Tribute to ALHAJA

     
 

W


hen I was 28 years old as a youth, I had the opportunity to spend an evening with Alhaja Ayisat Ajoke in her life time at Egbeda, she was the kind of women you would want to be around and learn from.

She had been on more adventures. Loved more people, laughed at more things and fought more battles than you or I ever imagined. You probably know people who in their old age are not good old people. Because of their anger, bitterness and quilt, it is difficult to be around them. Not Alhaja Ajoke!

She was a good old woman, somebody who was sought out even in her old age. She told stories about the places she had seen and the things she had done.

She was a great leader and philanthropist who had a tremendous effect on her generation. With little energy she had then she continued to teach, “Little children and even adults to love one another”

There are many stories about Alhaja Ajoke Ayisat. In addition to what others said of her, listening to what others said to her memorable saying, listen to what she thought of herself in Yoruba language “Gbo temi mo ti e” (meaning: Listen to my words) Ti o ba se bi, to ngbadura, Adura e kole gba” (if you are doing evil, and praying, your prayer cannot be answer). What a privilege for me as a youth then to hear the wisdom of this good late old woman!

I hope you will take up the challenge too.

Special Tribute to ALHAJA - Dedicated To: Memorial Tributes To Loved Ones
 
   
 

Alhaja is the best mother we ever had. It's really good at expressing my feelings about our mother Alhaja. But all I want you to know about her is that I am proud of her of the much appreciated love. She render to people.

She's thought us from right to wrong in love and which I don't think we've told her often enough how grateful we are. “Alhaja without you we would have lost” that's why I am admiring you so much about your saying that 'simply beloved, let the love within our heart be the focus of our awareness throughout our life. Allow yourself to be accepting, forgiving, peaceful, joyful and in harmony with yourself and all life around you.

We ignore the love that is present every moment while embracing limitation. It is time to change that. It is time to release ourselves from our own self created bondage.

You and I have the opportunity to make a difference. Together we can embrace our unlimited self, the part of us that knows love and expresses it naturally and simply.

Alhaja at every family occasions, she will be there with love and she is the truest visitor in there always narrate it is when we accept ourselves just for who we are that choose love over fear, kindness, over hate and peace, over war and conflicts.
