Remembering Pa Francis Abayomi OYEDELE; a simple teacher who simplifies Physics, Mathematics

He trained his children in the way of God. Thank God, the children become our pride in his lifetime.

“I am sure he will certainly find peace and favour in the bossom of his Maker. Rest in paradise my dear husband”, Mrs Oyedele prayed.

Pa Femi OYEDELE’s sons; Oluwadamilare and Oluwasegunfunmi expressed appreciation for the unquantifiable investment of their father in their lives. They promised to take after him in terms of been kind to people, as well, continue to live as responsible father and husband respectively.“With everything added together, my husband builds me – Widow, Mrs ‘Remilekun Oyedele

It’s indubitable that any brains in which Physics and Mathematics – two of the three most volatile subjects – find convenience, certainly deserve due recognition.

Nonetheless, the inputs of the two subjects in the inventions needed for Gen Zs to maximize their stay on earth, willing brains in particular, who have been teachers of Mathematics and Physics should be celebrated.

One of such finest teachers was Venerable Oluwafemi Abayomi Francis OYEDELE, an “embodiment of Physics and Mathematics SIMPLIFIED”.

Katherine Johnson, the African-American mathematician, had puts it succinctly that “some things (people) will drop out of the public eye and go away”, same way Venerable Francis Oyedele the Mathematician has gone away in flesh, but the invaluable knowledge he instilled in many brains can’t be substituted in time, Johnson then assured that, “there will always, always be mathematics”.

During his time here, Pa Oluwafemi Abayomi Francis Oyedele, RazorTimes, gathered have related “directly proportional” with the world around him as ONE; be it in front of chalkboard as a seasoned Mathematics/Physics teacher and examiner, on the soccer field officiating as centre referee, or on the alter teaching the congregation of the Most High and in particular, loving, guiding and providing for his nuclear and extended family” in resonance with “a general believe that Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries” which sees “the cultural world as ONE country”, as stated by David Hilbert, the German mathematician.

Speaking during his burial service held at the African Church, Cathedral of Jehovah Jireh, Ilaro in Yewa South LGA, Ogun State, the Diocese’ Arch Bishop of Ogun Province of African Church, Most Rev’d S.O.B Ojumu said, the dexterity with which late Oluwafemi Abayomi Francis Oyedele applied himself – ‘the knowledge of Mathematics and Physics’ – to the real world would make anyone sees this planet a simple ONE to live.

Late Oyedele gave his best to the development and growth of humanity; he gives freely to a fault.

“I would implore the wife of the deceased, Mrs Remilekun Oyedele to be more prayerful, as well, the children to take good care of their mother and strive to achieve and surpass the enviable repute of their late father”, says Rev’d Ojumu.

Late Venerable Oyedele retired as a Zonal Education Officer (ZEO), Ifo, at the State Ministry of Education in April 14, 2004.

He was a Special Marshal with the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and also a member of Nigeria Referees Association (NRA) and Nigeria Football Association (NFA) respectively.

Late Francis Oyedele, 63, born on the 29th of March, 1960 at Infant Welfare Centre, Ifo to late Joseph Ayinla Oyedele and Chief Mrs Ayoka Elizabeth Oyedele, survived by wife, Mrs Remilekun Oyedele, two sons; ‘Dare and ‘Segun, as well as grandchildren and in-laws.

In her lamentations, Mrs Oluwaremilekun OYEDELE, said the transition of his beloved husband was a tragedy she couldn’t bear.
