ONE YEAR GONE LIKE YESTERDAY. I MISSED YOU EACH TIME I RECALL YOUR NAME EVERY SUBUHI PRAYER ALONG WITH OTHERS GONE !!!!! YOU WILL BE MISSED.

I really miss you grandpa, you were so good at encouraging and reinvigorating me at my weakest moment. Rest in peace.

Tomiwa, we are so very sorry for your loss. We send our condolences and pray that God wraps His arms around you and your family and provide the strength and comfort that only He can provide. We didn’t know your father, but we can’t help but know that he was an AMAZING man when we look at the man, husband and father that you are. We love you guys.

To the Aroyewun’s, I am so sorry to hear about Daddy passing. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you at this time. I hope the fond memories you have of Dad will keep you during this difficult time. Please accept our deepest condolences. May Daddy continue to rest in Power. Amen.

Still shock Big daddy no longer with us!!There are not enough words I can say to describe just how important Big daddy was to our family and what a powerful influence he was and continues to be…his smile and kind eyes brought life into the room. May Allah s.w.t grant him Al Jannatul-Firdaus and forgive his sins. May Allah grant him eternal peace.????????????????????????

Dear Daddy-Aroyewun, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to meet you. Your words were always inspiring, and your life ministered greatly to me. I pray that you rest in perfect peace sir, and I pray that the Lord’s comfort and peace surround your entire family, Amen.

Your sudden departure filled me with sadness. I remember seeing you 13 or 14 months ago after so long. My son and I spent the afternoon with you talking on the rooftop. You congratulated me on my published book and gave me a token. I remember my uni days and staying at the house with Morayo. You opened your home to me and treated us all, her friends, as your children. You always had time to talk with is, your "fellow colleagues" as you called us. I am grateful to have seen you again after so long and will not forget that afternoon. May God receive your soul and keep your memories fresh in the minds of all who knew you. Adieu daddy Aroyewun!

Sincere condolences for the loss. May God hold the family in this difficult moment????????

May Allah Subhana wa tahala forgive the sins of Alhaji Alade Aroyewun, pardon his shortcomings and admit him into aljannat firdaus. He was the pillar and the central focus of the entire Aroyweun and Salam family. A great man who wove and anchored his entire maternal and paternal families together into one. A rare gem like none. Today, I reflect and reminisce on out activities together. I was 11 years old and although, I did many entrance examinations into High schools, none really admitted as I performed poorly. It was him who told my grandmother that Mukail Aroyehun, his second cousin is now the Principal of Ansar-ud-deen College Offa. That is how he I started high school. He left his work at Federal Mortgage Bank and took me to Federal School of Arts and Science to seek admission for me after my School cert performance was not good enough to admit me into a university. Unlike my Dad, he never lost hope in me and was never harsh to me. Just last November, when my Son Shakirudeen wanted to marry, there was no one else for me to stand-in. He accepted the family of the bride into his home and stood for my family. And on wedding day, he asked for the wife on behalf of Shakirudeen with an uncommon dignity. His entire family, children and grandchildren from the US, from the UK came for the wedding at cost of millions of Naira. Can one ask for anything more from a grandfather? Ever with a listening ear, offering to help wherever and whenever possible. Alhaji Aroyewun never gives up on anyone of us. Despite what my brother Shola has done in the past, he took him close to himself and poured his love on him. I can go on to my sisters, on and on. One other thing, I will like to mention is that my grandmother loves him dearly and he received love back from almost all of us. The entire family respected him and accepted him as the Patriarch of the family. He will so much be missed. As time goes on, one may still cry again as I am doing now.

My condolences to you and your family. May he Rest In Peace.

May his gentle soul rest in the bossom of Almighty

This is still a shock to me- I’m just hearing this morning that you’re no more. So many memories together. It was so easy to talk and walk with someone so unassuming, but with so much knowledge and wisdom. I’ll really miss you. Good bye

May the Lord grant Daddy eternal rest

Daddy you are a colossus, I am privileged to have you as my father-in-law. Your humility and simplicity is out of this world. I have not seen you flustered by any situation, you almost have a solution for all problems.  You are also a man of faith and you taught us the need to stay close to our Creator, thank you so much for this. I will fondly remember all the beautiful moments we shared together. Rest in Peace Daddy.

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. Only a few months ago were you smiling, jubilating and celebrating with me and the rest of the family on my wedding day. Yes, this is type of memories I have of you. Happy memories. Whenever we visited you in Lagos or spoke on the phone, you were always happy to see me, and hear from me. This made it so easy to talk to you even though we are ages apart. You top the list of best grandpa's. May Allah have mercy on you and May God give the family the strength to bear the loss.

May Papa’s soul Rest In Perfect Peace Almighty God will be with you , your children and your siblings you will not be afraid. Eyin won a dara o. Again I send my condolences

May the Lord Comfort you and the family in Christ Jesus Amen.

Rest in peace ma

May the LORD comfort the family at this trying time.

May his soul Rest in Peace

Accept my condolences Ma.May God forgive all his short comings and grant him eternal rest. Stay strong Ma

It is well

Daddy, words cannot express how shocked I was to hear about your sudden departure. From the day I met you in Maryland USA when you had a conversation me about how to handle Tomiwa (my now Brother-in-law aka Brother), I applied all wisdom, advice and instruction on how to build relationships not only with Tomiwa but with other people who I have encountered over the years. I will always cherish you, love you, and remember your smile and jovial cheerful spirit. Please R.I.P. (Rest In Peace) and be assured that the seed (wisdom) you planted in me is now a tree bearing fruits for generations to come. This is just another way you impacted my life. I love you, Dr Diana Lola Solana-Sodeinde

May his soul Rest In Peace. May God be with your family Tomiwa. Please accept my condolences.

Rest in peace.

May he continue to rest. It is Well

We are so saddened to hear of the loss of our dear Uncle. Aunty Kehinde, Tomiwa, Gbenga, Morayo and Tosin and the whole family, please take comfort in the legacy he left behind. That those near and far, that you many not even have imagined were touched by his life. He was always an example of a wise gentle elder, using humor to share wisdom. The family has lost an important branch, but we are grateful that the fruit he bore, not just in our cousins andd their children, but in his kind and gentle ways and the wisdom and support he shared for family and friends throughout the years will live on always. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

May God's comfort be with you and the family in this time of great loss. We will be praying for you all as you honor his memory and carry on his legacy.

