Elder Efunike Idowu Oludokun-Olulana

Mummy Olulana was very close to the enlarged OYELOLA FAMILY since our early years together at the C & S Church (Movement), AYO NI O, Surulere. She was then one of the Women’s Church Leaders and she served her roles wonderfully.
At that time also, she was a lecturer at the LUTH, School of Nursing, Idi- Araba where she impacted her students and the Church.
Much later and by cheer coincidence, we became fellow worshippers at the RCCG Maranatha Chapel (as it was then known) when we moved to Ifako Gbagada. Ever since the bond between our two families grew stronger and stronger.
We will miss mama dearly.
Our consolation is that mama served the Lord with all her heart.
May the good Lord repose her soul and comfort Tunde & his siblings in Jesus name.
ADIEU MAMA OLULANA.
ELDER OLUSEGUN & ELDER (MRS) TAIWO OYELOLA

Sweet Mummy. Your smile is always captivating. You fought a good fight. You won. Victory is yours. You lived an exemplary live. I will miss you Mummy. Rest in the Lord.

Mama Olulana has finally gone to rest with the Lord! Many of us members of Elders Fellowship of RCCG Maranatha Church, Gbagada met her as a very active Worker in the Church despite her advanced age. She was in the group that welcomed First Timers to the Church every Sunday. She took a leading role. (On a personal note, she was the one who welcomed me to Maranatha Church in the year 2004).
She was always attending the Workers meetings on Sundays even till she was 80! I remember a Sunday morning that she came late for Workers meeting in her 70s, she was punished by standing at the back of the Church Hall along with other late comers. I personally went to take her to her seat. She was so humble that she never complained.
At her 70th birthday, her children and many other friends and elders followed her to Church for the Thanksgiving Service. The Pastors leading the Service did not accord her special recognition on the occasion but I never heard her complaining.
Among the Elders Fellowship, she attended the activities regularly playing her role as a senior elder. She always followed us regularly to the yearly National Elders Congress. Members would remember her sending her luggage ahead of her to the Church even if she was coming late.
She was very humble. She never boasted of being highly educated, only a few of us knew she was a University graduate in her professional field.
When she had health challenge in her 70s, she kept this to herself. I personally encouraged her to make an appeal to the Pastorate for financial assistance when she was undergoing medical treatment for many years. Thank God, she went through the medical treatment successfully.
We members of Maranatha Elders Fellowship have really missed her especially over the last few years when she had to go and stay with her children because of advancing age. We can boldly say that you lived a practical Christian life and you were a good example to most of us.
Adieu Mama. Have a joyful rest in the bossom of your maker. Your legacy shall endure and generations after shall call you blessed.

Past Chairman of Maranatha Elders Fellowship.

A Tribute to Mrs Olulana

It was a true privilege to know Elder Efunike Oludokun-Olulana, as a mentor, a devoted lecturer, and a shining example of what it means to be a nurse. She was the very embodiment of diligence and compassion, a nightingale nurse to the core. Her eloquence, radiant smile, and unwavering faith in the Lord were qualities I deeply admired.

During our time in the School of Nursing, she nurtured us with wisdom, kindness, and care that left a lasting impression on our hearts and minds. Her belief in us and her dedication to our growth will never be forgotten.

Thank you, Ma, for your love, your guidance, and your faith. You touched our lives in profound ways, and we remain forever grateful.

Rest peacefully in the Lord’s embrace, Ma.
My heartfelt condolences to your children and family.
Adieu, beloved mentor.

Mama Fálànà, now Olulana, ,was my senior colleague at SON ,LUTH in the early eigthies.
A pleasant great role model, straight forward educator.Mama was like a mother figure to all of us who joined the teaching staff in those years, kind hearted and full of compassion for students and her colleagues.
May Angels accompany you as you go back to your eternal home.Rest on ma till resurrection day.Good night our elegant trainer.Mrs V. O.Olaoke .J.P.

Hmmmm.
Grandma Olulana as we do call. What attracted me to you when I met you at Maranatha was your beautiful smile. Then you gave out your house for a house fellowship centre indeed it's a place to fellowship the love you showered on us spread through the children and we took ourselves as a true family of God just like thehouse fellowship anthem.

You are such a good soul to reckon with, you are so accommodating, generous, peaceful, most of all you are so passionate in the things of God, am sure the Elder's forum in Maranatha will surely miss you.I thank God that you know Christ in your life time. Grandma the legacy you left will continue and your memory will forever remain in our hearts. May we find solace in Christ till we meet in Paradise.

Mommy,
Your love, warmth, and the genuineness of your faith was unmistakable! You embraced everyone that you interacted with, with grace and kindness.

You were an immense blessing, support and covering for Seun and I at a pivotal time in our lives, in an unforgettable way. This is a testament of your love, the beauty of your character, strength and wisdom.

