She passed away peacefully at 3.30pm on September 6, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, wisdom and strength that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
Early Life and Education
On August 1, 1956, in Jos, Plateau State, North Central Nigeria, Modupe Comfort Ibidunni Hanson (née Kehinde) was born into the esteemed family of Pa Ayo Kehinde from Oyo State and Mrs. Sarah Kehinde from Ughoton, Delta State. Her birth brought joy and gratitude to the Kehinde family.
Modupe was raised in a loving family and received her primary and secondary education in Jos, attending St Luke’s Primary and Gindri Girls High School respectively. After completing her secondary education in 1974, she worked as a postal officer with NITEL in Jos for two years. She later pursued teachers training at the Advanced Teachers College, Zaria, a prominent institution in teacher education, where she obtained the Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) in 1980, beginning her journey as an educator.
In her continuous pursuit of academic growth, Modupe gained admission to Lagos State University and earned a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree in Social Studies in 2000. In 2006, she furthered her education by obtaining a Master's Degree in Educational Administration from the University of Lagos.

Between 1980 and 1981, Modupe completed her compulsory National Youth Service in Kano, where she met her future husband, Morakinyo Hanson. She joined the Lagos State Post-Primary Teaching Service Commission (PP-TESCOM) in 1983, serving as a subject and class teacher in various schools.
From 1997 to 2005, Modupe worked at the PP-TESCOM Headquarters, where she held positions in the Disciplinary Department and later as Head of the Department of Recruitment and Appeal. During this period, she played a significant role in maintaining order and structure within the post-primary teaching system in Lagos State.

Modupe also embraced her children's spouses, Oluwasegun and Morenikeji, as her own and was a doting grandmother to three grandchildren: Iremide, Ilerioluwa, and Tamilore.
Modupe was deeply devoted to her family, always present in their lives and actively involved in caring for her grandchildren. She shared a special bond with them, earning the affectionate titles of "Chief Massager" and "Chief Sorter" for her ability to solve any problem they brought to her.
Her love extended beyond her immediate family. She cherished her in-laws, particularly her late mother-in-law, Mrs. Dolapo Hanson, who adored her in return.

Yeye Modupe Hanson (a.k.a Iya Ike) was my sister in Christ, a dependable friend and a mentor. A God fearing woman and lovely mother to all the children both biological and spiritual. She was generous to a fault, therefore touched many lives. The news of her death came as a nude shock for me but was consoled that her good deeds will stand in positive stead before the Almighty God. We love her but her creator loves her more so He called her home. Her death has created a void in our hearts which no one can easily filled. My heartfelt condolences to the entire families of Hanson and Kehinde on this irreparable loss .May her soul find eternal peaceful rest, Amen. Sun re o Omoluabi.From olori Okubanjochristianah Abiodun

A Tribute to our mama
It is with heavy hearts that we reflect on the remarkable life of our sister in law, a woman whose strength and selflessness touched every corner of our family. She was not only a sister-in-law but also a pillar of support, a guiding light, and the family coordinator who held us all together.
In moments of uncertainty or challenge, she was the first to rise and take responsibility, never hesitating to step in when needed. Her unwavering sense of duty and compassion made her the glue that bound our family. Whether it was planning family gatherings, helping solve conflicts, or simply checking in to make sure everyone was okay, she always put others before herself.
Her ability to lead with love and grace left a lasting impact on us all. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and cared for, reminding us what it meant to be part of something bigger than ourselves—a family. Her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched, and her memory will continue to inspire us to be better, kinder, and more united.
Though words may never fully capture the depth of our loss, we find comfort in knowing that she leaves behind a legacy of love, responsibility, and togetherness that will continue to guide us.
Rest in peace, our dear Mummy. Your light will forever shine in our hearts.