Daddy was an awesome man. He had a special way of creating a very lively atmosphere and it is never a dull moment when with him. He would school and educate you. He was always very calm and jovial.You stood by my family in the trying times and we really appreciate you. The way you solve complex issues with ease. May Allah Almighty grant you Aljanah Firdaus and comfort the family. Rest on Daddy.

My Second daddy. Always welcoming and full of advice. You were caring loving and always full of gist. At a young age I could proudly walk into the house and ask of you. Your prayers and advice and humor would be grateful missed. This one hit me hard but I know you are in a better place smiling down at us. Rest on Daddy.

May your father rest in perfect peace. God bless you and family always.

Hello uncle, tears still runs down my eyes. I remember a few days before i received the news having you in my thought and all that came to my mind was maybe the disappointment of not making my December vacation to see you. My late dad envied you so much because of how much love and life you always brought to the family. your middle name was support because you always provided that to every single person in the family. You always took peoples challenges as though they were yours. Even as at last year what i had issues with for 2yrs just talking to you and you solved it in 4days. I thank you for all you have done on this earth and know that you are in a better place now. I am glad that my daughter met you has that gave her a feeling of how her grand dad would have been. Adieu unlce, till we meet again. Love Laide kekere and family as you fondly called me.

Dad was genuinely a caring and loving man, he made you remember him wherever he went. Never a dull moment. May your soul rest in peace

Sincere condolences

Regardless of his age, my dear Uncle Alade Aroyewun left this world rather suddenly and it's just unbelievable that he's gone. Just like that? He was so amiable you feel very comfortable and enjoy every moment being with him. He was very pragmatic, down to earth and highly principled. He was very honest and trustworthy, very faithful to all and sundry. A very good Muslim, in fact a Muumeen that diligently served Allah and His creations. May you find the mercy and comfort from Allah in your grave and may Allah raise you in company of those destined for Aljannat firdous. your good deeds while on this terrestrial realm will surely be guidance and protection for all you left behind. You will forever be remembered by the entire family of Alhaji Wahabi Adisa Oseni. - From Dr Saheed Oseni

Would Miss Grandpa Satellite so much. He was such a key figure within the family and took family matters with utter pertinence. I am so lucky to have known him and met him. I am even luckier that I got to see him not long ago at my brother's wedding. He always knew the best questions to ask (u better have a plan especially career wise so u don't sound dumb..lol). But the accuracy with which he recalls every major life event in his or your lives was ever impressive for a man that age. He was just so inspirational/therapeutic to talk to...full of wisdom. Indeed every man must return to His Lord some day...but I am glad that his life had a great legacy that we will keep remembering him for. And I pray Allah forgive his sins and grant him the ultimate success of Jannah. Ameen. Love/Hugs to the entire family, ...Teniola!

My husband was a wonderful man. I'm not sure I can really express just how much I will miss him. Not only was he a wonderful, loving and ever supportive husband, he was also an awesome father, grandfather, best friend, colleague and so much more. His sudden death was a total shock to me. He was a caring husband who will forever be remembered for his peaceful lifestyle. Alade’s ability to make everyone feel comfortable, secure and loved were his greatest strengths. It has been nearly 45 years since we were first married and I look back over those years with so much happiness. Alade was always such a gentleman, well-mannered and polite. He never raised his voice at me or the children, constantly exercising peace and calm in every situation. He was always quick with a witty remark to make everyone across the room laugh. His joviality and good nature attracted people the moment he walked into a room, and no one could forget his raucous and contagious laugh. Born and bred in Lagos Island, Alade always had a passion for Lagos culture. I remember the first time he took me dancing. He was proud and showed me off to the world with a constant sense of adoration, beaming with smiles. He was my soul mate and my inspiration, my support, my rock that helped me through thick and thin. Alade supported and loved everyone equally and was always there to help navigate through life’s challenges. Alade was a hardworking and giving man. Not only was he committed to work but was also committed to giving back to the community. Chief Security Chairman we jokingly teased him ever conscious of the fact he took community policing seriously. When Alade wasn't at work, he was attending one of Eko Club meetings, Methodist Boys High School Alumni, Mosque sessions, Family meetings or fundraising activities. He always encouraged us be involved in life; he brought out the best in us all. He would always say to the children, ‘You can’t see people with problems and decide not to help when you can. You must try to do something and make an impact on the needy. We are fortunate and not better than anyone else in the eyes of God." I cherish the years spent with him as a husband and father to his children. I hold dear to my heart the times we prayed together every morning, thanking God for the life we built together. I thank you my dear husband for your love, your care and your support in all ramification. Your departure was peaceful, and I thank God for blessing us with such a gift. We bless God for you, and know you are in heaven now looking down at us with a big smile on your face. I hear your voice instructing “Forge ahead – make the best of life – and I’ll see you soon. We have work to do up here too in preparation.” Goodbye, my dear, sweet and loving husband, God bless you, as I am sure you are with your creator.

Dear uncle, father, my mentor and support base, always advicing and putting me through life experiences which he himself went through and always saying sola take life step by step. You out of most of the family believed in me and I gotten so attached to you sometime I can't believe you gone as I stared at you in my arms that faithful day. Words cannot express how I feel, but uncle you,re the best. Rest on in Allah blossom. Adesola Anthony odusote.

