SAD SAD FEW DAYS FOR THE ONYEADOR'S, BAYERO'S, THE ALAO'S & NOW THE MUDASHIRU'S

 

the LATE MRS FOLUKE MUDASHIRU

Sad news of the passing away of the wives of some prominent members of the society has hit many like a shock wave. Between Thursday last week and now, we have heard of 3 of such deaths. His Royal Majesty, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero lost his wife, Hajia Rabi Ado-Bayero to the cold hands of death. Hajia Rabi passed on at the age of 67 on Thursday night May 24, 2013 and was buried according to Islamic rites on Friday, May 25, 2013. She was survived by her husband, the Emir, many children & grand-children. May her departed soul rest in peace. 

The other sad occurrence was the passing away of the wife of the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji Arisekola Alao, in the person of Alhaja Risikat Arisekola-Alao, who also died on Thursday, May 24, 2013 at the age of 68. Alhaja Risikat was said to have died after a brief illness. But particular cause of death was not revealed. She has since been buried according to Islamic rites since Friday, May 25, 2013.  At her burial were some prominent Nigerian friends of the Islamic leader & business merchant, the likes of Elder Wole Oyelese, Mr. Obafoluke Otudeko, Alhaji Lamidi Ajadi, Prof. Taoheed Ladoja & many others. 

Another sad loss was that of Ebele Onyeador, the now late younger sibling of the elegant art aficionado of blessed memory, Angela Onyeador. Angela herself died only a year ago, while her elder sister Stella had died about 3 years ago. Ebele the last of the trio before her sudden death, was the only surviving child of late Sir & Mrs Alex Onyeador.

The most recent to have gone to the great beyond, as recent as a few hours ago is the wife of the late former Governor of Lagos State, Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru's wife. Mrs Foluke Mudashiru, age 67 passed on in far away Atlanta, Georgia after battling with an undisclosed ailment for a while. She finally gave up the ghost today, Monday, May 27, 2013. Exactly a decade after her husband's demise. 

We commiserate with the deceased family members. May the souls of all the dearly departed rest in peace.