A Tribute to a Loving Aunt
Today, we gather to honour and remember a remarkable woman my loving aunty Iya Ike Dupsy babe, Modupe Ibidunni Comfort Hanson. She was more than just an aunt; she was a guiding light, a source of wisdom, and a true friend. A mother, aunty I never had.
Aunty, you always knew how to make everyone feel special, whether it was through your warm welcoming, hugs, kind words, wisdom or the time you took to truly listen. You were there for every celebration even if it’s not convenient you always create that time to, every struggle, and every quiet moment in between. You taught me the value of family, resilience, and unconditional love, friends most especially your wisdom towards things, I remembered Few years ago, long time relationship would have gone sour, I wouldn't have forgiven myself if you did not use wisdom and thing go completely sour, as I was pushing back, you were drawing me closer, I always remember your word's "Tayo se o ni bami soro niii, abi ori e fo nii, you can't be an island". Today, I look back, and I am saying thank you, Lord, for the wisdom in you. If not, what will I be saying today if you had allowed me to draw back. You gave me the gift of your time, your wisdom, and your unconditional love, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
I never knew you were talking in parables, "Se ti n ba ku, are you not going to be there for my children" I always say to you, aunty you will not die, and you will not lose any of us. You have left this sinful world, I have learnt a lot from you aunt, you have a good and large heart, you don’t keep malice, you don’t quarrel, you were with wisdom, and I am I indeed happy that I met you.
Today, I remember you, not just as a friend, but as family. From the moment you met me, you welcomed me with open arms, and over time, you became a constant source of support, love, and guidance. You made me feel valued and cherished in ways words cannot fully express, you treated me like a queen among your friends’, colleagues, families everyone around you.
I remembered the first day I met you, you welcomed me with open hands to your home, I see you as mother I lost when I was young, you stood the position of a mother for me, you were there for me through thin and thick. My gist partner, we talked every day, tell each other confidential things, you showed me love, your kindness, openness, and willingness to welcome me into your life with open arms make me feel truly cherished. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone like you, who embraces me so warmly and accepts me as I am.
Thank you for being a source of light and for showing me what genuine love and acceptance looks like. I’m so grateful for you and for everything you bring into my life. You will surely be missed.
You had a way of making life beautiful, and your spirit will continue to inspire me every day. Though you are no longer with us in person, your legacy lives on in the countless lives you touched. You will always hold a special place in my heart and of my son.
You saw the best in everyone, who encouraged me to dream big, you stood by me through every joy and trial. The way you lived your life with grace, compassion, and unwavering courage was an inspiration to me.
It’s hard to imagine life without you. But I take comfort in knowing that your beautiful spirit and the lessons you shared will always be a part of me. Thank you for the love you gave so freely and for being a shining example of what it means to live a life full of purpose, enjoyment, wisdom, grace, peace and joy.
You showed me what true kindness and generosity look like. You were always there during the highs and lows, sharing in my happiness and comforting me in times of need. The love and acceptance you gave so freely made me feel like I truly belonged.
Though you are no longer here with us, your spirit and the impact you made on my life will remain forever. I am deeply grateful for the time we shared, the memories we created, and the way you made my world brighter just by being in it.
Rest peacefully, knowing that you will always be family to me. I will carry your love and the lessons you taught me in my heart for the rest of my life.
We will miss you more than words can express. Rest peacefully, my darling Iya Ike Dupsy Babe.

A tribute to my sister.
It is said " to lose a sibiling is to lose a piece of childhood that can never be found yet their spirit guides us like an unseen star"
Auntie Dupsy as we fondly called her was so compassionate, selfless, and loving, and most of all, family always came first for her.
She organized almost every ones wedding in the entire Kehinde family she was the mother of the clan.
When I did my NYSC in Lagos, she and her husband (otunba Hanson) welcomed me to their home. They guided me and helped me stand on my feet. I lived in their home till i got married.
One attribute about auntie Dupsy is that she was always concerned about everyone. She will always say shay o ti jowun shay o wa ok.
She had a heart for the things of the kingdom, she gave of her time resources and energy. She will always say it is of the mercies of God.
One significant quality my sister had which she got from our late father, was that she was a giver. You can't come to auntie Dupsy house and leave empty handed.
Auntie Dupsy’s passing has not been easy to come to terms with but who are we to question God . She fought a good fight, and has kept the faith now she is with her maker for this I am comforted.

A Tribute to my Big Mummy
Mummy, as I fondly called you and that was exactly what you were to me.My heart is filled with gratitude for the precious moments we shared. In you I saw the beauty of family how you welcomed everyone in love, you had a unique way of showing love to others. You were so hospitable ,caring and you showed kindness, support and love in the simplest gestures and the best way you could.
I remember how we exercised together, did makeup together, watched tv shows together and cooked together. One of those days when we were preparing a meal, I assisted you in opening a can of tomato paste.I scooped out the paste and went on to trash the can. I remember how you looked at me in disbelief and you said…Tomiii as a woman you must not be wasteful,always add some water into the can and rinse it so nothing is wasted🤣 ever since I handled tomato paste the way you taught me to. You were indeed a very good teacher.
Mommy, you will be greatly missed. May your soul rest in everlasting peace🤍

Aunty Dupsy! As my mom would fondly call you. You were not just her big sister but her friend. If she wasn’t at home or in church, she most likely was hanging out with you (and Ikepo 😄).
My childhood memories would be incomplete without you. Thank you for always being there for us.
Now, that you’re gone, I cannot but feel a deep sense of loss. Reality has dawned that a generation is leaving us fast.
All in All, I choose to be joyful and remain grateful to God.
Thank you for the love and care.
Sleep well Mummy Ike.

Thank you for the love and care.
Sleep well Mummy Ike.
October 1, 2024
You lived an exemplary life dedicated to the entire family and to humanity.Death is a necessary end for every mortal but one thing we are certain is that you didn't die before your time.God had prepared you for his kingdom and our prayers is that we shall see you there.Rest in peace ma.

Dear Mummy 'Ke ,
Your memory will forever remain dear to me.
I remember when you and mummy would go shop for our festive outfits, the family plans to take us out to restaurants and beaches during the holidays, your talk and reassurances that I'll be fine when I was leaving for secondary school to far away Jos, and lots more!
Your frequent visits to the house earned you fame on the street of Ikeja. You took us (my siblings and I) as yours right from the very beginning and cared for and about us till the very end! You will surely be missed.
Your legacy remains with us forever.
Sleep on mummy, till we meet again at Jesus' feet.

