts of kindness and thoughtful conversations.
My deepest thoughts and prayers are with your beautiful family during this incredibly difficult time. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around them🙏🏽
You will be deeply missed♥️
It has taken me days to search for words but still can't find them. Doing life with you has been such a delight - From teen days to uni days, to church days and unto the real world. Time passed, seasons changed but you were consistent, you dared to dream and you always achieved them. I'm glad you are in a better place. I love you. Rest well darling friend.
Typing this tribute and still in denial.
Never the less, I find comfort in God's word as we do not mourn like people without hope.
You have fought a good fight, finished the race and kept the faith.
I pray for God's unwavering love and strength for your entire family.
Rest well Bimbo.
Don’t know how to write this and in past tense. So I am going to be the non conformist you have always known me to be and write you a note instead.
I went through several years worth of chats, links, screenshots and voice notes. My only take away amidst the tears was that you have been a constant presence in my life through these years, except for the few years we lost touch briefly. One so constant that it could almost be taken for granted.
Beneath that gentle and calm appearance lies great strength and strong determination. I saw you grow, blossom and emerge into a stronger version of yourself. Breaking barriers as you fought your way out of your comfort zone over and over again. You would not let any one take you for granted and your common lingo during our teenage years was ‘mi o raye nonsense’ (I don’t have time for nonsense).
We navigated our many journeys together - childhood and teenage years, uni (when we reconnected), relocation (twice), pregnancies, motherhood and weight loss (even though I couldn’t see your weight). I have been looking forward to picking up on the next phase after our birthdays, only to learn that you had to go on this journey of no return. Let me not lie’ as you would say - I am still in shock babes.
Bimbo - loyal and always stepping up to support. My bride’s bridesmaid, my own bridesmaid. Even when it wasn’t so convenient, you still showed up. Your inquisitive mind enriched the depths of your knowledge. And even after being teased about asking questions for Africa, you would still go on to ask the next question.
Your love for God has always been very evident; making no compromises with your kingdom standards.
I am glad you discovered yourself, explored the depths of your being, served God, was loved and deeply loved in return, albeit for a short time. Who am I to question God?
This is very painful and ‘oya sorry now’ as you would say wouldn’t make it go away. My thoughts and prayers will always be with your darling husband, beautiful kids, mummy and your siblings. I pray God continues to hold them in his warm embrace. He will comfort and strengthen them. May he help them find the peace that passes all understanding.
I will carry your memories with me now and always. Ore miiiii (my friend)! I will miss you greatly and knowing you would no longer be just one message or airplane away makes it hurt so badly. And just so you know, I’ll still be sending you messages.
Sleep on my beloved until we meet again 🧡🧡🧡.
Yours truly
Words fail me but I choose to remember you for the beautiful soul that you were. Ever since we met in Bowen with Tobi (as we fondly called ourselves as aro meta), you have shown how deeply you cared about people. You were a lady with few words but when given a listening ear, you will pour out your mind.
You were very detailed, careful and patient. We set goals on how to succeed in Bowen and we did against all odds.
Bimbo you really cared!!!
You were resilient, brilliant and thoughtful.
You saw potential in situations and in people.
Your love for Jesus was real and deep. You loved your family and made yourself available for others.
Thank you for the gift of friendship.
Thank you for sharing the goofy side of you.
Thank you for impacting my life with your kind words.
I will always remember you as the kind hearted Person that you are.
May God comfort your loved ones.
Bimbo, you will be truly missed. Rest well.
I never believed I would be writing this but God knows best.
Our paths crossed at the university of bowen and you had a quiet presence everywhere you were.
Fast forward to my move to Canada in 2022, we reconnected again and you were willing to help in every way possible.
My heart is heavy after hearing this news but can we question God
Thank you for everything you did and your walk with Christ.
My condolences to the family.
Abimbola was a caring, loving, and incredibly helpful person whose kindness touched the lives of many. We will always remember her generosity and support during one of the most important moments of my life. When my wife and I were preparing for our wedding, she went above and beyond by designing all the T-shirts for our entire entourage and ensuring they were sent to us. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to help will never be forgotten.
