I won’t be surprised if certain angels in heaven are
already bending over with laughter some moments after your arrival.
Your sense of
humour was in a class of its own.
Every one of us had a unique name – a name we
answered with a smile when you called.
It’s difficult to say exactly what profession you were
because though you were an officer diligent to duty, I have furniture in my
house that remind me of your skilled craftsmanship and creative genius.
I have
memories of bringing loudspeakers from secondary school to you for repairs. Not
only did you fix those speakers, you created a different casing that if I
didn’t witness the process in part, I would have joined others in saying you bought a new one
for us.
You inspired my drumming by teaching me in a rather
unique way that you either know how to do something well or not at all.
The last time we saw, you gave me yet another
number to send the monthly bulk SMS to.
You weren’t trying to encourage me; you
simply just believed in me.
Your action instructed in me a sense of
responsibility.
Thank you.
Gifted hands, humor-bank, creative mind, loving husband,
jovial uncle and friendly dad are just a few words that describe you.
We may
not remember all that you were now but as time passes and this wound heals, I am
sure memories of you will describe your person a bit more.
We will remember you
and with a smile on our faces too.
You have left behind a VERY SWEET woman and WELL trained children.
Aunty Bisi (Mum Ife) – your very humble wife, Ife and Ike – your brilliant son
and pretty daughter are going to miss you a lot more than the rest of us but be rest
assured, they have gained a much larger family because of you.
I’ll pause here Uncle.
Rest well.

involved in a road traffic accident on Tuesday 10th November 2015. From what we
are told, most souls on board the I'll fated automobile lost their lives
including our beloved uncle...
