I am grateful for all the guidance you bestowed upon me during the time we spent together. Your constant display of love and kindness will forever be cherished. Your assistance and profound influence on those around you did not go unnoticed. I am confident that God has greater plans in store for you, your family, and your loved ones. May you rest in peace, in Jesus' name.

Wow! Still battling to come to terms that you're done with your assignment on this side of the divide. It took me this long to pen my own tribute about you. An amazing person you were! I watched the funeral service today and it was awfully painful that you've left us so soon. The fact that we share first name made the memories to start flooding in again. Among several of your good deeds to me was this outstanding one when you came to pick me from the corpers lodge in Nov 1989 at end of my service year to be accommodated till I could find my place in that city of Port Harcourt as inconvenient as it was for you to do that then. Nobody meets you and forget you easily. Full of humour any day any time. Like someone said today, your signature laughter remains indelible. Even though I have not seen you in the last 24yrs, the memory is still fresh. You're good! The consolation is that you left a legacy of how to live well and it will continue to be a guide for many. Adieu TOYIN my name sake.

My Big Brother (Broda Me as I usually call you), it is with heavy heart I write this tribute as it is too difficult to believe you are gone. The last time I saw you, we sat down talking about world politics and issues in UK where I reside but never knew that was the last time I would see you. If I knew that was the case I would have given you a big hug which I had never done before and say to you "Thank you". I want to say thank you for all you did for me, the lessons you thought me which I never understood back then but now I do and will teach that to my kids - integrity, discipline and simplicity. You are and were truly a gentleman and very simple, I don't believe I met anyone as simple and gentle as you were. My only regret is not speaking to you more but I will hold on to the memories I have of you. The way you lived your life is an example to emulate and copy, it hurt to lose you so early and only God almighty can heal the pain of your departure. This is not a goodbye but a goodnight. I love you my big brother but God loves you even more.

Dear family of Toyin, I know Toyin as colleague in the OML 130 partnership and, apart from many virtual meetings, I had the pleasure to meet him a couple of times in person in the last year on my visits to Lagos, Nigeria. From the first visit I was impressed with his personality of being smart, friendly, highly professional and caring for the greater good of the partnership and society at large. Toyin was always looking further than direct interest for SAPETRO or himself and you could count on him to drive this. He will be missed. My sympathies to you, dear family, for carrying this big loss and may you be able to find peace in the great memories of Toyin. Kind regards, Luc van Son, COO Prime Oil & Gas Cooperatief U.A. in The Netherlands

No grief is greater than the departure of such a kind man as him. He is a great Legend, May he rest in peace. Accept my condolences ma'am

Certain things happened that we lack adequate words to convey and express them. This is one of such things. It's hard to talk about you in past tense but that is our reality at the moment. Our solace however is that we know where you have gone to be the Lord, the love of your life and the Lord of all. Rest well in His bosom. May God, the great comforter comfort all that you have left behind - Your immediate family, Lekki light house, CCIC world wide and the Body of Christ

Shocking news. May his soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Godfather, Even in death you are still loved and forever will be. You have touched the hearts of so many who owe you a lifetime of gratitude. We are not saying goodbye forever but goodbye for now. I pray you find peace and rest wherever you are. Dear Godmother please stay strong , we love you and will always stand by you. Love and lights 🕊️

It was a sad day when we heard the news of Mr Adenuga’s passing. I struggle to accept that he was apparently battling illness while joining meetings at odd hours in the time zone he was at. I should have suspected all was not well when we didn’t answer calls, texts or join a meeting in the last week before he passed on. We will miss Mr Adenuga for the way he would always calmly but firmly make his points in meetings. We will miss his wisdom and counsel in the Partnership. We pray for strength for his family and all he left behind, that they might find comfort even in the midst of sorrow.

Wow! wow!! wow!!! is this for real or am I still dreaming? This is very painful, a best friend gone too soon but can never be forgotten. You've been a very boom close and best friend right from childhood, primary, through secondary school to our good days in the university of Ife and to Shell (SPDC). We were three best friends (Toyin, Femi & me) and were like triplets to everyone that came across us on campus, we always and virtually lived together through our five years in Ife studying engineering. Your transition to glory is a very rude shock that I am yet to get out from and don’t know if and when I will because, at every remembrance of you, my eyes well up like an uncontrollable water tap. You were a blessing, inspirational, pleasant, gentle, hardworking, and resourcefully talented. You impacted everyone that came across you very positively, you were an accomplished engineer with exceptional leadership skills through your time in Shell (SPDC), Shell Nigeria Gas and SAPETRO. A loving bosom friend to the core, a loving husband to his wife – Nike and a wonderfully loving father to his beautiful daughters and handsome son. Your life was that of a great legacy which will continue to live in our heart. We are very saddened by your sudden and too soon departure to glory, we know for sure that this world is not ours, we are pilgrims in it but this assurance we confidently have is that we will meet in the by and by at the Lord’s feet to part no more. I have lost one of my best friends on this side of life and have decided to celebrate your life and legacy at every remembrance of you going forward. I pray the Lord comforts and console your wife – Nike, your children, your siblings, aged parents, family and loved ones left behind. May your soul rest peacefully and perfectly at the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. I know and look forward to seeing you in the by and by….. Adieu my bosom best friend Oluwatoyin Idowu the son of Adenuga. Sade and Gbemi Oladunjoye.

Bro Toyin was God fearing, humble & caring. A good husband to Nike and father to the "Ms". You lived a good life that is worthy of emulation.The righteous are taken before the evil day. We love you but God loves you most. Continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord Jesus. .

Rest in peace,dear friend.
