“Upon her sudden and indeed painful demise, her loving husband, Prince Samson Ataiyero and her appreciative children thought it deserving to keep up her extraordinary zeal for developing others. Hence, they nurtured and registered the Ruth Aina Ataiyero Foundation situated at the Heritage City in Ilesa, Osun State.”
“To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.”
– Robert Louis Stevenson
“Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.”
– Brandon Lee
Lady Ruth Aina Ataiyero is alive. She lives. She is marching on. Undeterred. Unfazed. Unperturbed.
Eighteen months ago, on April 1, 2023, she moved on to glory. She never died. Before she passed on, she had made sure, never to die. She had made sure to live on. She had made sure to live in our hearts. In the hearts of those of us who had the luck to know her, to relate with her, to drink out of her milk of human kindness.
She had paid the price of love. She had made the sacrifice of love. She had done the needful. She received so many blessings and she was a blessing to many. Yes, Lady Aina Ataiyero passed on, eighteen months ago to the great beyond, without dying. She lived her life so intrinsically and generous enough to guarantee her immortality.
Her belief in life, engendered the way she lived. It instructed her dispositions and idiosyncrasies. It helped to sanitize her vision and purpose. It formed the rudiments of her character. It patterned her personality. It modeled her outlook in life. It made her into a great Amazon that she was, and she would be remembered as.
If anyone of us needs the proof for this, all we need to do is just pay attention. Patiently survey the environment. Look at what is happening today. The consummation of the RUTH AINA ATAIYERO FOUNDATION.
It is easier to attest to her having been a wonderful wife. A loving mother. A caring sister. An affectionate daughter. A reliable friend. A kind heart. An empathetic soul. A free spirit. An authentic noumenon. A lavish host. A sagacious socialite. An exemplar of fashionista sapience. Joyous. Jovial. Jocular. Dignified. Decent. Decorous. Her vivacity was magnetic. She was gorgeous with an aura of splendour. A heraldry of coagulation of tradition and modernity.
She engaged many to find out how she could be of support and help. She asked questions to find relevant answers. She probed for further discoveries and extended frontiers. She discovered new and enhanced the extant horizons; and expanded the vastness of the vistas for many. She nourished. She encouraged. She inspired. She gave hope. She pointed out possibilities. She was endearing. She commanded respect. She was consummate. She was inimitable. Impeccable. Classy. Polished.
Princess Ruth Aina Ataiyero was an Amazon genuinely passionate about investing her time and resources in the art of building and supporting all who are lucky to have known her. Examples of her exploits in human capital development are too numerous to mention. Upon her sudden and indeed painful demise, her loving husband, Prince Samson Ataiyero and her appreciative children thought it deserving to keep up her extraordinary zeal for developing others. Hence, they nurtured and registered the Ruth Aina Ataiyero Foundation situated at the Heritage City in Ilesa, Osun State.

The values that exuded joy from her heart and gave hope and happiness to others. The values that would sustain, ensure and actively engage her spirit infinitely.
It is obvious that the life and times of Lady Aina Ataiyero has imbued those who know her with great lessons. She has through her exemplary life, gave us enriching life memories. She made us all many into happy warriors in life. There is no doubt that when she passed on, on April 1, 2023, she was a happy and fulfilled Lady, wife and mother.
Amazons like Lady Aina Ataiyero never die. They rise and show every morning like the sun does from the East. They remain as constant as the Northern Star in our hearts. They live on through these kinds of memories. They live on through the work of their hands as guided by their hearts and convictions and their kindness.
Like Dalai Lama once said, “Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.” But Lady Aina Ataiyero did share more than her knowledge. She shared her love, affection and care. She shared her kindness and empathy. She shared her heart and soul. She lived a life worth remembering. She has achieved immortality. This RUTH AINA ATAIYERO FOUNDATION is the attestation to this.
