It is one burial many won't forget in a hurry. It took place
in Ile-Ife.
On Friday, 14th January 2022 the sleepy town of Ayepe, Moro
in Ile-Ife, Osun State came alive, as the town received many dignitaries from
far and near, for the final Burial of a virtuous
mother, Mama Comfort Mojirola Abegbe Ademuyima who died at the age of
107.
One of her children, Dr.Sam Ademuyiwa is a US-based
doctor. So it was not surprising that many US-based Naija doctors flew into
Nigeria to support one of their own. They were in Ile Ife for 2 days.
Apart from the doctors and many professionals who came, many
other distinguished guests also came.
It was not a surprise to see how very many people trooped out
for this burial. Why? Because Mama Comfort
Abegbe Ademuyiwa was a great woman in her lifetime, who in one
way or the other had touched many lives.
A lot of great things were said about this woman at the Wake
keep held at her residence in Ayepe. Many of the family members
revealed how she brought them up and took great care of them.
One of his America-based sons, Dr. Sam Ademuyiwa also described their mother as a virtuous
woman and a disciplinarian. "We thank God for the virtuous life of Mama,
while she was alive. She would be sorely missed for her many works of kindness
and philanthropy during her lifetime. Being a courageous and patriotic person,
Mama
always dedicated herself to the service of assisting those in need. A life
worthy of emulation. Above all, she was true, religious, and a prayer warrior.
I pray that the almighty in his infinite mercies and wisdom grant her gentle
soul peaceful repose in Jesus Mighty name. Goodbye to our iconic and virtuous
Mama, grandma and great-grandmother."
It was a 2-day event. Lying in state was held on Thursday 13th
January 2022 at Aiyepe, Moro, Ife North in Ile Ife.
Church and Buriaļ service took place on 14th January 2022, at St.
Judes Anglican Church, Aiyepe, Moro, Ife North.
Reception & Party for Mama Comfort
Ademuyiwa took place at Iyeru Ideal Hall,
Parakin, GRA, Ile-Ife.
Many of Dr. Sam's friends from abroad came to support him. We cannot
forget the input of all the members of the Prestigious Club of New
York as they dazzled and stood solidly behind their friend and club
member.
It was indeed a day of
merriment with enough and all kinds of foods and assorted drinks.
All the children and the family members really made statements
with their guests. Fuji Star, Ramon Akanni thrilled guests with
his melodious Fuji music.
