RIP Sweet Uncle I will always tell my kids and grandkids about a hero that onces existed ...till we meet again Rest well .

"Oga", as I fondly called you sir, the news of your demise was received with great shock but we can't question God Almighty for calling you home at this time. Your good work and fatherly love for me during the time I spent with you is unqualified. You greatly inspired me and my friends to always strive for the best, you encouraged, motivated and assi us to bring out the best in us. Very difficult for people to understand we were not part of your family due to the way you took and treated us and up till today, we are still enjoying the good relationship with every members of the Kolawole dynasty. Rest on sir, I have no doubt in mind that with your good work here on heart, you will be at the right side of God Almighty. I cannot finish all I will like to write about you too numerous to write. I pray your good soul find eternal peace and grant the entire Kolawole family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss of your demise. Your Boy Johnson (aka GRANDPA)

I couldn’t believe it when I heard that you had gone but who are we to query God. You touched every bit of my life when I was with you at Federal College of Education Abeokuta, you accommodated me and many of us, you fed us and cared for us as your soul brothers; well , continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord till we meet again, good night.

TRIBUTE TO AN ICON. 'What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?Shall he deliver His soul from the hand of the grave"?Psalm 89:48. It was with a great shock and heavy heart I received the news of your transition to glory. You were a devoted Christian, very caring and loving. Always smiling, but very serious. A teacher per excellence. I remember your song of admonition to me as a student then. " Omo le we o, ka we re " Oju koko. UNCLE ONIYIDE sun re o. We shall greatly miss you. My prayer is that the good Lord shall uphold the family and grant us the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. Heaven has gained a good soul. Sleep on beloved till the ressuretion morning. FROM REV. JOHN KOLAWOLE ONI.

The little time we met is still fresh in my memory, a man down to earth. We thank God almighty for a life well spent, who are we to question God? But I am sure u are resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God console and comfort all the family.Rest well my in-law

Bro Kola, a loving family man and a good soldier of the Lord; who served the Lord in His generation. Your departure from the terrestrial to the celestial was too soon but I submit to God’s sovereignty whose thoughts and ways are not the same as ours. Saying that, we will miss you; will be an understatement. You are an embodiment of love, care, hospitality and comradery. Thank you for your smiles and your kindness. You fought a good fight of faith. Enjoy your sweet rest in the bosom of the Lord. Good night my brother and co-laborer in God’s vineyard. Adieu!!! Pastor Niyi Moses Bayewu

Bro Oniyide, You were a man of many virtues, a man of honour, a hard working man, a true friend with sincere heart, no wonder you left very positive impacts in every circle in which you find yourself. You were true to yourself and never despised the days of little beginning – you transformed the smallest of ideas into great things and made big the return from the least expected ideas. I’ve watched you pick up several business ideas with the same zeal and positive attitude, you built and transformed them without shame or fear, to the envy of all. I salute your courage, your resilience and selflessness. When I think of you, sometimes I shed tears, life goes on from day to day but something is out of place. I battle with the choice of words to describe your death at this time, but I believe the Lord knows best, who are we to question the supremacy of God! “Boda mi Oniyide”, you are missed so dearly. I will give almost anything to once more see your smiling face. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet at His feet. O d'igba ! ==> Bola Kolawole <==

Sir kolly as fondly called at Egbado College Ilaro has fought a good fight, finished his course and kept the faith as well. A very pleasant and humble fellow has passed on, so sad. May your soul find rest in the bossom of the Highest on the throne and uphold the family you left behind. Adieu sir Kolly till we meet to part no more.

I was only a part of your journey towards the end. Heard so much about your positivity and tenacity that I wished I knew you earlier. My heartfelt and deepest condolences to your family and everyone connected. I pray for God’s comfort for everyone of them. May God grant you rest and peace in His bosom. It is well!

It was such a sad news to hear of your early home call . We are however consoled in the fact that God alone determines a man’s time. Rest on the bosom of Jesus Egbon, a man of simple mien you always made us laugh when around you but all that is gone. We pray that God will uphold the rest of the Kolawole family. Adieu… On behalf of the entire Olopade family.

Bro Oniyide, please rest and rest in the blossom of lord Jesus Jesus Christ. May the good God protect the family you left behind. Goodnight till we meet again and part no more.

May the Lord grant you eternal rest

May his soul rest in eternal peace ☮️. My sincere condolences to you all; I pray your strength in the Lord as you journey through the loss of your love one..