A Tribute to Yeye Modupe Hanson.
Yeye Modupe Comfort Ibidunni Hanson, a cherished member of the HOS-PS Wives of COWLSO and the devoted wife of Permanent Secretary, Otunba Akin Hanson, was a woman of remarkable humility, warmth, and dedication. As a valued sister and active member of COWLSO, she consistently participated in all assignments with enthusiasm and grace. Her loyalty and commitment were unwavering.
An exceptional educationist, she was truly an expert in her field. Her absence will be deeply felt in the Permanent Secretaries' Wives Forum, where her presence brought light and unity.
We extend our heartfelt prayers to her family and friends, asking God Almighty to grant us all the strength to bear this profound loss.
We love you, dear sister, but God loves you more.

Yeye Modupe Hanson (a.k.a Iya Ike) was my sister in Christ, a dependable friend and a mentor. A God fearing woman and lovely mother to all the children both biological and spiritual. She was generous to a fault, therefore touched many lives. The news of her death came as a nude shock for me but was consoled that her good deeds will stand in positive stead before the Almighty God. We love her but her creator loves her more so He called her home. Her death has created a void in our hearts which no one can easily filled. My heartfelt condolences to the entire families of Hanson and Kehinde on this irreparable loss .May her soul find eternal peaceful rest, Amen. Sun re o Omoluabi.From olori Okubanjochristianah Abiodun

Where do I even begin to express my gratitude for the incredible love, care, and guidance you provided throughout my life? Your selflessness, kindness, and generosity inspired me to be a better person.
Your unwavering optimism and resilience inspired me to face life's challenges. Your kindness and compassion towards others taught me empathy and understanding. Your strong values and principles guided me on my life 's path.
Your legacy lives on through the countless lives you touched with your love and kindness, the traditions and values you passed down to our family, and the memories we shared.
I can't believe you are gone and gone forever because I still feel your presence.
"In heaven, there's a special place for people like you, where love and kindness flow forever.
Rest in peace Grandma

Mummy (as we fondly called her). Was very welcoming, caring and warm.
She loved all Ikepo's friend like we were her biological children. Mummy related well with all irrespective of your age. I remember my last conversation with her was in October 2023 and all her word keeps re-echoing in my head.
She will be remembered for her loving heart which accepted everyone.
May her gentle soul rest in peace

Sometimes, death leaves us with question we may never find answers to.
Ore mi, Studio Manager (as I fondly call you), we worked together at PP TESCOM Disciplinary section and I will never forget the moments we shared together.
You were the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person I have ever met. You were brave, funny and always there for anyone who needed it. There is not enough paper in the world to even begin to write a tribute for you, but no one deserves it more.
Time may dull the pain but I will never forget Modupe Comfort Ibidun Hanson nee Kehinde.

Hmmm, Gone too soon, such a lovely soul, the last time I saw you was August 2016 with my Children's and looking forward to another one which never happened. It's not how long we live that matters but the positive difference that we make to the lives we touch. Mummy touched many lives positively and made a difference to humanity. Your memories will live long in our hearts, my Niece heard about your demise and she was shocked,and she quickly sent me this pic,it's a minus on our part,but Heaven has gained. It's a great lost,but we can't question Lord. Keep resting mum till we meet to part no more

Going through your post, it is quite evident that MAMA ( I will call her aunty, because I.am 60 year old).
Aunty lived a good, and admirable life. She spent a good life that anyone would wish to live. I am so.happy for the family because happiness radiates on the.memories from the children that compiled all these.
I never met her, but I know from the testimonies and.pictures that she.lived a good life which gives me the comfort to pray for her good reception at.home by the.grace of all mighty creator. May God accept her home coming with grace, May.HE forgive her shortcomings and grant her paradise. Amen
May HE grant the family she left behind the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Amen!

Mrs Dupe Hanson, mummy Ikepo as she is fondly called, was a kind and perfect wife. She was a mother, grandmother; painstakingly caring and loving. She was a sacrificial giver, indeed very generous.
Undoubtedly, her exit has created a great vacuum in the Hanson family, extended family and the generality of friends at home and in the diaspora.
Adieu Dupe! .We love you, but God loves you more,

Stay not in grief that she is no more but say in thankfulness that she was.
Death is not the extinguishing of light but the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come and so we celebrate the life of my friend. Thanks for your wisdom, thanks for your kindness and most of all thank you for your love, you loved me wholeheartedly as your sister and for that I will be eternally grateful,you are resting in the comfort of our Lord and Saviour and with that I am given some peace.
Farewell for now Iya Ike.