We are so thankful for your life and know that you are resting in the bosom of our savior Jesus Christ and cheering us on. Farewell for now from this side of eternity till we are all reunited forever in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

ANOTHER NIGHTINGALE GOES HOME
You were not in LUTH when I was training but when I came back from England & started working in the School of Nursing I met you ..There was an aura around you that showed positive difference from others apart from your natural eversmiling face .
I say 'natural ' as it never carry any pretence
Secondly the the way you carry yourself (steps) .I have decided to use present Tense as the qualities were there till the end..
One day you asked me the secondary school I attended I told you you got up from your seat came & coddled me & nodded that you thought so . It still didn't click until you asked for the year & said when you finished
Immediately I started calling sister as that was the norm
I had to remember protocol has to be followed at meetings in the School for many years
You were straightforward strict but loving genuine & accountable quiet & respectful
You replicated yourself as your children showed quite a lot of your characters on their young ages
I praise God for His faithfulness in your life 🙏 Adeu sister Nike continue resting in blossom of your Creator till Resurrection Morning

Mama Falana now Mama Olulana, my great Tutor and a mother figure in SON LUTH. She was so nice and a mentor to her students. A Great Uite. She will be forever remembered for her good deeds. Nursing Profession has lost one of her great Educator. Eternal rest grant unto her O'Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace. Amen 🙏. Adieu Mama oni nu re.

Mama,you will be greatly missed. Continue to rest in the blossom of the Lord. We love you but God love you more

She was a nice and warm person, a true child of God. Who radiated kindness.

TRIBUTE TO MUMMY NIKE OLULANA
I met "Ye Mi" as I fondly called her many years ago at the RCCG Maranatha Church. The first attraction was that we both were in the Nursing profession. We became close and I saw that God had brought me in contact with a great woman of God, loving mother, prayer warrior, teacher of the word, mentor, and counselor.
Mama was a super nurse. She was in the first set of BSc. Nursing graduate program having been admitted to the University of Ibadan in 1965...Great U. I. Great. She thereafter worked as a Nurse Tutor at LUTH. I would have been one of her students if I had done my nursing training at LUTH.
"Ye Mi" You were deeply committed to your Christian faith, your profession your family and your love for all who came across you. You demonstrated the rare ability to showcase your strength by overlooking the fault of others.
You took me as a friend and family member. Not minding the age and professional difference between us "Ye Mi" would always call me to find out how my family and I were faring.... That is the woman you were... caring and loving.
We shared a lot of experiences (the good and the not so good) and hilarious moments. Your house was a place of comfort for me and others.
Good night "Ye Mi" You have fought the good fight, you have kept the faith. You built a legacy of integrity, humility, service to God and to humanity. We pray that those of us who had the honor and privilege
to be acquainted with you will be able to carry on with these legacies.
You didn't just pass through this world, to the best of your ability, you touched it, you blessed it, you lived it, you changed it.
Fare thee well sweet "Ye Mi", Heaven has indeed gained a great soul, a super woman and a loving mother. My gist partner, you will sorely be missed.
Adieu! Adieu!! Adieu!!! Ye Mi. Rest on in the
bosom of Jesus🙏🙏🙏

My dear cheerful mummy Olulana🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
You were an epitome of strength and courage, a true lover of God. You were indeed a good, kind, loving mother. You were a giver to a fault! Mummy Olulana you will truly be missed most especially at the Sunshine fellowship in which you were our host. Thank you for letting God use you yo give us space in your apartment. You're such an inspiration to us and we are proud to have gotten a sweet loving soul among us. You are no more today but you'll forever be missed and remembered in all ways. Rest in Power mummy Olulana till we meet to part no more🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

You were a true anchor mommy. Dependable, committed and loving. You held all children that came your way as if they were yours.
You stood with us in the very low moments of life and encouraged on with the word of God.
The sting of your death leaves a vacuum. We miss you here but we are rest assured you are with angels in a far better body where pain and sorrow have no place.
Adieu mom, till we meet again at the feet of Jesus

Some people leave a mark so deep that even time can not erase,
You were one of them. You didn’t just raise a daughter; you gave me a sister. Your kindness, prayers, and unwavering love wrapped around me like a warm embrace.

EMELDA UMOH

Mummy Olulana was everything to me. She was my friend, gist partner, confidant, prayer champion and a true mother.
She never gets tired of me. A lover of children, a true believer of Christ, she loved attending church programs, even in her old age, she doesn't like missing Holy Ghost service at the Redemption City.
Grandma's house is always open for Counseling, prayers, sharing the word of God and learning from her wealth of wisdom.
Mama's love for the children is extremely high. She was a cheerful giver even if you tell her no, she will still give.
She volunteered a space for house fellowship in her compound for over 20 years now.
Grandma lived a fulfilled, Godly, humbled and a good life worth of emulation. Her legacy lived on.
Missing her is constant, but we take a solace in God that we will meet at the Resurrection morning that we part no more.
We love you so much, but God loves you more.
Rest on Great Icon...
