Yetunde Olutoyin Ogunseye

In loving memory of a life well-lived and deeply cherished.

Obituary

Yetunde Olutoyin Aina Ogunseye (née Amos) was born on September 23, 1957, to the family of Late Pa Olarenwaju Amos and Late Mrs. Eunice Adedoyin Amos (née Odunowo). She was the third of seven children. Raised in a devout Baptist home, her life was firmly rooted in Christian faith, guided by her father’s favorite verse: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5).

Her academic brilliance was evident from an early age. She attended St. Agnes Demonstration School, Maryland, and Ebenezer African Primary School, Ibadan, before completing her secondary education at St. Bernardine’s Girls Grammar School, Oyo. She earned her Higher School Certificate from Ibadan Grammar School and obtained a B.Sc. in Accounting (Second Class Upper) from the University of Lagos in 1978.

Following her National Youth Service in Imo State, Yetunde began her professional journey with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers), qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1981 and becoming a Fellow of ICAN in 1993. Her career spanned accounting, banking, and corporate leadership, where she embodied excellence, integrity, and faith. She worked with Coopers & Lybrand, Honda Manufacturing (Nig.) Ltd., and ICON Merchant Bankers before founding her own firm—Yetunde Ogunseye & Co., Chartered Accountants—in 1986.

In 1993, she joined Associated Discount House (ADH) and rose through the ranks to become Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer in 2004, a position she held until her retirement in 2011. She also served on several boards and professional councils, including the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (HCIB), the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS), and the Nigeria Discount Market Association (NDMA).

A devout Christian, Yetunde’s faith evolved across denominations, culminating in her deep devotion as a Catholic, where she found joy in serving as Patroness to multiple church groups and was a member of the Parish Pastoral Council at the Catholic Church of the Assumption, Falomo. She was known for her warmth, generosity, and unshakable belief in unity among Christians.

She met her beloved husband, Mr. Crispin Ogunseye, through a dear friend, and they married on November 12, 1983. Their union was blessed with a daughter, Toluwalope Ilerioluwa (Tolu) Kyaagba. Yetunde was not only a devoted wife and mother but also a mother figure to many. Her joy for life was infectious—she loved to dance, to give, and to uplift everyone around her.

She is survived by her daughter, Tolu Kyaagba; son-in-law, Tor Kyaagba; sisters Professor Funmi Adeyemi, Dr. Kemi Gerfen, Desola Amos, and Yomi Uteh; grandchildren Yima Babatunde and Kume Olufemi Kyaagba; and a host of relatives, friends, and mentees whose lives she deeply touched.

Her life was a testimony of faith, service, and love. She lived fully, gave freely, and trusted God completely.

A Tribute to a Great Woman

Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye was a great sister of mine, a sister in a million. She was very good, very kind, very compassionate, and very merciful.

She would go to great lengths, often at the expense of her own comfort, to solve the problems brought to her. She was exceedingly generous and deeply caring. She loved people wholeheartedly, always drawing them close to herself.

Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye was a rare breed of human being. It seems the great Manufacturer, the Almighty God, stopped making them like her a long time ago.

She was a genuine, thorough-bred old school woman, quintessential and iconic in every respect. A Christian to the core, she faced the battles of life with calmness, faith, and perfect trust in the Almighty God. And she overcame every single one of them.

Goodnight, my great sister. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Lord until we meet again at Jesus’ feet, never to part anymore.

I would like to close this short tribute with a Yoruba Christian hymn I first heard at Grandma Amos’s funeral service in Abeokuta way back in 1989:

Yoruba Hymn
A (wa) o pade l’ese Jesu
Ni ibiti a koni ya ara wa
A (wa) o ri ra wa
A (wa) o yo mo ra wa
Jesu ni yo se alaga wa.

English Translation
We shall meet again at Jesus’ feet,
Where we will no longer part.
We shall see one another,
We shall rejoice and embrace each other,
Jesus will preside over us.

My heartfelt condolences to her beloved daughter, Tolu Kyaagba; her son-in-law, Tor Kyaagba; her grandsons, Yima Babatunde and Kume Olufemi Kyaagba; and her sisters Professor Funmi Adeyemi, Dr. Kemi Gerfen and Desola Amos. I pray the Almighty God comforts you all and strengthens your hearts with His peace.

My name is Yemisi Ibidunni, and I am the brother of the late Arinola Ibidunni. Arinola was a dear friend of Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye from their UNILAG days. She will be sorely missed.