It is unbelievable and feels like a dream that i am writing a "Final" Tribute for my sweet sister and friend ..
I fondly called her "Iya Ike", and she would joyfully respond by saying " S Ooooo" . l choose to describe this tribute as "final" because her Clock suddenly stopped and so , i will no longer be able to discover more of her innate attributes and character which had consistently unfolded for me at different moments in my life , and at different incidents in our relationship. Different moments presented new and amazing qualities about her , so many that a written tribute like this , with limited space and time cannot accomplish as i desire. However , i shall endeavour to present the beauty of the Soul and Character of "Iya Ike " with the underlisted WORDS :-
LOVING
She loved and feared God , and she transferred this love to family , friends and associates . She loved to see people happy , and would therefore go an extra mile to put a smile on your face , even when it was not so convenient for her. I will therefore describe her as the Epitome of God's Love .
TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE :-
Her Word was her bond .Whatever she would not do , she would not promise.
COMMITTED
A True friend indeed .She would defend your interest even in your absence. She would not join others to condemn you , but , without making you so unhappy , she would employ ways to correct your mistakes.
A GIVER
"Iya Ike " was a GIVER. This attribute stemmed from her ability to love. A true lover gives and her giving was not limited to financial benefits .She freely gave her Time , Prayers , Wisdom , Advice , and Encouragement whenever needed.
A CURIOUS HEART
She was always seeking after knowledge .She would not hesitate to ask questions as often as possible to get clarity , and boost her knowledge and understanding about tasks and issues ..Likewise, she was always eager to share knowledge with others .
SOCIABLE
"Iya Ike" loved fashion and appreciated elegant but decent dressing. We often engaged in fashion gists and we gave compliments to one another and friends for good dressing. We attended parties together and enjoyed each other's company. We shared same ideologies about life and family values . She loved her family so dearly and was always seeking after their wellbeing and progress. It was therefore not surprising that we were both members of the GIRLS ASSOCIATION , a reputable gathering of Prayerfúl Women.
At meetings of the Association , she would always appreciate God's love and mercies over her by preceeding her Testimonies with this Song " O se mi laanu , ma polongo re , Oba to se mi laanu , ma polongo re " .
I could go on and on to describe who she was , but the truth is , i cannot exhaust her Virtues.
The News of her transition to Glory created a pain in my heart , especially because i had thought and prayed that i would travel and come back to meet her.I had promised her at my last visit to her at the hospital that i would be back to join in the Thanksgiving Ceremony for her healing and complete Victory over sickness. This did not happen.
Truly , God knows Best . "Iya Ike" i commit your beautiful Soul to God , while i hold on to your sweet Memories.
Rest In Peace my darling Sister.

I HAVE LOST A GEM!
What a loss, Lady Modupe Comfort Ibidun HANSON,has truly gone to be with her maker!
My own very dear sister-wife,bosom friend,my number one gist partner,my Pressy, beautiful,,inside out,generous to a fault,down to earth!
If I asked her not to "soro soke ju:,she retorted with,"iya Bimbo
sebi o mo pe Hausa ni mi"whatever,it was the whole saga was put behind her!
who would have thought you would leave this soon!
Hmmm,God's ways are indeed,not our ways.
We thank our unquestionable God ,ALAPADUPE,
who gives and takes at will!
The soul mate, friend companion, and the WIFE of youth of my dear (COUSIN-IN-LAW,AND BROTHER FROM THE SOURCE SIR(OTUNBA) has taken the final bow!
We were married to two very close first cousins,same year and a month apart!(42 yrs of unbroken friendship)
Otunba,your solace,is that God loves her most!
MC,you have run the full course of your earthly race,you have fought the good fight,with all that you had,and you are now with the saints triumphant!
Yes,yet,we are pained,that we shan't ever see you again,on this side of the divide!
Otunba,Onikepo,Jnr,and Femi,you did EVERYTHING you could,yet we have lost her!
Our loss,however,is Heaven's gain of yet another wonderful soul,and that,indeed, is the irony of life!
May the good Lord abide with the family left behind,and comfort us ,all🙏🏽
My dearly beloved MC,sleep on,in the bosom of your maker,until the resurrection, when we shall meet to part no more

Special Tribute to Sisi Dupe….
What shall I render to you my Lord, I will sing praises to your name and shout Halleluyah. We thank God for the gift of Sisi Dupe to the Kehinde and Hanson families and all that has crossed her path through her sojourn on earth. This is difficult for me to write but I know my redeemer liveth.
Sisi Dupe a true friend, my wife, my sister, from another mother. Dependable, reliable, loyal, selfless, caring, honest, full of wisdom, down to earth, and my confidant. Decisions were never taken without due consultation with each other. And to the glory of God all those decisions always yield positive results and are bearing good fruits for us.
Sisi Dupe is a decent polished, well baked and stylish lady with finesse. Always spick, span, diamond and dynamite dressed.
Sisi Dupe is a dedicated wife and mother with a heart of Gold. Good natured and tolerant. She is an embodiment of humility with an objective and unassuming personality. She is generous to a fault. Always a piilar of support to all and sundry. A prayer warrior and a committed Christian. Always ready to serve in the Lord’s vineyard which she did till her last days on earth. You were an Anglican by birth but became a Methodist where you gave Brother Akin all necessary support and made positive impact. Iyawo Atata. I can go on and on.
Sisi Dupe I will miss your voice “Sisi Ronkus” “A ronkus baby” “Ore mi eni owo” “Ore mi onijo”.
I commiserate with the Kehinde and Hanson family especially Brother Akin and the Children. The almighty shall comfort all of us and wipe away our tears. Brother Akin we thank God for his faithfulness on your marital journey with sis Dupe. From the days of humble beginnings to the higher-level God took you. All the joys shall be permanent in Jesus name.
All of us are born of women and so we are of shorter days. No relationship last forever except the one we have with our almighty father in heaven. Therefore my 42 years of an enviable and enjoyed relationship with you has come to an end till we meet on the resurrection day where we part no more. What gave me much pain was my inability to tightly hold your hands as you journey to join the church triumphant because I am very sure you would have done the same for me. You have fought a good fight, ran a good race. You are already with your crown.
On behalf of myself, children, and grand-children, I say thank you for all you have done.
According to one of your favorite songs “Igbagbo mi duro lori eje ati ododo jesu” on that I stand.
Modupe aya onikoyi eso, aya won ni ijora Apassa, omo won ni Oyo Alaafin, o se o. Continue resting in the bossom of Christ who love you most. O daro o..

