savo and his lovely niece and nephew

You were a friend to my elder ones, practically my family. Really a happy guy, always full of laughs and had interesting gist, your company was always interesting. One of your very best gestures to me was when you gave me your lakers jersey, number 34 'shaq's', i felt like the coolest kid on the block wearing it. Or when we had a bet on France 98 final, you went for brazil, I for france, then you said for every goal our teams concede one knock on the head, France won 3-0 hahahahahaha. You were really humble, me as a kid then, how guys your age would really play that much with me or the days you would play ball with me and my friends in front of my house. I last saw you in 2012 at Jiro's wedding, i sat beside you, much laughs and gist as usual with your white agbada. Premo said she saw you on the 28th,she forgot to tell us, so when i told her on the 30th that 'Sis remember savoe?'' then the news, she wailed!!!! The sorrow is great for an outsider like me, imagine family but the Joy that i knew you is greater. Goodbye big bro. #deathneverwins

God saw I was getting tired As he put his arms around meAs he whispered come with me There is a place for you in heaven Where there is No worries, no suffering and no painAll you have to do is look up to the sky And know that you will see meAs I am an angel in the stars What a great place to be I am an angel of God and a Sparkle that is so bright I shall be Know that I'm watching over you Just look up and see I'm looking watching over you Please don't be sad for me I'm your angel in the stars That bright star when you look up,Where I am happy now You will see and one day You will be with me..." Your sparkle may physically be gone one earth, but your light shines on in our heart and in the sky. You shall be greatly missed Savo, but you are in place that God reserves for special people who are too good for this world. Rest In Eternal Peace Kemi Oyeyinka

May God forgive your sins and receive your soul as you're laid to rest today. Farewell my friend. Odigba!

I still can't believe you're gone! It hasn't sunk in yet. All our times of gisting, laughing and jesting around, there just wasn't a dull moment with you. Sanya, Savo, Savo D'Way, Savagee, Vovo nash...you had so many nicknames, just as you knew so many people, but I called you Ishola! I remember how you always burst out laughing whenever I called you Ishola in a high pitch voice, you will be greatly missed. I still can't picture a family event without your presence, the world is definitely missing a jolly fellow. As proceedings begin today to lay you to rest, I pray God comforts your family and all those affected by your passing, may they find peace and strength in this very difficult time. Sun re o Ishola!

Last time i saw or talked to you was early 2015 at my wedding. You were like a brother to me, though we fell out for a while (just like siblings do), you chose that fateful day to mend fences and move one from the past which i truly deeply appreciated. I really wish time gave us the opportunity to go back to how we used to be, but sadly, death snatched you away from us & this cruel cold world way too soon. I know you're in a better place. May the Angels be by your side as you lay in peace. Rest on my dear bro... Kemy Ade

Don't Grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me I took His hand when I heard Him call I turned my back and left it all I could not stay another day To Laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that place at close of day If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full, I savoured much Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch Perhaps my time seems all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart and share with me God wanted me now, He set me free

Met Sanya some 15 years ago when he still lived in Satellite town. Sanya was a special friend, very humble although we fought a lot. Sadly we were in the middle of one of our plenty fight sessions and weren't talking before I heard about his passing and my heart bleeds for that... Savo I hope you can read this..you know I have nothing but love for you. May you find eternal rest in the bossom of the Lord and may God comfort the family you left behind. Adieu dear friend!

My neice lost her idol. All she did was talk about her daddy, "My daddy this, my daddy that, my daddy will buy me this, mummy can I speak to my daddy." Honestly, they loved each other beyond words. Sanya would face time her many times during the day and he had in depth conversations with her about randomness such as the Sun, indomie, why she was naughty or why she was refusing to get her hair done. Sanya knew how intelligent his daughter was, he would be happy that she recently learned basic first aid, how to put someone into the recovery position, how to check for injuries, breathing and so forth. (Sanya, I hope you're reading this) He was looking forward to the day that they would live together as a family. During the chaos of finding out he had passed on, Shia overheard her mum cry out his name and she ran and shouted "No mummy, not my daddy, my daddy isn't in heaven, only your daddy is, not mine" WOW! What do you say to that?.... what can you say? Sanya, you've gone too early, but who are we to question God. May your soul rest in perfect peace and be rest assured your family, both wife and daughter, will be looked after. Those who meet Shia will recognise that her father lives through her, she will make you proud. Your little princess will grow up to know what it means to love someone unconditionally, just like you showed her. Never forgotten, simply enjoying the luxuries of heaven. R.I.P

One month today! Rest in perfect peace Ishola mi, we love you but God loves you more. Your courage, your smile, your grace will be deeply missed, he gladdened the hearts of those who have had the privilege of knowing him. An exceptional father to our daughter, a devoted husband, a brother and friend to many!!! God knows best, sleep well my King till we meet again to part no more. Adieu
