New Blog - Loyo UK Blogging

Dear brothers,

In keeping with modern times, the association has decided to set up a blog to be able to communicate more effectively with members.

First and foremost, this is the maiden edition, and I'm hoping that with time, we will get better at it, and be able to do more wonderful things, like post minutes of meetings, details of future meetings, events photos and videos, forth coming events, anniversary announcements, members achievements and celebrations, and general announcements. the list is endless.

As the year comes to an end, and with Loyo Day and a general elections to the executives committee looming ahead, members will be kept informed of latest developments. Members can leave comments on any topic(s) discussed.

I will therefore advise members to follow this blog, and register for updates. Please follow the instructions on this site.

Finally, I would like to seize this opportunity to thank all members for their loyal support and I hope you enjoy this maiden edition as much as we have enjoyed publishing it.

Up Loyo

RIP Obe

A service of songs was organised by Loyola College, Ibadan Old Boys Association for one of its members, Bro. Olufemi Ayoade (aka Obe) at Redeemed Christian Church of God, Croydon Tabernacle, 38 - 40 Parsons Mead, Croydon, Surrey CR0 3SL.

Obe died in the UK on the 21st of March 2011, and was buried in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria on Thursday 5th of May at St Peter's Cathedral, Aremo.

For those who knew him, Femi was generous to a fault. Despite his rich background, (we all know about the ABC chemist chain in Ibadan), he was humble, unassuming, honest, reliable and most importantly, ever so helpful. He had the lifestyle most dreamt of on a platter, yet he was unaware of it. If he was, it did not affect him. These are attributes that drew a lot of people towards him. 

Everyone would agree with me that his sense of humour was second to none. He was the kind of person that would make everyone laugh so hard that they’d end up crying.  

Femis’s death was sudden, but he had indeed lived his life wonderfully. He also served the association very dilligently... time, effort, energy and financially. He was a practising, highly qualified, experienced Pharmacist, who gave advice freely to anyone who wanted it. He was well-loved and he had done so many things on earth and I’m sure he’ll do much more in heaven. 

All the memories we have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered. Obe will forever live in our hearts.

Femi is in heaven now and this is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life. 
He will forever be missed but when the time's right, we will all meet Obe again and he’ll make us laugh in tears again.
