Tokunbo Ayowole The most loving father and husband you'll ever meet
funmilayo Samo Oyedeji !! It still feels like a dream. You were so caring,amiable , organized and with a large heart. No dull moment with you. Iyioluwa will miss her 'daddy shark doo doo' sessions with you every nite. They call us Tom and Jerry but no-one could come in between us. You were a brother indeed. I didn't know it was a parting gift you gave me less than two weeks ago Well, death has taken the body ,God your soul but my mind will hold the memories and my heart will keep the love. Our faith tells me that we will meet again. Goodnight my dear Ajosho..This really hurts!!!! Your Afunmibaby. Funmi Samo
Your sudden departure is shocking and no one can explain but God knows about it. My memory date back to Ereko Methodist School, Lagos and King George Street. Your determination for success in life has been there from childhood and you kept pushing to achieve more till the Lord decided to take you home. Love you brother but Jesus loves you more. R...
Deji Olubiyi ! Ajoso ! What a very painful and shocking exit indeed !! An amiable ,brilliant ,fashionable, loving and accommodating man. My dear brother and never my brother-in law who will say to me ,epele' sister ten times in 30mins whenever I come visiting!! OMG! Nonetheless I thank God for His special grace and favour upon your life in rec...
Yinka Ayowole My RooRoo…Easy to like person, friendly to both young and old. I really don’t get it but God knows best. Who will I ‘galu’ now? Who will call me bully? Who is going to be cracking and sending all those rib cracking and annoying stuff on the group? Our Chief ‘Dada’ has left both his Dada sisters 😩. May your soul Rest In Peace 😇.
funmilayo Samo Deji, it is difficult to write about you in past tense. I can't still wrap my head around the fact that you have gone to rest. 007 DJ Bond. With you, there was no dull moment with your sense of humour and your tenacity of solving problems was next to none. 'Bo se wa niyen', as you would say.You passed on gloriously without any suffering, but I am devastated that you left damn too early. The last gift i received from you was a new cloth that was a bit big and you asked me to adjust it. Now i know you were just telling me about a new big responsibility that I have to fit into now. Ajosho Ekun, Omo eni ti won bi re. Rest well brother. Dayo Samo
RIP Oyedeji.😭😭😭 May the soul of the departed rest in peace. O ye baba God. May the almighty God comfort Titilayo and the children you left behind. Deepest sympathy from Wale and Tutu Ajileye Sun Re.
Huuuuuu, I cannot even begin to understand what is happening right now,but I would like to offer my prayer and condolences, A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves 💔😢 for they are still alive in our hearts, through us,they live on,My Baba Oko Hummmmm,who is going to be calling me IYAWO IS A GIRL Again? I remember when...
Deji Oro! This was one of the fond names we called you while we were growing up. I can never forget the times 'we six' spent together. Your warm, lively and cheerful nature lit up those times, never a dull moment with you around. That your caring attitude no be today o. Hmm, I got the rudest shock of my life from that call with Bola to say you ha...
Odubiyi Oduwole DEJI ,The day you left, was a day no one expected. No one could understand why. No chance to even say goodbye. But deep inside I know that you are okay. No matter what people have to say about you. I knew all the good things you used to do. This is my goodbye message, letting you know that I'll miss you...Continue to rest in peace💔💔
funmilayo Samo Egbon Deji,your departure came to me as a rude shock.But in everything we give thanks to God for He alone understands the reason why and who are we to question Him.God Almighty will comfort us all.May your soul continue to rest in Peace. Oguntomi Aderohunmu
My Egbon as I would always call you, the shock was unimaginable, unbearable but who are we to question God, am sure you are at a better place with your maker. Titi is devastated but I know you will want her to be strong at this time for the children. Rest on Oyedeji on the bosom of your maker till we meet to part no more.
