The late frontline estate agent, Teslim Adeola Almoro, was recently honoured by family members, friends and associates in Lagos at his one-year remembrance/Fidau prayers.
Almoroof, who is the head of Arota/Ologun family of Orile Oshodi in Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area of Lagos State, died on Thursday, July 2, 2020, in Lagos during a brief illness.
The Fidau prayer, organised by renowned estate agent, Alhaji Mutairu Owoeye, at his residence, in Atan Ota, Ogun State, was witnessed by dignitaries from within and outside the state.
Speaking at the occasion, Owoeye said the memory and legacy of the late Almoroof would remain indelible in the hearts of the people, who value quality leadership and rare virtues in man.
He described his former boss (Almaroof) as an epitome of everything that is good, stressing: “The most important thing is that he played his role and he has left a legacy. Not just a legacy, but a good legacy”.
He said the late Almaroof was deeply loved by the common people, whose aspirations he championed and who benefitted greatly from his benevolence.

Owoeye said it was based on his virtues that people refer to Almaroof as “saviour of the poor”, adding that the deceased was more comfortable identifying with the poor, despite his wealth and social standing.
Owoeye said one-year after the death of Almoroof, he was yet to get used to it, saying his contributions to the development of people’s lives cannot be overemphasised.
He said Almoroof left the world at a critical time when the family and the community and the country needed his counsels to heal, and grow, noting that his absence is being felt by all associates.
“I think Almoroof is a special human being. Many things we said while he was alive are just becoming clearer to me after his death. Baba would be remembered for being just and fair to both Islam and Christianity alike. He was a detribalised Nigerian.”
Owoeye also appealed to the extended family of the deceased not to be distant from the wife and children, as a way of promoting and sustaining the legacies of the deceased.
