The celebrant has always been a goal-getter. Hence, it is no surprise that on his 85th anniversary, he has already secured the best birthday present he could wish for, namely ruddy good health and the abundant blessings of the Almighty in addition to the love of his wives and children among whom are a set of twins who are only ten years old.
Beyond his worldly endowment – fabulous wealth,
numerous chieftaincy titles (both spiritual and temporal) he has nailed his
mast to the demonstration of goodwill to all and malice to none.
It is self-evident that his generosity of spirit
knows no bounds. Indeed, it is circumscribed by his benevolence which has
crystallized into humongous philanthropy – especially in the field of education
and health which dwarf his intimidating gifts to churches and mosques in almost
equal dimensions. What is even more remarkable is that the celebrant’s
compassion is not of recent vintage. Rather, it goes way back to his humble
beginnings when he faced the storms of life and eventually triumphed.
For a man who is a business mogul as well as
titan in various spheres of human endeavour, what has endeared him to all are
his humility and amiable disposition together with his great sense of humour
plus his generous support for sports.
His monumental achievements have propelled him
beyond the boundary of Nigeria to the international arena where he has been
accorded the respect and recognition which he rightly deserves as a rare gem.
May he continue to prosper and flourish as he
embarks on a journey that promises even greater glory and a more bountiful
harvest.
