“Yoo Si Dara” Young Daddy.
With great gratitude to Almighty God, I celebrate the 90th birthday of my wonderful father,
The Mayegun of Emure Kingdom. He is my mirror and chief ambassador of my destiny. Daddy made a lot of sacrifice for me and my siblings, he loves education, he is the very fabric of my being, the divine architect of my destiny.
Daddy gives me a lot of hope that my future is more important than the present and the present is more important than the past. My unparallel compass through life’s storms, Daddy has uncommon love for me, he gave me strength and hope in the midst of challenges.
He made me understand that I must turn my adversity to a stepping stone not tomb stones.
Daddy is a joyful fellow a protagonist,an epitome of wisdom and a man of principles.
I honour your sense of circumspection.
It’s bright in my heart, the memories we shared together when I was growing up .
I remember one of the stories titled; GBE WEMI GBE WEMI,REPLIED Agbo GBE WE MI OOO .
ODUN META TILO OKAN TILO,REPLIED AGBO GBE WEMI OOO. E Miko beni kan sota.Agbo GBE WEMI.
DADDY, you made me understand that I must not run away from responsibilities
You called my attention to animal Kingdom that the pride place is always reserved for the elephant.
Lion doesn’t lose focus,I must not lose focus no matter the storms of life or negative opinions towards me.
I should carve my ways with my own hands.
I shouldn’t depend on any one.
Daddy always says, it’s better to be poor and happy than to to be rich and live in the constant life of fear.
Professional Teacher,(A professor Nigeria Never had).after his retirement,
He joined politics.