Tope Peters How do you even begin to write a tribute to your dear friend, a loving husband and a caring father whose sun set at noon? A young dad who was snatched away before he could start to see his fruits blossom. The words are just so hard to find to describe this kind of intense sorrow and deep shock. Oyedeji was a friend who was always there when you needed a friend. Things aren’t supposed to happen this way, death is cruel and life is so unfair. But who are we to question God? “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord”. Oyedeji’s sudden passing reminds us all that life is so fleeting and we should take the opportunity we have to do as much good as we can. At any moment, what we’ve been blessed with can be taken away. Somehow, God gave Oyedeji the wisdom these past few years to start putting his affairs in order, spending quality time with his family and focusing only on what matters. It was as if he knew what was coming. He has run his race and now he’s gone to rest with the Lord. Our prayer is that the Lord comfort the grieving family he left behind, mend their broken hearts and turn their sadness into joy. May the Lord help them find meaning in all this chaos and magnify his love in their lives. Adieu our dear friend till we meet again! Tope and Bimbola Ogunyankin
Life has so many unanswered questions. Such is the news of your sudden transition Deji. Life is a battle field. you fought with zeal and labor. As a family man you are such a supportive husband to your darling wife Titi. I remember on one occasion I said to you in the presence of Titi that to get the best from our wife (a fi ka se won ni Arike) yo...
The all rounded uncle that every nephew wishes for, there truly wasn't a dull moment with you! The vibes were ever flowing and you were always willing to light up the room with your radiant and vibrant personality. You will truly be missed Uncle Deji, adieu!
funmilayo Samo Brother Mi as I fondly call you.Yes I know death is inevitable but I never knew it's going to be this soon. My heart aches and my tears flow because no one can understand what it meant to me to lose you.Your untimely exit is very difficult for me to handle.How can I explain it that you can go to the extreme to make me happy and comfortable.But in everything I give thanks to God. You may be gone from my sight but you are never gone from my heart.Rest on brother Mi........ Oguntomi Adebimpe
Ochanya Dan-ugo With Deji there was never a dull moment. Such an an adorable and electrifying brother! Rest in the blossom of your maker dear Brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 1Corinthians 15:55-57
Pastors Wonu and Toks Adetayo: in memories of Oyedeji Olubiyi, a multifaceted being. To us you were like a Son (“Abuluyi”), always a Big Boy ( “Deji Boy”), yet a Brother, Partner and Encourager. What a rare combination. You are a multi skilled entrepreneur. As your Pastor we can tell that you always seek for higher knowledge and open enough to ch...
Uncle, it was a shock to me hearing about your demise. But in all things we should give thanks. We cant question God. Rest in peace.
It came as a rude shock and very unbelievable....uptil now l cannot bring my self to accept the fact that you were no more. Deji continue to rest in peace and l pray that thanks Almighty God will grant us all the fortitude to bear this great loss. Adieu brother... until we meet to part no more. Oro yi ye Olorun!!!!!So sad indeed.
funmilayo Samo What do I write about Oyedeji Ajoso Olubiyi my 'sweetrat '!! when we have our cat and mouse quarrels , my sweetheart when we are in our usual happy jolly mood as we were on that fateful day of your home call. Your passing remains a rude shock to me because we both shared jokes in high spirit until 9.40pm . It was unimaginable when I received a distress call from your wife shortly before midnight that you were being taken to hospital!!! It was unbelievable when I got to the hospital and saw your lifeless body!!!!! Life Ephemeral!!!. My Egbon and boyfriend of over two decades ! We have shared both high and low moments . I will cherish so many good memories that God gave us the opportunity to share . Deji...warm and accommodating with an indomitable spirit and enthusiasm to enjoy life with his family and friends. He is admired by many who knew him. Just wondering if Deji knew that his time was near since last year because his admonition to all has been that"Peace was a better option than war or confrontation" God will strengthen and comfort your wife,Titilayo, your boys, Bosola,Bayode and Busayomi and the entire family. Oyedeji, I pray that God almighty rests your soul and grant us all the grace to bear your loss. Adieu Ronnie D! **Foluso Ajulo-Moses.