My lovely grandma,
As sadness flows through me as I write this tribute, I still can't believe you are gone. You were loving, humble, compassionate, hardworking, independent, and so brave you were also my best friend. You were one of the most beautiful souls anyone could ever meet, and I am grateful to have had you as my grandma.
You were known by so many names:
"Our lesson teacher." Every day after school, we would do our homework for hours, and if I didn’t understand something, you'd say, "Ire ori e beske, oya she dada!"
"The Champion." We would gather for game nights, and Grandma always dominated at Ludo, except when Dad was around. The playful arguments between you two were some of my favorite moments.
Ire's special doctor:
If I was sick I would always prefer to stay at yours
Even though your agbojedijedi was very bitter it still made me feel better and your hot water baths were the best
The Massager:
In entire life I had never seen anyone that could Massage my body the way you could,
You would use :Rob,Hot pepper Aboniki ,icy hot balm
and my fave Ori/shea butter
You never missed any of my birthdays; next year will be the first. I know I will miss you dearly.
Rest In Peace Granny
With all my love, Iremide Saka

Mummy, I really don't know how to put words together because it still feels like a surprise but God knows best.
You were a very strong, dedicated, loving and caring mother and would always ask "se o wa ok", "se o need nkankan". You will be greatly missed and will always cherish memories of you.
May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest.

My Dear Lady Hanson,
So cool, calm, collected, elegant power-dresser and beautiful inside/outside. We just cannot question God. Through it all, God is good.
Knowing Mrs. Hanson as a big sister, a friend, a senior colleague, and a staunch Methodist was a great pleasure. She impacted lives with her gentle mien.
May her gentle soul continue to rest in peace as the Lord comforts her entire family and friends.

It's so difficult not to question God regarding your demise but the very impactful life you lived shuts the thought of any question. Mummy (as I always call you), you touched my life and so many other people.
You welcomed me into your home when I got admission into the University of Lagos and treated me as one of your children throughout my stay. I remember the turkey stew you prepared for me every Sunday throughout my Year 1 just to make me feel comfortable...most of my colleagues in school looked forward to the stew every Sunday. I never felt like I was away from home.
You will call during the week to check how I was fairing in school and was always cheerful to give. You gave again and again. You were very passionate about the wellbeing of others. I am a living witness to so many people you impacted and you were never tired.
We prayed and prayed and hoped this was just a phase but God had a different plan. In all, you have gone to rest. You have fought a good fight and finished your race.
You will continue to live in our hearts. You were a lover of God and your life reflected Christ. Thank you for all you did. We love you.

To my second mother, my "Mother-in-Love," my dear Iya Ike, lovingly called Adupsy Baby—my mama, my padi for life.
I will never forget the first day I came to your home in GRA, Ikeja. You welcomed me with open arms and a full heart. You would call to check up on me, asking, “Sege, how far? Have you eaten?” You would even ask what you could cook for me the next time I visited. Before I married Ikybabes, I could call you anytime and you were always there for me. Thank you for embracing me so fully.
Even in your final days, you never stopped showing love and care. You would ask Ike to call me just to say, “Sege, I haven’t seen you in two days, I miss you. You people have fashied me.”
Iya Ike, you were loving, humble, compassionate, hardworking, independent and so brave. You were one of the most beautiful souls anyone could ever meet, and I am grateful to have had you as my "mum-in-love." You never saw me as just a son-in-law.
Your grandchildren adore you, and they will deeply miss their Grandma Magodo. I cannot imagine how we will fill the emptiness you've left, but I trust the Holy Spirit to strengthen us.
I promise to keep loving and cherishing Ikybabes and your grandchildren, just as you would want. We will stay close to Grandpa and take care of each other.
Rest in peace, Mama. You will forever be missed, but your love remains in our hearts. 🙏
Your Padi of Life

Thank you for being a second mom to me growing up. You opened up your home and were always so warm and welcoming. I spent a lot of time in your home with your family, and it was a place that I have a lot of great memories. I am grateful for your kindness, and compassion. The world has lost a great soul, but I am grateful for the time we got together.