I received with a rude shock and disbelief the sad news of the death of my beloved friend and sister, Yetunde Ogunseye;whom I fondly called Yetti- mi. I got the news late and Im deeply saddened by your demise, but grateful for the time we had together.
Friends are the family we choose and losing you feels like losing a part of myself.. You were a blessing to everyone; kind, supportive, a giver to a fault.;A Beautiful soul, inside out.
I give God the Glory, you got the grandchildren you so longed and prayed so hard for.
Tolu, Pele my precious.."May the Lord Bless you ,keep you and your family..He will make HIS face shine upon you, be gracious to you and give you peace"
Oremi, I'll remember you in my heart. In my quiet moments, your memory will bring both tears and smiles to my face everyday.
Hmm!! It is well..Rest In Peace Yetty mi.

A Memorial Tribute to My Dear Sister-in-Law. Today, as we remember you, my heart is filled with both sorrow and gratitude sorrow because your absence has left a space that no one can fill, and gratitude because I was blessed to have known you, loved you, and called you my sister-in-law. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts. Your legacy of love, kindness, and strength will live on forever.
Rest in eternal peace, my dear Aunty Yetty You are deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.

Aunty, it still seems surreal that you were laid to rest today. Thank you so much for all you did for me. Your advice continues to carry me through, your confidence in me, your kindness to me. I am so grateful our paths crossed. I’m thankful you are at rest and that you were surrounded by those you loved so deeply even at the end. I know that would have made you happy. Until we meet again, aunty.

Since the news of your demise broke, I have struggled to come to terms to the reality that you are truly gone.
Madam like I fondly call you, you are a rare breed!!! Your kindness and compassion is rare to find. Your genuine concern for the welfare of others is one quality that is also not common.

I am happy to have worked with you(though a short stint) but very impactful. While I weep uncontrollably writing this, I take solace in the fact that you are resting with the Lord.

Rest well Madam!!!

It was always Mama Tolu three times and the response- Big Joe, with all the warmth and chuckle. This affection took roots from the Loyola high school days of Tor and Tolu, who brought our paths to meet. I will forever remain greatful to your willing consent to the spiritual bethrothal of Tolu to Tor at the LJC graduation day, which eventually evolved into a cherished gem in the Kyaagba family. What a great big Sis you are, as you continue to live on, we look to your return to the glory of the Almighty. Your brother -

Dear Yetunde you were a friend that will not be forgotten.
We met in 1975 at Unilag ( University of Lagos) in 1975 and a close friendship blossomed with you and Banke Ajayi.
I remember our fun time trips to Takwa Bay which included Derin and other friends.
The icing on the cake for me then was being included in aunty Funmi's wedding train alongside Banke.
You were never short of words and had the right words and prayers to say amongst the elderly. We teased you, that your in laws will be so blessed with your words of wisdom.
You won souls for Christ. You faced the challenges life threw at you with unwavering faith in Christ. I loved to listen to your testimonies. We didn't know when those trials came but each time you shared your victory, it was clear it was the hand of God.
Tolu your daughter who was not meant to be, came to be. The joy you both shared after her graduation with 1st class honors was infectious. Your dance steps were non stop at Folake, Banke's daughter's wedding reception party.
Thank you for being a caring and generous friend. Oyinda my daughter and I, took alternate rest at yours when Lekan my husband needed treatment on the Island. On learning of his passing you came with Bimpe Balogun with a generous basket of expensive food bounties from you and aunty Funmi.
We thank God for giving you the grace of carrying Tolu's two boys.
Rest with the saints triumphant dear friend 🙏.
I pray God will Tolu, your daughter beauty and oil of gladness for the ashes of this season 🙏
I pray the comfort and peace of God will envelope us all, family and friends. 🙏

A TRIBUTE TO A DEAR FRIEND, YETUNDE AINA OLUTOYIN OGUNSEYE

Our paths first crossed at Corona Primary School V.I., Lagos, where our children were pupils. As they both continued their journeys to Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja, our own lives became beautifully intertwined through love, faith, and lasting friendship.

Yetunde Aina Olutoyin Ogunseye was truly an embodiment of the Spirit of God an amazing woman of grace and excellence. I will always remember her as a devout Christian of the Catholic faith, a woman with an indomitable spirit. Ever so kind, loving, and caring, she was a true problem solver wise, patient, and full of understanding.

Yetunde, you were an agent of peace, an angel of God in mortal form. You epitomized your name Olutoyin always rejoicing, always dancing in praise, honor, adoration, and gratitude to God.

Even in death, you remain celebrated and deeply loved.
Adieu, woman with a heart of gold.
Adieu, beloved child of God.
May you dwell peacefully in the eternal comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Adieu, my dear friend.

