I am priviledge to know Baba and from him i know you can come from nowhere and still be somebody in life.Aman who is ready to stand by what He believes in and see it through, a fighter who never give up .Baba you have gone but prosterity will put you down in the anal of history as one of the people who rule.We will all miss you but we take solace in the fact that your life was a well spent one that's worth emulating.

My Memory

ADEMAKINWA ADETILOYE Jun 24, 2008

To you only when i can't say goodbye.
To you even when the dawn drew its shade.
To you i owe the privilege to be called Father.
To you i owe the right to say thank you, for all you have done Baba.
Ademakinwa Adetiloye

Gone but not forgotten!

Death why so soon? Why would u take 'baba' so soon. How do I thank him for all his love, these past years? Who would console my darlyn grandmother? Who would have the boldness to tell her that her first son has gone before her?There are a lot of questions in my heart. I feel so sad that i would never get to see him in life but my consolation is that he has gone to be with his creator. My heart is heavy. Why would death snatch away loved ones? Onipora, you lived a selfless life, you fought a good fight. You were a leader and you died a leader. May your kind soul rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more. From; SIMISOLA AKINYEMI-KEHINDE(niece)
