ADIEU ESV ZACHEUS ABIODUN ODELEYEBaba Z. A. Odeleye was a great mentor, charismatic leader and gave all necessary assistance and supports to younger ESVs especially those aspiring elections into the corporate membership (ANIVS) and registration at the Institution and the Board respectively. He was like a father to most of us the young surveyors (regardless of being his staff or not)in the Pacesetter Branch (OYO NIESV), any professional issues/challenges discussed with him were simplified for us.
He really contributed greatly to human capacity and professional development of every member and our noble profession at the Branches, Faculty and National level as well as in the Board.
We had loss a rare gem and doyen in Estate Surveying and Valuation Profession.
I pray that Jehovah God shall accept his soul, forgives his transgressions, grant him eternal and peaceful rest at the best place in the Paradise as his final abode.
Almighty God shall grant the entire family members, friends, loved ones, noble colleagues, the Pacesetter Branch, the Institution and the Board the comfort and fortitutude to bear the irreparable loss.
Rest In Perfect Peace (Pa) ZACHEUS ABIODUN ODELEYE FNIVS, RSV.

It's shocking to hear of your demise just few hours we were all asking ourselves diffently at our corners, why you were not at the branch AGM, which definitely was unusual!Now, we can only relate with what you stood for in your lifetime. You stood tall among your contemporaries and a worthy example to many of us of upcoming generation. Anyone aspiring for greatness cannot but admire you from afar, but you were very close anyway. Your desire & interest in the next generation growth & development was genuinely crystal clear. Your dissection & presention of issues notably are persuasive, appealing & convincing.
NIESV has lost another icon & a brilliant professional too soon. soon....
May the Lord grant the immediate family, relatives ,friends & NIESV the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss!
Adieu Baba Odeleye.

ESV (Elder) Biodun Odeleye, a man with passion and love for Estate management profession and a friend to young and old professional colleaguesAt his old age I can't remember he ever missed a council meeting, since I became a council member. No matter the distance, baba must surface. He was known for brokering peace and always seeking the progress of our institution.
Baba will be missed for his words of wisdom, his intelligence, his eloquence, his advices and counsels.
Sleep on baba until we meet again to part no more

*THE MIDNiGHT CANDLE HAS GONE OPAQUE*Night fall nght fall you are my greatest mortal enemey, why were you ever created, why can't it be day light, day light for ever more. Elder Biodun Odeleye, a colosus in the midst of giants, an amiable personify who is not want for frivolities but for realities. You have gone so soon. If we say we have missed your brilliance, that would be an understatement. Your wisdom, eloquence and rendition of the queens language is a beauty to behold and we can't forget that so soon. If not for anything, I owe you this little bit for your sense of communication, native intelligence and the way you calm down fseemingly intractable challenges in a way that melts all problems away. Your native intelligence is second to none, though, at times we confuse it to mean conpromise or condesending. The last time we spoke was after the NIESV AGM and more than ever before I was convinced that your solution to the immperse was an excellent one. Your drive and commitment as a surveyor is worthy of emulation. Despite your health challenges,you died in active service for your institution, nay your colleagues.
We would refuse to brood over your demise, but celebrate a fulfilled and worthy life.
Missing you, yes for *a ,GIANT* has gone, not to be back again.
*CRY NOT* community of surveyors for an uncommon man is gone.

So pathetic! What a great loss to NIESV OSUN STATE BRANCH. When I heard about the sad news of the departure of ESV (ELDER) BIODUN ODELEYE, I began to ask myself some questions. What is the measure of a man? Is it the amount of money he has? The possessions he owns and the power he holds? Is it the professional success he’s achieved over the years?I don’t believe it is any of these things. The true measure of a man is how much love he gives; how selflessly he shares whatever he can to help others; how consistently he lifts up those around him with a kind word, a funny joke, a compliment, a humble ear or the very shoes off his feet.
By this measure, ESV BIODUN ODELEYE was immeasurable.
An erudite result oriented ESV has finally gone. Rather gratitude to Almighty God for the exemplary enviable life he enabled him to demonstrate maritally, socially, professionally and spiritually to admiration of many where he had worked, lived, practiced and worshipped. To God be the glory for this outstanding feat.
May the Lord grant the Family and the Institution the fortitude to bear the gigantic vacuum created by the Home Call of our own Elder Biodun Odeleye. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

How can you enter river without wet and how will touch fire without being burn, yes, how will one relate with you-Elder and NOT derive enough knowledge and benefit, very rare if not impossible! I'm a testimony to this! I met you for the first time in Ibadan and you identified something in my life. This transformed to what I'm in the profession now! I thank you for that day I met you and period I was with you are lovable and memorable. Now, that you've translated to join the saint, we have solace that you met Christ who's now your lamp!

Hmmm God you are indeed GREAT. Who are we to question your desire? Certainly this news is not going down well. It's a bitter pill.Baba had given so much that we can't wait to have more from his fountain of wisdom, diligence, commitment
and unparallel love for our dear Profession.
Baba was an embodiment of intellectual think tank, who spoke directly to hearts in subtle mood via cleverly and interestingly crafted words that elevates hope for NIESV greatness.
Baba we can't challenge God's will but certainly your exit has left a deep vacuum in NIESV family.
Adieu Daddy - your commitment to attendance of Council meetings, oratory in command of English, tactical approach to solving burning issues and ever cheerful locomotive clap shall remain fresh in my memory. Rest in peace Baba rere.

The news of your demise came as a rude shock and it got me thinking of my contact and journey with you in the last 22 years. I had my first IT experience in your office 1998. You have since being a mentor, Father and Friend. You offered me the first job after graduation before the opening came to go into academics . We have since maintained a father and daughter relationship in the practice of Estate Management. You taught me excellence and structure in practice and office administration. I felt achieved when you printed for me even as an IT student my first set of complimentary cards to work with. You showed me early the importance of accounting in Real Estate Practice.We had our last communication on the 21st June when I said Happy Father's day and you replied with a prayer.
You are a statement in the Spirit that the Lord Jesus should teach us all to number our days that we may all apply our hearts to wisdom
Rest in Peace Baba Odeleye. You remain my heart always. Thank you for giving to this generation. It was to God you gave. Adieu to a great ESV , Father , Friend and Teacher. You will surely be missed by many.
May your family find the comfort of the Spirit and help in every way in the days and years to come in Jesus Name. Amen!

Elder Odeleye was a father who never took the younger ones for granted but listened to every comment with clear sense of hhumour and dignity. He never allowed his age nor his wealth or position to form a dichotomy to.every kind of relationship. I am yet to his close comparable within common. I personally loved his emotional balance and tolerance that will forever remain indelible in my mind. I pray for the Lord to grant him eternal rest and strengthen us and his biological family to bear his demise. REST IN PEACE BABA BIODUN. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL SENSE OF RESPECT!!!!ESV.(Pastor) Samuel Obidinma posted on 08-08-2020

Baba Odeleye was a loving, ever cheerful man. I noticed him first during Oyo State Rating Exercise in 1995 trying to calm down field workers and assured them of good returns. My own father later introduced me to him as an estate surveyor in the making. He had since encouraged me and here I am a fellow of the Institution. Thanks so much. We all in the profession will miss you. Rest on sir in the blossom of God.faloye solomon posted on 12-08-2020

I could not but fell in love with your oratory prowess. Your analytical way of driving home your valid point was one of a kind.
You were a shinning example for us "the young ones"
You have done your bit in the project called "LIFE"
Now, go home and enjoyed your deserved rest.
We loved you, but God loves you more.