My first experience with Mrs. O was at Tolu and Tor’s introduction at Dolphin Estate. She Welcomed us with open arms and made sure we felt at home. This has always been my experience of her since that moment. My last experience with her was helping her up the stairs to her room after my sister’s wedding in Dallas. We shared a few jokes before I went on my way. Ever the gracious and welcoming mother. May you rest in peace until we meet again 🙏🏾.

It has been hard for me to accept that Yetunde is no more with us. She's such a nice, pleasant amiable person that I can't even use past tense for her. She took my family as her own, particularly my mother, Mrs. Florence Ogunsola who was a bossom friend to Mrs. Amos. May her kind soul continue to rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more, Amen.

Hummmm...... this is one of the hardest task to carry out, as nature would have it tomorrow would have made it exactly 5 years I saw you last, November 7th 2000, where we exchanged pleasantries as if we were colleagues. You were always in my mind.

A PROFESSIONAL
Our path crossed March 1999 when I went for my Industrial Training at ADH, I could say without mincing words Madam as fondly called was my first professional coach, she thought me how to do call over, reconciliation and a lot in the field of accounting which had been my foundation till today.

A DISCIPLINARIAN
Aside from on the job, madam never looked down on anyone, I did remember a day I called a vendor by whistling, she scolded me and said I should address him properly.

A GIVER
I recall after 1998/99 Financial Year End, Profit Sharing (PS) was credited to staff's account, but as an Industrial Trainee, I wasn't qualified to benefit, YOAO called me into her office then and said, you deserved PS but the policy didn't favour you, let me see what I can do, after close of work she issued her personal cheque of 25,000 when my monthly allowance then was 7,500.

LIFE
I was shocked to hear of your demise, because we still spoke on your birthday, though I felt all wasn't well, probably tiredness, but you kept saying I can hear you thank you Tayo and I said I will call back, not knowing that would be our last conversation.

YOAO, Rest in the bosom of your Maker.
Tayo Adeyeye

Wow, Yetunde It's hard for me to accept you're not longer with us. The reason it took long for me to write this. I was somehow wishing I could just turn around and see you're still here. It means I won't be able to drop bytp see you again. This is wasn't what we agreed on. We held hands and believed God to heal you and relieve you of pain. Even though we asked for healing, God chose to give you the ULTIMATE healing and in the process relieve you of pain and He somehow threw in ULTIMATE rest as only He can do and He also gave you courtside view so you can watch us run our race since you finished yours!. He had a better plan in all situations and we will always defer to Him. So continue in the rest He offered you and watch us run. By His grace we will run a good race. We will miss very greatly. Our consolation is you're now home, resting and never to hurt again. We love you very dearly and will miss you a lot. Continue in your rest.

La-Yetunde. You were a great friend and I really wish you are still around. We had planned to tour the US in our retirement since our children have decided to bring us out here. But that will not be as you became ill and not able to do much travelling.
You were a lovely soul through and I honestly wish we had more time together to search the scriptures for the truth. Adieu Yetunde. Sleep well dear friend and remember that Tolu is in good hands. Thank God you were able to see your grandchildren Yima and Kimei

It is painful to write these words as I hoped to talk with you and laugh together about them like we always did. It was truly an experience working with you. I watched, listened and walked with you in confidence even when I couldn’t see the direction. Dot you i’s and cross your t’s you’d say. We’d review over and over, we’d sing and laugh. The words became clearer, the work became bearable and we built resilience, latent skills, patience with the process and growth beyond our present sight. I thank God I met you! How can I put every moment to words in this limited space? You taught and admonished like a mother. Excuse me here, your expectations about me came to pass. It is well (smiles and exhales). Rest well, till we meet again. My heartfelt condolences to the much loved Tolu and the entire family.

My darling Aunty Yetunde, if only tears could bring you back…..How? Why? Questions I still hope you will appear in my dreams to answer. Too painful, too incomprehensible to accept. You were an angel, my special angel here on earth. You always had my back. You were my strength when I was weak, never a bad word- only encouragement. Genuine, always full of love. Abim-Abim followed by a chuckle then omo aké. We gelled instantly. No pretences, airs or graces- you gave your all. I feel saddened because I didn’t get to see you, perhaps the reason why it hurts so much.
You loved God, you lived as a true believer. You ran your race, you ran it well. Till we meet again……farewell

After days of misty eyes, deliberate self-denial and mournful supplications that I should have been in a bad-dream, I have come to terms that I will see you no more in earthly flesh, my devotedly strict, caring, professional Wizkid YOA(O).

Ómólúàbí to the core, brilliant, resourceful paragon of beauty.

Ó'dì gbéré, ó'dàrínàkò, ó'dojú àlá, Yetunde. Óhun tí wo'nje lájulé orun ní kí o'má báwon je o ....

