No words... RIP

With a heavy heart do I say RIP Malikidodo. Yu would be missed Greatly

Malik my Udss school son.. what do I say. I saw you a few months ago. If I knew it was going to be the last time I'll see you, I would have hugged you longer. I dont want to ask why, or how...God knows best. It was always a pleasure seeing you, always had that shy smile. I will definitely miss you but I thank God I met this beautiful person here on earth. May you rest in peace in the bosom of our dear Lord. Farewell Malik

Malik oh dear Malik..... You remain evergreen in our hearts
Extremely sad!..... Strength and comfort to your wife and everyone in your family.
Woooow......
Rest well.

"Malik!!!" That's how I called you the last time we saw at Abraham Adesanya Estate Shopping Complex & we 'hailed' ourselves as usual.

You were such a cheerful soul, a real jolly good fellow. To say I am shocked is an understatement. You're one of those I actually felt would live forever...& yes, you now live forever just not in this realm. My jaw literally dropped when I saw a facebook post that said "RIP Malik."

Even though we were not the closest of friends, you always had an interesting thing to say.

May the LORD comfort your Wife, Children & all those you have left behind. Rest in Peace, Malik...Rest in Peace. Words fail me. The LORD grant you eternal rest.

Hearts are broken - RIP

Damn!! Miss you Bro....R.I.P

Malik...You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I watched you bring light to the lives of the people around you. I still can't believe you are gone. Rest in peace, my brother.

The news of your loss has brought a deep sense of shock, sorrow and pain to me. It's like a dream. A bad dream that won't go away. Malik, your candle burned out too early. There are a lot of achievements left to be attained, many more memories left to be made, children left to be cared for, a wife left to be loved. Your demise is coming too early.
You were an extraordinary person. Friendly, lively and jovial. Indeed your demise has left a vacuum no one can ever fill. The world is missing a smile, the world is missing the echoes of your laughter, the world has lost a rare gem. Sleep on dear cousin, for you are not dead but only sleeping.

I still don't understand, I really don't. It's so unreal. So sad. Too sad. So much left behind, so much left 'undone.' So full of life, so full of smiles, so kind. If I feel this way, I can only imagine how your nuclear family, your parents and siblings feel. *sigh*. Our peace is in the confidence that we in Christ never die, we transit to eternal glory. We do not mourn like those who do not have hope. It's just painful that we won't get to see you physically anymore. By God's grace, we will continue to keep the faith, keep your family in love and see the light even in the midst of this darkness. Till we see again...we love you cuz!

Palipa as we call you in university. Our dearest neighbour and friend so full of life and always smiling. This is still a shock to Elohor and I but we cannot question God. I pray the Lord comforts your family this trying times and I pray you rest in the bosom of the Lord.

It is hard to believe that my dear Likiliki (as I fondly call him), is no longer with us! "My dancing partner", family gatherings will never be the same without you!!! You will forever be in my heart and in the hearts of your loved ones. The pain of your departure is so real, I have prayed everyday since your departure for God to ease the pain of this loss in our hearts. I will treasure the memories of the good times we shared, your good and respectful nature, your smile that touches my heart. The memories of the last time we were together have been playing in my mind; the gist, the jokes and the laughter flowed freely, oh what fun we all had on that Sunday afternoon in June of 2014 at IB's place when I came visiting. I love you my dearest nephew and I miss you so much that it hurts. Even though we didn't see or communicate as frequently, it was comforting to know that you were just a phone call away!!! But now, I will have to live with my new reality... You will forever live in my heart.❤️

Glad to know you made peace with the Lord, (still so painful though), to live is Christ to die is gain. Rest well my brother /Friend.

It's still like a dream to me. Malik you will really be missed. May almighty God protect n comfort your family. Rest on brother God knows best.

Still feels like a dream. Rest on gentle soul.

Life indeed is nothing but a brief candle..not sure where to start from as i am short of words.Malik was such a gentle soul, always beaming with huge smiles..There is no doubt that such a gentle soul will be sorely missed by so many people including myself..I am still shocked about his demise but i believe God knowa best..He had a great persona..i recall how he always laughe at even the slighest jokes shared with fellow classmates during our early years in secondary school (udss).I pray the good Lord grants his family the undying fortitude to bear this big loss...We miss you malik..all your friends miss you..I miss you bro..till we meet again bro..keep smiling in heaven

So sad Malik checked out of this world at just a young age full of life. My sincere condolences to Ibrahim, Zainab, Temisan, and the entire Lawal family. May God strengthens you all thru this hour of mourning. Malik is not alone, to be absent from the human body, is to be present with the LORD.

