The FotoDadi Foundation was founded in loving memory of Tonye Claude-Wilcox and Wemba Otike-Odibi, both great men who impacted lives. Their legacy of love, kindness, and service continues to inspire our mission to support orphaned and fatherless children.
Honoring Their Memory
These two remarkable men inspired the creation of our foundation through their lives of service, generosity, and love for others.
Tonye Claude-Wilcox
Tamunotonye Boma Claude-Wilcox was the second of the four children of Chief and late Dr. (Mrs) Claude-Wilcox of Bonny, Rivers state. He was a dynamic and successful businessman who served as CEO of Petroleum Brokers Limited.
Tonye was down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, loving and selfless. He was passionate about motorcycling and was a founding member of one of the motorcycling clubs in Lagos. He died in a tragic bike-related accident in early 2011.
Wemba Otike-Odibi
Wemba Otike-Odibi was the third child of late Chief and Mrs. Otike-Odibi. He studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Benin, graduating in 1998 with upper class honors. He worked with MTN and had quickly risen to head the Contact center's support team by 2005.
Wemba was an amazing man; he was ambitious, generous and kind hearted. He was passionate about God, family and caring for the under privileged. He died in a tragic bike-related accident in Ikoyi, Lagos in April 2005.
Their Living Legacy
Though Tonye and Wemba are no longer with us, their spirit of generosity and care for others lives on through every child we support and every family we help. The FotoDadi Foundation stands as a testament to their belief in the power of education and community support.
"They will forever be in our hearts, and their memory continues to inspire our work in supporting the education of orphaned and fatherless children. Every scholarship awarded, every child supported, and every dream fulfilled honors their legacy of love and service."
