Mr. Ajayi, during my time in Nigeria in the Oke Ibukun Oke-Ado Odutola area, I was truly blessed by your music ministry. You were truly one of a kind in your generation during those beautiful times. God gifted you with a talent that made your choir's anniversary and other music events worth anticipating. Even now, the memories of those times remain vivid in my heart.

Rest well until we meet again, along with all our loved ones who have passed on. We will reunite in a beautiful place in heaven, where we will join the angels in praising our Lord Jesus Christ.

May the soul of my beloved Oga continue to rest in perfect peace!!! Ase

Sad to knew of your demised Mr Ajayi, much to remember of you a great talent has gone continue resting in the Lord.

Everything stood still when Mummy Ajayi sent the message "Oga ti sun laaro yi". The whole family wept uncontrollably. Not because we have no hope but because we will SURELY miss him. A fearless warrior, your fights and criticisms were based on the Gospel and the ethics of your church (The Christ Apostolic Church). My Choirmaster for almost 30years, you added joy to people's lives through your great compositions. You led so many to Christ. I remembered you asking me after my wedding ceremony if I enjoyed the choir rendition.. specially composed for me and my spouse.. 'Lolade ,as you fondly call him. You said you had sleepless nights trying to put it together, because of the place you hold us in your heart.
Oga, like one of our Hymns (CACGHB 940) says,  A o s'okun yin titi...Jesu paa s'okun ri.
You told me what God showed you about my journey and when the fullness  of time came, it happened just as you saw it. Eleven years ago,you came to the hospital to visit me when I had my second baby, despite the fact that you just had an eye surgery and you should stay indoors, away from sunlight. During my time of challenges, we prayed and fasted together, you were never tired of other people's problems...you will take it up as yours.
I can keep going on and on.
We had thought we would continue our music ministry here and that would have been an extension of CAC Oke Ibukun, Oke Ado, but God saw it was more profitable for you to be called home at this time.
Good night Oga. We have this solace that we will surely meet again on the ressurection morning.
Sleep on my beloved Father, Mentor, Pastor, Prophet, CM and "Oga awon Oga" as fondly called by my Mom.
We will surely miss you.


Oga is a selfless man who love the Lord with every breath. He is my mentor in gospel high life music.
The memories of C.A.C Oke Ibukun oke ado yearly choir anniversary keep flashing back when I had that he as has passed on to glory. Oga’s composition is divine and unique. A no nonsense and disciplined man of God. Holiness is his watch word.  I remember when I produced his album many years ago, he keep interrupting the production telling me the exact harmony he preferred 😀. Some of his song sang by artiste has become global. He is a great composer, an arranger of High note and top song writer. He mentored many music directors, choirmasters, gospel musicians and Instrumentalist. Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord till we meet and part no more.

We will celebrate him as a SOLDIER of CHRIST he was, We shall sing Praises to His Maker who beckoned and took him, a great GENERAL of undiluted GOSPEL of ETERNITY anyway, he surely was aware when the agent of Death knocked and Oga knowingly and boldly asked "O ye Death where is thy Sting and Grave where is thy Victory?" which man prepares himself as if Death is tomorrow and who never got tired of condemning Worldly affluences but only inspired by Heavenly Glory........."OGA" the tears I shed is because: when you left for Choir rehearsals you passionately taught until very late in the Night, but, you would still come home: when you went for prayers on the mountain, your 3 days could be extended till 7 but you would still come back home: the same super-extra-energy you invested working for OTHERS was same when you started your own, travelling through the dark night to ensure food and stuffs are available for ALL😢😢😢👏👏👏 Altar monies you did not Share neither was becoming Area-Pastor in your Agenda, you were a genuine Gospeller and your standard I so much desire. Sad we won't have our long-long conversation...... 😪😪😪OGA, an infectious Composer and intelligent Arranger🎺🎻🎸🎼🎹🎙️🎶👏👏👏 God probably needs a Choirmaster up there and His call you cannot Ignored #Revelation 14 vs 13 "And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, write, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on' Yes, says the spirit, so that they may rest from their labours for their deeds follow them". Who are we to ask Him why? Afterall, He is an unquestionable God........
* Iye Iye Iye re o 3x
A gbe Jesu soke
Eni ba wo yio ye 2x
Enitoba wo Jesu ariye o, Iye re o... 🎙️🎙️🎙️
Not mourning you Sir🤔
