Oh Ibukun, I cant believe the last time I saw you was in Primark in Manchester and you were just shouting and jumping and pulling me.. so energetic as always! And the time before that it was in Silverbird and you were telling everyone "See Leila! Leila is this you" over and over again. And the time before that was ages ago in Habiba's house for her birthday.. Point is, every memory i have of you you were happy, smiling.. albeit a little crazy! Everytime you gave me jokes. Everytime.
Lol i remember when you made me walk from QC from ISL in the intense HEAT..took us over an hour and i nearly died of dehydration. And you were laughing at me and telling me that I was about to break.
I remember the very first time I got punished in QC and i was crying, you were like eyaaa THERES MORE COMING OH ajebutter better save your tears lolol
I remember my 'legendary' fight with Madame Umole and when she was beating me you were like DONT CRY, DONT LET HER BE HAPPY, lolol
Lol.. when you said you were leaving and we had a party for u and you came back. To be honest, this was what i was expecting. Till today I just expected you to come on facebook and explain to everyone that it was a joke. But reading everyone's memories somehow the reality has finally sunk in.
Ibukun may your soul rest in peace and trust me, no one will ever ever ever forget you. You were far too spectacular!
ibk!infact im shocked or more like yet to blieve it.i never told you dat i wanted to be the last born.But in the midst of the shock,the only consolation is that you are in heaven.
ibuks,i remember may 12th,the day b4 u left for heaven, when we went window shopping for my weddin and how excited you were abt bn my chief bride's maid.ibk everything is so clear in my brain.
ibk u were not only my sista but my best friend,and nobody will ever take dat place.we shared the same room,bed,wardrobe,even shoe size.
ibk i know ure gone but ure still alive.we have promised to name our first child,ibukun, whether male or female ,cos dat name brings joy,happiness,love,favour,success etc.
my sista,i remember when u were in QC and i was in ISL,how we will come home jisting abt all d stuff dat happened in skool.u were so full of life,like u always said"no dulling", u caught trips on every1 including our parents.
ibk im nt happy u left me dis way,cos u didnt give me any sign,on dat fateful day we slept on the same bed,i saw you to the door,i didnt know dat was the final bye.
anyway ibk dat wasnt the final bye to me cos as far as im concerned you still live cos eternal life is the ultimate.i luv u so much.soooooo much dearie.we all luv you.
IBK!

Ibukun, Can you remember Mrs Omogbehin? junior, wonu and Iyin's mum. She is gone now. She went before you, I didnt know you will go this soon. I can remember when we will go to Mrs Omogbehin's shop and play. I remember wonu's birthday..we were there together and you made it fun, we were so young and we were about to enter QC. I can remember when you met my mum and she thought you were too sharp for your age. You were the first friend I made in st.michael lesson...you were small and mighty and I thought that was cool....miss you Ibukun