Yetty'mama, your
Tolu that I saw in a netted-baby-cot after birth at Odejaji Crescent Surulere Lagos took ample care of you so lovingly. This, with her husband and your grandchildren. That is a consolation I will carry.

Hmmmmn! This is sad. It’s still hard to believe that Mrs Ogunseye has gone to meet the Lord. We worked together at ICON Merchant Bank in the 80s. I thank God for the life she lived, for her smile whenever she called me Momo, and for her heart of gold that always looked out for the people she loved. She was always ready to lend a helping hand at any time of the day. Her kindness knew no bounds. She gave freely — her time, her wisdom, her laughter, her love — always putting others before herself. Her compassion was genuine; she carried people’s burdens as though they were her own and always found a way to lift their spirits, no matter what she was going through.
She was a christian who exhibited the love of God to as many as crossed her path. She was an avid lover of music and loved to dance at every opportunity.

I'll miss her warm smile, the laughter we shared, the stories, and our time of prayers.

Rest well, Mrs Ogunseye, in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

What can I say for goodness sake?

I am sorry you are gone and at the same time I have to thank God for His mercies!!!
I kept meaning to call you, like I usually would, but I didn't and now this. We still thank God. It is well!
May He grant you mercy and may you rest in perfect peace; in the bosom of Jesus.

Amen! 🕊

Mrs O!
So loving & caring.

I doubt that I've met someone who was so concerned about the well being of others as Mrs O was.

With an infectious smile on her face, she would ask, "Tiza, how are you? How are you doing?".

Ever ready and present to lift your spirits when you're down; and to celebrate with you at every opportunity.

You ARE missed.

I take confort in the knowledge that you are resting in perfect peace with Our Lord.

Oh momma Ogunseys 😔
I don’t know where to start..as I sit here with this lump in the throat, thinking about the time that I spent with you !
I just want to start off by saying thank you for allowing me to be apart of your journey, you specifically choose me and I’m forever grateful that I got to spend the remainder of your time with you,
I thank you for never losing faith or losing yourself because of your battles, you still remained a beautiful soul, with your SMILE, laughter ( even if it hurt) and your bravery for never giving up! You sure was a fighter
And Aunty Tolu, you definitely left your mark on her, she’s perfect, everyone in my family knows her as the African Queen(bc that’s what I refer to her as) she’s everything I want to be, and without you as a role model or guidance, i wouldn’t be able to meet you or Tolu today so again I just thank you !
I’ll continue to pray over your family and hope for many blessings!

I have loved you with an everlasting love, I have drawn you with unfailing kindness! 🩷

La-Yetunde as our group of 4 friends fondly called her was more than a friend to me. She was the sister I never had, my sister from another mother.
We met at Unilag, studied the same course and were roommates in our second and final year. We were 5 and 6, attended lectures together, studied together, went to the cafetaria together, cried together, laughed together, mourned loses together, celebrated successes together, even partied together and most importantly prayed together. At University, people knew that if you invited one of us to a party, you would get two for the price of one. We looked out for each other at parties. we would arrive together and leave together (safety in numbers).
Our mothers got close through us and I was one of the bridesmaids at Yetunde's oler sister's wedding.

After graduation, we remained very close.We were separated by distance when I moved to the UK but ours was a friendship with a rare bond. Our friendship was characterized by deep trust, effortless understanding, and a connection that endured through time and distance.
La-Yetunde, ore mi atata was a supportive, loyal, and unwavering in her relationship. We kept very few secrets from each other, we would reconnect after long absences as if no time had passed.
La-Yetunde would tell me "Ore, there is nothing new under the sun!. She also had that genuine infectious laugh!

Ore mi, La-Yetunde, when heavens decided to pluck you from the earth, it did not just take you, it took part of me. I am already missing you. I wept like a baby, cried continuosly for days. I could not mention your name without shedding tears.
I will forever cherish our friendship, the times we fasted and prayed together for our children, the times we just chatted for hours on the phone, the times we spent visiting each other and spending time with each others' families, the times you brought Tolulope to visit us in Northampton and most recently in the last year, the times we had video calls and we reminisce about the past and shared hopes for the future.
Ooh what joy radiated all over you when you held your precious grand children, Yima and Kume!! Praise God for giving you the unique and profound joy of being a grandparent.

I am sad to lose you, ore mi. However I am grateful to God for giving you to me as a friend and sister for 50 years, grateful that God granted your wish to be freed from pain, grateful that your legacy will continue in Tolulope and her family.
Tolulope, iya ti ku, shugbon iya siku. (Your mum has left, but there are still other mothers available for you). No one can replace your mum, for your mum was very special. For her sake, The Lord will always provide you with motherly figures when you need one. The Lord will remember your mum for good. You, Tor, Yima, and Kume will never lack anything good in Jesus name. Amen.