Her warmth, kindness, and beautiful spirit will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
May her soul rest in perfect peace, and may the good Lord grant her husband, children, family, and loved ones the strength, comfort, and grace to bear this irreparable loss.
Rest well, Abimbola. Your memory will live on in our hearts.
Our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.
I have been replaying our college days and life after college in my head…. Grateful to have experienced you, your kindness and simplicity.
My heart goes out to your family, mommy and your siblings.
Rest well in God’s bossom sweet girl

A little over two years later, I received a call from you, Abimbola. You shared your dream of becoming a licensed insurance advisor, and it was my absolute privilege to guide and mentor you through that journey. As we worked together, our friendship deepened, and our bond blossomed into something truly special.
When I think of you, what stands out the most is your profound calmness, your gentle spirit, and your beautiful simplicity. But beyond all that, Lord knows you were incredibly humble and eager to learn.
It was a profound honor to have known you in this lifetime, Abimbola. I will hold onto our cherished memories until we meet again at the feet of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Rest well, my dear friend. 🧡
Ambiola will be remembered for her gentle spirit, steadfast faith, and care for others. Through her kindness, listening ear, and quiet service, she touched many lives and made people feel valued and encouraged. During her time at RCCG EFA Leeds, including her cherished visit in November 2025, she remained a treasured member of the church family. She served faithfully, built meaningful relationships, and reflected Christ’s love in her interactions with family, friends, and all who knew her. Her life testified to God’s grace, and the impact of her faith continues to be felt. We thank God for the beautiful memories she leaves behind and for the many ways He used her life to bless those around her.
As we reflect on her life and celebrate her legacy, our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt love are especially with her beloved husband, Deacon Tobi, and their children. Dear Deacon Tobi, we cannot fully comprehend the depth of your loss, but we want you to know that you are not walking through this season alone. We pray that the Lord will surround you with His unfailing love, uphold you with His strength, and grant you grace for each day. To the children, we pray that God will hold you close, comfort your hearts, and remind you continually of the love your mother had for you. May the precious memories you shared together become a source of strength and comfort in the days ahead. We stand with you in prayer, trusting that the God of all comfort will carry you through every moment of sorrow and sustain you with His peace.
In moments such as these, we draw encouragement from God’s Word: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord… they will rest from their labour, for their deeds will follow them” (Revelation 14:13). This promise reminds us that our sister has entered Christ’s peace and that her faithful service is precious in God’s sight.
Anchored in this hope, we look forward to the day when all who trust in Jesus will be reunited in His kingdom. The promise of the resurrection assures us that death is not the end for those who belong to Christ. Until then, we give thanks for her life, cherish her legacy, and celebrate the enduring influence of her faith. Though she is no longer with us, her example continues to point others to the goodness and faithfulness of God. May the Lord comfort every grieving heart and fill us all with the assurance of His promises.
Rest well, dear sister, in the presence of your Saviour. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and your legacy a gift to us all. Until we meet again in glory, you will remain in our hearts and in our prayers.
With love and prayers,
Caroline EFA Leeds
Through her, I met so many people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise — she had a way of connecting people.
She was generous, beautiful, kind, supportive, and
I still remember the small things that make me smile — like her saying her favourite car then, was a Kia Picanto.
I will always be thankful and grateful that I met her.
Even though I am only 13 years old, I know how special she was. She was kind, caring, and always made people feel loved. Whenever I saw her, she would make me smile with her warm heart and the way she cared about everyone around her.
My auntie taught me important things through her actions, like being kind to others, helping people when they need it, and always staying strong during difficult times. I will always remember the good times we shared, the conversations we had, and the happy memories she gave me.
It is hard to accept that she is no longer with us, and I miss her very much. But I know that the love she gave us will never disappear. She will always live on in our hearts and in the memories we share.
