May her Soul rest in Peace, AMEN🙏🏾✝️
late,
I was shocked when l saw the post through a retired colleague.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Accept my condolences.

Her Great philanthropic works and projects is a testament to her service to God and Humanity.
On behalf of The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, we pray that the God of all comfort, encourage every member of the family, especially the immediate family (husband and children).
The everlasting father will always stand by you as the ever present daddy to fill the vacuum left behind by our sister and wife.
It is our prayer that you all live to fulfil the number of your days on earth in good health and prosperity.
I bid you a final good bye and good night Kike, may God grant the repose of your soul. May God bless and keep the children and the family you left behind. Amen

Lover of Christ and humanity.
My gist mate, play mate and confidante since those humble beginnings, especially at Unilorin. Yes, we started the journey to the University together, from preparations for resumption right there in Kafanchan in August to the rigors of registration in December, 1984, she, the big sister getting in at 200 level and I, at 100 level. We were inseparable.
Kikelomo, the sweet, oft misunderstood, hardworking one who detested insolence and indolence.
You adopted my mum(Mummy Kafanchan) as yours, loving and caring for her as your biological mother.
I keep thinking, in my little human mind, that death would have tarried if mum was with you that night, if I had acquiesced to your request for our mother to visit you a week earlier. But God knows best.
And our last conversation about having my wife come over to see you in Lagos, all the way from Kaduna, for what you considered an important, urgent family discussion. Just because you cared so much, like no one else in the entire family did.
So many ifs, aunty Kike, so many things left unfinished.
May God Almighty comfort Uncle TJ, Jibola, Lolade, Tolulope and the rest of us.
Fare thee well sweet sister.
The news of your demise came to me as a shock, and its broke my heart..
We can not question God he knows the best.
I pray the lord will grant you eternal rest and comfort the family you left behind.In JESUS NAME.

Mrs Kikelomo Motunrayo Kareem was more than just a name; she was a beacon of faith, a pillar of strength, and a faithful secret servant of God.
Her life was a testament to the power of unwavering devotion and selfless service.
She was a woman who saw beyond the earthly realm and whose heart was filled with an unwavering belief in the divine. Her passion for spreading the word of God was infectious, inspiring all mankind to embrace faith and hope.
Late Mrs Kikelomo Kareem's legacy is etched in stone, quite literally.
She was the visionary and the benefactor behind the construction of The Redeemed Christian Church of God [RCCG] Jesus Terbanacle Mega Parish, Igbeti, Olorunsogo, LGA, Oyo State, a sacred space where countless souls have found solace, inspiration, and a deeper connection with their Creator.
Aside from the place of worship, she also built a maternity facility that provides care for women before, during, and after childbirth and newborn babies, just behind the church building.
Late Mrs Kikelomo's generous contribution built a physical structure and laid the foundation for a thriving spiritual and healthy community.
Beyond her material contributions, Mrs. Kikelomo Kareem has proven to be a silent labourer in God's vineyard, a disciple and an epitome of wisdom.
Her project in Igbeti has continued to touch the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.
As we celebrate a life well spent and pay our respect to the deceased, the Church also pray for God to continue to strengthen and give comfort to the bereaved family: Brigadier General Tirimisiyu Jejelola Kareem [Rtd.] - husband to the deceased, the children, grandchildren and loved ones.
The church also uses this medium to urge everyone to continue to spread the message of love, hope, and faith that the deceased has passionately championed.
Let us strive to be selfless servants of God, positively impacting the world.
Mrs Kikelomo Motunrayo Kareem, may your soul rest in eternal peace.





I can't believe will write such anytime soon about you.
I have known you for almost two decades and it's been a beautiful journey with you in our lives, especially mine your smile, encouragement, advice(and had a listening ears) and prayers.
You always supported me and gave me business insight and all.
We had plans together.
It's really sad you had to leave without a goodbye.
You were kind,caring,understanding,a disciplinarian and God fearing.
But seriously you will be greatly missed by me(cos she was my bigmommy and my mentor), my mom(your friend) and d kids which she fondly calls 'Benin Pikin'.
I remember few months ago, we all visited u in d house u weren't happy we came for a short visit and u said we should come and stay for few days.
The last time i came to d shop u were happy as usual to see me and called me "Vickkiii" in your tone.
I love you xoxoxo much momma'Granma Lekki'.
I thank God our paths met and won't forget all u thought me that prayer is the key and God never fails us if i put all hopes in him always and put him first in all i do and see his manifestation.
When I broke the news to the family, cos just heard yesterday late last night was devastated.
Pls our deepest condolences to you all.
God knows best.
May her beautiful gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Much love from the family🥰🤗

