Taiwo Oyedele

I write with heavy hearts to honor and celebrate the life of Mr Taiwo, our beloved Bros T. His earthly journey may have come to an end, but we are assured that his eternal rest in Christ has only just begun. The pain of his departure is deep, yet the Word of God gives us comfort:
“For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands” (2 Corinthians 5:1).

Bros T was more than a husband, father, brother, and friend. He was a man of quiet strength, unwavering faith, and a heart full of humility and love. To his dear wife, Sister Dolapo, he was a pillar of devotion. To his children, he was a loving guide and protector. To his family and everyone who knew him, he was a shining example of patience, kindness, and faithfulness. His gentle spirit and steady presence left an imprint on every life he touched, and his legacy of love will forever remain in our hearts.

Though death has silenced his voice, his life continues to speak. The memories we shared, his words of encouragement, his laughter, and his prayers are treasures that will never fade. Indeed, we mourn because we love, but we do not mourn as those without hope.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven… and the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). This is not goodbye forever, but farewell until we meet again in glory.

To my dear sister Dolapo and the children: I pray that the God of all comfort will wrap His loving arms around you. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). May His peace, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts steady, and may His strength carry you through every moment of sorrow.

Yes, our tears fall, but our hope stands unshaken. In Christ Jesus, we hold on to the promise of reunion when all pain will be gone, and every tear will be wiped away.

Rest on, my beloved Baba oko, until we meet again in glory everlasting.

With love, faith, and unshakable hope,

We celebrate, with deep love and heavy hearts, the life of my dear brother, Mr Taiwo. His passing leaves a void words can scarcely fill, yet we cling to the comfort of the Word of God: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” (Psalm 116:15).

Bros T, as I fondly called him, was a rare gem, a man of quiet strength, deep humility, and unwavering kindness. He loved his wife, Dolapo and their children with a devotion that was evident to all, and he was a pillar of blessing, encouragement, and light to his family, friends, and everyone privileged to cross his path. His life was a testimony of grace. He truly fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7).

Though our hearts are broken and tears flow freely, we do not grieve as those without hope. We hold fast to the promise that “the dead in Christ will rise first” (1 Thessalonians 4:16). In this assurance, we know that Bros T now rests safely in the bosom of the Lord, free from pain, free from struggle, surrounded by eternal peace.

My beloved brother, Egba omo Lisabi your memory will forever live in our hearts. Rest on, until that glorious resurrection morning, when by God’s grace, we shall meet again at Jesus’ feet, never to part.

With unending love and longing,

Tribute to Our Beloved Member – Cordial Taiwo Oyedele
With deep sorrow, the Cordial Set of Nigeria mourns the passing of our dear brother and friend, Cordial Taiwo Oyedele, whose departure has left a void that cannot easily be filled.
Taiwo was a man of uncommon kindness, humility, and cheerfulness. His warm smile brightened every gathering, and his gentle spirit endeared him to all. In his quiet and sincere way, he showed us that true greatness lies not in wealth or position, but in living a life of service, humility, and love.
As a committed member of the Cordial Set of Nigeria, Taiwo was more than just a colleague—he was family. He gave generously of his time, wisdom, and strength, always ready to encourage, to support, and to bring joy. His cheerfulness was infectious, his humility inspiring, and his kindness unforgettable.
Though he has left this earthly stage, his legacy of love, humility, and selflessness will remain with us. We thank God for the gift of his life and for the memories we shared with him.
May the gentle soul of Cordial Taiwo Oyedele rest in perfect peace.

May the good Lord comfort the family Mr. Taiwo left behind, forgive his shortcomings and accept his return.

You gave no one last farewell
Nor ever said good-bye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache with sadness and many tears flow
Uncle T, rest till the resurrection day

It was an honor knowing you. My first encounter with you and your wife was very welcoming. It saddened me knowing you are gone, but knowing you are in the arms of our Lord consoles me. May your soul rest in perfect peace

May God almighty give the family the fortitude to be the irreplaceable loss. God giveth ,God taketh. Accept my condolences.

You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts. Your love, kindness, and memories will live with us forever.

Life has shown us again it's hurtful side by taking you away from us when we didn't see it coming,
There is no way to make up for time lost and gone,only met you once and not knowing it would be the last I would see you again
You good memories will forever live in our hearts ,I hope you find peace and joy wherever you are
Know that you are truly loved.
Rest in the bossom of the lord ,Adieu Uncle Taiwo.

It is very painful to know that you are no more. It pained me to my marrow when I heard of your demise because you were full of life during the Grandpa birthday celebration few weeks ago. I pray that the good Lord be with the family you left behind and give the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Rest in perfect peace brother till we meet to part no more.

It was a rude shock to receive the new of your passing from my husband and I was short of words when I'd to call your wife, though I don't know you well. I met your wife physically for the first time in Ogun State during grandpa's birthday party, I'd connected with her online for a while and enjoyed her skits.
Truly I was hoping we'd be knowing each other more sometimes sooner but God is greater than all.
Aunty, accept my condolences for the irreparable lost, the Lord will grant you and family the fortitude to bear this and scale through peacefully, amen.

