I had waited for this day since your 66th birthday ,finally today, I am so excited to be celebrating him as he clocks 70 , what a milestone .
Aside the fact that we have a striking resemblance, we share so much in common, little wonder we are close and also one of the reasons we clash, we no dey gree for each other , but he can tell I love him so much, and I know he loves us all, he shows it how best he can .
I admire his discipline, his confidence, his energy, his steadfastness and zeal. Despite his challenges, he stands tall, very strong and resilient .
A great dad and a good trainer , his trainings are part of what shaped me into who I am and still becoming , most of his words and life lessons echo in my brain , sometimes when I’m about to make some decisions , part of his lessons play back in my head and it helps in making some tough but right decisions .
My Dad is far too kind , when he had excess , family and friends benefited immensely from his grace and affluence , when challenges of life came , he still remained that with his little , his benevolence didn’t stop .
Daddy, the policy man, our own soldier , we love him like that, or better still “ I LOVE HIM LIKE THAT “ , no one is perfect , we all have flaws , only a negative soul will focus solely on “flaws” and refuse to give credit for your good deeds .
Baami, you’ve only spent 7 decades , you still have 3 more to go, the latter part of your life shall be better than the former, You will live long in good health and wealth , e ma jeun omo pe pe pe pe .
Happy Birthday Dad
Wishing you many more fruitful, healthy , wealthy and happy years 🙏🏾🎂❤️🥂