May her love and memories bring you comfort, and may you find peace in the legacy she leaves behind.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
Blessings always
Such a good Grandma
Rest in peace 🙏



me. Kike, you were always full of life, humble and respectful, jovial and truthful, even when you were wrong as a mortar, you always accepted and explained.
Who are we to query God, He loves you more than us. Yoruba adage says 'Igi tó tó, ko ki pe ninu igbo.
Sun re Kikelomo Alake Okin.
Sleep in the heart of your Lord.
That His warm embrace will be tangible in this moment for you and your family. That the peace of God washes over you and your loved ones as you grieve and celebrate the amazing life of your mum.
May you and your family find strength from the Lord in this season and know His comfort.
Much love, Toyin
It wasn't too long when we met your Mum.
She was as vibrant as ever and always made us cheer with her expressions whenever PD mentioned her on stage. Hearing about her passing has been very shattering- even though I remember Mummy being quite quiet at church, for some reason I have felt this particular departure. I know her loving memories will always be in your hearts so l pray that the love of those around you will help you through the days ahead.
Please know that I'm holding you in my thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace during this difficult time.
May her beautiful soul rest in perfect peace, and may God grant her eternal rest in paradise. I pray that God watches over and protects her children, guiding them with love and blessing their paths, and that He provides comfort and strength to her husband and to all of us who loved her dearly.Misturah, I know you are resting in peace now, in a place free from pain, and that brings me comfort. I promise to honor your memory by living fully and carrying forward the love and joy you gave us all. Until we meet again, dear sister, rest well. You will forever live on in our hearts."


I pray almighty God give the family the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss and ease the repose of her soul.
They say that memories are golden, Well maybe that is true, But we never wanted memories, We only wanted you,
Your life was love and labour.
I will miss you forever “mummy” like I fondly call you.
My last time with you, I will always remember your words of wisdom and encouragement ( I walked you right from the store to the car park, we chatted all the way through, I spent roughly 40mints with you chatting, I never knew that would be the last time with you. It breaks my heart I won’t ever get to see you again 😢😢.
Forever grateful for your support and kindness in my life.
Goodnight “mummy” till we meet again 🙏🏾
I was shocked to hear of the death of Madam Kikelomo. At this difficult time, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences and my thoughts are with you and all those who mourn her loss.
Kareem was not only a valued business partner, but also an exceptional personality whose commitment, wisdom and human warmth were always present in our work together. Her loss leaves a huge gap, both professionally and personally.
I hope that the memory of the many precious moments we were able to share together can provide comfort. May her family and all who knew her find the strength they need during this difficult time.
In silent memory,
Lukas from Wilhelm Scheffknecht "Williams"
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and the children during this difficult time. When the news was broken I was confused as to when, why and how ; but who are we to question the owner of our soul. I prayed God protects, guide and comfort you, your entire family and equally grant the departed soul of your wife eternal rest.
I'm missing her and I will forever miss her; but the memory, Joy and moments we shared together lingers on.
Good night!, Good night!! and Good night!!! KIKELOMO.
( SUN RE OOOOO AYA JEJELOLA )

You lived such a beautiful life, a life that touched everyone around you, from the young to the old. You were a true blessing, a light that lifted spirits and brought comfort. I will miss our endless conversations, your laughter, and the warmth you brought into my world.
My dear Peacock, my heart aches, but I am grateful for the time we had. I pray that your gentle soul finds eternal peace and that God grants you a place among the blessed. May He continue to watch over your family, and may we all carry a piece of your light within us, never letting it fade.
Rest well, my dear friend, my sister. You will forever be missed and forever loved.

I received the sad news of the passing to eternity of your loving wife. I am saddened that Mummy would leave at unriped age and at the time that you needed her companionship most. We cannot question God as death is inevitable to all mortals. The only consolation is that Mummy lived a noble life in the service of God and humanity. Take heart, sir, and remain strong for the rest of the family. May God in his infinite mercies grant the departed a peaceful rest in the Lord. May God console you and your family.
Mummy, thank you for the love you showed us, for always picking us up from school our Pry school days, and for welcoming me into your family as one of your own. I am forever grateful for the friendship and brotherhood you encouraged between myself, Ajibola, Lolade, and Toluwalope. We will miss you dearly.
May Almighty God forgive all your shortcomings and grant you eternal peace. Rest well, Mummy.
From your other son from Apapa, Shittu
Jesus Is LORD.
May your gentle soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.
May Allah comfort your husband, children, and other relations you prematurely left behind and give them the fortitude to bear the pain of your sudden departure.
Adieu, Mrs Kareem.