Tribute to a wonderful ever loving brother father grandfather husband. You have fought a good fight of faith and you are with your Maker now we thank God for your life I was privileged to know him. Alhaji Aroyewun when we celebrated Tomiwa and Helena’s wedding. Since then I have been so close to the family. I felt I knew him all my life I was so shocked I couldn’t believe it when Helena announced his passing. I was shocked . Words failed me to express truly express myself we will miss your gentle voice how he cared for everyone when you visit them him and his wife he is such a complete gentleman I remembered when he met my mom he treated my mom like with warm affection each time he visits my mother with his wife always giving my mom some money I cannot forget the warm smile on the phone each time during a conversation when I called them in Nigeria he was a real gem He spoke well about everyone and I’m still struggling to believe that he left us. Sun re o Alhaji Alade Aroyewun we will surely miss you. May the Lord strengthen your wife ,children and grandchildren. Rest in peace You will be forever missed By Adenike Olusanya Temitope’s mom

I have opened this link more than 7 times and that's all because I really couldn't get myself to write a "Tribute" . That word.Typing with tears flowing as I remember you and all you did while still with us. Thank you uncle for being my uncle. Thank you uncle for being dad's aburo. Always calling him Egbon. Thank you for attending important occasions in my life . You were the one dad sent into Old great hall Cmul idiaraba during my induction.While dad was smiling peeping through the window by the right. Thank you uncle for going the extra mile and taking me to FMC abk while I was awaiting my call up for house job in Luth. Thank you uncle for visiting dad on numerous occasions while he was admitted in Luth.I remember escorting you to take transportation before it got too dark because you talked about your failing eye sight . Thank you uncle for being the only one there with me while I held dad's hand while he passed on independence day 2010. You left nearly midnight for home that day as I recall. Instructing me to stay there overnight because it was too late to go home. Thank you uncle for keeping in touch after others failed to. Thank you for calling and asking after everyone's wellbeing so many times. Surprising us with your visits also. I've caught myself looking at your picture when I want to imagine how dad would have looked like. All I can say is ... Rest on uncle satellite. Say me hi to dad. Love you always. Shashade

I am so grateful to have experienced your warm, accommodating presence whilst you were here with us. You were so full of life and jokes the last time we saw you and this is how we will forevermore remember you. You have left a great legacy behind and your spirit continues to impact lives through your children and grandchildren. Rest well and farewell Sir

Still a surprise to me that you are gone uncle! your strength and patience have been a strong persona that I have strife to keep in my life. Ever ready to help with no desire for a reward or praise puts you into the 1% of the 1% of the world of humility, hard work and generosity you rarely see in the world today. I love your desire to educate all around on the history of the family the how busy you are welcoming family, friends and strangers to your home. You make everyone at ease irrespective of gender, age and personal situation. From the time you have been in my life a surulere so many years ago to Apapa (one of a few who show courage and determination to safe integrity at the Federal Mortgage Bank) then Satalite town to which your's and Aunty's boxing day party (always look forward to Boxing day lol) You have raised a lovely hard-working family who all will miss you greatly but will keep your legacy going in them and in their children. REST IN PEACE UNCLE ALADE.....

Writing this tribute is breaking my heart in a way I have never felt before. Are you really gone Daddy? Why? We were just planning a family trip that was going to be all about you. In your typical nature, you were so cool, calm and collected about it. You said “Tosin, I am keeping well and agile”, then prayed for me like you always do and which was our last conversation... Ha!!! Among other things, you taught me to be untroubled, tolerant and have unwavering trust in God. You almost never saw my wrong, you talked about me so positively that sometimes I wondered: is that me he is describing? You always made me want to be and do better in everyway. I remember the last time we danced, your smiles, me taking pictures of you and how you made the littlest things stimulating. I cannot forget how you were with me through my entire registration process when I was admitted into University of Lagos which involved walking back and forth across considerable distances all because you thought your presence will make my life easier. Your presence made the process easier though some of my classmates called me “Daddy’s baby” or “Omo Daddy” for a while as a result, I did not hesitate to let you drive me to school whenever you offered because I was indeed your “baby” being the last born in the family. You were all about service to others. In recent years we had one or two heated conversations but that was me being defensive. Yet you always ended our conversations with a prayer for me, saying something positive about my person and even dropping an apology. Daddy you were one of a kind and deeply loved. Daddy Daddy!!! I didn't see this coming but I'm grateful to have called you Daddy, grateful for the memories we made and especially grateful for the impact of you made in my life. Between the great memories, the life-long lessons; you were a big-hearted man and simply spectacular. Rest on “My Daddy”, "Daddy Daddy"… Obaoluwatosin.

Alhaji Alade Aroyewun was a man of many words, full of life, and love. His passing away came as a surprise to all of us who knew him. I am grateful for the many occasions we shared together. From our childrens' wedding (Tomiwa and Helena), to the births of our grandchildren, and his 70th birthday celebration, Alhaji Aroyewun was always in high spirits and enjoyed the company of family. He always saw life optimistically and shared vivid and jovial memories with everybody. Thanks again for leading with wisdom, strength, and care for the great family you raised and for the role you played in your community. What a legacy you left for your cherished wife, 4 children, 6 grandchildren, nieces, nephews, aunties, uncles and in-laws! I am lucky to have been part of your in-laws. You have always made me feel welcome. Please rest in Peace! Martine De Maeyer (Mother to Helena Aroyewun)

I’m sorry for your lost. I send you all my thoughts.

Dearest Pa/grandPa Aroyewun.I, your brother-in-LawDr. BAYO SOLANA, father of Ayo,(wife of your lovely son Tomiwa Aroyewun)wish you a perfect life.May your soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

The very first day I came to your house in ogudu to glam your wife for her birthday photoshoot in May last year, you accommodated and entertained me as if we've known each for a long time. We chatted like father and daughter, you told me about different varieties in my hometown which I know nothing about, you told me to try visiting my hometown. After everything was done you gifted me some cash for coming earlier than the scheduled time. Pa Aroyewun when I saw you on 31st December 2021, you were so full of life as always during the photoshoot section with your wonderful family. Little did I know that will be the last time I will see you again, if I had known I would have stayed longer and give you a hug. Indeed death is inevitable and a debt every mortals will pay either rich or poor, live your life today like it's your last because tomorrow is not promised. May your gentle soul rest in peace pa Aroyewun

Toutes nos condoléances aux familles d'Hélène et de Tomiwa.

My condolence Mr Tomiwa and Ms Helena. Love to Joba and Ola.

Death has once again reminded us the transient nature of Life. Grandpa was a soft spoken intelligent man, whose love, affection and always ready to listen. Grandpa was not only an uncle, he was a friend. You'll be missed grandpa. Keep basking in the reward of a life well spent in Al-Jannatul Firdous. Akorede Redemption like you fondly call me, will miss you sourly. Goodnight ??