Your legacies live on through the countless lives you have touched. Never will i forget your effort to mediate in a phantom difference between me and my boss (your husband) instigated by a selfish woman in the Office.
And then, the last lesson: "Daddy Kike, there is time for everything, you paused and took some time and then said again - everything in life has its time hhmmm". Obviously, the only thing you did not add was, it's time to go

Sometimes words might be inadequate to fully express feelings and this sure is just one of such occasions . Yeye Modupe Hanson was a rare gem, a gentle, caring and most loving person As a sister in law, Mummy Ike was an exceptional person, loving and caring to a fault. I am sure going to miss her sonorous voice calling out "Uncle Dapo" whenever we come visiting. The Lord will keep the legacy you left behind and comfort your wonderful children and grandchildren alongside your loving husband and families you left behind. Mummy Ike, sleep on in the bosom of your Lord till we meet again at the resurrection morning!
IT IS WELL.
IT IS WELL.

"Aunty Dupe" (as we fondly called you)
To say you are gone is incomprehensible. When people bat the words "life is too short" around, this is the true meaning.
You were a mother to so many. You opened your doors to all of us passing through Lagos whether it was in transit or longer. I for one benefited from this generousity while staying with you through my NYSC. It was there I learnt to eat Ewa and gari and learnt to listen out for the early morning call for "buyee'-Agegeh 'bread". Staying with you allowed me form a good relationship with your family, which I cherish till today.
Family was indeed important to you and no matter the ups and downs we had, you always pointed me back to this. When I gave you a hard time expressing my argument, you would reprimand me in love. We reasoned together and we always made up.
We would joke at how you disciplined me well, well when I was younger but ended it with laughter and you saying "nkon shai eh"
You were our Iyah Eto.. organising family events big and small.Thank you for all you did.
You will be sorely missed. Rest well big sister. Till we meet again.
Your sister
(A- yinkolus as you fondly called me)

Before hearing about mummy's demise, around noon on the 6th of Sept. the only thought that suddenly crossed my mind was to remember when mummy laughed, her voice, and how she smiled while talking. I said a prayer for her, not knowing I was going to receive news about her transition to glory in a few hours. I guess that's God sending us a cue that we should remember her for the happy moments when she would smile, laugh, and spend quality time with family & friends.
Our dear Big mummy, we will miss you. You cared so much, checked on me through calls, and asked about my well-being. You lived well, mummy Aunty Ike. May God Almighty grant you a peaceful rest. 🤍
With love, Toyo-Toyo.

Tributes to a darling sister and wife Late Lady Modupe Comfort Hanson.
I came in contact with this darling being about forty two years ago when she got wedded to our dear brother and society member Sir Otunba Akin Hanson.
Her kind and magnificent reception on reaching Jos was highly commendable and admirable.
She exemplified a lady from a well trained and well brought home.
One thing that I have missed since her last day in the church and our last outing was " Brother Lanre" She was a woman of little words but more actions. She readily helped those who needed her help while in the service. She was of excellent personality and beauty to behold. It pains me very sincerely that I am writing a tribute on you which should have been vice versa, God knows best. 'What can I say unto the Lord, all l have to say is thank you God. May the soul of my sister Lady Modupe Hanson, Iya Ike, rest in the bosom of her creator, amen.

My lovely wife, Aya Esho, Iya Onikepo. I will miss you dearly. You were more than a wife to my elder brother, you were a mother and a blessing to the whole Hanson family.
Children were happy around you, you were accommodating and loving to all. You were a dedicated mother and woman, to God, family and everyone around you.
I will miss you so much and our gists when coming back from church together, advising me, praying for me, Toyosi & her family. Ah! You are truly a rare gem, Iya gbogbo. Rest in peace.

Iya 'Ke as fondly called. You're always there for everyone. Hmnnnn, still heartbreaking you're no more 💔 .
Your death left a deep void in our hearts, but the memory of your care and love will never be forgotten.
Growing up, Daddy Ike will come to Ibadan and pick us up to spend holidays in Lagos. You always welcome us with open arms, making our stay beautiful, and you both showed us gifts.
Your home was the first point most times, any member of our family from Ibadan visit Lagos. You're always so warm and welcoming 🥰.
I vividly remember when I gave birth to my first child, he was pre-term, and we were transferred to LASUTH. Was there for one month as my baby had to be in an incubator. Aside making me comfortable there with your influence, you will visit daily with hot pap in the flask with different sides 😉 until we were discharged.
Every Christmas celebration was a must in your home. Christmas party 2023, you told me n hubby "Hope we will see you guys soon before another Christmas" you always want us to visit regularly.
You'll be greatly missed 😔
Continue to rest in the bossom of God Almighty, Amen 🙏
Love ❤️

