...On December 31, I could not call her but I intended to be in Ibadan for the New Year. I would later be called and told that she had died. I had been informed earlier that she was a little bit ill, and it was a brief illness.

Barely 24 hours after Orisabunmi’s demise, Steve Onisola, Orisabunmi’s elder brother, died at 71. Onisola was a basketball coach. He was the Technical Director of Kwara Falcons Basketball Club, Ilorin.

...She never left her siblings untended. We are pained because she stood in as a good mother for all of us.
“As the last child of the family, she took very good care of me. We were very close and used to each other. She gave her best to ensure that I was well catered for.

She was a selfless fellow. She was very humane and she persevered a lot. She would not underrate anyone.
