Ibidapo....questions without answers, sadness sometimes too deep for tears but also the glimmer of hope. You made your world a much better place by being in it, no doubt, although for too short a time. Nearly impossible to imagine my world without you in it, but you are beyond such earthly things now, aren't you? I'll keep your last voice note to me forever. Rest easy, my friend. See you after a time.

Even in death, you will continue to inspire me. You were such a sweet sweet brother. Really sweet, kind and thoughtful. Thank you for your kind words, your kind deeds, your humor and your really large heart. For bringing me food from quarters all the time .. You fought a great fight, a true soldier, and I know Jesus is proud of you. Thank you for not giving up, I would really remember your Faith Olumide. I’m certain we would meet at his feet. Rest well Olumide, rest sweet ❤️

I can never forget you brother Olumide when I was still a Kid you raised me like your son you make a lot of sacrifices for me even when it wasn’t comfortable for you I love you so much big brother

I Have known you all my life to be a peaceful person. You fought a good fight Rest easy brother

Olumba! It’s too early to be writing you a tribute. You deserved every good thing in life my bro. You’ve always been a great stand up guy. Bold, truthful, smart and always with a positive attitude to life. From the days of playing football together with Bussy Onayemi, Dayo Lawal, and Co at Road 20c to Zion hostel at OAUPD to other fond memories too many to count, I will never forget you bro. In all this, I have only one hope; that I’ll see you again at the feet of Jesus. Love you Olumide ❤️

Kutzeri!!! , You're selfless and kind hearted. I'll hold on tightly to the memories we shared growing up. I will miss you greatly. May your soul find eternal rest. Rest Easy , my friend and brother.

Olumide, you were a fighter and your strength and willpower kept us going. You illuminated everywhere you touched and talking to you always brightened the day. Heaven just gained another angel. Rest on eternally, dear brother. We will surely miss you

Olumide, it is with profound sadness that I write this. Words cannot describe the depth of this loss. You were a truly loving and caring friend, a kindhearted gentleman whose presence brought warmth to everyone around you. Since our days as childhood friends, I have nothing but cherished memories of your kindness, and your generosity. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may God grant your family the strength and comfort to bear this great loss. You will be deeply missed.

Olumide! I’m glad we got to share experiences during our undergrad years and I’m proud of all you accomplished thereafter. Rest well my friend, I know you’re in a better place now.

Hmmmm,so no more "Heyo small mama"😭 I'll miss our long calls I'll miss your stubbornness I'll miss hearing " I swear to God Almighty " I'll miss you teasing me all the time Damn,this hurts💔💔💔 Thank you for the privilege of being your sister. You will forever be in our hearts

Olumide was a sweetheart. I’m terrible with keeping in touch but he never made a fuss about it. He always reached out to me every once in a while and I honestly appreciated that. He would always send me messages on my birthday and I will do same but I haven’t done that in about 3 years and I now feel terrible for not at least sending a birthday message on September 11th this year. I will definitely miss you, God has prepared a special place for you I’m sure. Rest well my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey Okere like i used to call you. Its so sad to write this but i’m glad you are free from pains and in a better place. We shared so many memories together from our time in staff school to happiness club, summer lessons, alma jamb lesson in white house, to pre-degree(moro) , to the formation of zee-unit, and so on. I remember the drive from your house to Tebz’s house circa 2013  and what happened before we got to tobi’s house. We created that WhatsApp group so that we could encourage you , talk more , and see you happy. I still remember your 10th year birthday like it was yesterday. Okere, I recently checked the group’s chat and listened to the voice note you dropped sometimes ago and tobi’s reaction and I laughed. It took me a lot to write this because I can’t not believe you are gone. Miss you brother . Rest easy Okere

I knew Olumide as someone with a kind heart who always took care of the people that he loved. Even through his pain he would put a smile on his face to ease those around him. Always willing to lend a hand and help me with my career aspirations even without me asking. He just cared. He was dearly loved and will forever remain in my heart. Rest in paradise Olumide 🤍

You don't find many "Big bros" younger in age but that was exactly the energy and impact you had on me and many of us. You'll be missed dearly, and hope you rest in perfect peace my big bro.

There are no words, the memories we shared..... From playing football in front of your house in 20c as kids, to hitting our folks' cars, From rooming together in Faj to those days in Ogudu. I will forever cherish the adventures, laughter and moments we shared. Your passing leaves a very big void Its never goodbye, Rest in peace my brother.