To the Amos and Ogunseye family, I say "E ku ilede o" The Lord will comfort you. Eyin Yetunde a da in Jesus name. Amen

Adieu La-Yetunde, my friend and sister from another mother.
Love you. La-Banke

Mrs Yetunde Ogunseye was the MD/ CEO at ADHL where I served as a young corper before I became a full staff years after.
She has this contagious smile, such a resilient and hardworking woman and a lover of God.
I remember her advising me as a young married woman in her words "the money you earn isn't only yours,you must support even if he has"
May her sweet soul rest in peace and be with all that she left behind,Amen.

The Journey for Mama Tolu has just Begun!
Unfortunately, I did not have the privilege of ‘knowing’ Mrs. Ogunseye during her formative years. I only got to meet her, barely a couple of years ago. She is the mother-in-law of my direct nephew - Tor, the eldest son of my sister Mrs. Eva Kyaagba and Joe. I was immediately drawn to Tolu’s mum when we met. Her vivacity and sunny disposition were very palpable! My only regret is that I did not get to know her on better times. Only the Almighty Creator knows the purpose and duration of our individual carnal experience. May she have fulfilled her mission here on earth. May her subsequent journey to the ‘light’ be fruitful. May her spirit find eternal peace.

Tribute for Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye (née Amos). 1969-1973 Set

St. Bernardine’s Girls Grammar School, Oyo

With heavy hearts but grateful spirits we celebrate the life of our dear sister, friend, and schoolmate — Yetunde Ogunseye (née Amos).

Many of us here remember Yetunde from our cherished days at St. Bernardine’s Girls Grammar School, Oyo — those formative years when laughter filled our dormitories, when dreams were still finding their wings, and when friendships like hers were born and nurtured.

Yetunde was that rare friend who left an impression on everyone she met. She had a warmth that drew people in, a laugh that echoed through the corridors, and a heart that was always ready to help. She embodied grace, humility, and quiet strength — the kind that made you feel safe in her presence and encouraged by her words.

In school, she was more than a schoolmate; she was the glue that held so many of us together. She carried herself with calm dignity but had a joyful mischief that made her unforgettable. Whether during study hours, or those endless evening talks in the dorms, Yetunde was present — fully, sincerely, and with love.

As life took us beyond the gates of St. Bernardine’s, Yetunde continued to live out the values our school instilled in us — faith, discipline, and service. She became a pillar of strength to her family, a beacon of kindness in her community, and a loyal friend to those privileged to know her.

Her passing has left a silence that words can hardly fill, but her memory will forever live in our hearts — in every reunion photo, in every shared story, and in the ways she reminded us to love genuinely and live meaningfully.

Yetunde was not just part of our past — she is part of who we are today. Her life reminds us that success is not only in what we achieve, but in the love and light we bring to others along the way. This she exemplified through her immense contributions to the growth and successes recorded by the old girls’ Association of our Alma Mater.

As we say goodbye, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit rests peacefully in God’s embrace. She has completed her journey with grace, and though our hearts ache, we are thankful for the gift of her life and friendship.

Rest well, dear Yetunde.
You will always be remembered — not for how long you lived, but for how deeply you loved and how beautifully you touched us all.

Today, we remember our mother.
I called her "my sister"; daddy called her "mama Tolu", and to her, he was "Big Joe".

This is not the time nor place to make speeches. The bottom line is that we already miss her.

That said, she died well. She died a catholic true and true. She left us an example; a legacy. "I am catholic" she always, said. She was catholic in every way. She received the body of Chist till the end.

That's how every catholic; christian would wish to die acted out right before us. What an example!
Thank you, "Mama Tolu" for being an example to us.

Rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Rest in Perfect Peace.
Amen!
Adieu, Mama Tolu!

Mama Tolu,

I didn’t have the chance to meet her many times, but the few occasions we did meet at family events left a lasting impression. She carried such peace and calmness, and her warm, beautiful smile always stood out.

Even in your frailty, that same warmth and grace never faded.

I'm thankful for Tolu, her kindness and strength are a true reflection of her mum.
May her soul rest peacefully in the Lord’s embrace.

I have such fond memories of Auntie. When I lived with her and Uncle Crispin while I was at Queens College, she looked after me with so much care. I remember her kindness, her gentle way of managing me, even when I was being naughty and pretending to be sick just to skip school. She would indulge me for a bit, but she was also firm when it mattered. She had this calm presence that made you feel safe and cared for.

