Your philosophy keeps me going about life, you jokingly say that there is nothing we can do without God's permission and assistance; that the Sexton is always assigned to ring the bell that it is not our duty to do that.
Adieu till the resurrection morning.

We are simply saddened with the loss of Daddy Olotu. He was a kind, loving and remarkable man who puts his family first and touched many lives. He will be greatly missed but we believe he is in a better place.
He was beloved but God loves him the most and it was an honour to have known him.
Continue to rest on in the bosom of the Lord sir.

Sending our sincere condolences to the Olotu's family on the passing of Daddy.
He was our Yoruba teacher when i was in feggicolla. We reconnected with them here in Canada after many years. Unknowingly, Daddy, Mommy and my Mom's path crossed at Egbe Akomolede in the 80s. Daddy is just as he was when I knew him as our teacher. Highly intelligent, patient and knowledgeable. He has an Impeccable understanding and speaking of Yoruba Language. He was interesting to see his views on every day matters.
Daddy was an excellent example of a devoted husband, daddy and grandfather. He was always with his wife taking walks, going for his appointments amongst others. He will truly be missed by all. We pray for peace all around for all family members. Daddy, continue to rest.
Nife on behalf of the Babalolas and Odetolas.

A wonderful teacher in his life time. He taught my late Husband Ayoade Olumide at Teacher 's Training college in Ikere Ekiti in the 70's and made a significant impact in our lives. He lived exemplary life of love. He was a good role Model, the first time my husband introduced him to me he was compassionate and always advised me to be a good mother. I am blessed to have opportunity to have known you Daddy Olotu as fondly called by my Husband. We the family of Ayoade 's will miss you dearly. Your demise will create an irreplaceable vacuum in the family.
On behalf of Late Olumide Ayoade 's family. I thank God for the life of Chief Bamidele Olotu and his positive impacts . May his soul rest peacefully in the blossom of Christ Jesus. Adieu!!!

We are proud to say that Grandpa Olotu was a father to us whenever he visited Edmonton, Canada. He and Grandma Olotu were among the few people that prayed and encouraged us when we started our pharmacy business. We miss you grandpa but we know that we will meet again on the resurrection day.
Your memory is blessed and your legacy lives on in your children and grandchildren.
Adieu!

Even in your death, I will miss your wisdom drawn from many years of experience,
I will also miss the pure love of an understanding heart. You were a man of integrity and discipline yet loving.
You were always such a caring and thoughtful Father to all. I can still remember when I came with my dad on one of our visits. How he was so passionate about bringing the indigenes of our hometown together, I could feel the pure concern in his voice even with his health challenges.
I can't begin to mention your role as a father, Grandfather, Mentor, and Confidant to my Family.
You fought the good fight of faith. You finished your course. Your legacy lives on. Adieu, papa.
An icon has transitioned into glory.

My father-in-law was a special person who made a significant impact on our lives, he lived a life of love and devotion towards his family and his faith, he loved education and inspired us to be our best. From the first time he met me, he loved and accepted me as his daughter. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with him. His grandchildren adore him, and all our friends love him. We miss him dearly. We take comfort in the fact that he is now in a better place, and we shall see him again on the resurrection morning. Daddy’s legacy continues to inspire and uplift us as we hold dear his memories. Good night Grandpa, a o pade ni ese Jesu, a o pade lojo ajinde.

Death is a necessary end for every mortal. Daddy you have played your own role on this planet earth. You were a wonderful husband, a loving father, a role model, a pathfinder, a unifier, a rare community leader, educationist per excellence. Your impact on my life can not be measured. Daddy continue to rest in the bosom of your creator. Adieu.

Although I never met Daddy personally, his first son, Bayo Olotu is my wonderful egbon of life and he spoke so much about you. And so I have no doubt daddy was an excellent father, an amazing husband, a great teacher who led by example and with love. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Lord daddy till we all meet again. We love you❤️

A wonderful teacher. He took his job seriously and was dedicated to his students. Ever calm, takes his time to explain until you understand. Eternal rest grant him oh Lord.

