She was a peaceful woman who lived amicably with her brothers, sisters and other relatives, and coped with everyone. She is also known as a straight forward and upright woman and will be remembered for her tolerance and patience in all circumstances. She was a rallying point for many and she came through for her children as a dependent mother.

Late Mrs Isengede Election Giniwa (Nee Orimola) gave her life to Christ at the Victory Christian Ministry. She served God as a devoted Christian and lived a fulfilled life in Christ untill her illness and sudden passing to eternal glory on the 27th of October 2024 at the age of 72 years.

Mama will be remembered for touching the lives of many members of the family, both immediate and extended; she will be greatly and solely missed by those who had the privilege of knowing and interacting with her during her life time. 

May her gentle and golden soul rest peacefully in the Bosom of the Almighty God until we meet to part no more.