It’s sad to know she’s gone. I wish I had kept in touch, but I’ll always remember her warmth and her quiet strength. Goodbye, Auntie. May the Lord keep you in His eternal peace.

Madam (Mrs Yetunde Ogunseye) as I call her was my MD/CEO at ADHL. She was a good hardworking woman. I remembered then when ADHL financial year end was July 31st and from 1st of August, we do extra hours for about 1 month (we call it night shift) to get the accounts ready. She does not go home leaving her junior staff to work, NO, she will be there with us all night. She makes sure you have enough food and drinks to keep you all night, because you just finished a 9 hours job to jump to another. She was a dedicated woman. I was surprised out of her busy schedule, she attended my engagement ceremony not minding the distance, also words of advice and encouragement she gave me can never be forgotten. I thank God for her life, and pray that God Almighty grant her eternal rest, keep and protect all that she left behind in Jesus name. Amen.
RIP. MRS YETUNDE OGUNSEYE

A Tribute to My Dear Sister
Mrs Yetunde Olutoyin Ogunseye.

Though we were not very close, I thank God for the life of my dear sister. Her time on earth, though known fully only to God, was part of His divine plan and purpose.

I am grateful for the grace God gave her, for the people she touched, and for the legacy of faith she leaves behind.

We may not have shared many moments together, but I believe she fulfilled the purpose for which God created her.

May her soul find eternal rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May God comfort every member of the family and grant us strength to live in peace, love, and unity.

Rest well, dear sister, till we meet again at the feet of Jesus Christ. Amen

TRIBUTE TO LATE MRS. YETUNDE OLUTOYIN AINA OGUNSEYE (YETTY) NEE AMOS – MY CLASSMATE, FRIEND AND PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUE.
Yetty and I met on the queue at the Bursary department in the University of Lagos in September 1975 when were to pay our school fees and discovered that we both got admission to the department of Accounting. We became friends since then till her demise. During the student protest in 1978 “code named “Ali must go”, she stayed briefly with me in my parents’ house in Onike, Yaba Lagos during which she had good rapport with my late father.
After the orientation camp during our National Youth service Corps (NYSC) service year in 1978 we met on Lagos Island where I told her about my employment offer at Coopers and Lybrand and informed her about the firm’s trainee recruitment. We both trained at Coopers and Lybrand, after our National Youth service Corps (NYSC), to become Chartered Accountants.
Yetty was an intelligent lady, brilliant, fun loving, and compassionate, generous and valued relationship. She was a goal getter, honest, diligent and hardworking. She left the firm shortly after qualification to Honda Manufacturing (Nig.) Ltd Ota when I informed her of an opening for an accountant in that Company.
Yetty was a loyal friend. During my late father’s burial at Ijebu Imushin in March, 1997, she came but I never knew until the second day, because her car developed problems on the road and she got to Ijebu late while I had gone to where I stayed. She passed the night in my father’s house with my mum and other people. It was when I got there in the morning that I got to know and by that time she had gone back to Lagos.
Yetty was a loving wife, caring mother, and dotting grandmother, very humble and contented. She is a soldier for Christ and got to the pinnacle of her carrier as Managing Director and chief Executive officer of Associated Discount House Ltd. Yetty touched lives and lived a life of impact.
Yetty has gone to rest in the Lord, but her memories and good deeds shall always be remembered. I pray that the Almighty God will grant her soul eternal rest, comfort the loved ones left behind and grant the families the fortitude to bear her passage.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116: 15
Adieu Yetty! Adieu!

YETTY ,

I’m still in shock over your transition to higher glory. The tears are still flowing freely and refusing to dry up. Tears of sorrow for parting with my friend of 57 years, tears of joy that you are now in your heavenly mansion,away from the wicked world of pain and sorrow. The vacuum created by your demise in my heart can never be filled.

I make bold to say you will remain my friend and confidant..even in heaven. I can picture you doing the things you love...giving life and hope to others, dancing to the heavenly angelic rhythms. You were a rare and special gift to mankind, an angel in earthly body. You fought a good fight, you conquered all.

Death where is your sting, Grave where is your victory? Rest in perfect peace my dearest, loving, kind, generous, humourous and wonderful friend cum sister.

Cherish, till we meet again at Jesus feet.ADIEU

Your childhood friend...