May your gentle soul rest on dear Olumide and the good Lord be with your family now and always.

Rest in perfect peace my brother

Rest in perfect peace my brother

Olumide, the memories we shared are truly priceless and will never be forgotten. You were a selfless soul, always putting others before yourself. A devoted lover of God, innovative, and hardworking, you were the kind of person who made it a priority to stay connected with everyone. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Rest peacefully, my brother. We love you deeply.

Olumba Mufasa! That was the last name I called you in our chat when you wished me a happy birthday. I’m still in denial about your passing, simply because it still feels unreal and impossible. One thing is for sure, you brought smiles and joy to many lives and faces. It was never a sad moment around you. Rest easy Olumide and I pray the angels will welcome you home.

Olumide, some of us call him Kurtzer, A vibrant, resourceful and enterprising gentleman. His innovative spirit, boundless energy and unwavering determination were truly inspiring in our early days when we discussed cofounding a social enterprise. Kurtzer's energy and pleasant demeanor in every chat left a lasting impact on everyone he met. Though he has left us too soon, his vision will continue to inspire and uplift. Rest in peace, Kurtzer. You will be forever missed.

Rest In Peace Lumi 🕊

Olumide will always be remembered as one who loved life and the people who life brought his way. I saw several times how he displayed fierce love towards his siblings like a mother hen. He'll be sorely missed by all who knew him. I pray the God comforts the whole family. Rest great Kurtzer!

Olumighty, you were always so kind, thoughtful, and supportive, never hesitating to lend a hand when needed. I’ll always remember you as the first person who extended a genuine arm of friendship to me on the very first day I visited Hamec to write my entrance exam. From that moment, you never stopped being my friend. Even after I got in, you remained a constant presence—caring, loving, and always there for me. Over a decade after high school, nothing ever changed between us. Your warmth and friendship stayed the same. September 11 will never feel the same without our usual banter. I’ll miss you deeply, my wonderful friend. Sun re Olumighty ❤️.

Our adventures were priceless. Rest in peace my friend.

Kurtzer, This hurts alot but I know you're in peace now. I can't question God but I'm grateful our paths crossed. Rest in Peace Brother!

The childhood memories we shared can never be forgotten. You forever remain in my heart Olumide.

My very funny Olumide words fail me and i can't still believe you are gone. well i will just always comfort myself with your smile. May God grant you eternal rest and comfort your family and friends. i love you OLUMIDE🕊️

Olumide, It’s still so hard to believe you’re truly gone. You were the kind of person whose friendship was a rare gift—kind, thoughtful, and unwavering. You cared with your whole heart, always protecting those you loved, and you weren’t afraid to call us out when we needed it. You had a strength and resilience that was truly inspiring. Your calm spirit, your timely check-ins, and the way you brought light and comfort will forever stay with me. Thank you for being such a steady, honest, and loving person. You are deeply missed, more than words can ever express.

I don’t have the money words…pretty sure I talked you ear off when you knew me. I am grateful I experienced you, this time, for the friendship, for bringing me in the fold.. you gave me a family.. you were so gentle, so loyal and such an amazing brother. I hope you we make you proud, I will make you proud. Thank you for giving me the gift that was you, I’m just so glad I atleast got to know you for a while. I hope you know how much respect I have for you and how much love I have for our person. I’ll have his back for life, I promise you. You just rest, we’ll take it from here. Sun Re O ❤️

My bro. I will always have fond memories of living together in our tiny BQ in Road 7 quarters. Hope the angels don’t judge you for choosing to double your socks. Rest easy man, till we meet again :)

I don’t believe words can describe the loss and shock of this moment, but we celebrate the life of person who loved and fought for the ones who he treasured the most and I’m honoured to have been part of those group of people. Big bro, you will be missed and you will forever be in my heart now and forever. You took care of me and everyone and now it’s time for God to take care of you. Rest easy bro, I love you and see you again.

If I knew that call in September would be the last, I would probably have stayed on the phone a little longer. Oh, what I'd give to hear "Auntie Ileri" again. You fought, and you fought well. The sun set too early, but we do not mourn like those without hope. Rest well, my brother. You will be sorely missed.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the loss of my dear cousin, who left us far too soon. Your passing has left a gaping hole in our heart, and we miss you more with each passing day. I cherish the memories of our time together while growing up,your bright smile and warm greetings always lit up my day. You had a way of making everyone feel welcome and included. Your mod of gentile smile and value for people inspired me to be a better person. Your friendship was a treasure, and I feel grateful to have had you in my life. Though you may be gone, your memory will live on in my heart. I'll continue to celebrate your life, your laughter, and your love. Rest in peace, dear cousin. You will never be forgotten.