What an irreparable loss! A rare gem has passed on to the great beyond. Your concern for each and every one of us is unquantifiable. Surely Aljannah Fridaus is your abode. Rest on, till we meet to part no more Baba oninu ire.

Daddy Aroyewun was a great man, a gentle soul, and one of the most pleasant people I ever met. You lived a fulfilled life and we will miss you sir… your memories will forever stay in our hearts. May your soul rest in peace. ADIEU Daddy!

Rest in perfect peace. Papa Condolences to the entire family, it is well

TRIBUTE TO UNCLE, BROTHER ALADE, BABA AYO Baba Ayo, you left the way you lived, Quietly, No fuss, No Wahala. We miss you, Uncle. You always have a smile and kind words for everyone. You gave advise to those who sort them from you in your quiet ways. We remember during family gatherings which are many, you have a way of making people smile. We love your easy way of looking at life and living in the present. We have never seen you upset with anyone in any gatherings. You were an example of living life and taking it one day at a time. You were disciplined about living a religious and righteous life. You took your faith seriously and lived within the teaching of Allah. Accepting people as they are and not being judgmental. We remember some family gatherings when everyone was talking loudly and arguing, you were always quiet while listening and the voice of reason. You disarm using words softly spoken with smiles. Uncle, we are missing you already and greatly. We love you but God loves you more. Rest peacefully in the bosom of Allah. Sun Re o. Adieu, Uncle, Brother Alade, Baba Ayo.

????Hello everyone, this is a tribute to my grandfather who passed away on Thursday, February 10, 2022. Our grandfather was a very nice and jolly man. He was playful and was always willing to help. If I was ever bored, he would always joke with me. He was peaceful and always grateful. I am very thankful for his life. He did many more things for me like teaching me yoruba. He was a great father, husband, and a good friend. He was trustworthy and caring. We thank God that when he died, he died peacefully. I will remember him and all the great things he did and I pray that I will do things that will make him proud. ???????????????? ????????????

Greetings, audience and relatives and friends and… all. My name is Tomide Olujobi and would like to thank everyone for reading my little speech. Be young in spirit and wise in years. I would like to start off with a quick prayer today. So before we start, I pray (God, Son, and Holy Spirit) for blessings upon each and very one of us and I ask for all of us to be able to live long lives which will leave positive marks on the world to show all your glory and love in Jesus’ mighty name. Kí Olúwa wà thanks p??lú r?. And we say “Amin”! With that, let’s jump right in. I want to acknowledge 2 things. First, we all know that humans go through a certain sequence in life. No matter how different we are, we always have gone through similar things. We have all been born into the world, raised up by our parents(God bless them) and have witnessed love. We have all grown, eaten, played and worked. We’ve smiled and frowned, laughed and cried, been proud and disappointed, and been loved and rejected. It’s just how life is. The second thing I want to acknowledge is that we have a purpose. The saying “Time flies” is no joke o! Time literally is limited and we need to remember that. Psalm 90:12 says “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom”. And to that, we say “Amen”. My grandfather, Muyideen Alade Oladimeji Aroyewun, was a man who realized these things. And although he wasn’t Elon Musk or King Sunny Ade, he still did things that will forever be remembered. For some of us, he was a great friend whom we had met at school. For others like me, he was a close relative who would make us feel welcome when visiting him and his wife (Our grandma). No matter how we were related to him, Muyideen Aroyewun always was a nice gentleman. He moved houses just to make sure his father’s property was ok. He cheered us up when we were feeling down. He laughed, smiled, was disappointed sometimes, and other bad feelings(but we are not to focus on that). What we’re focusing is he didn’t just think that he had life to live and that’s it. He actually lived it. He “lived the life”! I’m not saying that we shouldn’t sometimes feel sad for his passing. I DEFINITELY mourned when I heard the news. What I’m saying is we should also feel happy because he lived a nice 79 years of his life and he’s now with the Lord, praising alongside the angels forevermore. Hallelujah! May he rest in peace having fulfilled his purpose here on Earth and may we follow his example to live life to its fullest in the mighty name of Jesus. And one last time, we say “Amen”. Peace be with you.

Tribute to Grandpa Aroyewun To us in the Solana/Olulana Family, Grandpa Aroyewun was a great man. He was a man that exuded love; a man that saw every occasion as an opportunity to show his love. Everyone that we interacted formally and even informally with him has remained indelible with us. From the very first occasion that he came on behalf of his son, Ayo, to our family house to introduce the Aroyewuns to us to the last time, just last month, that we visited him in his house, Grandpa Aroyewun exuded a joy and happiness that expressed his love. He always had something good to cheer you up and make you remember the last visit. We already miss him so much. What is sad is that one never realized that this relationship was going to become limited to these sweet memories so soon. I can still recall his demonstration of love to us when our matriarch left us. We still cherish his and his amiable wife’s show of solidarity demonstrated in the gifts of household items that keep reminding us of him. Grandma and all our in-laws, please be encouraged by his great examples and legacy. Grandpa, your memories will continue to challenge us to live a life of joy and happiness. On behalf of the Solana/Olulana Family

When we heard of your untimely death,we were shocked. A wonderful daddy is gone so soon. You were very accommodating, kind, generous and loving father. When our son Ayo got married, despite of Covid-19 restrictions you and mummy took the risk and both of you attended the wedding.We are consoled by the fact that you are definitely in heaven and the footprints you left behind are not erasable. You will never be forgotten daddy. May your sole test in perfect peace Amen.

Please do accept our heart felt condolences for your loss. We pray that the almighty God grants the grace to bear this irreparable loss. Remain strengthened

Dear Tomiwa and Helena, we are sorry for your loss. We pray for God’s comfort as you mourn the passing of your father and for God’s strength for the family as you are organising the farewell. It is is well with you and your family.

Alade lived a just life, one centered on God. His family, friends and associates all felt this. We are blessed to have shared his life. Now, Alade continues his soul's journey with God and his Angels. I imagine how it is for him to be healthy with perfect vision, young and full of energy again. I wonder what he will contribute to his new society. I await one day to meet him gain with a fun party in his new society.