I call you Gigi.. you were such a great friend, even after such along time.. we picked up where we left. Those days at FESTAC we were all inseparable. Laolu was your best-man, I remember he was almost stuck at work and when he appeared oh the joy that you displayed.. Gigi, I remember that weekend we came visiting, Titi cooked and spoilt us.. we...
Kayode Oluokun Brother of mine, if I had known this would be our last moment together, I would have held on to you for months. I still can't wrap my senses around the fact that you are with our God and Mummy. I keep imagining that Mummy will send you back saying "Uncle Kay wants you". Rest on my brother, I know Mummy and Baba Deacon are taking good care of you. My Lanran, I love and miss you bro.....
DJ, Some news in life are certainly so hard to believe but we take solace in your selfless lifestyle , compassion without borders and unlimited ability to annihilate a state of ennui around your loved ones and associates. You taught me to believe in myself, you fought my battle at will and taught me how to leverage in times of adversity . I remembe...
Vivian Okolo Uncle D, Your loss remains such an unbelievable shock and still very difficult to take in. You were a gentleman and a great friend and caring husband to my friend and sister, a loving and caring dad to your sons too. You meant a lot to family and friends and always willing to offer a helping hand and words of advice. I am glad I met you but wished you had spent more time with us. Who will now encourage your dear Mrs. Okolo with her corporate looks? I will surely miss you. May God grant you eternal repose. Adieu!
Words cannot express how much pain and sadness I feel. You loved and cared about me like your own daughter. God is the only one who can explain why this is happening at this time. May your soul rest in everlasting peace. Farewell Uncle Deji and May God keep and comfort your family in such a difficult time. Abigail Benyah
Taiwo Olubiyi-Ade Baba Mujee!! I can’t believe I’m writing this, my heart is so heavy. This wasn’t the plan, but if this is my opportunity to say goodbye then I would do so knowing that I was blessed to be your niece. I just saw you, I just danced with you. I can’t believe my uncle is gone, you were a great man, a humble man, a kind soul. You took me as your daughter, I was a VIP anytime you were around, you made always made sure I had a place to sleep when it was a full house, always made sure I’ve eaten and always made sure I had something to drink, you looked out for me every single time. You were a great man, you were more than an uncle to me…you were a father and a friend even a brother. You always said my husband would have to go through you and I would always laugh, I wish I told you there and then how much I wanted you to be a part of that journey. I never felt the absence of a father and for that I thank you, I never got to tell you how important you were and still are to me, deep down I know that you knew. Our last conversation would never be forgotten, I would never forget the things you said to me. Your memory would live on, you might be gone but you would never be forgotten, I would tell my kids about my dancing uncle, my uncle that understood the concept of family, my uncle that touched the life and heart of everyone that came in contact with him. We would remember you how we know you would want to be remembered, your soul would live on forever in our hearts. While we mourn and say our farewells we know that we have the Lord with us to renew our strength, we should also take comfort in knowing that you fulfilled your mission on earth, in knowing that you put your all in everything that you did. Brother mi Taju, your death came as a shock to us all and we know you are resting in the bosom of the lord. I miss you so much it hurts the pain would go away but I would never stop missing you. I love you always and forever. Lolu aka Omo Mujeeee.
Deji, your demise came to me as a ride shock and very hard to believe ! How are the mighty fallen!! The pain traversed the spines into the marrow,very painful indeed.

Abiodun Olubiyi Apena 2 as I fondly call you and you in return call me Apena 1, so painful you have to go without saying goodbye to me, I really appreciate the memories we shared together as brothers as from when we were kindergartens up till last year you left America to Nigeria, but we have a lot of plans together that you just didn’t wait to fulfill or make the plan to work, God knows best. Sleep on brother till we meet again on resurrection day. My heart is heavy now.
Deji, Oyedeji Olubiyi , your death is a bitter pill to swallow. Sibe Oluwa Dara. You came, you saw , and conquer, glory to God in the highest. I will miss all about you. Very dear , & lively to be with. This death came at the time we have all grown to reminiscent the good childhood times together , and re unite as one family. Very sad . Sibe Oluwa...
