Some narratives deserve untiring retelling because they inspire; because they are filled with positive takeaways for humanity.
The story of the life of AbdulWahab Adeshina Madojutara Amao Adedoyin, who, by the infinite mercy of Allah, turns 70 today, is within the bracket of such inspirational stories that deserve constant narration.
Last year, at his 69th birthday, this edifying literature about him was posted here. The narrative has not changed, it has only gotten better.
The story is hereby retold in a more elaborate format.
Today is his day; it is our day. It is the birthday of the Gentleman ExtraOrdinaire, Chief, Religious Leader Par Excellence, Patriach of the Adedoyin Clan and Community Leader. This day, Alhaji Abdulwahab Adeshina Madojutara Amao Adedoyin, ex Banker, Tax Consultant and Businessman, turns a new Chapter in his exemplary sojourn on this planet.
It has been a blessed and most remarkable journey in which Allah (swt) has remained the Pathfinder and the Guide.
The life of the celebrant has indeed continued to be a source of inspiration to those of us around him because of its manifestations of Godliness, selflessness, compassion, love and devotion to worthy causes.
A mentor and a model worthy of emulation, the Osolo continues to inspire through his peaceful disposition, gentility, religious inclination rooted in true devotion to God, and tenacious devotion to societal good.
A gentleman in the truest definition of that much abused word, the ex banker, in line with the dictates of his profession, believes that trust is everything. For the Osolo his word is his bond. His business dealings and relationships with fellow human beings are defined by that word: trust. Never betray trusts is the compass through which he navigates the journey of life.
A kind hearted soul whose compassion towards others, from the family unit to the larger society, attracts admiration and emulation, Madojutara has continued to live up to that name by his demonstration of selfless love and kindness to all.
The subject of this eulogy continues to earn the affection, prayers and affection of all because he has continued to show the beauty of a life devoted to serving God and humanity.
A man of peaceful disposition and calm mien, our celebrant’s belief in peaceful co-existence is writ large by his philosophy of love to all and malice to none.
A true man of God, for Alhaji Abdulwahab religion means absolute faith in Allah and total devotion to HIM. It means hours and hours of supplications to HIM day and night and living by HIS precepts, while awaiting HIS decisions on all issues.
It is this man of sterling qualities and outstanding attributes, the patriach of the Adedoyin Clan that we celebrate today as he turns 70.
As you attain the landmark three scores and ten years in this terrain, it is our prayers that Allah who has never failed you will continue to grant your petitions. May you be around here for many more decades in good health, divine blessings, peace of mind, joy unspeakable and uncommon grace, Sir.
Happy birthday, Amao Ade, Omo Ada Oye, Omo Ade, Omo Ogboru Ile-Ife, Omo Onife Abure. Igba Odun, Odun kan ni, In sha Allah.
