“Her life was a shining example of grace, dignity, and unwavering faith. Princess Edionseri touched the lives of many through her wisdom, kindness, and dedication to both her family and her community. She taught us the importance of love, resilience, and faith in Allah, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations’.
As we grieve this monumental loss, we also celebrate the remarkable life she lived. Her laughter, warmth, and the values she instilled will forever remain in our hearts, guiding us as we navigate life without her physical presence’, the family added.
‘The funeral will take place according to Islamic rites on Monday, 6th January 2025, at 4:00 PM at her residence in Abeokuta GRA. May Allah (SWT) forgive her shortcomings, grant her Jannatul Firdaus, and strengthen us all during this difficult time. Ameen’, Adebowale wrote
Some notable personalities have been extending condolences to the family of the late Iyalaje and Iya Suna of Egbaland.
Princess Adebisi would have been 90 by April.
A successful businesswoman, her fame is not confined to Ogun State, where she resides.
At 89, the Ogun State-born magnate still possessed all that has given her fame and recognition all her life. She loved the good things of life and this reflects in the clothes and accessories she wore.
This respectable octogenarian and socialite had been ruling the social scene for decades and has lived her life in absolute dedication to her first love- fashion, style and beauty. It is no exaggeration to say that she had been a millionaire since the late 70s, when she was in her 30s. Many musicians benefitted from her largesse at the time. It is also worth noting that she got her sobriquet, Cash Madam, from the Juju legend, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey in the 80s.
She was the definition of colourful and flamboyance, and no party was worthy of its onion if Edionseri was not in attendance. She rocked the social scenes to the envy of many years back . Indeed, for her, life must be enjoyed to the hilt.
Till her death, she definitely did not show any sign of slowing down, as she still parties hard the way she did in her early age.
Edionseri attended parties hosted by her many affluent associates, and she still displays her knack for fashion.
