Omoladun Okunade

Thank God for your life and what you were able to do in this world.

Glory be to our almighty father for his love over your stay in this world.

My prayer is that God would be with the entire family (Amen).

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace (Amen).

Ore,

You answered the call of the Lord when the trumpet sounded.

You, thereby, rested from all the labour and trials of this world.

Who are we to question the Lord Almighty, for He gives and He takes.

Glory to God for life well spent. Our solace is in the Lord.

May the Lord take care of the family you left behind.

Ore, rest in peace in the blossom of the Lord.

Goodnight.

Glory be to God for the life well-spent of my loving Sister and a very good friend, Mrs Omoladun Aduke Okunade. We spent our youthful years together as close friends to the extent that I was her Best Lady during her marriage ceremony.
She was a good Christian, very active in the things of the Lord. She had a good spirit, always in a joyful mood. She was a lover of God as well as people around her.
May her soul rest in peace, in Jesus' Name.

Tribute to My Dear Aunty Moladun

I celebrate you today and always, dearest Aunty — full of life, love and laughter.

Hardworking and enterprising, always willing to help, always ready to give, welcoming everyone with a warm smile and making everyone feel at home.

You were always jovial, lighting up everyone and everywhere with your love, smiles and kindness. Being around you was always so joyful.

You lived your faith as a committed Christian, and I am assured that a crown of righteousness is in store for you with our Lord Jesus.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness..." — 2 Timothy 4:7-8

I thank God for your life and for so many years of impacting me with your loving personality.

I miss you dearly, but I am comforted that your legacy of love, faith and generosity lives on in us.

Rest in perfect peace, Ma.

Mummy,

Putting my thoughts into words has been difficult. I asked myself why, and I realised how emotional it is that we did not have enough time to fully enjoy the many beautiful sides of you as a mother. Still, we are grateful for the years we shared.

Your peaceful, accommodating and motherly care will never be forgotten, even though your absence has left a huge vacuum. Your sacrificial trips to Abuja to care for our newborn are memories the heart will always cherish. I remember when you almost missed your flight; the haste would have inconvenient even someone much younger, yet you took it all in joy, driven by a mother's love.

You modelled how to raise children of good character, who turned blessing rather than a burden to society. Thank you for instilling Christian values and a legacy of prayer in us. We still clap after prayers, just as you did." kokoro o jen gbadun obi to gbo".

Grandma, every journey with you was peaceful and meaningful, without stress or worry. You were a strong pillar. Whenever we visited, you never missed the little details or the many things that needed attention. What a remarkably caring heart.

A major vacuum became evident when the monthly prayers you faithfully offered for your children could no longer continue. You were a fighter, holding on through many challenges until your Maker called you home.

Mummy, though you are resting, your legacy lives on. We take comfort in the promise of Scripture: “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live.”

Grandma Omoladun Aduke Okunade, rest peacefully in the bosom of your Maker. You are deeply missed, fondly remembered and forever cherished.

A Tribute in Memory of Omoladun Aduke Omoni-Okunade.

Omoladun was my biological sister of same father of blessed memory, Pa Nathaniel Akande Omoni, but different mother. I am #6 of 9 children, while she was #8. We were both raised with my two other younger ones, Owoade and Omotunrayo by her mother of blessed memory, Madam Dorcas Ojuolape Omoni, the first wife of my father at Oke Agbede area of Ogbomoso after my estranged mother Moyoade Omoni and my father divorced due to irreconcilable differences. Omoladun and I attended the same Masifa Elementary Day School, but different schooling thereafter.

Omoladun’s mother who raised us together with my younger siblings was very loving, caring, kind and responsible who treated all of us very well as her own without discrimination. For such a fair and onerous treatment, not being partial or making distinction and choosing favorites among us, I always praise God for her life until this day. I could see that all of us, and Omoladun in particular took such behaviors after her mother’s parenting, caring, loving attitude and lifestyle growing up, the virtue worthy of emulation.

Our father and mother raised us in the Christian way of daily Devotional time (first and last daily activity) of Bible reading, prayer and Hymnal singing and instructions. They raised us at the Okelerin Baptist Church, Ogbomoso as active members growing up with the fear and love of God living to please Him. Such a Christian upbringing shaped our lives in good morals, faith, kindness, righteousness, fairness, justice and peaceful coexistence. Each one of us gave our life to Jesus Christ as believers in Him followed with Believer’s Baptism at different times later.

