Dear Oyekan family, I am truly sorry for your loss. Although I am coming to you as a stranger, I was moved by your kind words of Mr. Oyekan. I thought it so encouraging to read your words "We do not mourn as those who do not have hope, we are confident in the legacy you have left behind". Of course losing a loved one is never easy, we should never feel weighed down because God promises us hope for the future. Revelation 21: 4 reads "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, nor will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". Although I did not know Gbadebo, he was obviously loved by many and for many reasons. The time will come when god will restore life to those whom have fallen asleep in death (John 5:28, 29) and I know that Oyekan will be delighted to see his loving family again soon! I wish you all the best.

To the family and friends of Gbadebo. I am sorry for your loss. I just wanted to share some encouraging words with you during this time of grief. I would like to share a scripture with you that brought me comfort when I lost my father. It's found at 1John -5:28,29 where it says that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous also the scripture at Psalms chapter 37 verse 10 and 11 tells us that the righteous and the meek will inherit the earth and they will possess it forever how encouraging that is for us to know that we will be able to see our dead loved ones again in the very near future.

The greatest tragedy in Life is not death but Life without a purpose...Myles monroe. Daddy Oyekan; thank you for living a life of purpose and Leaving a Legacy of passing the baton. We see the results of your labour in Ilorin ; in all your children both biological and spiritual. Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." Revelation 14:13

I never met you Daddy, but indeed you passed through Ilorin and it's Christians. Your seed...Bro Dunsin is a replica of Greatness....Rest on daddy, for there's joy in Heaven as the Angels welcome you Home.

It is evident you were a great general Daddy with Dunsin as your son and the great testimonies you left. Rest in the Lord Daddy.

Only greatness can begat the kind of greatness you son Dunsin embodies. This is how I know you were a great general. Rest well Daddy. Your legacy lives on........