Thank you, Auntie, for all the love, support, and happiness you brought into our lives. I will never forget you, and I will always be grateful to have had you as my auntie. May you rest in peace
She will be deeply missed, but she will never be forgotten. Thank you Auntie Bimbo
Good night Bimbo
Years passed, as they do and we met again in Leeds, she was exactly the same person I remembered. Still gentle. Still warm. Still Kind. Still Bimbo.
I pray for strength for the family and loved ones you left behind.
Rest well, Bimbo.
There are people who pass through our lives for only a season, and there are people who leave a mark that remains long after paths diverge, you were one of those people. We shared a closeness and friendship that meant so much to me, and the memories of that time have stayed with me throughout the years.
Life happened as it often does, but I wouldn’t have expected it this way so abruptly. I will remember you for your sweet & demure nature, your soft smile as though someone who is shy but never really.. :) , for the friendship we shared, and for the parts you played in my life. Though the years separated us, they never erased the gratitude I feel for having known you.
My thoughts are with your family, loved ones, and all who are mourning your loss.
Sleep well my darling. It is well. x
You came, you saw and conquered, though family, friends, admirers and acquaintance would wish differently, I wished differently we all wish for the same thing that the news of your demise will turn out a joke, ofcourse no one jokes with the news of someone passing, hence we all wish its a nightmare at best and we can wake up to the news that you are hale and hearty.
God only knows why, i guess it is end of watch for you beautiful, and all I can write or say is "Eternal rest grant unto her oh lord and let your perpetual light shine on her soul." Amen
But can we question God ? NO
You have a led a great life with impact with those close and not so close to you.
For the little moment we shared , we thank God for your life .
God be with you till we meet again .
RIP dear name sake …
31 October 1986 – 12 June 2026
It is with profound sadness that I write this tribute to my dear former colleague, Abimbola Akintokun, fondly known to me as "Segilola."
I had the privilege of working with Abimbola when she resumed at Skye Bank Head Office in the Domestic Operations Department, where she worked directly under my supervision. From those early days, her diligence, humility, intelligence, and cheerful disposition distinguished her. She carried out her duties with dedication and earned the respect and affection of all who encountered her.
The nickname "Segilola," which I lovingly gave her, became so much a part of her that even her mother, siblings and husband knew her by it. It remains a cherished reminder of the warm bond we shared as colleagues and friends.
Beyond the workplace, I was privileged to know her as a family person. In March 2023, my family and I visited Segilola and her family in Ottawa, where we experienced firsthand the warmth, love, and happiness that surrounded her home. Meeting her lovely family remains a treasured memory and deepens the sorrow of this painful loss.
The news of her passing at such a young age is heartbreaking. Though her journey was far too short, the impact she made on those around her will endure. She leaves behind precious memories, a loving family, and two young children who will forever carry her legacy.
Segilola, your kindness, gentle spirit, and beautiful smile will never be forgotten. May God grant your family the strength to bear this painful loss, and may your soul rest in perfect peace.
Farewell, Segilola. You came, you served, you loved, and you will always be remembered.

Our time together at EFA Leeds demonstrated your love for God and heart to serve Him.
I will always remember your kind , gentle and pleasant spirit.
You have ran your race and you have finished well .
Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that God be with your husband , children and your entire family.
May the Lord protect your children and the family you left behind.
May the Lord grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.... Rest in peace beautiful soul 🙏
My sincere prayer is that your soul finds eternal peace.
O dabo, O digba, O mase o. Sun re omo Alade aya Akintokun
4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words
Abimbola you were just too quiet to a fault those IGS day when we were in same class , up till our IGS reunion times ..
Its still a shock that you have gone to be with the lord which is more better according to the holy scriptures.
I pray that May the holy spirit comfort your husband ,kids and the family you left behind.
AMEN

We will come together to remember and pay tribute to the wonderful person. While we mourn the loss of our dear, we also aim to cherish the moments shared and the joy brought into our lives. Your presence would mean a great deal to us during this time of remembrance and reflection.