Still in shock abt the news of your death. You were always smiling malik. I remember our growing up days in benin. I pray for strength for your entire family esp ur mom, IB,zainab, seki...... I know you are resting wit the angels in heaven. Rest in Peace Malik

February 28th was the saddest day of my life,when I was informed of the loss of my beloved nephew,Malik. I howled and keened in pain,despair,and utter disbelief. 36 years is too young to die. Not when he had so much to live for. A young wife,3 sons,parents,and siblings. Death dealt this family a lethal blow. Malik was always smiling. He had a great sense of humor and was a fantastic raconteur. He inherited his hilarious story telling gift from his mother. She,famously,would crack you up with stories,backed with perfect mimicry. It was a gift. Even his messages to me were always laced with humor;always humor.
But I will remember,as well as miss him most,because he was my "dancing partner". I love dancing,and he was my PERENIAL DANCING PARTNER. Even when he was a single man,he would choose to dance with me rather than with a young glamorous babe.
We used to bogey and rock the S--- out of any complicated dance steps. In my old age,I was so busy trying to compete and measure up with him,that my knees have now cracked up and today,I can barely walk let alone dance. There was a time that he called to say "hi,aunty mi",& I complained that "ah,Malik,you don destroy this my arthritic knees,oh".
He was a loving father,a FANTASTIC HUSBAND,& a great provider for his family. His passing is a loss that will be almost to great to be borne by his family.
The best gift from all of us who loved him ,is to stand by his wife and sons. Let us always remember them and give periodic assistance,in cash or kind. Let us look out for their well being,all the time. I believe that,even from beyond,Malik will be watching and smiling his infectious and charming smile in appreciation for remembering,and assisting his family. He will forever live in our memories through his sons.
Malik,farewell. May your soul rest in perfect peace. We love you so so much,but God loves you more. Who are we to question his ways.
I SHALL MISS YOU,BECAUSE YOU WERE SO DEARLY LOVED BY ME.

Malik my man. Thanks for reminding us that good deeds, cheers and smiles are all life is about. The man who never fought a single fight, had friends across all divides, our Christian Muslim, great sweet and kind soul. I personally will miss you forever. You were a good friend. Life happened and we didn't get in touch often but now you're gone there's a void left. Rest in Peace Boss. We'll always remember you.

Rest on, Malik.... God's mercies will cover your wife, kids, family and friends...

Shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Malik's passing, I realize how transient life is!

We pray God almighty gives his wife and family the strength to bear the loss. Though I did not manage seeing Malik for such a long time (I reckon 98), there was always that feeling that sooner or later I would see all my living old secondary school buddies including Malik. Now that expectation has been cut off by one and forever so - how sad.

What can I say? God knows best but I do mourn your passing. I just feel we are too young for this but then again - God knows best.

So long bro.

Malik. My brother. My friend. A good man. I still can't believe you are gone bro. I have never been shocked by someones death before till now. It still feels so unreal. You mean I won't see you again in this physical world? Well, I will console myself with the fact that thou you lived for only 36years, you lived a full life, you were full of life. You will leave on in our hearts, minds and words. You were truly a good friend and brother. We love you.

Boss,as i fondly call you...spoke with you last In January.(still in shock)just so hard to believe i would never see you again.This is indeed a big loss.May God protect your family you left behind.Rest on boss...Till we meet to part no more

Malikiliki like I always call u I still have not been able to come to terms dat I wont see you no more,the news of your death struck me like a tsunami even as I write this am still hoping this is just a bad dream that I need to wake up from. You were so full of life you brought fun to everywhere you went, it could never be a dull moment with you around you had a large heart and loved family I keep asking why death would have to take such a young and vibrant man with so much ahead of him but who am I to question God he knows best I guess you were just too good that He(God) needed you by His side, you will forever be missed Malik there can never be a replacement for you not in this life. I will always cherish the good old days we spent together they are memories dat will linger in my heart forever. Sleep well my brother my friend

Death is inevitable and we all have to take part in it someday. We all miss you . Rest In Peace Bro #