Uncle Taiwo was a kind and a ever smiling man, I got to know him as my Inlaw then we all shared lots of memories way back from Nigeria , The last time I set my eyes on him was the day he asked me to take him and the kids to the airport when he was leaving Nigeria for America 2017. It was a sad moment when I got a call from his ex-wife who happens to be my sis in love I was shocked and devastated.
May you rest in perfect peace and God forgive all your shortcomings Amen

Taiwo, a brother to love and a brother to cherish

Writing a tribute to you, Taiwo Oyedele (Omega), wasn't on my mind, but destiny has beckoned on me to pay my respects. From our humble beginnings, married from same family, we shared a bond built on mutual support and a deep appreciation for family values, which you cherished dearly.

Your radiant happiness was contagious, and even in your darkest moments, you prioritized others, offering solutions to my problems while navigating your own struggles. That's the Taiwo I knew – lively, caring, and supportive. Your children adored you, and you embodied the family man, upholding the values that matter most.

I'll never forget how you took my advice to heart, stepping out of your comfort zone to seek a better life. I'm proud of the strides you made, and your determination inspires me still. Though we never agreed on certain things, you patiently hoped that time would heal our differences. Sadly, time ran out, but your memory remains, and I'll always cherish the moments we shared.

Rest in peace, dear Taiwo, baba Peyibomi, baba Dayibomi

May God in his mercies grant the deceased an eternal rest and the families he left behind the fortitude to bear the loss.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace and bring comfort to the family.

Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the righteous will be a blessing. Meeting your family is a light to my young and growing family with the help of your wife but if you haven’t fathered a great family she wouldn’t be a woman with so much wisdom. I met you only once but you were full of life and beaming soft smiles. I know you’re in a good place and I pray God strengthen and comfort your family and I know you will watch over them. Till we meet again at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to rest in Glory. Amen.

Mr. T. The news was so shocking. You were simple, accommodating, friendly, jovial and no dull moment around you. May the Lord comfort your family. It is well.

May your soul continue to rest in peace in the blossom of your maker.

Taiwo was a true gentleman! Very respectful and caring.
May he find rest in God's eternal peace.

May your gentle soul rest peacefully, My condolences to your loved ones and family.

We offer our heartfelt condolences during this incredibly challenging time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you find your way through this difficult journey. May you find comfort in the shared memories and may his love continue to guide you in the days ahead in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Cordial Taiwo, the news of your sudden death just came to me as a very big shock. What came to my mind was the last time you came to Nigeria for the birthday ceremony of your father's in law you look very hale and hearty nobody will think about death to you in more than thirty years to come. Chief T as I foundly call you, I take solace in our christian believe that we shall all one day meet at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that the Lord grant you eternal rest and let His light perpetual shine on you and May the Lord grant your entire family and friends the fortitude to bear the lost in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏.

The first and last time meeting with you and your wife makes me think how such a kind and humble man should depart without notice. As God shows that He loves you more than we do,we are accepting your departure with faith. The Lord will show up for all that you left behind to bear the fortitude in Jesus name. From Mrs A.M Oguntade

T baba, it's a bit unbelievable untill now. Gods are not to blame. May Allah accept your return and grant you fridaus. May Allah will be with the family and bless your offsprings.

Taiwo Oyedele, where do I start……so much to say but I am pained at your death.
Our first meeting was in 1996 at the University of Ibadan. We came for our Masters degree program and were in the same hall of residence, Awo Hall. From there on, we became good friends and brothers. A very jovial person and one with a good heart full of love. I never for once saw him downcast and a very supportive friend. After our program, the relationship continued and his twin brother , Kehinde also became my friend and brother till date.
We lost touch but reconnected again early this year through our mutual friend and ever since then we’ve been planning for a reunion unfortunately he left us unannounced. I will personally miss you but trust you are in the bosom of the Lord.
My sincere condolences to the entire family at this difficult moment of grief.
Continue to Rest in Peace Taiwo.

Though I never had the chance to meet Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, I am sharing my deepest condolences for this profound loss. I have seen and heard so many wonderful things about his kindness, support, and the joy he brought into my darling cousin's life, and I know he was a truly special person. My heart goes out to my Cousin Dolapo and the entire family during this incredibly difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I am sending all my love and support. May the memories of Mr. Oyedele bring comfort in the days ahead. Amen 🙏.

The news of your passing was so shocking that words can not describe it. You were a loving and caring man to my beautiful sister. You came into her life when she was so down and you lift her up with your gentle and kind heart. The vacuum that you left behind can not be filled. You can never be forgotten, your legacy lives on in our hearts. Rest on with the lord till we meet to part no more.

The news of your demise broke me and even till now, it still feel like a dream. But God knows best, so we cant question Him.
Smart, meek and kind are three words with which I can describe you. Our friendship since our undergraduate days will forever be cherished. Till we meet in paradise, sleep on beloved friend

Mr Taiwo Oyedele was a kind, gentle, humble, friendly, and respectful man. He was family oriented, and he shared time and activities with friends and family.
My family expresses our sympathy, and our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
May the family find peace, love, and comfort in the memories they cherished.
May his soul rest in peace in the mighty name of Jesus.

It's indeed painful and unbelievable but we have to accept it.

It's my prayers that God will keep your family and watch over them.

My own respected in-law we love you Sir.

RIP Dad...

Taiwo's death still a shock to me,He is always a gentleman and easy going person since I have known and been with the Family for over 2 decades ago. May his soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of God.

What a sweet soul, your death was so shocking when I heard of it, when I saw you on August I didn't know that will be the end. You are such a gentle and kind hearted person, we love you but God loves you more. Rest on till resurrection morning. Adieu
