Papa Cornelius Otudeko was a happy, kind gentleman. He was always cheerful, kind and full of smiles. There’s never a dull moment when you are with him because he would tell you all about stories either about family, culture and even about UK 🇬🇧. Daddy Otudeko was blessed with a great retentive memory and a good historian.
He was a family man, generous and very accommodating. I remember when he loved eating corn 🌽 whenever it’s the season. Daddy Otudeko would go to the market just to buy corn and he would boil these and take them to work.
He was always current with politics of UK 🇬🇧 & the world at large, by reading daily newspapers & watching CNN.
May Daddy Cornelius’ gentle soul RIP & may God comfort his children, family and friends. Amen 🙏🙏🙁😎👏🏼🥲🥲

My condolences to Daddy Cornelius's family. As a little girl, I always heard my siblings and parents called Daddy Cornelius uncle but I never met him until 2010 when we all went for a family reunion in the US and as we see uncle as family, he was with us. He was such a pleasant father, grandfather and a great uncle to us.
He took care of my siblings while they relocated to the UK and our late father Pa Orebanwo entrusted his children to uncle’s care without a worry. His family took care of me in University as well.
Sleep peacefully sir. I pray comfort for the entire family.

I met Daddy when he came to church on one of his visits.
I remembered him saying how happy we always seem to be. 😍
He is at rest!

We give thanks to the Almighty God for the life of purpose and maximum impact of our dear departed father-in-law, Pa Cornelius Otudeko. We are particularly thrilled by his magnanimity in approving the transplanting of the special flower (DUNNI) in his garden to our nursery in Kogi State.
We pray the gentle soul of our cherished in-law find eternal rest in Abraham's bosom. Adieu.

Baba Otudeko was married to my senior sister, Oyin Otudeko. He was a man full of valour and fulfilled life. He’s blessed with great qualities and a very intelligent personality.
Baba Otus (as fondly called by us), was a good historian. 🌹 If you want to hear the family history from Otudeko family to Ososami family & even Ibefun - Ogun state history, he knew them all 🙋♂️
Papa was also very kind & generous to his children, extended family members and friends. He was always ready to accommodate people in his house but the person must be a good listener 😄💯 because Baba Otus would tell you all the stories from 100 yrs ago up till the present time 🕰️, which would motivate & encourage you as well 🎉😁🤓.
Baba was an inspiration to us all and very active till his death 🥲 . He would treck from his house to Peckham regularly . So, I was shocked to hear of his demise.
May Baba Otudeko’s kind soul, rest in perfect peace. May God comfort his daughters and the family he left behind. Amen 🙏🙏🥲😎🎉🙏

Your death definitely came as a shock to me. You touched many lives one of which is mine and my family's. You were always one to look out for people's good because you had a very large heart. You were very accommodating, warm and held the things of life with loose hands. We will miss you though we know you have gone to rest. May all loved ones you left behind be comforted and carry on the good legacies you left behind.
Adieu 'Daddy London', you will be missed.

Daddy!!!
I don't know why the news of your passing was so shocking to me 😢
I mean, you were 88 for crying out loud and that's a ripe old age anyways but even as I type this, it still feels.....oh, my!!! 😱
You were boisterously ebullient, loving, kind, responsive and relatable; you did not discriminate in relating to people, you treated everyone as human beings. You related with my big brother, Olusesan who you graciously allowed your beautiful 2nd daughter Oladunni to marry over 30years ago, like your biological son and for this alone, I'd be forever appreciative of your kind heart. ❤️
You were a very present father and grandfather, and every other role you played while here: very loyal, very rare! 🤗
Thank you Sir for letting us experience you with every moment we were opportuned to share together in your lifetime, the impact of the interactions sure made indelible marks on us. ✅💯
Journey well, Grandpa, you lived your very best and left a good legacy; now rest in the Bossom of your Maker, till the Resurrection Morning! ❤️

I don’t have much to say at the moment but to wish the entire family of Uncle Cornelius Otudeko the fortitude to bear the loss.
He went to join his ancestors last Friday, the day I referred to as a Good Friday during our prayer session in the church last Sunday.
I called him uncle but my customers called him my brother.
We used to meet at least three times a week, during Sunday morning service and two other days of the week.
My special condolence goes out to all the grandchildren and most importantly to our young doctor who first broke the news to her mother last Friday.
Adieu uncle and we shall repeat the same during the last send off ceremony.
xx Eunice and John Fagbohun