I remember two scenarios in particular of my beloved sister Omoladun and I that stand out distinctively. The first is that during the holidays, we would go with our dad to his Petroleum Sales Station in Arowomole area of Ogbomoso to help him as Service attendants. The second scenario years later was in Ibadan when brother Layi (#3 sibling) opened up a Bakery Business and later Cement making Industry. He invited both of us to join him as employees. During that time, Omoladun and I were living in a two bedroom apartment in Agbowo area on Oyo Road near the University of Ibadan. Omoladun immediately joined the membership of nearby Ajegunle Baptist Church Agbowo, while I joined the Orita Mefa Baptist Church. Omoladun was an active regular member at Ajegunle Baptist Church Agbowo until she got married to Bayo Okunade. To the best of my knowledge, she remained there and raised all her children in that Church.

I really praise God for Omoladun, my beloved sister who was faithful in her Christian life and journey to the end of her life. I believe that she lived God’s plan and purpose for her until she passed on to glory at the age of 76 years to rest eternally at the bosom of her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. There we will meet her again at the end of our journey here on earth never to part again by God’s grace. Blessed is the memory of her life who died in Christ. She left us a Christian heritage and legacy of faith to the glory of God Almighty.

TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR IYA IBEJI

Iya Ibeji, that was the name we fondly called you. Your memories will forever remain in my heart. I still remember those days in Ilorin, where you joined our family through marriage. One of my earliest memories of you was your humility and willingness to live with us in the family house, giving your husband full support while he was schooling. You demonstrated love, patience and understanding from the very beginning.

I vividly remember the difficult years during the Idiagbon/Buhari regime, when life was particularly hard for civil servants. In 1979/80, when I was playing football for a Division Two club in Nigeria, you would sometimes entrust your daughter to me while I waited for the club bus, with Kenny also waiting for the school bus. Those simple moments have remained precious memories to me.

I will never forget my love for bread and fried eggs. I would simply buy eggs and give them to you to fry for me. I never knew how you managed to provide the ingredients, but somehow, you always made it happen. Looking back today, I realise that those little acts were expressions of your generous heart and the love you had for us.

Your kindness extended beyond the family house. I remember how you accommodated my wife during her second year at the University of Ibadan. You also welcomed my first child, a daughter, into your home and treated her like your own last born. Today, that little girl has grown into a mother herself. Whenever I reflect on how you embraced and cared for her, I am reminded of the special place you occupied in our family.

You opened your doors to so many people, both from your own family and from your husband's family. You were truly a woman with a large heart, always ready to make room for others, regardless of the circumstances.

Iya Ibeji, you were more than a sister-in-law. You were a mother, a sister and a dependable member of our family. Your life taught us the value of humility, sacrifice, generosity and genuine love for family. These are qualities that will continue to speak for you long after your time with us.

As I look back on these beautiful memories, I thank God for the privilege of having you in our lives. Though we can no longer enjoy those moments as we once did, the love you shared and the lives you touched will always be remembered.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU

May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest and let His perpetual light shine upon you. May He continue to bless and protect your husband, children, grandchildren and the entire family. May He comfort them in moments of sadness and give them the strength to carry on, knowing that the love you gave them remains a priceless legacy.

May your kindness continue to inspire us, and may the seeds of love you planted in our family bear fruit for generations to come.

Rest peacefully, our dear Iya Ibeji. Your memories are precious, your kindness unforgettable, and your place in our family history is permanent.

May you rest in the bosom of the Lord until we meet again. Amen.

Aunty Moladun, you were a rare gem 💎 . Precious, shinning, beautiful in and out.
Your value, words cannot really explain or describe.
Memories of your ever smilling face, your kind and loving words and actions, your faith, your devotion to God, your energy ,your trustworthiness and faithfulness in all things. I can go on and on keep flooding my mind. You had a very large ( it's reallyl large ) and loving heart that accommodated and served all .
Thank you for being a model to me as a young girl. I watched your deligence at work. Your home had room for all. Your generosity fed us in numbers. You never complained, you served and sacrificed joyfully. You lived the Christian life. You treasured your family and those connected to them,thank you ma. Your service and devotion in Church i will always remember.
Your memory is sweet but challenging. You lived a life we must emulate God helping us.
When my parents had that motor accident in 1990, you taught me what love, selflessness ,loyalty , generosity and family meant without saying it in words. I saw all you did and it stayed with me.
I thank God for rewarding you because we call you blessed. Hallelujah was your song to the last breath.
I know that the Holy Spirit will comfort Uncle and uphold him. Your children will continue to live in the answers to your prayers and the mercy of God.
Take your deserved rest ma, till we meet again.
Till then, continue to sing HALLELUJAH.

