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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.....

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Titilayomi and children and extended family.Amen.You will forever be missed egbon mi atata. Your sister from another mother , Afolasade Ajulo.

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

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.
