Egbon mi Olusoji Falana, Olori ebi.

Where do I start talking about you, you've been a wonderful Egbon to me in the family from childhood and very caring.

    There was not dull moment in your life, no matter how big the problem was within the family when it got to him, he will use your military wisdom to settle it.

     We were both in London in 1962, i was with my husband and when the government asked my husband to return to Nigeria, he started looking for an apartment for me. where my egbon heard about it, he said no my sister will move to my house until we get a better place for her.

      I moved In with him and his late beautiful wife Olufunmilayo, i was with them for about 4 months doing everything together, but my Egbon will not allow me to follow them to any party, because of his boy friends from Lagos. He would tell them mo ti fi aburo mi foko, if they came to his house.

    There was a naming ceremony of one of  his children in London he held a party for the naming and the  party was supposed to end at 7 p.m. but his friends refused to go. My egbon went in and brought a record

     Ware le re ore warele re, alajefeya oti se to jowo wa rele losun.

    In retirement, God helped him overcome many challenges. He came he saw and conquered, because he loved his God.

     He was an inspiration to me all his life. I praise God for the life he lived and that he died also in the arms in the loving arms of his children, I'll miss him dearly.

To GOD be the glory
