TRIBUTE TO BROTHER YEMi Brother mi, Why so sudden !!. I never knew anything was brewing. Each time we spoke you always assured me that there was no cause for alarm since we were under the protection of the Almighty. Jesus is Lord!!. Such was your faith in God. This unshakable characteristic of yours also came to the fore recently during the departure of your close friend. As the second child in our father’s large family, you always played a unifying role along with the eldest in the family, late Dr. Shina Fawole to forestall any sibling rivalry. You knew many of us from birth at Papa’s clinics in Lagos, Ibadan or Sapele. You were very close to Papa growing up. Papa’s cousin, Brother James (90yrs old now) on learning of your passage to the great beyond recalled with nostalgia how you took him from Ibadan on Christmas Day in 1960 on his first visit to Papa at Iganmu Lagos. Ha Brother!! It’s as though you elders in our immediate nuclear family have agreed to leave us so soon, one after the other. May God grant us all reprieve and comfort at this trying period in Jesus Name. Amen Brother Yemi , you were the only one who appreciated my love to sleep at the earliest opportunity and made it a duty to ask me about my “waterbed” that “ relaxes” me to sleep at the slightest opportunity. We had our side jokes.,. ...who will now hail me as “Olori Bakare”? to which I would normally respond “it can only be me, one and only”. I remember vividly your quiet but firm advice to me at the family house in Iganmu, Lagos not to jump up and down on a mattress that Papa directed should be brought in. Of course I did not heed your advice and consequently I got my first and only “good beating” you all talked about during our discussions. Honestly you were the only one among our brothers that was always quite cool and unruffled, every time, come what may. Your total belief in God resonated in all that you did and you never wasted an opportunity to encourage us to continue to trust, know and appreciate the goodness of God Almighty. I thank God for the privilege of being one of your siblings, especially when I remember the story I was told about my birth and how you were instrumental in urgently calling Papa’s attention when Auntie Mi was about to give birth to me in the middle of the night at our residence then opposite Mapo Hall, Ibadan.. You have run your race successfully and I pray that God will give you that Crown He has reserved for His faithful servants. We shall meet at His feet to part no more in Jesus Name. Amen. Sleep on Brother. Omo Atologun, Omo Aresa, Omo Ba’adun. Ni Iresa o ni Iresa, gbogbo Omo Ode ni Iresa ile. It is well. Dunni Bakare - [ ]

I was a very little boy when I met Uncle Yemi. He was introduced to us as our dear Auntie’s husband to be. Since then I witnessed how he took our family as his own. When he saw I was not achieving my potential, he called my Dad and said get this boy straightened out! He loved my Auntie and his family very much. He always had a kind smile and kind words to share with anyone he was speaking to. His legacy is the kind of children he and Auntie Sade have raised. Hardworking, respectful and loving God and His kingdom. You have run your race and you have finished the race and I trust that one day, we shall meet at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ to rejoice forever more. May God continue to strengthen the Oluwole family.

There are extremely very few times you are not interested in writing or don't know what to write. This is one of them. I didn't know I'd be writing this now. Pastor Fawole, was a father and grandfather to me, my wife and children respectively. I don't what to start on how we met over 30 years ago, the friendship, the paddy paddy talks and advices! Wow, this is a big blow to us as a family. Our friendship grew so much even to my parents and my siblings and their own families. Very few people have his charisma and calming aura. The Lord God Almighty grant him eternal peace and us left behind the fortitude to bear this loss, in Jesus name