Olubukola Olutayo.( nee Opadoyin )

It has taken me weeks to gather my thoughts and find the words to write this.

I called you Mummy and saved your name as Mummy Ibadan because I never wanted to save anyone's details in a way that could put them at risk if my phone ever fell into the wrong hands.

I remember years ago, when you were unwell. You came through that difficult period because you were not just a fighter but a victorious warrior. You were a prayer warrior par excellence. I also remember once when I was ill how you prayed fervently and get others to pray. I remember the message you sent to encourage and strengthen me.

Your love extended beyond your own children. My wife and her siblings carry that legacy of care and compassion, and it shows in how deeply they care for others. You welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me feel accepted from the beginning.

As I reflect on the years gone by, I cannot recall any disagreement between you and my family. You were accommodating, gracious, and a source of peace. Your presence brought harmony, and you played a significant role in making our home and our relationships peaceful.

You lived a life of faith, love, sacrifice, and kindness. Your memories will remain with us and the impact you made in our lives will never be forgotten.

Rest Mummy in the bosom of the One who loves you more than any mortal ever could

Tribute to my dear Aunty Moladun

Aunty Moladun was a remarkable woman whose love, kindness, and unwavering faith touched our lives.

She was a mother, a mentor, and a steady source of strength to me especially, and within the family. Her nurturing spirit, calm guidance, and quiet resilience shaped those around her, and her presence brought comfort, unity, and stability.

I will always remember Aunty Moladun for her gentle nature and generous heart. She found joy in helping others and consistently extended kindness without expecting anything in return. Even in challenging moments, she carried herself with grace, compassion, and steadfast faith.

A devoted, God‑fearing woman, she demonstrated the importance of trusting in God through every season of life. Her faith was not merely spoken—it was lived daily. Through her example, she taught me resilience, hope, and gratitude, leaving a lasting spiritual legacy for me and all who knew her. Her life reflected the qualities of a true woman of faith.

You possessed a unique ability to bring joy to those around you. Your warmth, laughter, and gentle presence brightened every room. You made others feel valued, welcome, deeply loved and at the same time, you lifted hearts with your kindness and sincerity.

Although your passing brings profound sorrow, your memory will remain a source of comfort and joy. Aunty Moladun, you leave behind a legacy of love, faith, and generosity that will continue to inspire me and future generations of the Omoni clan. The values you instilled and the compassion you shared will live on in our hearts.

Your work on earth is complete, your race is won, and your legacy will endure. May you rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord.

Calling her Mummy Ibadan was just automatic for all of us. She had this incredible way of making you feel completely welcome from the moment she sight you.
Beyond her warmth, she had this deep love for God. She wasn’t quiet about her faith, and she lived it out every single day in how she treated people with patience, kindness, and genuine care. She was a pillar for so many of us, and her presence was a real comfort.
It is really hard to accept that you are no longer here with us.
You left a mark in my life that time can never erase.
You will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace mummy!

Dear Grandma Ashi ❤️

I feel very lucky that I got to have you in my life even if it’s for a short while!

I will especially remember hearing you sing “Hallelujah, my God is good” to us, a memory that we will always carry. It makes me smile knowing that something you sang so often became such a special part of us.

You were part of our childhood, our family stories, and so many of our happy memories. I wish I could have had more time with you and make many more memories together.

Although you are no longer here, the love you gave us will stay with us. I will remember your beautiful smile, and all the lovely goodies you gave us.

Thank you for being my Grandma and for giving me memories that I will carry for the rest of my life.

I love you, Grandma. Rest peacefully.🕊️❤️

We thank God for a life well lived. Abiyamo tooto. She loved the Lord and she served the Lord. The Lord be with the family and comfort them in Jesus name, amen.

We thank God for a life well spent. May her soul rest in peace in Jesus name.

Oluwa yio te yin si afefe rere. Good night, our beloved Mummy, we meet again at the feet of Jesus.

Grandma, your call home has left a huge vacuum in my heart. You were indeed the epitome of courage, hard work, and godliness. Your exemplary lifestyle taught me to accept every situation with a smile and thanksgiving, and you were always a true rallying point for my brother and me.