I had the opportunity to meet Daddy at a tender age and I can boldly say that all through the years, he's shown consistency in leadership, warmth, kindness, debt of knowledge and profound love for children.
Daddy fondly called BABA EWE by the Ekiti clan is a gentle man to the core. I had the rare privilege of attending a meeting in the village where we had Baba, my Dad alongside other elderly people with same vision delibrate on how to secure admission and sponsor over 20 youths in the polytechnic(Peak Club Iro-Ekiti). Daddy is a lover of education and a giver-extraordinaire.
I have seen this values reflect in his children and a few others who were close to him.
May Daddy's soul rest in perfect peace. His legacy will forever live on.

One of the Iro Patriots is gone. Daddy that nurtured me has gone to be with the Lord. Your contributions towards my growth and development remains indelible. Daddy's love , passion and joy in seeing people succeeding and making progress is worthy of imitation. Chief's kindness and respect for all and sundry is second to none.
We are thankful to God that Daddy lived a good, fulfilled , impactful and faithful life. Rest in peace Baba Alaanu.

Mr Olotu was a Gentleman, soft-spoken, and a Memorable Teacher.
There was a time every one was told to write down the name of their best teacher and of course it was him.
Oh my God, he took care of me as my Guardian at Federal Government Girls college Akure. He made sure He delivered all my scribbled note from school to my Parents at home.
He also gave me Yoruba novels and made me love yoruba as a language. I remembered when we were reading Alagba Jeremiah in JSS 2. , He took his time to ensure that the class was fun.
He still gave a gift to my child few months before he Left.
Thank you sir. Till we meet in Heaven.

To a great mentor, an example in discipline, self control and focus I find it extremely difficult to find words to convey my sense of anguish at the home call of our daddy, Chief Bamidele Olotu.There is no good in Goodbye when the subject of goodbye is a pillar of value that you can never do without. Chief rose from grass to grace . From support in education,Social service, religious commitment to family support Chief was not found wanting. All one can say is that Chief Bamidle Olotu lived a highly impactful and fulfilled life testified to by family members, acquaintances and friends.

My family and I had the pleasure of meeting and spending some time with Chief Olotu when he and his wife visited Edmonton. He was full of life, energy, and love. He didn't see us as his son's friends; he regarded us as his children and graciously shared the wealth of his experience with us. The dancing and the jokes still feel fresh. So is the fun time you spent with us. You truly lived up to your chieftancy title of Baba Ewe (the father of young children) and your profession as a teacher. May your offspring and the rest of us surviving you live worthy of your character and memory. Rest in peace, Baba Ewe!

Death is inevitable. I thank God that you lived a faithful and fulfilled life among your family, friends, community, work colleagues and place of worship.
You are a great manager of human and material resources because you are full of ideology and high wisdom.
You are an enviable father and leader as you always do when ever we are pushed to a corner with challenges in our many gatherings at the zonal and general level in the Estate (Federal Housing Estate - shagari village, Akure).
We will surely miss you Baba but we are consoled that your good work will continue to speak for your immediate family and we your adopted children of the community - ZONE 3 residents.
May your gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace.

Our family had the privilege of meeting Daddy in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and he left a lasting impression on us. His calm demeanor and ability to entertain those around him is a testament to the kind of person he was. He had a warm and welcoming presence that undoubtedly brought joy and comfort to those he met.
While we may not have had the pleasure of knowing him for a long time, we can only imagine the impact he had on those closest to him. As a father, he undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping the lives of his children, instilling values and imparting wisdom that will be carried forward for generations to come. His legacy will undoubtedly live on through the memories and experiences he shared with his loved ones.
As we honor his memory and celebrate his life, let us take comfort in the fact that he lived a full and meaningful life, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire and bring joy to those who knew him. May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find comfort and solace in the memories they shared together.