I have two distinct sets of memories about Uncle Yemi. One set of memories was growing up and knowing him and the Fawole family as my relatives (I didn't quite know how we were related) but there's a way in Nigeria that people just become known as family! I remember him as a strict and disciplined man even though he always had a smile on his face. We were in the same church at the time (this was before his RCCG days) and he and my beautiful Aunty Sade were respected leaders there. We often went to their house in Bodija and I particularly remember Adebiyi's naming ceremony and how as a baby, they would sometimes drop him off at our house for us to babysit him (Adebiyi, I'm not trying to embarrass you o haha). Fast forward to my second set of memories...I grew up, met a handsome guy, fell in love, prepared to get married and then one day when talking, he mentions his cousins or "aburos" as we Yorubas like to call younger relatives, he mentions "the Fawoles" Alero, Moyo... And I'm thinking but wait, those are my own aburos too... Then came the argument of which one of us was more "related" to the Fawoles... I lost hands down when I discovered that my guy's mother was actually Uncle Yemi's immediate younger sister!!! Ahhh how could this be? Long story short that was when I discovered Uncle Yemi wasn't really my blood uncle, but as God would have it, I married his nephew and so he continued to be my dear "Uncle Yemi" and my lovely aburos are still my lovely aburos! I'm happy to have had Uncle Yemi in both parts of my life. He has left a wonderful legacy in my "bestest" aburos and my forever beautiful Aunty Sade. Indeed, Eyin won ti da!

Tribute - Pastor Adeyemi Oluwole a God's General. Coming to know you was great. Our meeting in the vineyard of our Lord Jesus Christ's business doing Ministry work together bring joy and happiness always. Your smiles, simplicity, dedication and humility was very contagious among brethren as we live like family without class. Let me recollect when you serve under me as Parish, Area & Zonal Pastor, It was a beauty to behold as you put into use into the Ministry all your financial strength, wisdom, knowledge, experience, ruggedness, obedience and understanding. You are Older than us in age as at the time we work together, reason why I do called you daddy, yet you are obedient, trusted, loyal, a proven genuine reliable Man of God. Worthy of note !. The Messiah Sanctuary (Pioneer Pastor in charge) Ashi Ibadan as we know today, all glory to God but praises to you for your ruggedness, sincerity, commenttment and Obedience to Authority Command. It was a rugged story from a Nursery Primary School's Compound to a Member's Car Garage. Yet, Messiah Sanctuary during your time despite locational challenges was well organised, human resources was well structured. I remember a time you were strongly challenged by a neighbour who vowed Messiah Sanctuary Ashi Ibadan will not stay at her present location........hummm, how time fly. Pastor Oluwole Adeyemi, you have fought the good fight of faith, you have seen and conquered. Rest till we meet at the Lord's feet where there will be no night. May your good legacy linger on. To our beloved mummy, children, grand children and entire family pls accept our condolences. God will comfort you and keep you strong to the beautiful end in Jesus mighty name amen. Adieu ! Pastor Oluwole Adeyemi. Pastor and Pastor Mrs Olaniyan Joshua.A.Tosin - Pastor in charge of Province, Abia Province 3 Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria.

On May 17, 2021, l was awakened by a phone call about your demise. It was like a bad dream; I was in disbelief and in shock, as I was not aware of your ill-health. The last time we spoke was about two months ago when you saw the devastation created by the hurricane in Texas on CNN, and you called to check on us and make sure we were fine. If I had known that would be my last conversation with you, I would have stayed on the call much longer, to chat with you. Brother Yemi loved family! He would always call to ask about my children (his nephews from his late brother). I remember vividly that on one of my trips to Nigeria, I attended church with him. During one of the prayer sessions, the pastor asked the congregants to speak in tongues. I did not. Brother Yemi noticed, and when we arrived at home, he asked if I could in fact speak in tongues, to which I responded, “No.” He said we would pray in the evening, at which time, he advised that I should simply yield to the Holy Spirit, and I would be baptized with the gift of tongues. After a few minutes of prayer, I realized that I was speaking in another language. He encouraged me to keep on speaking, and the tongues came forth. I will always treasure his encouragement that led to my ability to speak in tongues. Brother Yemi was a soft-spoken man of God. He studied the Word and lived it. He served his God without any reservation; he was God-fearing, and he devoted himself totally to the work of God. Just like 2 Timothy 4:7 states, Brother Yemi fought a good fight; he finished his race, and he kept the faith. Rest in Perfect Peace until the resurrection day, when we meet to part no more. Goodnight, Goodnight, and Goodnight, Brother Yemi.
