He wrote: “It’s a final Goodbye Couz. The saddest part is my not being in the country to witness your final journey back home.

"Your de@th is just another painful reminder that tomorrow is never promised.

"Each day we live is deducted from the days we would live on earth, each birthday we celebrate takes us closer to our final birthday. May we live long, amen.

“Sun re o Omo Oba EniObanke Ademola, bami ki baba mi Awofe Ademola, ki Uncle Adetokunbo Ademola… o digba o! O di gbere!”
