He is an icon in all ramifications, he came to this world and greatly impacted his generation. May his soul rest in peace.

I was privileged to meet with you a few years ago and the memory is still fresh like yesterday. Your inspiring stories, hospitality and fatherly demeanour remain indelible. Rest, our beloved father and may your spirit of excellence and hard work motivate today's youth to aspire for godly ambitions. Rest in the bosom of the Lord as a worthy soldier of Christ.

Thank you for blazing the trail sir

Grand Master Otunba Balogun was a father to all. He loved all equally. He will always remain close to my heart. He was kind and caring and understanding towards people. Help came so easily from you sir. You were a blessing and God's gift to everyone that came across you. You brought so much joy to us. Rest well Sir.

I had the privilege of being lodged in the Ijebu Ode Guest House of Baba Subomi in 2010 during a train-the-trainers programme and that event gave me the opportunity of experiencing class, royalty and exotic luxury, these are the qualities I learnt from this great man. Fare thee well Sir.

You came, you saw and you conquered. You certainly left the world better than you met it. Rest in peace a man of class and excellence

To my dear brothers Ladi and Bolaji, Whilst I only met our beloved father on only two occasions, his kindness, gentleness and compassion quickly became evident. I’m so proud of what you and the family have done to not only protect but grow his legacy and the contributions your family continues to give to Nigeria is nothing short of admirable. Thank you to our dear father and leader for his immense and noticeable footprint and achievements and most notably an amazing family whom I’m honored to call friends. My condolences and I know he’s rejoicing with the all mighty and angles surrounding him as he celebrates your continued success here on earth. All my love and support to your beautiful family.

May Almighty God grant him eternal rest.

Fare there well our menthor and father. You have indeed impacted many lives and left legacies for us to follow. Good bye sir.

In honor of the late Otunba Subomi Balogun, an iconic inspiration to me. His story empowered me to leave my job at 40 and pursue entrepreneurship. Today, we celebrate

I was shocked to my foundation when I heard about the demise of the great ICON, the doyen of banking and capital markets, who positively impacted the lives of so many people including myself. I was lucky to have worked closely with him for five years on my second coming to First City Group. I learned integrity, hard-work, selflessness, how to motivate others to achieve success in life, plus more. May your kind soul rest in peace my mentor. I loved you.
