Dad, you have gone and I’m left alone
Gone just gone it’s quiet now too quiet
Your guidance and love I will miss every tone
Miss your voice miss you here
In memories I’ll see your face and miss the moments we shared together
Though you are gone my love remains
Forever in my heart a sweet sweet pain
Rest in peace my father
I’ll carry your memory wherever I go.

The news came with such disbelief. That Monday evening. That Olumuyiwa Temitope Asenuga has joined the Saints. I am still shocked. We are all still in shock. To know you and be close to you is a state of affairs that has consistently resonated within me and to the whole Members of the Family. You were a Man full of life, caring and there can be no dull moment with you. Right from our Childhood days, to our University Years, our lives after University, from Lagos to ljebu, to every other place we have been together and too numerous to count, we have done so many things together as Brothers’. We sat down together to discuss, gist, studied together, eating from the same pot, did so many things together that with passage of time, I am glad that they are all happy memories.

Your caring attitude was extended to everyone. The love that resides in your personal self was extended to everyone around you. That is who you are, Olumuyiwa Temitope Asenuga.

Ase Bobo, as I always fondly call you, you were a Man of many positive parts, your knowledge & spoken words. In our adult years, especially when we reflect back on the things we did together in our younger years, makes it much more difficult to comes to terms with your loss.

Olumuyiwa Temitope Asenuga,I cannot recall any moment that you showed annoyance with any state of affairs, even when obviously you were angry, it is always that smile at all times and this makes you a unique person.

Ase Bobo,your passing away will no doubt leave a vacuum that will be hard to fill, and I pray that God Almighty will grant you eternal rest and grant the whole Family the fortitude to bear the loss. We will all miss you Ase.

Requiescat in pace, my Brother & Cousin,Olumuyiwa Temitope Asenuga.

You believed in my future, in my successes and you did showed it. You were instrumental to my relocation: you stood by me, we had a whole lot of conversations on life, research, church development et cetera that led to so great advancement via the grace of God. I’m grateful for the gift of Morife and thank you for all you. I love you so eternally but God loves you most. Sigh!!! Jesus was your friend, you love talking about the Bible (God), which attracted me to your bible, wow; this is really hard for me!!!

Hmmmm,brother Muyiwa, i have cried,I ve had sleepless night since ur demise.
The reality keeps dawning on me every day that you won’t be here anymore. I remember those your prayers for everyone every time u come back from prayer mountains. U served God with all u had and you tried so hard to follow peace with all men as d Bible told us to do.
I do not mourn like unbelievers as 1st Thess 4,13-17 said,bcos I know one day i will see you again. Continue to rest in the bosom of d Lord who loves you more than we do.

Dear brother,

You left without warning. Gone so fast. Didn’t know the last time I saw you will be the last. I thought we had time.

Even though you’re gone, your memory will live on in our heart. We love you, but the Lord love you the most. Good by Brother!!!

I pay a tribute to a gentleman who isn’t just a brother-in-law but a man whose love in the end is passionate and also a prayerful brother. I will always remember you, brother Muyiwa . May your gentle soul rest in peace. Amen –

Muyiwa, my dear cousin, i still can not believe that you will be seen no more. I was in denial because I believed you would pull through the sickness and we would thereafter joke about it. I remember our years as growing children and the warmth that we all shared. That actually was something we inherited from our fathers who, though of different mothers, maintained their bond as sons of the same father, our grandfather, Benjamin Okunola Asenuga.

Your laughter lit up every room you were found, and I remember that principled as you were, i could use that “Muyiwa, i am older than you”, and you would smile and say “Dupe, thats true” as we both laughed. I am just four months and some days older but we both joked about it as if i was a zillion years older. Of course, when we were both in our undergraduate years at the then Ogun State University, everyone knew we were cousins because you would visit me at Ijebu Igbo though your campus was in Ago Iwoye. You usually came with three of your friends- Dele Solanke, Segun Odubela(both of blessed memories) and Femi Durojaye, your cousin from your mother’s family-who also became my friends in the process.

A couple of times when you came to Ibadan to buy your farm implement, you would call beforehand and tell me, “mo ma ya ni office e, amala de ni mo ma je”.And, I always looked forward to those visits. The last time I saw you was when we were in Aparaki to bury our Aunt Oluremi. We were together throughout talking about the family strings we shared. Oh, Muyiwa! You were more than family—you were a friend. Your kindness, strength, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew you. Though your time with us was far too short, your legacy lives on in the memories we cherish and the love you gave so freely. Life feels emptier without you, but we find comfort in knowing you are at peace. You will always be in our hearts, missed deeply, and remembered with endless love and gratitude. I hope you get to see our grandfather; my father, Sunday Olusola; of course, your parents and oh, don’t forget to say hello to Seyi Obinrin-Seyi Asenuga Adeosun, too. I miss you guys very sorely!

Adieu, Muyiwa.

Your cousin,

MODUPE ASENUGA OLUBANJO.

My beloved Uncle Muyiwa,

You weren’t just my uncle-you were my second father, my mentor, and my trusted guide through life’s complexities. Your presence in my life was a constant source of wisdom and warmth that I treasured deeply.
I remember how your face would light up whenever l achieved something,no matter how small.You celebrated my victories as if they were your own and supported me through my struggles with unwavering faith. Your gentle words of encouragement always came exactly when I needed them most.
