IPE AKOKO - Cultural Heritage & Development.

19/12/2025

We join the Ologunoye family, Uwi Quarter, and the entire community of Ipe Akoko in mourning the profound loss of Dr. Oluwatimilehin, son of the late Raphael Ologunoye and grandson of the late Zacheous Ologunoye, as he is laid to rest today in the United Kingdom.

With heavy hearts, we reflect on the unexpected fall of this great tree. His life was a living testament—a quiet example, a blessing to many, and a source of wise counsel that guided countless individuals. His passing leaves a silence where his voice once steadied and inspired us.

Dr. Timi was a pillar of support for the Ipe Cultural Heritage, a generous sponsor whose belief in our mission helped breathe life into our fading traditions. We, the entire team and management, extend our deepest condolences to his family. Your contributions and steadfast support for our work in reviving our culture will forever be remembered with gratitude and affection.

To his family, his town, and all who called him friend, we share in your sorrow.

Family Eulogies

A true son of great warriors. We shall miss you deeply. Your life gently touched so many souls, and we pray the goodness you cultivated on earth now becomes your eternal peace. Rest well. You are gone, but the mark of your good heart remains with us all.
