Why?

Apart from the many distant memories from FEGO, two images come immediately to my shocked and benumbed mind. You throwing jibes at our small group of ex-fego medics at the OAU amphitheatre with your trademark playfulness and then five years later, running into you at the OAU sports centre - then you'd graduated, leaving us to the never ending toil of medical school and had been visiting campus. I thought you were less of the playful brat then and acted more the part of a mature working dude and we'd exchanged greetings in a most heartfelt manner. That was almost 15 years ago, and sadly that was to be our last meeting.

I can't express my anguish as i type this...just when I was beginning to sigh and thank God for sparing family and friends from the ill fated crash....

RIP Roju.... I'm sure you will continue to live in the minds of all of us who have known you and your legacy will endure in the lives of your loved ones and all you've touched and inspired in so short a time. 


 

It took me 5 weeks to summon the courage to visit this website. Ever since you left I've been in deep sorrow. Don't think I've ever cried this much in my lifetime. I see you frequently in my dreams. Going through these pages and writing these lines is so tough for me. I shed tears as I stroke the keys away. I seek for answers but still no answer. Why you? Why June 3? Why that flight?
I remember the day you told me about your intention for my sister. It took me by surprise and mixed feelings, but you told me not to worry cos my sister was in safe hands. I believed in you, and you did not disappoint me. You showed love more than I could ever imagine. The happiness you brought into Temitope's life was immeasurable. It was visible when you came to visit me in Atlanta in 2010. As tough as you are, when it comes to Tope, you melt. You melt like a candle wax. Also you were a mentor to my brother. He looked up to you cos you had a lot in common, and one of the few that understands him. Even though he's hurting deeply, he's staying strong for your wife and the boys.
Just 3 months ago, I was in Nigeria. You came to get me in a chattered cab cos your car was in the shop. I remember the excitement in your face when you saw me. It was like you just found your long lost brother. You took 2 weeks of vacation from work just to spend time with me. We cruised the streets of Lagos like there was no tomorrow. Everyday was like my birthday. How about the trip to IB, Oyo, Ogbomosho, Osogbo jamming 2pac all the way? I had one of the best times of my life.
On March 11 prior to my departure from Nigeria, we sat for hours at the MMA lounge discussing your plans, especially for Tope and the boys. I almost missed my flight, and I remember you getting me through the first class line so I wouldn't miss my flight. You promised to see me later in the year when you come to the States. You gave me a big hug and said "Later hommie". Little did I know that was our last moment together.
Roj Man, my heart still grief. Wish it was all a dream. I'm still trying to come to terms with your loss. This wound is slow to heal. In my heart here is where I'll keep you. Till we meet again. Adieu Aderoju!

"rudeboystyle"that was what was on your door in quarters road 13. remember the night u initiate me to smoke and how we became closer from then on.use to ride in your red volvo to cause mischief. though we lost contact after school i still had fond memories of you and was suprised that you got married to tope. was going through the papers when i saw ur name among the crash victim, i shed a little tear and lit a smoke cos that was what u would have wanted.life goes on.

Prince Aderoju,
Word fails me to describe your sudden passage unto the great beyond. But God's Word will continue to comfort your wife, Tope and your children. 
Adieu. 

THANK GOD FOR A FULLFILDE LIFE, FOR ITS NOT HOW LONG BUT HOW WELL SPENT.DEROJU MAY YOUR GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE. WE LOVE U BUT THE GIVER AND TAKER  LIFE LOVES U MOST.SUN RE OOOOOOOOO.

Aderoju, Addey's brother, sleep on in the bossom of the Lord.  God grant the Osunbade family the strength and the grace to remember you with joy always.

Rojeje,

Im honestly still finding it sooo hard to belive that you are gone forever.....The last time i saw you keeps replaying in my head.when you picked me and my girls from our place to yours to spend the evening with you guys  two saturdays before the accident....i remember how we jisted and laughed in the car  as we drove to your place...i never knew that was the last time i was going to see you........you were such a kind-hearted person, very energetic and fun to hang out with.. you showed Topsy and the boys soooo much love that i find it so hard to imagine how Tope is going to live her life without that love and care you have shown her for soooooo many years of her life but we can only trust God to be her pillar and comforter. It is well with Tope and your boys.......RIP Aderoju....you would be greatly missed....

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment
