ONE YEAR AFTER!REMEMBERING OUR BROTHER, ABDUL-RAZAQ ADEWALE AYODEJI ALADE AGBOLUAJE (8TH JUNE, 1955 – 31ST OCTOBER, 2024)
Thursday, the 31st of October, 2024, was like any other day, bright, sunny, and pleasant. But it turned out unpleasant for us later in the day.
Our brother, Wale Agboluaje had slipped in the bathroom at his Shasha Oguntade residence in Lagos, apparently hitting his head against the tiled floor.
But help eventually came from neighbors and some of his children, who had looked him up at home and at the office earlier in the day.
They broke into his apartment and found him on the floor (apparently face-up) but still breathing.
He made it to the Tendertouch Hospital, Shasha.
Despite medical attention, he gave up later in the evening.
He would have been 70 on the 8th June this year. Indeed, he had had a meeting with his children to plan ahead of his birthday celebration.
We grieve, we mourn, but Almighty Allah knows best.
Wale was born on the 8th of June, 1955 in Ibadan to late Alhaji Amusa Ajao Agboluaje (a.k.a Baba Eko) and late Alhaja Nusirat Agbeke Madehin-Agboluaje (a.k.a Mama Odoiye).
He was educated at the Islamic Mission School, Odoiye Adeoyo, Ibadan (1961-1966), the Ibadan City Academy, Eleta, Ibadan (1968-1972), Farnborough College of Technology, Farnborough, England HND (1976-1980), and the University of Ibadan (Master’s in Management Psychology (2002/2003).
His work career took him through the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nasreddin Group Plc, Jos, Plateau State, IBWA-Afribank, and the United Bank for Africa (UBA Plc), from where he retired as Manager, Consumer Banking in 2006 at the Falomo Ikoyi, Lagos Branch.
We seize this opportunity to thank families and friends who honoured him and our families with their presence at the Agege Muslim Cemetery, the following day, 1st November 2024, and at the Fidau prayer and Celebration-Of-Life outing at the Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, on Friday, 8th November 2024.
We are especially grateful to the entire Agboluaje and Ejalonibu-Amodu Families, our in-laws (the Siwokus, the Sanni–Akinsanyas, the Sanusis, the Ashiru-Baloguns, classmates, and representatives of the Ibadan City Academy Old Students Association, Retired Major-General Tunde Braimoh and Alhaja Atinuke Braimoh, retired Brigadier-General Biodun Adewinmbi, Rev. & Mrs. Femi Lapite, Messrs Babs Lawal and Dapo Ojo, the Al-Taariq Muslim Sisters (represented by Alhaja Yinka Ayanwale and Alhaja Ajanaku), the officiating clerics, and others too numerous to mention.
Wale was survived by a wife, children, and grandchildren. May his soul rest in peace. Ameena.