​You were more than anyone could ever ask for in a grandmother. In your final years, you fought and battled so many illnesses with grace, resilience, and unyielding faith. Having the privilege to share your last moments is a blessing I will hold dear forever, as we cared for you every step of the way. Each of those tender moments will stay with me eternally, because there will never be another person like Mama OMOLADUN ADUKE OKUNADE—the best grandma in the whole world.

You will be greatly missed, Grandma, by "your boy" Ayomide, as you fondly called me. I will always remember you, ma, and thank God for the meaningful, heroic life you lived. I take solace in the fact that you've finally gotten the rest you deserve ❤️😔.

Till we meet to part no more, rest on Grandma. I love you. 🕊️ ❤️

TRIBUTE TO MY DEAREST MOTHER, OMOLADUN ADUKE OKUNADE

My darling Mommy, Omoladun Aduke Okunade, you were truly a rare gem—a loving, selfless, devoted, hardworking and prayerful woman. Words can never fully express how much you meant to me or how deeply I miss you. Your departure has left a void in my heart that can never be filled, but the beautiful memories we shared will forever remain with me.

Mommy, you were industrious, intelligent, calculative and smart. You faced life's challenges with courage and always found a way forward. Your beautiful, bright and contagious smile could light up a room and bring joy to everyone around you. You were cheerful, warm and full of life, and your presence brought peace and happiness to our family. You loved and cherished not only your immediate family but also your extended family, always finding ways to show them love and care.

One of the greatest privileges of my life was having the opportunity to care for you, shower you with love and give you my attention until your last breath. I never imagined that our time together was running out because you seemed to be getting better. I held on to the hope that you would recover and that we would have more beautiful moments together. If only I had known that your departure was so near, I would have held you even closer and told you countless more times how much I loved you. Although my heart aches, I remain grateful to God for the privilege of being there for you until the very end.

Mommy, your prayer life was one of the greatest gifts you gave us. You prayed tirelessly for all your children and even for your in-laws. You taught us to put God first, trust Him in every situation and never give up on prayer. Your faith was not merely expressed in words but demonstrated through your sacrifices and daily life. I believe the prayers you offered for us will continue to speak, and the godly foundation you laid will remain with us for generations to come.

You were a loving mother, but you were also firm when it came to discipline. One of the strongest values I learnt from you was your zero tolerance for lies and deceit. You taught me to always speak the truth, regardless of the circumstances, and that lesson has become an inseparable part of who I am. Yet, beneath your firmness was a tender heart, especially towards me. You sometimes protected me from punishment, even when I knew I deserved it. That was your unique way of showing me love, and I will always cherish it.

I will never forget those beautiful days when you patiently copied my Girls' Auxiliary notes and projects in your neat, artistic handwriting. You were always ready to make sacrifices to ensure I had what I needed for my academic and spiritual growth. You also ensured that my brothers and I had our uniforms and accessories for Sunbeam, Royal Ambassadors, Girls' Auxiliary and Lydia. You were intentional about raising us to know, love and serve God, and your example continues to inspire us.

Mommy, you were much more than my mother; you were my adviser, confidant and trusted companion. You were the first person I informed when I got engaged, even before I got married. Your opinion, prayers and happiness meant so much to me that sharing such an important moment with you was a priority. I could always talk to you, knowing that you would listen and understand me in your own special way. Losing you means losing someone with whom I shared a unique and precious bond.

I can still hear your voice calling me by that special name, “Temitope l’ódo Baba.” Oh, Mommy, how I wish I could hear you call me that name just one more time! The sound of your voice, the affection behind those words and the special bond they represented will forever be engraved in my heart.

How can I forget our lovely trips to Mokola and our visits to Aunty Millisent and Leo to make our hair? Those moments may seem ordinary to others, but to me, they are priceless treasures. They remind me of the laughter, closeness and simple joys we shared. These beautiful memories will remain a source of comfort and will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Mommy, you were a woman of many beautiful qualities, and your love extended far beyond words. You paid attention to the little things, made sacrifices without complaint and found joy in caring for those you loved. Your cheerful disposition, kindness and unwavering devotion to your family made you truly special.

Your beloved grandsons, Clinton and Gideon, whom you lovingly gave special names, will miss you dearly. They will miss your affection, care and the special bond you shared with them. Though they will no longer enjoy your physical presence, the love you poured into their lives will remain a precious part of their memories.