It was a privilege to have known you. Your calm disposition and subtle nature is worthy of emulation. You were unassuming, steadfast in your faith, confident to project your values, an embodiment of love and forgiveness in all forms. Your opinions were honest, just and most especially selfless. You will be remembered for the lessons you taught, the lives you touched and the void your passing has left. Rest in peace sir.

Deepest condolences Tomiwa. May God give you and yours the fortitude to bear this loss. May his soul find rest in the hereafter.

Uncle will be sorely missed. He was a peaceful and quiet man. A great and loving husband to Aunty Kehinde and a wonderful dad to my Egbons. From Satellite town to Ogudu Gra he had this peaceful and calm aura around him. Going for Holidays in his house was always fun and his Sallah was an avenue for family members to reconnect. May Allah forgive his sons and grant him rest Amin

Gone too soon. From the moment I met you, you have been nothing but a blessing to me and my family. You were steadfast and supportive from the very beginning. I am honored to be called your daughter-in-law and you treated me like your own daughter. You were a true example of unconditional love. You always had the right words to say and your kind demeanor in imparting wisdom was truly a pleasure to witness. I enjoyed you translating Yoruba songs while we drove in the car. Always encouraging, you never complained. You were a perfect role model to your children and grandchildren. I have fond memories of you feeding the boys as babies, singing to them and playing with them. Later on, you would impart your knowledge and wisdom on them, teaching them Yoruba and testing their knowledge during our phone conversations. Daddy, I will really miss you. You are forever in our hearts.

Grandpa, you were a nice, kind and jovial person. I have many fond memories of you. Thank you for teaching Ola and I some Yoruba words. You always gave us honest and encouraging advice. I will miss you. Rest In Peace, my dear grandpa.

Grandpa, I am happy for the times we got to spend together. Thank you for teaching me Yoruba, encouraging me and for playing with me. I am proud to be one of your grandsons. I wish you were still here with us. I love you.

Daddy Aroyewun! I am privileged to have crossed path with you in life. You're were humble, kind and generous, gentle and soft spoken. 26th of December will always bring back those beautiful memories we shared with you and your loving family. The beautiful moments you shared with us will always speak of the great person that you were. God has now a precious and loving friend, the one we have lost.You will be missed forever and always. Rest in peace Daddy!

Daddy Aroyewun, it's still unbelievable that you are no longer with us. You were generous, soft spoken, selfless and honorable. I could never think about the 26th of December without remembering you and your family. I was particularly touched to see you at my wedding last year despite the Covid situation. I am grateful to God that I met you and shared part of your life with you. You will always remain in my heart. Rest on daddy.

TOKUNBO OREKOYA ON BEHALF OF THE CHILDREN OF CHIEF & CHIEF (MRS)BAYO OGUNYEMI signed: Brother Alade or Papa Ayo as he was fondly called got married to our senior sister Aunty Kehinde He was a very amiable and likable person,full of wisdom and experience.

It was a great shock when we heard of your demise, especially as we were looking forward to your 80th birthday in September and you were hale and hearty when you left your house that faithful morning of February 10, 2022. But who are we to query God - you have fulfilled your earthly assignment. May God be praised. Iku olododo. We thank God for your life and pray God will grant you eternal rest,Amen.

I am sorry to hear about daddy's passing. He was always jovial and welcoming everytime I saw him during his visits to Maryland. He will be missed. I pray God's comfort for the entire family. May daddy rest in peace.

Goodnight Baba Ayo.... I met Late Alhaji Muyideen Alade Aroyewun, whom I fondly called 'Baba Ayo', through his amiable wife, Mrs Elizabeth Kehinde Aroyewun, during our days at Lagos State School of Nursing and Midwife where we were both lecturers in 1978. Baba Ayo took me as as his younger sister from the get go and he played a prominent role in seeing to it that I got married to my then fiancee, and now husband, Adekunle Afun. Baba Ayo was an embodiment of positive characters - very compassionate and good communication skills. His communication skills were essential to his good accounting and managerial persona. He had the ability to listen - he listened to his caucus in meetings, listened to his adversaries, colleagues and the managers. As an accountant of repute, he took in much information, analysed and synthentised it and exercised good judgment to provide advices to his Organizations (NEPA, Federal Mortgage Bank, and Lagos State Government, as an External Auditor). One of his many qualities was his emotional response whenever he perceived problems and he genuinely wanted to help resolve the problem, while at work and within the family setting. Now, it is finished. No more accounting activities, no more chieftaincy role as Baba Adinni, no more Olori Ebi role as well. With this passing, Baba Ayo is leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and service to humanity. The world is a sojourn place and not a permanent residence. Heaven is now his new abode. My condolences once again to his entire family(wife, children, grandchildren, Rest in perfect peace Baba Ayo. Adebola Afun, Mrs For The Afun FAmily.

Uncle,Baba Tomiwa ,Grandpa Ogudu You were all these names to me ,my siblings and my children. I don't know where to start from except to acknowledge you in every part of my life , You love for family was so glaring for all to see ,you were always there both in the good times and the bad times offering comfort .Your sharp sense and thinking skills always fascinated me . Seriously I used to joke that you would have been a great criminal lawyer or detective due to the way you could analyze a situation perfectly. You are sorely going to be missed ,that much I know . Thank you for being you. Adieu!!!

In life we come across some people and they leave an indelible mark on your life such is my experience with "Grandpa" as my children will call him. I call him 'Daddy' because he was indeed a father to me, my second father. In those days to become an accountant you need a practicing accountant to sign you on and it was such a big deal to find one. He signed me on without question and and encouraged me through that journey to ACA. He taught me values of hardwork, focus, perseverance and professional integrity amongst others. He was an epitome of love and kindness. My children always look forward to Ileya visit to him. Now he has gone to be with his maker. My joy is that I spoke to him within the last two weeks before his passing when he called to find out how I am doing and about work and his typical - iyawo e nko, ba mi kii o. I did not realise he was saying goodbye. He will always be remembered for the special person he was. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

May your soul rest in peace Baba Tomiwa.

