We absolutely love mama B! She bathec our son Samuel after we returned to the UK in 2007. She made blankets for both my kids. My 6 years old Daugther absolutely loves her. We remember she came to our house to spend time with my parents her friends and spent almost a week with us and it was so sweet seeing these 3 elderly people just enjoying their company. I treated her and my mom with a home spa service! She was so happy! My entire family will so miss her!

Mama Bola was always a kind, gentle, loving soul, and a source of inspiration, wisdom, and joy to those of us who had the privilege of knowing her. While she is no longer here with us in flesh, we would forever remember, appreciate, and celebrate her life. Amen!

Many found and blessed memories, but most unique was Christmas lunch “date” at the Mayfair Hotel, London, back in the late ‘nineties.

Mama Aluko was a rare gem.
From the first time I met Mama Aluko at Finsbury Park for a Modakeke meeting, she was accommodating and genuine in approach.
Over the years, especially when I had my two daughters, Mama Aluko would occasionally call 'mo ni ki n ki e ni o' (I call to say hello). Those calls were incredibly soothing for me and often came at the correct times, as if she knew exactly what I needed. These motherly 'checking ins' were the foundation of my relationship with Mama Aluko—she gave her time to call me when all she knew about me was that we were from the same town.
I am eternally grateful to have known Mama Aluko. The stories she shared so that I could learn life lessons, her trust in me, and her genuine kindness were worth emulating. And she was eloquent and gorgeous!
Ó dìgbà mín ìn (Until next time).
(Mama Aluko's last words to me, as if she knew that was the last time I would see her alive).

Mamma Bola, what can I say about you and how much I'm going to miss you.
I was a stranger when I moved into Woodmans Mews in 2015. You were the first person I met, you made me feel very welcome.
We got to know each other well very quickly, you looked after me when I had my health problems, showing me lot's of love. You checked on me if you hadn't seen me for something, and like wise I did the same for you.
You always had a smile on your face even when you were not feeling well.
I will miss having you living nextdoor to me very much, I hope I will have as much grace to carry on as you did.
Heavens gain is our loss, I will love and miss you always.
Sleep well Mumma Bola
Love Florence

As one of the many children of the woman I call MOM (Mother of Many) and Mummy, you will certainly be missed. My sincere condolences to the whole family. I have eaten so many times at your house, had bible study and worship sessions with you on numerous occasions. We’ve had a lot of heart to hearts, and I will always cherish the words of wisdom served via scriptures and poignant proverbs in Yoruba and subsequent translation into English because of the confused look on my face due to the depth of the vocabulary. You never hesitated to correct and rebuke in love, which always reassured me. Thank you for the laughter, I cannot remember a time I came to visit where we did not laugh. I called you mummy, but you were also a friend. You shared with me once about how your mum always said “Assumption always makes an Ass out of you” I got the point straight away. You have shared CD’s and books with me about prayer which has come to be such an important part of my life. You demonstrated to me such faith in the face of difficulties and adversity. Your heart of compassion, love for the Kingdom and the gospel so tangible. You live on in our hearts, your legacy will forever be with us. Your prayers are still working and will have ripple effects. Thank you for having my family and I on your long prayer list. Finally thank you for the gift of Bosede, a woman of God who continues to lead God’s people into His presence. Rest well mummy until we meet again in glory. Your Son, Christopher Bunmi O.

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED IN-LAW MRS. BOLAJI ALUKO
This tribute will be inadequate because I can’t describe how loving you truly were.
You were soft in outlook and at heart but still a disciplinarian. Everyone was able to be comfortable around you. You were kind and generous. You truly believed and had faith in God for everything.
Efforts were made by your loved ones who prayed that you would stay longer even as they saw you fade away. But God saw you struggling and no longer your ebullient self and He took you away. God knows what is best for you and we give Him glory for His steadfastness with you during your life journey. We are consoled with the fact that you are now with Him.
You were the biggest cheerleader to your daughter Bose (our wife). Always reminding me how fortunate we are to have her hand in marriage.
I will never forget the first day I met you. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I was nervous even though I wasn’t the suitor. The genuine love and warmth was so powerful and in a way very encouraging to me. Your greetings were in a flawless Igbo language that I was confused of your tribe. I took a liking to you immediately. One of my favourite memories of you was in 2021, when you, Bose and Chinedum visited us in Lagos Nigeria. Even though you were beginning to feel frail, it was an exciting period and an incredible opportunity to bond together.
I am convinced that you lived an exciting life. Your call to glory is inevitable and we the living will miss your soft spoken counsel.
Rest in peace Ogom Nwayi (my In-law) in the bosom of the Lord until we meet to part no more!
Daniel Igbokwe on behalf of the Igbokwe Family.

Posted on behalf of Alhaji Ibrahim Aluko - First Son of Mama Bola
Mama Bola is a very special person. She was an intelligent, generous, sensitive to people's needs and she is always seeing other people's problems as hers. She is happy when she sees that people around her are happy and prosperous She always prays for her children biological and adopted and even loved them all equally
She is a lover of peace and at the same time a disciplinarian, no push over. She always says "be good to everyone even if they've wronged you". She is always keeping the family together.
Mama Ibrahim, your grand children are gonna miss you.I take solace in the knowledge that you loved me and did your absolute to make me a better person that I have become. You loved Usman, Taju, Bose and I so much, we know how much you sacrificed for us.
The vacuum created in everybody by your passing is incredible. When the time came for you to finally reap what you sowed and focus on yourself you did your exit.
I will miss you dearly, and so will Ilorin, Modakeke, Oshogbo, your friends, and the rest of the family.
Your Son, Ibrahim

Tribute to Mummy Mrs Aluko
Mummy Mrs Aluko, a giant of a woman, mother, a formidable Christian soldier. She was a mother to us in the 1980s. for we young boys/men fresh at church “Victory Christian Centre” (Hampstead Bible School of Faith London NW3). She got our ears and minds, making sure we know how to go about things in the UK because everything was foreign to us all and not to allow despondences to come to our lives.
Mummy, thank you. “Didun ni iranti olododo”. Proverbs 10:7
Mama wa sun re o!
Sylvester Ajagbe
Dear Mummy,
Thank you, for being so loving and caring to us and our family. You were a ray of sunshine anytime we meet you. You have been a great blessing to us all and your memory lives on in our hearts. I remember times we’ve had conversations with you, so much wisdom and endless laughter. Till we meet again in our Heavenly Father’s presence. Shalom! Amen.