Mommy, one of the hardest things for me to accept is that you are no longer physically here, especially because you seemed to be getting better. I still struggle with the thought that I will no longer see your beautiful smile, hear your familiar voice or enjoy your comforting presence. Yet, in the midst of my grief, I find comfort in the wonderful life you lived, the love you gave so freely, the prayers you offered faithfully and the values you instilled in us.

Your life was a blessing, your memory is a treasure, and your love will remain with me forever. Though death has separated us physically, it can never erase the bond we shared or the impact you made on my life. I thank God for choosing you to be my mother, and I will forever be grateful for the privilege of being your daughter.

Rest peacefully, my darling Mommy.

Rest well, my rare gem.

Rest on, my cheerful and loving mother.

Rest on, my hero, until the resurrection morning, when we shall meet again to part no more.

O digba kan na, a o pade l’ayo, l’ese Olugbala.

My consolation is found in Yoruba Baptist Hymnal (YBH 487), which reminds me of the glorious hope of meeting again at the feet of our Saviour:

Nje leba odo tutu na,
Ao r’ oju Olugbala;
Emi wa ki o pinya mo,
Yio korin ogo Re.

Ao ha pade l’ eti odo,
Odo didan, odo didan na,
Pel’ awon mimo leb’ odo,
T’ o nsan leba ite na.

These words remind me that, in Christ, our separation is not the end of our story. I hold firmly to the hope of the resurrection morning, when we shall meet again in the presence of our Lord and Saviour, never to part again.

Sleep on till then, my Mummy, my Mummy!

I love you, Mommy, and I will carry you in my heart for as long as I live. Your smile will remain in my memories, your voice will echo in my heart, your prayers will continue to strengthen me, and your love will forever be a part of me.

Good night, my darling mother, until we meet again at the feet of Jesus.

Rest in peace Grandma,

As I look back, I struggle to remember the times I spent with Grandma. However, the short memories I can still remember, and the stories I’ve been told are heartwarming, beautiful and tell me how wonderful of a person you were.

I am so proud that I could call you ‘Grandma’. Your departure has left a toll on all our hearts and all of this world. I would have wanted to spend more time with you and get to know you better and hear stories from you about your life on earth.

I pray one day, that will meet again,
Amen.

Rest in peace, Grandma Ibadan

It’s still hard to believe that you’re no longer with us. I’m struggling to find the right words to express how I feel, but I’m so grateful for the time I had with you and the memories we shared. Losing you has left a hole in my heart that words can’t explain.

You will always have a special place in my heart, and I will carry your memory with me for the rest of my life. I pray that God grants you eternal rest and gives our family the strength to get through this difficult time.

You will never be forgotten, Grandma. I love you always.

If I were to make wishes, one of it would have been that you are still here with us in sound health. Mummy, thinking of you made me realize the love and care you showed me is far beyond what words can describe. You cared for me, nurtured me, and treated me with love that I will forever cherish. You were a mother in every sense of the word.
You were a loving, caring, hardworking, industrious, and God-fearing woman. You gave so much of yourself to ensure that everyone under your care were well and that each and every one of us was happy. Many of the values I carry today were shaped by the love, discipline, guidance, and example you gave me. Your influence will continue to live on in me and in the lives of everyone you touched.
Your passing has left a deep void in our hearts There are memories I will hold on to for the rest of my life—your kindness, your words, your prayers, your strength, and the many ways you showed that you cared.
Although I wish I had more time with you, I take comfort in knowing that you lived a meaningful life and left behind a legacy of love and goodness. I am grateful to God for giving me the privilege of having you in my life.
Mummy, thank you for loving me. Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for being there when I needed you I will forever be grateful.
As I bid you farewell, I pray that the Lord whom you served and trusted will grant you eternal rest and give each and everyone of us the fortitude to bear this loss. Your earthly journey is over, but your memory and legacy will remain with us forever. Just like your words "Emi mimo yo ma ba wa lo". Ko si ni fi wa sile lailai (The Holy Spirit will go with us and will never leave us) Amen
Rest peacefully, mummy
You will always have a special place in my heart.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Grandma, the news of your death really broke my heart. I could not believe I won't see you again. I will miss the sweets, biscuits and drinks that you share with us. You are the first grandma I will see without white hair. Though you are no longer with us physically, your memory will remain forever in our hearts. Your journey here has come to an end, but your love and laughter will continue to be in our hearts .Rest peacefully, dear Grandma.
You will be greatly missed.
May your gentle soul rest in peace. Amen.