Olubukola Adekunle The Fantastic Six, was all we had growing up with you. Your Brotherly love and care are the memories you left me and us with. You were quick to plan our time and days during the holiday season and never left us with a dull moment, your jokes and the pranks you pulled on us all lingers and will till eternity. You were so full of life that, nothing prepared us for this. I am eternally grateful to God for every little thing about you that made me see life is short and we need to spend it with God and be wise. My Egbon from another mother, I will forever remember your kindness and your thoughtfulness, always willing to advice and lend a helping hand when you can. ‘We’ will surely miss you but, your memories lives on in our hearts. Thank You for loving us so. Till we meet at Jesus feet. I Love You. BBFWY Cookie
Daddy Bosola was a defiition of a caring, generous, kind hearted and a wonderful family man. He always make sure we are very comfortable everytime we visit.

I still can’t believe I am writing a tribute because of your passing.

You sacrificed so much to be present and there for us all through a difficult time last ...

Irikefe Olooku Deji Olubiyi was gone too soon, you were a loving brother and friend indeed. I have known you for a few years now but only got intimate with you just the last week of June 2021. You hosted me in your home during the annual national conference of NOA in Lagos. You made my stay worthwhile, you and your beloved wife Titi took good care of me. You have gone too soon that you never allowed me to reciprocate your kind gesture. We take solace in the fact that as God people He does whatsoever pleases Him and we know all things works together for Our good. Adieu, my brother and friend rest in the bosom of our father in heaven.
A great uncle and a great father and you were so fun to be around. You were kind, hospitable, loving and generous, and we all loved you very much. May the Lord be with you and with your spirit. I’ll miss you a lot. Ajayi Olatubosun
Franca Oluwaniyi We found in Deji such a fantastic gentleman anybody will be proud to associate with. Such a pleasant soul who would not even as much as hurt a fly. The good moments we shared together as families, especially when you recently visited Abuja, we will forever cherish in our memories. We will miss you sorely and it’s so so painful to have to say goodbye. It’s all still like a dream and one can’t believe that we won’t see you on this side again. We are comforted in the fact that you’ve gone to be with the Lord and we shall surely meet at His feet on the resurrection morning. “Oh death, where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory” - 1 Cor. 15:55 Franca & Femi Oluwaniyi
Foluso Ajulo A Tribute to a Senior Brother from Another Mother. Bro Oyedeji Olubiyi (Egbon mi atata). Bro Oyedeji, I am still in shock over your demise,it's still like a dream that will soon be over. Your sudden departure without saying good-bye hurts, it really hurts egbon mi atata, you had a good sense of humor that drew people to you, your cheerfulness was captivating, unending generosity was one of your unique attributes .You were my cheer leader, urging me to step up my game when others didn't have patience to listen and understand my dream and my passion.you were there as the North star.You were my brother from another mother.Thank you egbon mi atata for believing in me, thank you for making me to latent abilities,without you egbon mi atata the story of Nature Bloom,my fast moving product would not be a reality today, My wish was for you to live long enough to see how this dream you helped to nurture will fly in Africa and beyond .But then God our loving father has other purposes as he decided it was time to to take one of his most cherished children home to ride on the wings of the Angels, We can not question God.We submit to his will. I am grateful for your labour of love to me and all who had the opportunity of knowing you.My fervent prayer is for God to rest your soul, May God console Sis. Titilayomi and children and extended family.Amen.You will forever be missed egbon mi atata. Your sister from another mother , Afolasade Ajulo.
Our darling Commander!!! Loving husband and best friend to my dear Titi, you will be definitely be missed. A gentle, warm, kind hearted and enterprising man, a great father and friend to the boys. We will praise God for your journey here with us and count on your memories to be the consolation to the Olubiyi and Egundeyi families.
May his soul Rest In Peace and the good Lord comfort All🙏🏾
This is too sudden but God knows better. You were so full of life and wisdom. God will grant Titi, the Children and siblings the fortitude to move on. We love and will miss you. Yemi Giwa
"When we are down to nothing God is up to something" with that said our hearts are really heavy for your loss Deji. Still in shock but who are we to ask "why God". You are a special breed that lived up to your promise to rewrite things. You have a huge heart and all that mattered was the Love and Happiness of your wife and children. Thank you for ...