My dad was an incredible man. He provided and cared for his family (both nuclear and extended) making sure we all had the guidance we needed to become better in life. He was silent and strict, wise and tolerant, patient and selfless, jovial and careful, courteous and resourceful, God fearing and caring.....his guiding light constantly showing us the way for the betterment of mankind. I will miss him dearly. Today I remember him and the great memories we shared........... the jests, prayers, debates, lessons, advice, general banter, reprimands and love you showed molding me into the man I am today. I will forever appreciate him and all he did thanking God for having a role model like him in my life. I sure struck gold being his son. Daddy thank you for being you.......Aroyewun a po bi iro eshin.......Omo Alhaja Onigbin eko......Oko Ejire special.......Non sibi sed aliis.....Papalolo......Aroyewun ni tiwa. You are one of a kind and a best friend. There can not be a day I think of you and fail to smile. You remain forever strong in all our hearts. I promise to do my best to uphold the values you bestowed upon us in every single aspect of life. Thank you for being my father in the land of the living. Till we meet again..............love you forever

My sincere condolences to the entire family. May he rest in peace!

It was a pleasure knowing you Daddy. Thank you for all your prayers and blessings. Rest well Sir!

Rest in perfect peace.

May his kind soul rest in perfect peace.

Though we never met Tomiwa’s dad, we have come to know him through the joyful and caring spirit of his son. Ergo, as he transitions to be with his creator, his legacy lives on among us. May he Rest In Peace, and may his family receive Divine fortitude to bear his transition.

What a gentle and caring man, you will be missed by all. May your soul Rest In Peace.

Rest in peace. May your loved ones find solace in the Almighty.

Rest In Peace daddy. You lived a great life and we will miss you!!

May Allah, Rahmanir Rahim expands his grave and lights it with his blessings. He was such a nice person. Allah will place him on Jannatul Firdaus.I will forever miss him, he is a rare breed of person, rest easy dad.

May almighty Allah grant him aljanna fridaous

Tribute to a Loving and Caring Grandpa. Death is inevitable for all men. Grandpa lived a life that was full of joy, happiness and full of emulation. He was a very resourceful, dynamic, analytical and a great enthusiast of education who commands respect in his chosen field of endeavour especially in Accounting. Grandpa was full of life, very agile and loves to give invaluable advice that guide you in life. Grandpa was someone who meant so much and is loved by all and who left a trail of treasurable and precious memories. Grandpa, will be greatly missed. May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace. Adieu Grandpa.

May dad's soul rest in perfect peace. Praying for comfort for you and your entire family.

Tribute to my father I don’t think it has really hit home that you are gone. Not really. We spoke a couple of days before you passed. I still called in the wee hours of that morning to speak with you and mummy. Prepped with my usual opening line that I could call you anytime, and you could make up for your sleep after we’d spoken. We didn’t get to banter one last time. Thank you, daddy, for being my father. Thinking “What will daddy do in this situation?” has helped me manage a difficult person and navigate difficult situations, many a time. You could douse the worst of tensions and I always admired that about you. The prayers. O the prayers! Always specific and intentional. Many of the prayers you said for my siblings and I, I find myself saying for my sons with such consistence and fevour. I truly now understand and appreciate those prayers. While you raised us to balance aspiration and contentment, you taught me one special lesson in gratitude which I can never forget. It was one of the few times, if not the only time you spoke to me harshly. I had cried during family prayer and prayed very stiltedly because I hadn’t passed an exam which I had put so much effort into preparing for. It was one of the very, (I do not exaggerate), very few times I had seen you genuinely upset. You spoke like I’d embarrassed you before God. You asked that I start to pray in thanksgiving, and demanded I genuinely sound thankful while at it. You were so upset. Considering you hardly ever got angry, I didn’t know what else to do but to obey. I prayed in thanks giving. ????. Then you went on to apologize to God on my behalf. I still draw from that lesson to be genuinely thankful even when things are not working out. This has been instrumental to my faith-walk. Speaking of faith, the walk and the work. Ours was a unique household. Thank you, daddy, for the way you ran your family. Very few understand, even fewer have had the privilege of what you uniquely permitted and nurtured in our family. Another life lesson in itself. E seun sir. I recently told you I was making some bold decisions, was stressed out about it, but was not ready to divulge. Ha!!! Trust you! Daddy-prayer mode activated!!! Your prayers daddy, -won ki mi laya!! They emboldened me. E seun sir. Writing this is hard. It really is. You know I don’t like to get emotional and it is at those times you’d give me space, not press for information, sit in silence with me, then encourage me with prayer. If I could have on last conversation with you daddy, I would sit with you in silence, then wait for the prayers. Confident they’d come. The silence I now have, the prayers you have given me so many. What more to ask for than to say “Thank you God”, and to be genuinely thankful. Daddy, mo gboro. (Daddy, I listened. I obeyed the instruction). I am thankful. But please permit me to be thankful through the tears. Sun re o!!! Daddy! Sun re o!!! Daddy-daddy! My Papa-lo!!!!! I remain, Your Morayooluwa!!!

Words failed me!!! Pray Allah grant you aljanah firdous and comfort all left behind. Uncle, we will sorely miss your wise counsel and care. Aunty,Take heart God will be with you.

Uncle may your gentle soul rest in peace. We will miss you sir.

You were an epitome of simplicity in all ramifications, a role model per excellence, a dignified personality, The Honourable Councillor that Satellite Town never had and above all a lover of God What more can we say than to thank God for a life well spent. Baba Aro as you're fondly called, May your gentle soul Rest In Peace

Continue to rest in peace, daddy. Daddy was a peaceful, soft spoken, caring man. It didn't matter who you are, he just treated you with respect. Always has a kind word and a prayer will usually follow. He had a lovely sense of humour, so there was never a dull moment with him. When you get in a muddled about something, he is the go to person a human encyclopedia, even if he didn't know the answer, he will make a research and get back to you. You can always count on him for support, strength, encouragement and a honest opinion. He was just cool like that. When you hear the phrase" I want to be like you when I grow up", it was referring to daddy. I pray your legacy will continue, the things we learnt from you, we will not forget and pass it on to the next generation because that would make you happy. Heaven has gained a gem Rest on Daddy

Bros Aro,as I fondly called you. Your demise was a real shock to me because you were still full of life a few moments earlier. But we thank God for a good life well spent. You were our mentor and role model back in 1960s when we were little boys at Oke-arin, Lagos, very elegant, handsome and smart young man then, we were always looking up to you. I thank you very much for taking good care of our big Sister, aunty Kehinde, your adorable wife. You did your best,we love you, but God loves you more.. Rest in the bosom of the Lord my dear Bros Aro.. Lekan Ogunyemi

Daddy Aroyewun is wonderful a great mentor and father figure May Allah bless him with jannah expand his grave and forgive his shortcomings

Grandpa satellite was what we called him, he was an amazing individual, and we will all miss him so much, may Allah grant him jannah. Amin

I worked as a volunteer next to your son at JHDC. You trained him up in the way that he should go. I know you were loved and will be missed by him and the family. Rest in perfect peace.