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED GRANDMOTHER
My dear Grandma,
Saying goodbye to you is one of the hardest things I have ever wanted to do. It is difficult to accept that you are no longer here with us, but I am grateful to God for the beautiful life you lived and the precious memories you left behind.
I will forever cherish the memories of your love, your words, your laughter, and the moments we shared. Oh, how I miss the times you always keep milkose sweet or tom-tom in your bag to give us; no more "My girl" like you fondly call me and my sister, and no more Halle-llu-yah my God is good. Though tears fill my eyes today, my heart is also filled with gratitude for the privilege of having you as my grandmother. May the Lord grant you eternal rest in His presence.
You will forever remain in my heart. Until we meet again, rest in perfect peace Grandma.

Some people make the world feel larger, but a truly special few make it feel safe, warm, and gentle. Mummy was one of those rare souls.
Though she is no longer with us in body, the faith she lived, the generosity she showed, and the warmth she gave so freely will live on through her family and all of us who were blessed enough to know her.
Rest in Mummy!

EVERCHEERFUL! EVERSMILING!

Grandma Ashi! How does one begin to write about you in past tense! But then, write we must, having this comfort, that this separation is not final, not a goodbye, just a good night.
We glorify the Lord for the privilege of knowing you, experiencing life and living with you.
Yours was such a warm, kind and loving heart! Your smiles and laughter were not only welcoming, but infectious and indeed, therapeutic. Your love for God was never in doubt; your love for family, friends and neighbours was superlative. You loved loving God and impacted our lives through prayers, you gave so much for the good of all. You were such a loving mother to Idowu and Seyi (indeed, all of us) and a doting Grandma to the Mos and all other grandchildren.
We would have loved to have you live longer, but God chose to call you home when He did and we align our will to His because He knows best and even in this, we judge Him faithful.
Our God is able, abundantly able; He has kept us this far and will surely keep us still. He will fill every vacuum created by your exit. He will comfort, strengthen and uphold us all, especially your beloved and loving husband, Grandpa Ashi. He will keep safe all that you left behind and grant your loving soul sweet repose in His bosom.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel and the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise (1 Thess. 4:16).

Mama/Grandma Ashi, Sleep Well, Rest Easy until the Resurrection Morning.

Tribute to My Dear Mum

‘Moladun Aduke Okunade

I am still coming to terms with your demise. It is hard and painful, but I take solace in the knowledge that you are now free from pain and resting in the bosom of the Lord you served so faithfully.

Since your passing, the world became a little quieter, a little less bright, when my amazing mum passed. Mum was love in its purest form.

My mum was a true people person. Her home was open to all, without discrimination. She was nice to a fault, selfless to her core. She was kind, loving, honest and true, and she never spoke ill of anyone.

She was so very hardworking and industrious, always happy, quiet and resilient, with that bright, beautiful smile that lit up every room. She genuinely loved people and she gave generously without ever expecting anything back. She was content, so satisfied and grateful for all that God blessed her with.

She loved and respected my daddy dearly. She fondly called him "My daddy" and they were always together, till the very end. He fondly called her "mama Ibeji".

Her elder brothers and sisters called her "Moladun". To her grandchildren she was "Grandma Ibadan" and "Grandma Hallelujah". Each name was a title of love, and she answered to every single one with grace.

I will always cherish how she and my dad would sit down together after the day's work, tell each other how their day went, pray over it and give thanks to God. That was their love simple, faithful, and full of God.

Above all, Mum never joked with God. She was completely devoted to serving Him. She read her Bible and prayed every single day severally, and she never missed her 1-2-3 prayers at the start of the month. Her life itself was a prayer. A legacy she poured into her children.

Mum, thank you. Thank you for your life of love, kindness, hard work, contentment and unwavering faith.
Thank you for being a mother to many, a refuge to many, and a true example of a virtuous woman.

You have fought the good fight, you have finished your race, you have kept the faith.

Rest well, dear mother, in the arms of your Maker.

I love you forever.

Your daughter,
Kehinde Olorunnisola

My dear aunty, your smile, your very kind and generous memories fill me at this point. I thank God for the life you lived and remember fondly the block making industry you had in the 80’s and 90’s when we came to Ibadan visiting.

