Philip my brother passed on, on 10th July, 2010. Tobi was the first person I called he being a most wonderful close confidant and friend of no mean measure. Sadly, too, on 29th September, Tobi too left for Eternity. This was just twelve weeks after Jim Ajila took his exit from this sinful world. Losing three close –ones, all within this “squeeze of a lemon” period of time was a cancerous wound that cannot heal!

Eniola Olruntobi Adeniyi was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he struggled through life to get one for himself and used same to feed serval souls that came his way. Tobi was an astute academician, wonderful manager of humans and an embodiment of nobility despite his rather rough and difficult times he went through early in life. Tobi believed there was enough to go round for everyone, meaning he gave and gave to everyone that needed his assistance in any form. He was always a leader among equals in every group to which he belonged. Always warm and hated anyone being unhappy in any way.

I need to put on record his role in making sure that Alade, Atosin, Odode etc, as a conglomerate of towns, remain in peace with each other as MAKANRE i.e IDANRE throughout his life time.

Rest in peace Tobi.
