Oh death...where is thy sting?...The news of sudden/ untimely demise hit me like a big bullet

My dearest. Debla as I used to call you & u call me. An' Toyin..... My dearest Àbúrò,paddy,goon,gist partner....So d journey of 63 good years of having u as my Ẹ̀bínẹ́yìn has now come to an end? No, because you are n will forever be in my heart.

You were such a lively exhuberant,bobbling, handsome,pimples-free-face, with dimpled chubby cheeks, encouraging smiles,loving, caring,auscidious,bold,brilliant,gentle, easy-going, resilient,dutiful, responsible vibrant,quintessential pleasant in all ramifications of life. When we were both on video chat on February 25th and March 1st...you didn't appear sick....O ye Ọlọrun.

Debla, am missing and will miss you forever as a week never went by without video chatting or talking...but my consolation is that when we meet again on Resurrection Day...we shall continue from where we stopped.

Continue with your well deserved eternal RIPP in the Bosom of your Creator/Redeemer.

Sleep on my dearest Àbúrò. Your Sister...Toyin Oworu

Dad, it is sadden and with heavy heart ❤️ to still believe that you have left us. You gone too soon! I will hold on to and cherished the little time we shared together 💞😍 forever. I know that you have now gone to rest with the Lord. Rest on, my Daddy.

From, Mrs Eniola Odunlami (nee Tychus).

My mind keeps drifting back to those sweltering Lagos afternoons while we were in the secondary school. The smell of chlorine, the sun beating down, and the pure, unadulterated joy of plunging into the swimming pool. We used to make the rounds of the Federal Palace, Airport, and Ikoyi Hotels. I remember all the splashing, diving, and flipping. I remember teaching you how to do a proper dive, which you eventually mastered. I remember your infectious smile, and the conversations over poolside snacks washed down with Coca-Cola, which, invariably, you funded. You never made me feel funny over your picking all the bills. I’ll forever cherish those memories.

Goodbye, my dear friend, who was more like a kid brother to me. You’ll be deeply missed.

This hurts!

Debola If I could write a story it would be the greatest ever told, of a kind and loving person you are with a heart of gold. I could write a million pages but there is one thing I would say how much we love you and miss you. I still can not get over your passing because it is still a shock to me. Debola you are a firm foundation in your caring for others. A sturdy hand to hold onto in times of stress and strife. You will always remain in our heart. May your soul rest in peace. From Deacon Davidson Folarin Thomas

Uncle we may not have been close but whenever i was in your presence i must say you were a cool guy. Smooth walk , smooth talk and just loving no matter what. So rest in perfect peace ! Gone but never forgotten 🕊️🕊️