Oh, Mrs. Ogunseye. YOAO!
I am glad now that I saw you again in Port Harcourt when you called to say you were coming to that side of the country a couple of years ago.
Always with a smiling face - even when scolding 😆 Ever a mother, yet looked so young and beautiful. Absolutely a brilliant person and resilient.
Your faith made you a most beautiful person. Thank you for helping my wife, Chimezie, transition with denomination after our marriage. Focus must always be on our Lord Jesus Christ.
I trust our Lord Jesus to keep His promise: He will never leave you nor forsake you even till the end of time. Rest in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Tolu, we all knew you from ADH days because you were the light in Mrs. Ogunseye’s sky. You made YOAO proud absolutely. With you, we will remember her. Till our own time is done here. Or the Lord Jesus Comes. Thank you for looking after your mom, our lovely Mrs. YOAO

A tribute to Mrs Yetunde Ogunseye, FCA

The news of Yeti's demise and exit to glory was indeed a rude shock and a very sad one that left many members of SWAN in utter disbelief.
No no not Yeti how, when , why reechoed vehemently. The realisation soon dawned that Yeti was an exemplary young lady, a devout catholic who strongly believed in living a life of dedication to Jesus Christ with love grace and reverence. She served as SWAN's Treasurer (2006 - 2011) and was deeply committed. In addition she regularly supported and anchored some of SWAN's activities and programmes.Yeti was a lively person,ever smiling
with highly spirited mien and disposition and there was never a dull moment with her. Yeti was a woman of faith, wisdom, patience and a quiet philanthopist. She loved, cared and lived a remakable and impactful life.
We thank God that she was greatly loved, she enjoyed life in whatever way possible and was a very good fantastic dancer.
May Yeti's sweet loving soul repose peacefully in the Bosom of God.May her children and all who mourn be divinely consoled and comforted Amen.

In Loving Memory of a Remarkable Leader – Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye

It’s hard to put into words the impact of someone who shaped not just my career, but the person I’ve become. Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye was more than a boss—she was a beacon of strength, wisdom, and generosity. Her assertiveness and professionalism left a lasting imprint on everyone fortunate enough to have worked with her.

She believed in me when I needed it most, and her bold transparency taught me what true leadership looks like. She embodied grace and grit in equal measure—a woman of substance, truly obinrin bi okunrin.

I’m deeply grateful to have known her. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched, the standards she set, and the courage she inspired.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I met Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye in 2012 while I was searching for a job. She was introduced to me by my husband. When I learned that the person I was to meet was a woman, I hesitated at first—because of the common myth that working with a female boss could be difficult. But I summoned the courage to go for the interview, and after speaking with her, I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. Her calmness, warmth, and sincerity were a complete contrast to everything people said about female bosses.

“Madam,” as I fondly called her, was more than a boss—she was a mother figure to me and to everyone around her during my four years of working with her. Not once did she ever raise her voice or speak harshly. She was kind, loving, patient, and everything good that words can describe. She was that one woman I proudly spoke about whenever people complained about “difficult female bosses.”

Even after I left her employment, we stayed in touch. She would often call to check on me, my family, and my child. She always reminded me to keep practicing the two things she often emphasized: praying the Rosary as a family and maintaining proper financial record-keeping.

On Sunday, 19th October 2025, I received the shocking news of her passing. I couldn’t cry or scream—it felt so unreal. Memories of our time together flooded my heart, and words completely failed me.

All I can say is that Heaven has gained a sweet, loving, and precious soul. It has been so hard to put these words down or comment under the many pictures I’ve seen shared in her memory, but I’m slowly coming to terms with the reality that she now rests peacefully in God’s bosom.

Eternal rest grant unto Mrs. Yetunde Ogunseye, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.

To Mrs. Tolu Kyaagba and the entire family, I pray that God grants you the strength and fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. May His comfort and peace surround you all during this difficult time.

My darling mummy Tee as I fondly called you, you were my Neighbour in Dolphin Estate and became my big sister and I became a member of your family. Your home was my home, I had unfettered access. My darling mummy Tee, your kindness and heart of love was exemplary. Your dedication to your Job at Associated Discount house was inspiring.
I remember the many late nights and even the sleep overs in your office cos you had so much work to do, I would run into your house in the morning when I heard the sound of your car driving into your compound after a Marathon all night working session at yiur office asking you to rest and get some sleep please but no you would shower change and be off again.
You were just amazing and super dedicated .
You gave your all.
Your heart overflowed with kindness and a beautiful love for God. Very inspiring. .. Mummy Tee, you and I shared many amazing memories and moments, I will never forget, I ran to you when I needed to make life changing decisions and you never let me down. you became an inherent part of my life from my early 30’s till now in my 60’s. Thank you for sharing your love with me and allowing me be a big part of your family especially my baby Toluwalope and Daddy Tee of blessed memory. You loved me unconditionally and I loved you even more.
Your memories will forever remain a blessing . .. I will miss you Terribly my big Sis

Aunty Yetunde (Mama T), it's very sad news to hear, you were in all honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met, nicer than some of my actual blood relatives.