May Allah repose your soul

May Almighty grant you eternal rest daddy Aroyewun.

For as long as we can remember Uncle has always been in our lives as children in Liverpool, to Satellite Town and now as adults. He was our mum’s trusted aburo whose help we could rely on all the time. Uncle’s words of wisdom doused in his ever present humour made life seem so easy, he often lifted the weight of the most difficult tasks and made for fulfillment with candidacy. In the absence of our parents, we simply have to say the word and Uncle will be there. His practical advice, words of encouragement and basically filling in some of the gaps our mum left will be sorely missed. There are so many fond memories of being an adult, visiting our parents and meeting both Uncle Alade and Aunty Kenny there. The conversations were always so uplifting, whether the topics were serious or frivolous, simply listening in and/or partaking in the discussions was so enjoyable. The Aunty/Uncle combination was always fraught with fun and laughter though serious matters were always given due attention. We’ll miss Uncle’s presence and our conversations, but we take solace knowing that he’s with Allah, has lived a great life and leaves great legacies. Our hearts go out especially to Aunty Kenny (‘Mama Ayo’), Tomiwa, Gbenga, Morayo and Tosin and pray that God comforts you and turns your sorrow to smiles as you remember the great man Uncle was, his caring nature, his philanthropy, his humour, his candidacy and unwavering faith. These are just a few of his admirable qualities his legacy leaves. Rest in Perfect Peace our Dearest Uncle.

You were lively, friendly and godly. You nicknamed me the "Gentleman of the Close" as a kid. Thanks to God for a few of your kind that have walked this planet, leaving indelible marks. You will be sorely missed but lessons learned from you will keep your memories alive with us, always. Rest on "Daddy Aroyewun"

My condolences, Tomiwa. May his soul Rest In Peace.

Tomiwa, may papa’s soul rest in peace.

Ever so pleasant of a personality. ...shall be greatly missed! Rest in peace Baba.

I remember well how you liked to joke and how easy it was to be around you. When I had to stay at your place in Satellite Town, those many years ago, you treated me like I was your child and made my stay very pleasant. Thank you for that, dad. I wish we still had you around. I will miss you a lot. May God strengthen aunty, Tomiwa, Gbenga, Morayo and Tosin. Adieu, sir.

Rest in peace Daddy.

I still can't get over the fact that I will never see you again,never to look behind me and see the pillar you truly were...Grandpa like I usually call you, your absence has a created a vacuum in my heart. The last time we spoke was few weeks back.i promised to create time out of my busy schedule to pay you a visit but I never did....I feel so ashamed of my actions but it wasn't my making ...my gist partner,my confidant, will miss you so greatly...but I take solace in God's promise! May the Almighty Allah in his infinite mercy grant you Aljana firdaus...Ameen.

Dad, I never met you in person but I can feel your personality in the way your ward do conduct himself. Rest in perfect peace and may the good Lord grant the entire family the fortitude to bear your exit.

May his gentle soul rest in peace and may Almighty Allaah the Lord of the world and all that exist, forgive all the sins of our great father and Grant him Al-jannah firdaus (paradise) as a final recompense.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. To our dear Morayo(+Bayo) and Tomiwa, please accept our sincerest condolences.Continue to stay strong.We are thinking of you,Biola&Dewumi

Daddy May Allah count you among the dwellers of paradise. We are only left with kindness, steadfastness and true love you thought us. We miss you and pray that we are all reunited on the day of judgment in the midst of those who enjoy Allah’s Blessings. You took care of us all as if we were your biological children. I will definitely miss your fatherly advice. Rest In Peace Sir.

What a shock!!! You were a very soft spoken man. Very kind and always willing to assist. I pray God grants you eternal rest and comfort the family you left behind. We love you but God loves you more.

With gratitude to God for a life well-lived, we join other family and friends to to celebrate the life of our uncle and daddy, Alhaji Alade Aroyewun. Your gentle spirit was infectious and your love for others was genuine. May God grant you eternal rest. We pray that sister and the children you left behind will carry on your legacy and continue your good work after you. Rest In Peace Daddy Alade Aroyewun.

Daddy, It was (still is) very shocking to hear about your exit. The last time we saw, I remember we coincidentally wore the same ankara and Morayo joked about you being my date when I dropped you off. I'm really glad I still got to talk to you after then. You were good and kind and treated my siblings and I as your children too. May Allah grant you Al-Jannah Firdaus (Amin). May He also comfort and protect your beloved ones. We miss you!

May his Gentle Soul Rest In Peace.

May Baba's Soul Rest In Peace, and may God grant the family fortitude to bear the loss...Amen

He lived a good life. May his memory continue to be a blessing to your family.

From The Almighty we come and unto The Almighty we return. Good night Sir, I will miss our conversations and we will all miss you. I pray the Almighty grants your family the strength to beat your departure.

A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me” Your unconditional love for us has taught us how to love. Your unending service to us taught us to reach out and help others in need. Your positive attitude has taught us that our glass is never half-empty. It was so hard to watch you slip away. Allah’s peace and rest be yours Who will continue your heritage? My Uncle, I will always miss you. But I have so many wonderful memories of you. I will always think of you with smile. Sun re o Alhaji Muyideen Alade Oladimeji Aroyewun. By Alhaja Abimbola Olayemi

Uncle Alade Aroyewun was not just an uncle to me but a senior professional colleague. Our paths crossed for the first time 10 years ago when I needed a sponsor for my ICAN induction attestation. He gave me more support than I needed and I remember his exact words that day; “I am happy doing this for you; there’s nothing I am doing with all of these now that I’m old. I hope you children will continue from where we stopped”. Getting one of ICAN’s first 5000 members as a sponsor “no be beans”. I would have loved that you were around to attend my fellowship induction this year. Your act of benevolence is indeed outstanding. On several occasions you reached out to me in the process of executing support to other people. I still remember our last conversations; it was still about helping people. You have played your part very well in the affairs of men in this world. You have carved your name on stones and hearts. Memoirs of you will never be forgotten. I pray that Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala grant you Aljana Firdaus and keep the family you left behind safe from evil. Your Nephew, Dapo Aroyewun

Such a gentle soul. May His soul rest in peace.