Saying goodbye so soon just feels very wrong. So, I'll just say 'I love you' and know you are with me always.

Olumide, hmm Naso life be kurtzer??olumutenbe.. Olumucheche.. The memories are fresh of how we grew up.. The journey of life has come to an end for you bitter pill to swallow I hope you continue to be the jolly good fellow in the next sojourn to paradise.. Rest in power olumide olowookere.. WORDS FAIL ME..

Olumide!!!! I'm still coming to terms with the fact that you are truly gone. Can't even put the words together Thank you for being an amazing brother You'll forever be in our hearts. May God grant you eternal rest

Still lost with words… but all I can say is thanks for all the memories shared together.

Paddy mi, I still find it so difficult to type this right now and i am still so teary from this loss but who are we to question the creator ? I know how hard you fought to live, thank you for being my friend and confidant, my story in Herts cannot be complete without you. I will forever cherish and hold dearly the moments we spent together chatting and catching up about life. My friend you were so strong and you had your life planned out, even when you were below weather you still worked so hard to make sure things were done. Your Madam is proud of you and so are we all. Thank you for the impact you had in my life. Bobo i go miss you gan Goodnight paddy mi 😭💔 X

There are some people who die and you feel like it’s unfair for the world to keep Going on . You’re one of those people Olumide and I’m glad I got to experience you. It really really feels pretentious writing this since you won’t see it but I’m sorry you got dealt with the short end of life. I’m sorry all your grand dreams and aspirations were cut short. I’m sorry your body turned against you. I’m sorry I was too detached to know your struggles and battles. I’m sorry you checked in on me all the time and I never really matched it. I really hope you’re looking down on the rest of us whilst having the time of your life in heaven. Rest with the Angels❤️ Foye.

Rest in peace my dear Kurtzer ♥️♥️♥️ I know you’re in a better place. Love you forever.

Sam as I always call you,you were more than a work colleague to me,you were a brother, we shared so many thoughts,advises,pain and worries together. I remember my first shadow shift with you, you took me like a brother and told me what I needed to know on the job. I wish you never left us this soon,but who am I to question God. Rest on brotherly, and may the good Lord comfort your dad,siblings,your loving madam( as you always call her) and us your colleagues. I and Dai will definitely miss you.

Dear Olu I am trying so hard to even pen down a tribute to you. I am literally lost for words trying to describe you. Olu, you were a young and vibrant man so full of life . You had ur life all planned out and you were focused. You knew what you wanted. Olu you were kind to a fault. You were more than a friend to Demola, you took him like he was your own brother. You gave him your shoulder to lean on when he needed one. Thank you very much. Ah Olumide you fought so hard to live but had to submit totally to the will of God to go and rest from all the all the pains. Who re we to question God? Your life was short but very memorable. Olu you can never be forgotten. Your life was a blessing your memory a treasure. May your kind and gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Forever in our hearts. You will be greatly missed.

Mide was a truly lovely person, someone whose kindness and warmth left a lasting impression. In our conversations, his genuine nature shone through, and it’s no surprise to hear his friends and relatives speak so highly of him. At just 33 years old, he touched the lives of so many with his goodness and left a legacy of love and positivity. May his memory continue to inspire and bring comfort to all who knew and cherished him. Rest in peace.

It's difficult to live with the thoughts that you are no longer with us. But we take solace knowing that you will never know any more pain. Good night brother. 2good 2be 4gotten!

My dear brother! Olumba Kurtzer. In the last few years, you fought valiantly. I wish the outcome were different, but God knows best. You were more than a friend, you were a sibling, source of laughter, strength and warmth. From our earliest days of football on the Road 20 pitch, fights, arguments, conversations, sharing dreams and silly jokes, to the recent years of watching you face life’s toughest battle, you embodied resilience in a way that inspired everyone around you. Though you are no more with us, the wonderful memories and impact remains. I’m so glad you became closer to God, and I find solace in the fact that you are resting in His bosom. Thank you for being my friend, big brother and inspiration. I will miss you more than words can express. Rest well, my brother. Legends Can Never Die 😇❤️🕊️

No one younger than me had the guts to challenge me like you did. You were never afraid to say how you felt. I'm going to miss this forever. Sùn re o àbúrò