There are so many nice memories, God bless you Aunty and it might sound cliche, but I know that you are resting with the Almighty because if anyone deserves to hear these words "Well done o good and faithful servant" you definitely top the list.

She was there during my daughter's baptism, she always calls my wife to ask of her welfare. She always shares her thoughts and prayers at every opportunity. I saw her cry when she attended the funeral of a young man who died of car accident that broke her heart. A strong woman, she cares. She was part of my youth formation stage. Words fail me at this point. May God grant Tolu and the entire family the fortitude at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Dear Mrs. Ogunseye

Yetty girl, it's still very difficult to come to terms with this news about you 😕 😢.

Where does one start the story 🤔. Is it 1969 that we met. Our traverse through secondary school. The visits to our homes and parents during the holidays 🤔.

Our university experience (you were the one who processed my admission into Unilag) 🤔.

Is it the ICAN membership journey (you got the sponsors who recommended my ICAN studentship. I never met them till date) 🤔.

Our weddings and attendance.
Our marriages and encouragement. Our works and life generally 😌. The shared dreams ✨️ 🙏. Oluwa seun in everything 🙏.

You were a good Christian and Prayer warrior. I will therefore say, " the heavens have gained a Saint".

We shall meet again at the feet of Jesus 🙏.

Rest in peace, Yetunde Ogunseye ( nee Amos) 🙏

ADIEU TO MY ONE AND ONLY COLLEGE TWIN OF 56 YEARS
Twin mi as I fondly called you since 1969 YETUNDE OLUTOYIN OGUNSEYE NEE AMOS
It has been soooo painful to write this farewell message I feel so heavy at heart. I am writing with my eyes full of tears but I must do it for it is the best way I know for now to bid you farewell
The journey started in January 1969 when all new comers came into St. Bernardine's Girls Grammar School Oyo for a 5year journey to WAEC
I will always thank God for that memorable day when we noticed ourselves as two young girls that could start a strong lasting friendship and I thank God that the friendship got stronger each day through out
Twin mi was(it is paining me as I am addressing you in past tense) was a very brilliant student We all gave kudos to her for sailing through the almighty WAEC results of our set that was wounded by the combined authority
She went for her A levels at Ibadan Grammar School where her excellent performance earned her the senior girl of their set in such a competitive environment
She proceeded to the University where she performed so brilliantly Yetunde was a chartered accountant she also had many academic attainment to her qualifications
She occupied many enviable positions of high repute
In the family front she was the daughter of Baba and Mama Amos a very good wife to Mr. Crispin Ogunseye a devoted mother to her children and a loving grandmother to her grandchildren
Twin mi was an epitome of wisdom knowledgeable in almost everything even at any point in time wise beyond her years. She was a woman of strength with high moral standards. She would listen to complaints with genuine attentiveness and would respond with discernment and perception
Twin me was a philanthropist to the core.... I will never forget all those your gifts and memorable times when weused to have lengthy discussions. Your impact on my children and the encouraging words could not be measured They were all a delight
I will always remember and cherish the roles you played when I lost my husband when you and Toyin Amore came from Lagos leaving all your busy schedule to pay me visits I wondered how you heard that early and acted so promptly even at the time when there was no GSM
She was a rare gem of inestimable value a great encourager who would draw out the gifts and talents hidden in people
Yetunde was a mentor a role model a mother a grandmother a highly responsible leader a teacher and a guide to many
Though I knew you were ill for a while I still held on to the fact that with God all things are possible but God knows best. Your death came as a very rude shock
You will always be remembered by
we your friends
the family you left behind
your Benedy classmates 69/73
St. Bernardine's old students
WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I look forward to meeting her again at Resurrection Morñing and the beginning of eternity with our God..

I met Mrs. Ogunseye in the early 90s just after i qualified as a Chartered Accountant from Coopers and Lybrand. We happened to live in the same block of flats in Ebute Metta. She was a very amiable person and she took me as her aburo and we had a very good relationship until I left the Estate and we lost contact thereafter. I am sad to learn of her demise and pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort her family at this time. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

My dear Mum, I'm heartbroken by your loss. We didn't have many one-on-one physical talks, but your impact was immense. You & Big-mum were truly everywhere for my wedding in 2018 representing, and I'll never forget that. Since then, your calls just to check up on me, always asking for Mum and singing into my ears to always pray, meant so much. I love you, Mum. I will miss your great smile and your soothing words over the call terribly. Adieu, Mum. Rest in peace.
