EKUNDAYO MOGAJI.
The news of Pastor Isaac Ekundayo Mogaji’s departure to the great beyond came to us as a rude shock and none of your classmates who received the sad news could come to terms with your death, but who are we to query the Almighty God, the giver of life. The Lord that killeth, and maketh alive: 1 Samuel 2 (6).
Tolu’s death left an indelible mark in our mind because of his good character and positive contributions within the association and we say ‘O Death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory’ (1 Corinthians 15 (55) over our beloved Tolu? We can go on and on to express our pains and our grief over this, but can this bring back our colleague? No, not at all, but the assurance that we have is that he is resting in the bosom of the Lord and his good works on earth will speak for him in heaven. Good night, dear friend.
Tolu, was a committed ‘Alumnus of our great School, Oyemekun Grammar School Akure. He was the first and the only Chairman of our set (1974/79 set) till he departed this sinful world, a good leader to the core with enviable records, he led the Association to the 40th Anniversary of our set’s re-union at our great ‘Alma matter’ with a lot of achievements, a man with a big heart, who did not believe that there is a task that is not achievable with determination and the help of God. He was a generous giver and one of the first to contribute to all the programs of our set. Little wonder that he was a Pastor with ‘Christ Apostolic Church GB Headquarters, London. Tolu was one of the youngest and brightest members of our Association with an uncommon zeal for excellence, He was a Chartered Accountant and was admitted as Associate member, Institute of Chartered Accounts in 1991 and became a fellow of the Institute ten years after. He was a member of the ‘Red Cross society’ and also a school prefect in our set.
Tolu, if it were within our powers to halt death, we would have done so for you. Farewell, dear friend. May your pure soul rest in eternal peace.
