Chief (Dr.) Benjamin Oluwadare Daramola

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, so that you also may be where I am - John 14:1-3

With deep sadness, we announce the passing of our father and patriarch of our clan, Chief Dr. Daramola Benjamin Oluwadare of Aisegba, who went to rest in the bosom of the Lord on 23rd June 2026.

A man of wisdom, integrity, and compassion, he lived a life of purpose that touched hearts within Aisegba and far beyond its borders.

Throughout his life, Dr. Benjamin built lasting connections and touched many lives through simple acts of care, encouragement, and friendship. As a distinguished son of Aisegba and a proud member of the Ekiti Parapo, having passed out in 1965, he embodied the values of service, dedication, and unwavering community spirit. Conversations, shared moments, and everyday gestures created memories that will remain with all who had the privilege of knowing him.
