Beatrice Oyinkansola Olayemi

Tribute Mrs Olayemi
The last time I saw you was just as you were getting ready to leave for the US! After that we spoke and then you were gone! Just like that!!!!!!!!

I called her Mummy, she was not my mum yet she treated me no less. Oo ba aburo e soro! Ki la ma se si oro yi?
Today I celebrate the life of a remarkable woman, a mother whose strength was evident in all she did. She was fun, witty, and wonderfully straightforward, never one to hide the truth or shy away from saying things as they were. Her honesty came from a place of love, and her laughter could
light up any room.

Mummy lived with courage, faced life head-on, and left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Me for sure!!

Look at her children you can easily tell that she was a mother, she gave her best guiding, protecting, and shaping lives with firmness and deep care.

Though she gone to rest, she will be missed, her spirit lives on in the memories, values, and stories she leaves behind. I am grateful for the joy she shared, the lessons she taught, and the strength she passed on. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Good night Mummy

Mummy Akoka, as we fondly grew up calling you, a name that seemed common among the Olayemis. She was a woman of great respect, significance, and unwavering support. She held a special place in our family and in our hearts.

As a little boy, I remember my mom often warning me that she could take me to Mummy Akoka’s house for disciplinary actions whenever I was being defiant. This used to make me wonder if she was truly someone to be afraid of. However, my first encounter with “Sister,” or Mummy Akoka as she was usually called, quickly erased those fears. Instead of intimidation, I was met with consolation and relief. She was warm, loving, and deeply motherly toward me. While there was firmness in her words, especially whenever she asked about my schooling, it was always rooted in care and genuine concern.

Her support for my mom during one of the most difficult periods of our lives, after the loss of my dad, was truly remarkable and will never be forgotten. It spoke volumes about her character and the depth of her compassion.

My last conversation with her was nothing short of amiable. She encouraged me to take good care of my mom and expressed her desire to see her again soon. That conversation remains dear to my heart.

Mummy Akoka was truly a wonderful woman with a golden heart. She will be deeply missed, not only by me, but collectively by the entire Olayemi family. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
