With heavy hearts and tear-filled eyes, we bid farewell to a pillar of strength, wisdom, and love in our lives. Our dear mentor, whose guidance, support, and unwavering belief in Bellafricana shaped our journey for over a decade, has left this world to embark on his eternal journey. Though we mourn his loss deeply, we find solace in knowing that he touched countless lives with his kindness, generosity, and boundless spirit.
From the moment our paths crossed and our hearts connected, it was evident that a divine bond had been formed. His nurturing presence, akin to that of a loving father, enveloped us in warmth and encouragement, propelling us forward on our entrepreneurial quest with renewed determination and purpose. Through every triumph and challenge, he stood by our side, a beacon of strength and inspiration, guiding us with his sage advice and firm support.
Our mentor’s impact extended far beyond the realm of business; he became an integral part of our family, embracing our joys and sorrows as his own. His genuine interest in our lives, from the growth of Bellafricana to the arrival of our beloved baby Bellafricana, exemplified the depth of his compassion and the richness of his character. He celebrated our milestones with boundless joy and shared in our moments of sorrow with heartfelt empathy, a testament to the depth of his love and friendship.
One of the most cherished memories we hold dear is his enthusiastic support for the ACE Awards initiative in 2016. With unwavering dedication and boundless generosity, he poured his time, resources, and unwavering belief into bringing our vision to life, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and the Bellafricana community.
As we navigate the void left by his absence, we find comfort in the enduring legacy he leaves behind. His wisdom, guidance, and unwavering belief in our potential will continue to inspire us in our journey, serving as a beacon of light to guide us through life’s twists and turns.
To our dear mentor, whose presence illuminated our lives with warmth, wisdom, and love, we say thank you. Thank you for believing in us, for nurturing our dreams, and for blessing us with your unwavering support and friendship. Though you may no longer walk beside us, your spirit will forever remain etched in our hearts, a guiding light to lead us through the darkest of nights.
With love, gratitude, and profound sorrow,
Bukky Asehinde, Tobi Asehinde and the Bellafricana Family
