Ex-banking Topshot, Bukky Latunji Loses Mum 

According to US-born author and poet, Marion Garretty, “A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.’’

It is not surprising that when the mother that gave you the fuel to do the impossible finally bids farewell to mother earth, it hits hard and the pain is unexplainable.

This is the position former banking topshot, Bukola Latunji presently finds herself.

As gathered, Latunji, who is also into mentorship, public speaking and lifestyle training, was distraught when death snatched away her beloved mother, Christiana Olufunmilayo Latunji.

Since the death of the Ogun State-born mum, Latunji has been thrown into mourning. She is distraught while her heart has silently been in pain, while friends, business partners, as well as old colleagues have been grieving with her thorough visits, calls as well as messages.

As hinted, the woman who died at the ripe age of 83, was described as someone with character made of steel, hard-willed and spunky. These, we gathered, helped her not only in her business dealings, but in all ramifications.

She was also described as a forthright mum who conducted her relationship with family, friends and acquaintances with an unmistakable sense of seriousness and candour. She was also described as a cheerful giver with high sense of hospitality. These characters she inculcated into her five children while alive. 

When such woman dies, with love that transcends boundaries and overcoming obstacles with unwavering strength, she deserves nothing but grand farewell celebration that would make her smile in her grave and give thumbs up to her children for job well done. According to a source, the burial is expected to take place before the end of 2024.

Fiends that were at the burial of Latunji’s father’s two years ago know she does not do her things in half measures. So, they are looking forward to another grand celebration of life.