Rest in Peace.

I feel blessed to have experienced your personality through your son, Tomiwa. Rest in peace Sir. You will be missed.

Daddy was the quintessential gentleman. He was easy in his approach to life and he achieved a lot with his simplicity. He was a lover and advocate of peace and loving coexistence in our personal lives and the community. Daddy touched lives immeasurably! May he continue to rest in peace!

Tomiwa, praying for strength and God's comfort in this season. I pray that the family daddy left behind will be united in love and find peace in all they do. God bless bro!

A gentle and peaceful soul has left us to be with the Lord. Daddy we will surely miss you till we meet again. Rest In Peace daddy!

Please accept our heart felt condolences on the passing of your beloved dad. May the Lord grant him eternal rest and comfort the entire family at this difficult time.

Tomiwa, may your father’s Soul Rest In Perfect Peace. I know how much him. Accept our condolences

Was in total shock on hearing the news. Rip dearest uncle.

Alhaji we going to miss you, but God loves you most, you been a good father and a loving friend to everyone, you are a man of your words , rest in thy Lord till we meet again in the paradise.

I hope that our Lord brings you and your family the much-needed peace during this sad time. My condolences to you and your family.

I will always treasure the fun memories I have with daddy. I’m so glad I got the chance to see him last November and of cause got the usual query from him “Femi se o n pe baba e”. I am heartbroken that he is gone. He will be missed by many. May his gentle soul rest in Perfect Peace Amen!

Wow, may God give you and the family peace at this time and the solitude to bare the loss. Oh wow, it is well.

My dear uncle Alade, always so kind and gentle. You’ll be greatly missed!

Daddy, you lived a full and fulfilled life. Thank you for being such an inspiration as a husband, father and grandfather. Sleep well, daddy.

Daddy was a soft spoken intelligent man. He was passionately connected to those who met and know him. Insightful and a pleasure to be around. A conscious Muslim he was. He lived a simple life despite the many blessings he had. May Allah in His infinite mercies overlook his shortcomings and sins, and admit him to the highest place in Paradise.

Rest well, Baba. Tomiwa, please accept my most sincere condolences.

To the Aroyewun family, sorry for the loss of your father. Accept my condolences. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

May his memory be for a blessing.

The news of your demise was a rude shock and a reminder that we are only transient beings on this earth. My main regret is that I never called to check up on you as much as I should have and now I find myself writing this tribute to say sweet nonsense that I should have said while you were alive. What a life!! It was an honour knowing you. Thank you for opening your home and treating me like one of your children. I enjoyed the many conversations we had anytime I visited Satellite Town. I will remember your non-judgmental nature and at the same time being brutally honest without making people feeling belittled or being patronized. You were very simple and opened minded and the way you practiced your belief would put a lot of so called religious people to shame. I believe you are in a better place and you will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace Daddy Alade Aroyewun.

Tomiwa accept my sympathy. Rest in peace Dad

We will miss you sir. I didn't know the last we will see was when Joba was born. Great to have you as part of the family. May your soul rest in perfect peace, Amen. We love you, but God loves you more.

Take heart Tomiwa. Eyin won ada o

Rest in peace, Alhaji. My sympathies, condolences and love to your family, especially Tomiwa, my classmate.

RIP Daddy and it's well in Jesus name Amen.

Tomiewa, please accept my deepest sympathy. I am sure you made your dad proud growing up and being a responsible and successful man. May daddy's Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. God Bless.

Hi Tomiwa and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad Please May God console you where no man can! Accept my condolences ???? Zuoke

Oh,I am so sorry to hear this! I never met Daddy, but may he rest in peace a day rest in power. Hail the Traveler! Mat he go forth dhining!

Rest in peace daddy

From the very day that I met you, you were very kind and welcoming. It was always a pleasure to visit or phone you, as I'd expect to hear your nickname for me "Charlie Man".From secondary school, university, and when I started working, we always had very deep conversations. I remember when I told you that I was going to marry a "Yoruba girl" and you laughed and told me that you had caught me. You then supported our family throughout the introduction and wedding process. Thanks for looking beyond age, tribal, and religious divides, and seeing everyone as human. You'd certainly be missed. God continue to bless your family. We'd continue to make you proud. Rest in peace!

I have never met Daddy but I have met Tomiwa, he’s a friend of mine from Secondary School- from what I have heard and if Tomiwa is anything like Daddy, then Daddy was a good man. May his Soul Rest In Peace

Miss you so much, Rest in Perfect Peace Daddy...!!!????????????

Daddy, it's heart breaking to know you will no longer be around for those phone conversations that always started with "Atoyen, bawo ni nkan?". I am proud to have called you my dad and happy to have been your daughter-in-law. Thank you daddy for being there for me as a father, adviser, supporter and a fantastic Yoruba teacher to your grandchildren. Although we cannot see you or hear from you anymore, I know deep down in my heart that you are smiling down on us from your place of eternal rest. Rest well Daddy, you will forever be in my heart. Oluwatoyin Aroyewun

Alhaji Alade Aroyewun! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!!! Inna lilahi wa inna ilaehi rojiun.. I lost my father the 2nd time! The gentle giant that manifest in all manner of intellect and wisdom, a true patroit and a pillar of trust. Rest on Aroy... Rest on Alade .. Rest on Dad.. bismillah kulhuwallah 3ce. Amin

Keeping the entire family in prayers. It is well

May your soul rest in peace daddy. May God grant your family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Alhamdulillah for a life well spent,daddy as I always call you, you always give me courage and support and I am always at ease with you anytime either physically or on phone. You never deviate from being a true muslim.I thought you will still be around fo
