A Tribute to Chief Ayo Ore

I find it difficult to put into words the depth of pain I feel at the passing of Daddy, as I always called him. His exit has left an unfillable void, and I owe so much gratitude to him for the profound impact he had on my life and career.

I vividly recall the year 2016, when I was preparing for my IT placement. It was then that my parent called to tell me they had been able to secure a placement for me with your help, Chief Ore. The opportunity, at your son Mr. Lanre Ore's company, filled me with excitement. However, I was uncertain about where I would stay since it was my first time in Lagos. Without hesitation, you opened up your home to me, offering me a place to stay throughout the six-month placement. That gesture marked the beginning of our special relationship, one in which I came to know you as a father figure

Daddy, you were kind, loving, and generous—a man who deeply loved God. You took care of me as if I were your own son, offering guidance and wisdom at every turn. Your encouraging words and motivation shaped my path as a young man and set me on a trajectory I may never have discovered on my own.

I can still remember the day my IT placement ended. As I was preparing to leave, you said to me, “Temi, you have been a good boy during your stay here, and remember, your room will always be waiting for you whenever you want to return.” Those words made me feel truly welcomed, and it was no surprise that after I graduated, I returned to stay with you, a stay that would last five cherished years—from 2017 to 2022. During that time, I experienced the fullness of your love and support.

Even when I decided in 2019 to leave Mr. Lanre’s organization, you accepted my decision with grace and kindness. You made it clear that my place in your home was never tied to my job, and this lifted my spirits. I was continually amazed by your selflessness, your genuine concern for my growth, and the unconditional love you showered on me.

You were deeply invested in my progress, always asking about my career and providing advice. When I decided to transition into cybersecurity, you were one of the first people I confided in. I still remember how overjoyed we both were when I secured a role as a Senior Security Engineer. We celebrated that success together, and your pride in my accomplishments was evident.

When I made the decision to relocate, you supported me once again—both prayerfully and financially—and gave me advice on how to navigate the new chapter of my life. During this time, I also introduced my beloved wife to you. You welcomed her with open arms and made her feel as much a part of the family as I did.

You were there for me through every season, good or challenging. Daddy, I’m saddened that I didn’t get the chance to tell you about my recent graduation with a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity and how I am now continuing my career in cybersecurity with one of the largest retail companies in the United Kingdom. None of this may have been possible if you hadn’t taken a chance on me, offering me not only a place to stay but a foundation of love and support that allowed me to grow into the person I am today.

Your kindness, your generosity, and your unwavering belief in me will forever be a part of who I am. Daddy, you will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will never forget the immense role you played in shaping my life. Thank you for everything.

Rest in peace, Daddy. You are dearly missed.

A Tribute to My Adopted Father

Today, I stand with a heavy heart, reflecting on the life of my adopted father, a man whose 84 years on this earth left an indelible mark on my life and the lives of everyone who knew him. Though words may never fully capture the depth of his kindness, strength, and love, I will try to honor the remarkable person he was.

From the moment he entered my life, my father embraced me not just as an obligation, but with an open heart, choosing to love me as his own. He wasn't just a father in title; he was my guide, my protector, and my greatest source of wisdom. His quiet strength provided me with a foundation I could always rely on, and his gentle, encouraging words lifted me during moments of doubt.

He lived his life with a generosity of spirit that was unmatched. He gave his time freely, not just to me, but to others, always eager to lend a hand, share advice, or simply listen. He had a way of making people feel seen and valued, no matter who they were or where they came from. Whether he was sharing his stories, offering guidance, or teaching life's little lessons, his wisdom came not from books, but from a life well-lived and deeply felt.

My father had a warmth that was contagious. His laughter could light up a room, and his smile had a way of reassuring you, even on your darkest days. To me, he was a beacon of hope, always reminding me that even in tough times, love, patience, and understanding could see you through.

In his final years, even as age wore down his body, his spirit never faltered. He continued to show strength, perseverance, and dignity, qualities he carried throughout his life. And even though we have said our goodbyes, his presence remains with me – in the lessons he taught, the memories we shared, and the love he so freely gave.

To the world, he may have been just one man, but to me, he was the world. Losing him is a grief that I will carry, but I am comforted in knowing that his legacy of love will continue through the lives he touched, mine most of all.

Dad, you showed me what it means to love unconditionally, to live with integrity, and to always strive to be the best version of myself. I am forever grateful for the life we shared, and I will carry your love with me always. Though you are no longer here in body, your spirit, your lessons, and your love will forever guide me.

Thank you for the joy i shared being your driver, cook, adopted last born and gist partner for many years.

Thank you for Komputer Konnections Limited 'KKL" where you taught me how to use the computer and also my first job at the cybercafe.

Rest peacefully, my dear father. Your journey on this earth may have ended, but your memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved you.

In your voice "Tunde Ghana" ( Last born).

TRIBUTE TO AN ICON
Chief Ore was a father, a mentor and a leader.
Since I got to know him, he was a product of courage. He supported the Association of Senior Citizens to the last. All events we enjoy now was watered by him. He supported financially and even with his presence anytime.
His home was opened to all. He shared his faith with others and put smiles on people's faces. He gave his last coin to make the needy happy.
Sir, I miss you and your gentle but frank advices.
I shall remain loyal as I promised.
Rest in the bossom of your Lord.
GOOD NIGHT, SIR.
Elder Mrs. C.A. Fagbemi
