Adenike 38, suddenly collapsed last saturday in London. Seriously Doughnuts had lunch at Nike's Pattaya Thai Restaurant during Arise Fashion Week and we were truly impressed with Nike's fantastic restaurant, the food, the deco, the ambience and customer service which were all a true testament to Adenike's hardwork and expertise. She was indeed a pride to women in business.
May she rest in peace. Amen. We have so many mutual friends and Pattaya is such a fab place to hang out.
ReplyDeleteThis world is not our own, may she RIP
ReplyDeleteOmg. How sad. First met her years ago when I had a party for my children at her restaurant. It was called by another name, and then I saw her in Accra last year and she was so sweet. Really sad. RIP.
ReplyDeleteKemiismyrealname; it was Vintage and then changed to Pattaya. So sad!

Nike, may God rest your soul. I was at your dads funeral in the early 90s and he was indeed a great man. I cannot fathom why you had to go join him so young, so soon but God knows best.
ReplyDeleteRIP Nike. Its really saddening. May God grant your loved ones the fortitude to bear this great loss. TY
ReplyDeleteMay she truly RIP!
ReplyDeleteReally sad. We grew up together in Ibadan. She was the daughter of the late millonaire - chief Adeseun Ogundoyin. Like her dad, she also had the SS gene. I'm glad she was able to leave a family behind because the SS crisis is no fun at all. Cute little thing back then..she was miss ISI.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace and may God continue to be with her loved ones and us all. Amen.
Olu.
Adenike , We will miss u! May ur soul rest in peace. i still can't believe ur gone ......May God grant ur husband and kids the fortitude to bear this loss.