Emmanuel Efuntayo What a rude shock to learn of the demise of my fashion designer and Christian brother. Well, I take courage in the saying of the Sage ( Chief Awolowo) that it is not life that matters but the courage put into it. Brother Deji had put courage into life, done his best and he is obviously resting from the vicissitudes of life. Adieu Brother Deji until we meet to part no more. Ibukun Efuntayo
Dear Bro Deji, I'm greatly shocked at the news of your sudden demise. As much as death is an inevitable part of life's journey, knowing you're gone is so painful and heart wrenching. You will be fondly remembered for your happy, jolly, pleasant and fun disposition. Thank you for leaving your own imprints. And for your loved ones I pray that the p...
Segun K Brother mi, we meet to part and also part in order to meet again. You gave me the warning shot too soon. Hmmmm. Hope to see you whenever my time comes. You are unique.
I really did not want to write this because I didn’t want it to be true. If this is a dream I’m ready to wake up. Uncle Deji, you were the people’s man. I will never forget all the childhood memories we created. You were more than an Uncle. You were that Uncle that made every moment a fun filled experience. You were that Uncle that lit up the fou...
Rasaq Abiola R.I.P 😭 to the most Caring BOSS Mr Olubiyi 😭😭I will never forget your impact in my life especially in terms of Advice, Caring and many more 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Rest In Perfect Peace 💔💔
Ronnie Ronnie, What can Siba (your Sibalistic Siba, as you fondly call her) and I say, other than we are shocked beyond words. Our only consolation is in 1Thess 4:13-14 “But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose agai...
Huuuuuuum........brother Deji I can't forget your words of encouragement to me, rest in the bossom of God Almighty.
With our deepest love and sympathy we remember the passing on to Glory of Late Oyedeji Olubiyi. It is our prayer to Almighty God that may his gentle soul continue resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till eternity. A great soul and a great personality has departed, but the memories shall never fade. And, may God give the children, wife...
Deji m’y brother So sorry to hear about your untimely passing . I remember you as a humble individual ( at that time you were at British School New Delhi) and you came to my wedding with your parents Ayo and Yinka . Those were happy times and indeed our prayers are with you for your deliverance into gods care. You will be missed bu your loving fa...
Daddy Bosola! What can I say? I am inundated with memories of your uniqueness, your selflessness, your kindness, your ability to carry others' burden while putting yours aside? We met as neighbors but quickly became family like, ahhh ile nje eniyan! Hard to believe I'm writing a eulogy for you this early but we can not question the Maker. I pray a...
Deji, your sudden exit came as a shock as you were the last person that could cross my mind to exit this soon. Your were always full of life and ensuring that everyone was happy around you. There was no dull moment with you, you brightened everywhere you entered; I remember your teases😀. You will be greatly missed. May your gentle soul rest in th...
I can't ever forget your brotherly love . You were just too interested to see me grow through those turbulent times.....you cared so much about me, taught me how to face disappointments with new vigour ....your caring attitude had no boundaries. Never saw your death coming and still so painful. God Almighty will continue to uphold the family left...
Uncle D, I remember you in a very special way today with so much nostalgia. We would have all been together today celebrating and laughing together as usual. You really left us too soon and too shocked. You were such a gentleman, an enourager, a motivator, a caring, frank and supportive husband, father and friend. You never ceased to share you...
Uncle D, It is still difficult to come to terms with not seeing you again. Your exit remains an unwelcome shock and the vacuum you created remains. We have been taught not to question God even though it is sometimes difficult to practice. Your legacy remains. The lives you have touched will never forget your vibrant, sweet and ever ready to lend...
I thank God for your time on this earth. My hope is that some day we will meet in heaven and continue our fellowship with our maker together. The Lord will continue to look after every one you left behind both family and friends.