Tribute
Mama Onikepo, you fought and won the race. We blessed His holy name.!!!!
You are a woman of many parts. You welcome new ideas to make work move forward.
Your dedication and contributions to the body of Christ are truly commendable and worthy emulating.
She always asked “Deaconess, what do you think we should contribute in this situation. I don’t want our Diocese,Circuit and Society not to have impact in what we are asked to bring or do”.
Have I tried in what I donated for this program/project “ ….Itara ile Baba re jee logun pupo.
You came to the Wowican Odi olowo /Ojuwoye Chapter Annual lecture in October last year and in your word of advice you said “let love be genuine and always be available when called upon in the work of God and donated generously “
You added, Deaconess, do you know this is my Iya Oko’s Church, why not bring this program to our Methodist Church.
I responded, as our Wowican Logo “so that we may be one in Christ since we are Women Wings of Christian Association of Nigeria with five Blocs.” This program has been constituted to be held in all Blocs(CSN, CCN, OAIC, CPFM/PFN, ECKW/TEKAN) in LCDA.
Generousity was the core of our Late President, lady Modupe Hanson. She had an open heart and open hand, always ready to help those in need. She believed in giving without expecting anything in return, and her acts of kindness have touched the lives of many.
No wonder, while on sick bed in the hospital, Mama Ikepo called me on the phone as if to say her work on earth is coming to an end to inform me about some payments she made to the Circuit women fellowship regarding the Society outstanding debts.
The Lord gives and He takes, Glory and honor to his name.
Adieu! Adieu! Our Late President, Patron Wowican Odi -olowo/Ojuwoye Chapter.

To a Loving Mother
With a heart full of gratitude, love, and fond memories, I thank God for the privilege of having such an irreplaceable soul in my life as my mother—Mummy, as I fondly called you. Words cannot fully capture the depth of how loving, caring, and supportive you were to my siblings and I. We shared a bond so special that anyone would think I was your favorite, yet you had the same relationship, if not deeper, with each of my siblings. You loved us all unconditionally.
Mummy, you were more than just a mother—you were my friend, my confidant, my gist partner (even though people thought I was quiet), and my pillar of strength. You stood by me in ways that knew no bounds. During my low moments, you were always there. We spent so much time together, especially when my siblings were studying abroad. Even after I moved about five years ago, you remained my anchor.
As kind and loving as you were, you didn’t tolerate nonsense. Quick to discipline, you wielded slippers or a belt as your “weapons,” shaping me into who I am today. I vividly remember you teaching me responsibility at a young age, making me care for my younger brother when I was just 10. That early training now shows in how I care for my son.
You weren’t just a mother to your children—you were a mother to many. You had this incredible ability to make everyone around you feel valued and loved. Your kindness extended beyond our family, touching the lives of all who crossed your path. I especially admired how fluently you spoke Hausa; the way you made those shoemakers laugh and chat with you always led to discounts and smiles.
I thank God you met your grandson last May. That months we spent together were golden, even though I knew you were in pain. You still made Christmas and New Year 2024 unforgettable. I thought it was the usual aches of old age and that you would pull through, but God knew best.
Your life was a testament to devotion to Christ. You worshipped Him endlessly, and I will never forget the image of you rolling on the floor, singing praises whenever one of us achieved something. I can still hear you singing, "O se mi laanu, emi a polongo Re, Oba to se mi lanu eee, aaa ma polongo Re."
I could go on and on sharing memories, but it breaks my heart knowing this is a tribute to my beloved mother. It brings tears to my eyes even as I write this.
Thank you, Mummy, for being my guide, my comfort, and the greatest source of love in my life. You will always be missed but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Mummy.

She was a jolly good fellow all be it an Oga who mixed freely with subordinate. She loved life so much and loved to thoroughly enjoy herself. A cheerful giver, who surprised me pleasantly by being present physically at the very first fellowship I presided over as the President of Rotary Club of Ikeja South in 2015.
Her home-call at this time was a rude shock to me and She will be sorely missed. We just lost another of the very few beautiful souls around!
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace!

GOOD NIGHT TO MY DEAR SISTER AND FRIEND, LADY [YEYE] MODUPE COMFORT HANSON.
I never knew l would be writing your tribute so soon my dear Egbon, my friend, my colleague and my dear 'M.C Hammer', a.k.a. IYA 'KE.
I thought that after we had all retired, the next thing would be for us to be sharing happy moments together, celebrating with one another, having fellowship together but ALAS! the unforeseen happened, the sound of the trumpet was heard on Friday, 6th September, 2024 and 'lya 'ke' alighted from the bus and waved bye that she was going to a better place.
"O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY?
I remember the laughter, love, joy and closeness we shared together.
You were indeed more than a friend, always putting others first and offering support whenever needed. You were beautiful in and out, a good woman to behold. Your heart was built of gold, your house was open to all.
Unfortunately, l didn't get to see you while you were on the sick bed, l hoped and prayed for God to spare your life even just for everyone's sake and most especially for the sake of your darling husband and your beautiful children but our God is forever, 'KABIOSI'.
IYA 'KE, 'YOU FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, YOU FINISHED THE COURSE, YOU KEPT THE FAITH'.
I know you are in a better place where there is no pain, no sorrow, no weeping, no mourning and no day nor night. One day, we shall catch up with you to resume our fellowship.
Although, you are gone, your memories will live in our hearts forever.
On behalf of my family, l commiserate with the HANSONS AND THE KEHINDES on this great and irreplaceable loss and pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort you and the entire family and grant the soul of our dear departed, eternal rest.
REST ON MY DEAR SISTER!, REST ON MY DEAR FRIEND!, REST ON MY DEAR IYA'KE! TILL WE MEET ON RESURRECTION DAY, WHERE WE SHALL MEET TO PART NO MORE.
ADIEU! SWEET SOUL.

