OUR LEGEND
OF THE WEEK
#1
She was just 23 when she died after a fearless battle with cancer, but
within that short span of her life, she had achieved what many could not even
if they attained the age of 100. She was an embodiment of brilliance, beauty
and impeccable look. She was such a great personality whose credibility
attracted young and old to her. Who was she?
She
was Modurodoluwa Iyanuoluwa Ige. Born on 18th October, 1989 as the 2nd child in a family of 3, Sisi Durodoluwa
Iyanuoluwa Mashadi (as she was fondly called by friends) grew up to become
what we can simply call “the joy of motherhood”. She was a no-nonsense and
admirable Health Prefect Girl with numerous ‘school daughters and sons’ during
her secondary school days. The press club of Gof International College, Osogbo,
where she graduated few years ago, will never forget her fashion-styled
presentations. She was an adept newscaster.
The 2010 Political Science graduate
of Redeemers University, Lagos State and an indigene of Ilesha in Osun State, will
forever be remembered as a dedicated member of the chapel's army of ushers. What
a God-fearing lady she was! The fashionable Dolu Ige completed her studies with
excellent grades and served her fatherland accordingly. The elegant lady
finally succumbed in her battle with Rectal Cancer on Sunday, 16th
of June, 2013. The hundreds of messages that flooded her Facebook page within
hours of her death were enough to speak for her. What a great loss for our dear
nation. “Modurodoluwa Ige, the cold hands
of death took you away from us. If tears could bring you back, we would gladly
cry to bring you back. All we can do now is to live our lives well by helping,
caring and loving one another. RIP Dolu”, one of her friends wrote on
Facebook.
Achievers
and great men world around agree that true success is measured by the amount of
lives they have affected positively and the magnitude of the effect they have
on those lives. Riches and Wealth will always come as a by product and will
also pass away with them, but their
impact will remain forever just like Ige Modurodoluwa.
Dolu Ige, we love you but God loves
you most, continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord where we shall meet to
part no more. Rest In Peace!
Her words in every situation "IT is well my Dear, it is well". Gosh Dlu is missed and all other friends that left too early.
