You will forever be missed.
It’s hard to believe that you are not with us Rest on brother
May God be with all Lanre left behind. God will console and comfort everyone. God will give his soul eternity in Jesus’ name.
Will continue praying for the entire family for the fortitude to bear the loss.
My brother, I never knew your departing will be this early. But our loss here is heaven’s gain. It is well. I came all the way from Nigeria to represent the whole family all over. Oga o, just like that!
Hmmmmn, Mum missed you a lot. Everyone missed you too.
May God grant u eternal rest.
May the Lord comfort the entire family, It is well
To a friend and brother.
Your life is a testimony!
Though we sorrow, however we are quite hopeful of a re-union with you.
Rest on brother.
Your sojourn here on earth might be short but we thank God for a life well lived, full of many positive impacts. May your very kind soul rest in peace
My the wonderful life of my cousin though short be of comfort to you in Jesus name.
Lanre, what a short but fulfilled life spent to the glory of God and humanity. I remember our days at Unilorin, you were simple, highly intelligent and generous.
Maybe God uphold your wife, children,the family you left behind: Mummy especially and your siblings.
Good night Lanre.
Olanrewaju Oladapo Ajayi, it is unbelievable that you have left us so soon.
I pray that your soul rest with the Lord and God Almighty will comfort the family you left behind and your loved ones.
Till resurrection day when we shall meet. Good night
Adieu Olanrewaju Oladapo Ajayi!!!!!
It is hard to grasp that Lanre Ajayi is gone, no one to call me dotcom anymore.
His energy ideas, laughter- all feel like a vibrant melody suddenly cut short.
Lanre wasn’t just a friend but a brother and a force of nature; a whirlwind of creativity, innovation, and sheer zest for life.
I remember how Lanre can dissect a complex technical problem and explain it in terms t a caveman could understand.
He had a gift for making the impossible seem doable. Lanre never met a challenge he wouldn’t tackle head-on. He was always pushing boundaries, exploring new ideas, and leaving us all in awe of his boundless energy.
His laughter was infectious, his smile could light up a room, and his kindness knew no bounds. Lanre had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged, like they were part of something bigger.
Lanre may be gone, but his spirit lives on in every line of code he wrote, every problem he solved, every heart he touched. He was a light in this world, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but the memories will shine on forever.
His legacy is a testament to the power of a life lived with passion, purpose, and a relentless pursuit of dreams. Let’s honor his memory by carrying that torch forward, by living our lives as boldly and authentically as he did.
May God grant his soul eternal rest and grant both his immediate and extended family the fortitude to bear this loss.
Rest in peace my dearly beloved friend and brother Lanre Ajayi.
The news of your demise was shocking and heartbreaking. We are however comforted by the assurance of resurrection knowing that you loved and served the Master till the very end. Sleep on dear brother till the resurrection morning.
All is well. Brother Lanre, I never knew I would be writing this so early…hmmm.
Thank God for the life you lived; you were a good man. Rest in the bosom of your Maker.
I am praying for strength for the family, especially Mommy. May the Lord send comfort from Zion. We love you.
-On behalf of the Alabis.
May my angelic son soul rest in perfect peace
May his soul rest in peace and the Lord comfort the family left behind.
On behalf of the Institute of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife, Nigeria, we commiserate with Dr. Ibironke Idowu (the sister to Olanrewaju Oladapo Ajayi) and the family. May the Lord take care of you all at a time like this. It is well with you all.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. May the good Lord console the family and relatives he left behind in Jesus name
For us to live is for Christ and to die is gain, he came, he saw and he conquered and has left the pages for us to complete. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Olanrewaju Oladapo Akanji Ajayi, my angelic son,my Bible study partner, a worthy ambassador of Christ Jesus, a passionate winner, a true believer of the undiluted words of faith and an ardent Christian.
You came, you saw, you fought the good fight of faith, God conquered, you won.
You were the true definition of a spiritual tourist in the world of treasures, who chose to value the owner more than the treasure.
To the world, you were too spiritual, but as ordained, you were a true messenger who stood firmly on the unwavering word of faith to the end.
As for the book of remembrance, your sacrifice, your labor of love in God’s vineyard, your soul winning, your house you gave for zonal centre over a decade in Nigeria without looking back ,the widows you gave food to, the fatherless and motherless children you sponsor,without knowing where they came from.
Your unwavering spending to the things of God .
The people you led to christ.
All these will speak for you after you leave .
You came to the world as a candle light in the room .
You brighten the room for the people to see.
Now that you had left ,son, what will happen to those that you gave light to?
They will forever miss your constant light in the room,but God is our everlasting light.
You and your selfless sowings shall be your gains for Christ.
You were not perfect, but Christ was made perfect in you, and you shall reign supreme with him on resurrection morning. Your spiritualllty is sometimes taken for granted because it is an uncommon thing in the Christiantom.
Rest in the bossom of the Lord, my dear son, a true disciple of Christ.
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet on the resurrection day, where we shall meet to part no more at the order side .
A o pade leti odo.Nibi ti angelic ti te .
Ti o mo gara bi crystal Leba ite olorun.
chorus :A o pade leti odo ,odo didan odo didan ni .
Ti awon angeli ti te .
Nipa ife Olorun.