Good Night

Adieu, my amiable, devoted Christian and God fearing Mother in law! Little did I know, like every other person that you can leave this sinful wicked world to be with your creator so soon, when your son asked for my daughter's hand in marriage in the year 2015. Ever since we became one family, I never saw you in a sad mood throughout your life time. Always in happy mood, we shall surely miss your ever smiling beautiful, black and shining face. No dull moment at any time within the family, at work place even in the house of God . No wonder people received the news of your departure to the great beyond with mix fillings because it came as a shock. The only consolation we have is that you have been in Christ Jesus and never backslided to the end. To God alone be all the glory in Jesus name 🙏🙏🙏. May God Almighty continue to be with all the family members, friends and relatives left behind in Jesus name. Mama Omoladun Okunade, continue to rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more again in Jesus name. Jesus is Lord 🙌🙌😍.

TRIBUTE TO A LOVING AND BELOVED SISTER IN-LAW
MRS. OMOLADUN ADUKE OKUNADE

I received the news of the passing of my beloved sister in-law - Mrs. Omoladun Aduke Okunade with profound sadness and a very heavy heart. Her death is not only a great loss to her immediate family, but also to all of us who had the privilege of experiencing her kindness, generosity and love.

I will personally remember her with deep gratitude for the invaluable support she gave me during the time I had a home accident that brought about my admission at University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan sometimes ago. At a very difficult moment in my life, she stood by me and offered assistance when it mattered most. I will never forget that kindness.

Beyond what she did for me personally, she was a loving and dependable sister to my wife and was always there to support her in different ways. She extended that same spirit of care and generosity to all my children – remembering that there was no long holiday that my children will not visit her at Ibadan to spend their long vacation only to return to Osogbo at resumption. Her presence, concern and willingness to help will be greatly missed. She was a loving mother and a devout Christian whose faith and compassion touched the lives of many.

Her passing has left a painful void that words cannot adequately describe. Yet even in our grief, we hold firmly to the hope and comfort found in God’s word:
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall, be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain” Revelation 21:4.
These words remind us that, although we mourn her departure today, our sorrow is not without hope. We trust in the mercy and faithfulness of Almighty God, who alone can comfort the broken hearted and give strength to those who grieve. Mummy was a prayer warrior and a devout Christian.

Nevertheless, we are comforted by the knowledge that she lived a life that touched and blessed many people. The memories of her kindness, love and selflessness will remain with us and continue to speak for her.

At this difficult time, I extend my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the OMONI’S both at home and in diaspora, and the OKUNADES’ particularly Baba Bayo Okunade; the husband, the children, the grandchildren, and all the in-laws. May God Almighty grant you the strength and courage to bear this irreparable loss, comfort you in this moment of grief, and preserve the beautiful memories you shared with Mummy.

May the Almighty God forgive her shortcomings, grant her eternal rest and receive her soul into His loving embrace. May He also grant the entire family the fortitude to bear the loss. Mummy Ibadan will be deeply missed, but her kindness and the lives she touched will never be forgotten.

With deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences - MR. OLALERE AJALA

TRIBUTE TO AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN, SISTER & ICON.

… It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute. You are truly remarkable woman whose kindness and love touched many lives. Rest peacefully, dear sister. Memories of your kindness, laughter, and love lives on in me. It hurts to say goodbye, but I’m grateful for every moment.
Goodnight 🪦, Sister Moladun.

Your Sister,
Dcns ‘Motunrayo Agnes Ajala. (Nee Omoni)

Rest on aunty Moladun. You lived your name bringing joy to anyone and everyone that cross your path. As the door of your home was never shut to anyone, so is your heart. Even in your small beginning, your Orogun flat was a hostel for all and your LABC panel van was a school bus to neighborhood kids, as well as pool car for the boys. You never complain, but always ready to give with all joy. May your memories continue to be a blessing, as you live on in our hearts.

My heart felt on the passing of our beloved mum. May God grant the whole family the strength to bear this great loss.

Mum was a devoted and faithful christian. Very prayerful, and always reading bible whom I knew for long periods of time.

Early morning, she coordinate prayers within the family which serve as a good upbringing for us as a children. What a remarkable mum she was during her live time.

Her love and wisdom stay with us forever.

What a life well spent by a wonderful mum!

Rest well in the Bossom of Almighty.
