Writing this has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I started and stopped more times than I can count. How do you put a lifetime of love, lessons, and memories into a few paragraphs? That dreaded call came on a quiet Sunday morning—the one I prayed would never come. And yet, even in my grief, I find peace knowing you lived a full and meaningful life. I submit to God’s perfect will.

When I think of you, Dad, I see two chapters: the years of my childhood, and the years after Mum passed. In both, you were my anchor. Your voice still echoes in my head—*“While others are losing their head, keep yours.”* That line has been my moral compass till date.
You were committed to our education. My love for English? That’s all you. From your obsession with punctuations, library at Felele, you planted the seeds early. I still remember that day at UI when you enrolled me for JAMB extra-murals. We were on the queue, someone shoved us, and you didn’t hesitate—you pushed back. You stood your ground for me. That moment, simple as it was, has stayed with me for over 35 years. You were my shield.

You taught me how to knot a tie when I was barely tall enough to see the mirror. l felt like a mini professor anytime l was able to knot different styles.

After Mum passed, people started calling me “your wife”—a joke, yes, but also truth. At 15, I had to grow up fast. You were grieving, yet you still found the strength to hold us together. You filled the void with grace, never once making it about you. You gave, even when you had little. You were simplicity in human form—unbothered. I like to think I inherited a bit of that calmness from you.

In my cheeky moments, I used to say to whenever cared to listen, “You have got at least 10 more years, then you can go meet your Maker.” It was bore out of care and concern, l thought the longer you lived l would do more for you. Well, God clearly had His own plan—and He chose to take you when the ovation was loudest.

Thank you for the memories. From sneaking me out of the house to Liberty Stadium in order to watch football matches (IICC) - l remember the games between IICC and Stationery Stores of Lagos. Mum was convinced I did be trampled, yet you managed to get to the games. This was my 1st love for any sports and further earned me the nickname - Adiele (for those who know).

For the endless debates and yes, even our “arguments” about your welfare—you were so adamant about certain things, but so was I. Apple does not fall far from the tree *laughs*.

There is so much more I could say, but space won’t allow. I did my best for you while you were here. I hope you felt that. I hope you knew.
Rest well, Dad. Heaven just got a little more stylish—tie perfectly knotted, of course.

Love you always. God loves you best. 😇
Your son, Adeolu less

Today, we honour a remarkable man — Baba Adebayo Adu — who lived well beyond ninety years and filled each of those years with warmth, joy, and steady care. He was more than a close friend to us; he was a father in spirit, a guardian of pleasure, and a believer in kindness. From the moment our lives intersected, you took me in—not by blood, but by heart. You became a father in presence, a friend in spirit, a mentor in wisdom. To call you “friend” alone never felt enough.
You were a man of joy. Your laughter-filled rooms, your voice-warmed phones, and your weekly check-in calls were a gift I anticipated. Often, he would reach out, not because he had to, but because he cared. You would ask with genuine concern, “How are you doing?” — then share your gratitude for your children, calling them “very caring,” giving thanks to God for each one. In those moments, I saw the depth of your humility and the breadth of your love. And with gentle pride in his voice, he would say, “I have an adopted son” — referring to me — proud of who I was becoming, hopeful for every step I took.
The name you gave me, your “adopted son.” You said it with pride, with hope, with confidence in who I might become. That simple phrase spoke volumes — you believed in me, you held me close, you included me in a circle of love reserved for family.
You guided with gentleness, supported with kindness, corrected with patience, and encouraged with faith. In your over 90 years, you lived fully and gave freely. You taught me what it means to be present, to care beyond obligation, to rejoice in others’ lives as if they were your own.
Though you have departed this world, your voice lingers in memory, your lessons echo in my days, and your love remains in my heart. I am better for knowing you. I am ever grateful for what you were in my life. I will strive to honour you in the ways I love, the ways I reach out, the ways I walk gently and joyfully through each day.
Rest in peace, Baba Adebayo Adu. Thank you for being a father, friend, blessing, and example. From your proud “adopted son,”
Korede Asuni less

The news broke our hearts, and the entire atmosphere seemed to reflect the weight of our grief. It was cool, quiet, and even drizzled a little, like heaven itself was mourning with us. Still, in that moment, I want to glorify God's hands in his life and in his passing — because my granddad truly lived with purpose, love, and intention.

Granddad was fun, incredibly kind, and deeply intentional with the way he loved us. One of the best memories I’ll always hold onto is spending Christmas with him. The excitement in his voice when he knew we were coming — you could feel it. He would get drinks, treats, and anything he thought would make us comfortable. And even though he didn’t always cook, he would ask what we wanted to eat and give us money to make it happen. That was just his way — thoughtful, giving, and full of joy.

He would buy us clothes, bracelets, shoes — little gifts that said, “I see you. I care.” And he never missed a chance to introduce us to his friends with pride. His morning calls to my dad were always just to ask about us — his child and his family . That was the only reason he called: to check in, to love us from afar.

He loved people who spoke their minds. He would say, “Be free — talk to me.” He’d ask, “Do you talk to your cousins?” because he cared so much about unity in the family. He wanted us close. He wanted us to know and love one another.

Every Christmas morning, before anyone else woke up, he was already back from church — calm and content. He’d go to bed early, take his soda with every meal, and just quietly show us how to live with rhythm, intention, and faith.

He taught me so much — to be thoughtful, to love my family, to care deeply, and to do things with meaning. Granddad didn’t just live — he poured into us.

And even though he's gone, his legacy lives in every Christmas memory, in every act of kindness, in every call we make to check on one another. He lives in us.

So today, I say thank you — for the laughter, the love, the lessons, and the quiet strength. You made us feel seen, you brought us together, and you loved out loud.

We love you, Granddad. Rest easy. Rest full. Rest free. 🕊️

I first met Daddy many years ago at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), when Olumide was in his 100-level. At that time, there were no GSM networks in Akure, which made finding someone on campus quite a challenge.

Daddy had come to visit Olumide but wasn’t sure how to locate him. As fate would have it, he approached me and a few other students, asking if we knew a certain Olumide Adu. I smiled and replied, “Yes, I do! He’s my friend and classmate and a pretty nice dude.”

Daddy’s face instantly lit up. With so much pride and excitement, he exclaimed, “Olumide Adu is my son! Adu is my son!” His joy was so contagious that we all burst into laughter. Although it took us a little while to actually find Olumide, that moment stayed with me. From that day onward, I began calling Olumide “Adu is my son!” a phrase that still makes us laugh whenever we remember it.

Another memorable encounter with Daddy happened one weekend when Olumide, Femi (Skila!), and I decided to travel from school to Ibadan. Olumide mentioned it had been a while since he’d seen his father and wanted to spend the weekend at home, so he invited me along.

We arrived in Ibadan late that evening. Daddy had already gone to bed but still got up to welcome us warmly before retiring again. The next morning, to my surprise, he was up early preparing breakfast for everyone. I was genuinely moved by the love and care he showed not just to his son, but to all of us as if we were his own children.

From that day, I made it a point to visit Ibadan whenever I could. Over time, Daddy and I became close. We would sit and talk about everything politics, sports, life experiences, and beyond. His wisdom, humility, and warmth left a lasting impression on me.

Daddy was truly a Man of Honor, kind, loving, humble, and patient. His life was a beautiful example of what it means to lead with grace and to love without boundaries.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace, Daddy. You will always be remembered with fondness and respect. less