I struck gold having a second mother in you. You welcomed me with open arms and a heart full of love.
I learnt so much from you, and we talked about everything. Nothing was too small, neither too big; you’d listen and share your thoughts and advice calmly and in a non-judgmental way. Your wisdom and kindness were boundless, and I always felt heard and understood by you.
You were truly a virtuous woman, a true image of Proverbs 31. Steadfast in faith, consistent in character, a fierce lover of Daddy, your children, grandchildren, and those you held dear. Everyone that came across you loved you and learnt something from you. Even my church members were smitten by you despite only meeting you briefly. Your grace and warmth left a lasting impression on everyone you encountered.
The love you had for your children and grandchildren was so beautiful to witness. It breaks my heart that Tamilore didn’t experience you long enough, but I’ll forever be grateful for the time you were able to spend with him. We’ll be sure to tell him about you constantly. Iremide has especially promised to make sure of that. Your legacy will live on through the stories we share and the love we continue to feel for you.
I wish we had more time together, however, I cherish the time we shared. Your presence in my life was a blessing, and I will hold onto those memories forever.
Thank you for your love and care. I’ll miss you dearly mummy.

This is a death too many . It is shocking and devastating. My dear sister and twin, we used to call each other that. You were a kindhearted and peaceful lady. You loved and served God and humanity. You shared yourself with everyone through your kindness and agape love. You were a cheerful giver. God chose
to beckon on you because you were precious to Him. Keep resting, darling sister, till the resurrection day. May God grant your nuclear and extended families the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Bo sinu ayo Oluwa re, gbe ori le ookan aya re, ki o si ma simi, iwo omo odo rere. You have entered into eternal glory now, the Saints and Angels are rejoicing in heaven, hallelujah. May God's name be praised.

I call you Mummy because my story wouldn’t be complete without recognizing the profound role you played in my life as a mother to me. It’s deeply heartbreaking to write this farewell, but I find comfort knowing you lived a life full of love, care, countless achievements, and, above all, a strong relationship with God. Goodbye, Mummy ❤️

The news of the demise of Lady Modupḛ Hanson (mostly called Iya Ikḛ), a devoted Christian and member of our church-Methodist Church Odi-Olowo-was received with a heavy heart. While we grieve the loss of her presence among us, we also rejoice in the knowledge that she has been called home and now rest in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
She was more than just a church member while with us; she was a pillar of strength, faith, and love in our congregation. Throughout her life, she exemplified what it means to be a true servant of God in words and in deed. Whether it was through her involvement in church ministries, the quiet acts of kindness done without fanfare, or the way she consistently uplifted others with words of encouragement and exemplary life, she radiated Christ’s love in all that she did.
Her faith was unwavering, even in difficult times, and it served as an inspiration to many of us. She was someone who didn’t just talk about faith but lived it out in real and tangible ways. The way she prayed with sincerity, worshipped with a full heart, and served others with joy will forever leave an imprint on all who were blessed to know her.
As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the scripture in 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (NKJV). Indeed, she has finished her race with grace and steadfastness, and while we will miss her dearly, we are comforted knowing she is now in eternal glory, free from pain and suffering.
Though Lady Modupḛ Hanson's earthly journey has come to an end, her legacy of faith, love, and service will live on in each of us. We are grateful for the time God granted us with her, and we will continue to carry her light in our hearts as we move forward in faith.
Rest in peace, Lady Modupḛ Hanson. Your work here is done and perfected in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, and you have earned your crown in Heaven. Until we meet again in the presence of our Lord enjoy a peaceful rest from toiling.

My tribute:
"O se mi laanu, emi a polongo Re, Oba to se mi lanu eee, aaa ma polongo Re".
If anyone tells me you will hear this song and you won't dance and smile at me, I will never believe.
Dupsy Baby, you were calm even when a situation seemed unbearable. Admittedly, we have lost a precious jewel, if death were stoppable, we would have kept it from coming your way.
You christened me "Folu Baby" and when I fumbled, your word is "Nkan n se e" with a smile.
You find it difficult to hide your feelings when things go wrong even when it doesn't go down well with us which is human nature.
Dupsy 1 your love for us will forever be remembered.
Rest on my Big Aunty till we meet to part no more.
Foluke Soyemi.

It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that I pay tribute to my dear friend and auntie, (Auntie Dupsy 1)whose sudden passing has left me shocked and devastated. Even though she was much older than me; she was my gist partner, my confidant, and someone I could always turn to. She was kind to a fault, loving me, my children, and my husband as if we were her own.
We shared a special bond, especially in church, where our friendship grew into something precious and irreplaceable. She had a heart of gold, always ready to listen, offer advice, and stand by me through all seasons. Her love and kindness were unmatched, and her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.
Though the pain of her departure is overwhelming, I hold on to the belief that God is unquestionable, and she has gone to rest in His loving arms. I will continue to love and cherish her memory, even in death. My dear auntie, you always call me ‘ToyToy’ you will be forever missed, but your spirit and love will always live on in our hearts. Rest in perfect peace.
