Deaconess E.A Akinboro JP (Nee Kolade)

When we love people who have been part of our lives since childhood, somehow it’s like they will be around us forever. Her departure came as a shock. As a little girl I remember her coming to the house to visit her mother(our grandmother) and my father(her elder brother)with gifts for us kids. I remember when she took me to see a man in red robe with white beard who gave me gifts and I later discovered he was called Father Christmas. She was almost as tall as my dad and would stand tall to look at him eyeball to eyeball no matter what. The entire Kolade family will miss a worthy daughter noted for her love as well as not failing to instill when necessary. I found it hard to be she is no more therefore I could not bring myself to write anything before now.. To daddy Akinboro, my cousins and my family, the Kolades let us bear in mind that she served God and humanity. Even though this is our loss, it is heaven’s gain, let us take solace in this. May her soul find eternal rest with the lord amen.

Mummy Akinboro, we love you but God Almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth, and Maker of all things LOVE you more. Mummy we will miss you so much. May the Host of Angels open the Gate of Heaven and take you in. Mummy sleep well in the Blossom of the Almighty God and may your Gentle Soul Rest In Peace.

Mama Yęmisi wa owon ti lo ba Oluwa. We thank God for a life well spent. We lived together in d same house at Ebute Męta over 50yrs ago. Then as a small girl, I remember vividly her firmness as a mother. As a caring neighbour especially when our parents were not at home. As a woman of great sense of humour. There can never be a dull moment with her. My prayers are for daddy and d children that God gives them d heart to bear this irreparable loss. Didun sa ni iranti olododo, she will be remembered for her good attributes. May her soul rest in perfect peace iJmn. Amen.

We lost a rare gem. Mummy was a nice woman, a one woman mopol. A no nonsense wowan. People thought she was difficult but those who understood her enjoyed her greatly. She will be missed a lot. May her soul rest in peace. I pray the Lord give daddy and the entire family the fortitude to bear this great loss. Ola pls take heart.

I have always known her to be tall, bold and beautiful, walking elegantly down the streets whenever she came to Ebute to see my dad. She always reminds me of my dad even in her speech. Heaven has gain you ma and we know we shall meet at the feet of Jesus at the end of time. Sleep well our big mummy.

Mama looked exactly like my mum. She reminded me of my mum whenever I was with her. Her Son Ola is my friend but she treated me like her son too. Caring woman with the heart of Gold. She will be sorely missed. Adieu...Rest in Peace.

A good mother left this sinful world. On behalf of the Orelaja family we pray mummy sleep peaceful in the Lord. You are a wonderful mother, you say it the way it is, you have a caring spirit, you served the Lord, you bore beautiful children and lived a very good life. Our greatest condolences to the children and dad you left behind. RIP Deaconess E. A. Akinboro Jp

Mummy, we’re going to miss you greatly. You’ were a selfless mother who put the welfare of her children, including other children(including me) first. You will forever be remembered. Thank you for showing us good example of motherhood. Condolences to the family
