Sweet mum goes home
When I sat beside her hospital bed for an extended period on July 20, 2018, I knew the time had
come whenthe falconwill nolongerhear the falconer. I rubbed my hands over her face, traced her
tribal marks and said “I love you”. As it was to be, less than 24 hours later, Rodamade exited this
world for another and the next sight was her lifeless body in the mortuary.
An avatar that she was, there had beennodull momentsince herdeath. Early morning rain as soon
as her death was announced signalled divine ambience. Then hell became empty as all the devils
came down.The windsblew andthe stormsraged.But when the enemy rose like a flood, the Spirit
of the Lord raised a standard against him. By her death, the old dispensation has ended with its
historic possibilities and a new order must begin. In the words of Steve Jobs, founder of Apple
Computers, (1955-2011) “deathis verylikelythe singlebestinventionof life.Itislife’schange agent.
It clears out the old to make way for the new.”
Withthe volumeswritten andspokenabouther, youwonderif anythingneedsto be added. But the
princess from Iragberi was not an ordinary woman. Kingly, princely, bold, audacious, magisterial,
very intelligent and highly resilient; Moradeyo was not a person you can ignore, she simply had a
presence.Wisdomwashercostume, withawardrobe full of proverbs,deepandwittysayings,which
she deployed masterfully as fits the conversation.
Although birth began at birth, some spectacular experiences with her motherly love while I was
about8-10 yearsoldstrucka chord inme that litup a candle of mutual love that shone brighter and
brighter until her final exit. Her life was a lesson in outgrowing contradictions, triumphing over
adversity and overcoming obstacles. That though weeping may tenure a night; it cannot stop joy
when it comes in the morning. The end of her life was indeed better than her beginning and her
patience paid off.
One remarkable testimonyof God’sgrace in her life was that all through her 98 years + on earth, all
herorgans and faculties were still functional. She neverneededeyeglasses, hearing or walking aids;
had no degenerative diseases like blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes or cancer. Her verbal
facility was still versatile and her mental acuity was undiminished; never a memory snap or loss.
Cooperating with the grace of God in her life in this regard were four persons: Daddy Jonah and
Daddy Adewale, of whom she said never went to work any day until they confirmed she was well.
Nextwas her sister and bridesmaid since 1940s, Mama Ore, who supported her all through her life
time. The most illustrious was Dotun, my junior brother, who defied all currents to ensure her
wellbeing. To these four, garlands, trophies and accolades.
While she wason thisterrestrial plane,mylastwordstoher were “I love you”.Now inthe celestial, I
say “God lovesyou”. May the soul of my departed mumfind repose in the Lord, may her dreams be
fulfilled and her legacy established.
Rodamade adieu, sisi Olukayode o digbose o, Adunni omo Akinpelu, sun re o.

Sweet mum goes home

  • 1. Sweet mum goes home When I sat beside her hospital bed for an extended period on July 20, 2018, I knew the time had come whenthe falconwill nolongerhear the falconer. I rubbed my hands over her face, traced her tribal marks and said “I love you”. As it was to be, less than 24 hours later, Rodamade exited this world for another and the next sight was her lifeless body in the mortuary. An avatar that she was, there had beennodull momentsince herdeath. Early morning rain as soon as her death was announced signalled divine ambience. Then hell became empty as all the devils came down.The windsblew andthe stormsraged.But when the enemy rose like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raised a standard against him. By her death, the old dispensation has ended with its historic possibilities and a new order must begin. In the words of Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computers, (1955-2011) “deathis verylikelythe singlebestinventionof life.Itislife’schange agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.” Withthe volumeswritten andspokenabouther, youwonderif anythingneedsto be added. But the princess from Iragberi was not an ordinary woman. Kingly, princely, bold, audacious, magisterial, very intelligent and highly resilient; Moradeyo was not a person you can ignore, she simply had a presence.Wisdomwashercostume, withawardrobe full of proverbs,deepandwittysayings,which she deployed masterfully as fits the conversation. Although birth began at birth, some spectacular experiences with her motherly love while I was about8-10 yearsoldstrucka chord inme that litup a candle of mutual love that shone brighter and brighter until her final exit. Her life was a lesson in outgrowing contradictions, triumphing over adversity and overcoming obstacles. That though weeping may tenure a night; it cannot stop joy when it comes in the morning. The end of her life was indeed better than her beginning and her patience paid off. One remarkable testimonyof God’sgrace in her life was that all through her 98 years + on earth, all herorgans and faculties were still functional. She neverneededeyeglasses, hearing or walking aids; had no degenerative diseases like blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes or cancer. Her verbal facility was still versatile and her mental acuity was undiminished; never a memory snap or loss. Cooperating with the grace of God in her life in this regard were four persons: Daddy Jonah and Daddy Adewale, of whom she said never went to work any day until they confirmed she was well. Nextwas her sister and bridesmaid since 1940s, Mama Ore, who supported her all through her life time. The most illustrious was Dotun, my junior brother, who defied all currents to ensure her wellbeing. To these four, garlands, trophies and accolades. While she wason thisterrestrial plane,mylastwordstoher were “I love you”.Now inthe celestial, I say “God lovesyou”. May the soul of my departed mumfind repose in the Lord, may her dreams be fulfilled and her legacy established. Rodamade adieu, sisi Olukayode o digbose o, Adunni omo Akinpelu, sun re o.
