As we mark, the 8th day fidau (Prayer) of your late father, I, even though belated sympathize with you on the death of your father who to many mentored one of the greatest business man in our country and his incredible contributions to the growth and development of our country when we think of his unwavering dedication and commitments to mankind which makes him an inspiration to all, we take consolation to the fact that he lived a life worthy of emulation. His leadership skills and visionary mindset which paved the way of your success in life was an inspiration for all parents showing them that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.
Your father indeed had in his lifetime been a pillar of support for countless individuals who aspire to make a difference in the society. His guidance and mentorship have empowered young leaders to step forward and take charge. When I think of his ability to connect with people from all walks of life regardless of their background or affiliation which is truly remarkable, I take consolation in the fact that he lived a worthy life.
His inclusive approach to the development of all have brought about positive change and unity within his community, local government, state and indeed the country at large. He was everywhere as one of those few good men, a true philanthropist, an accomplished family man, a perfect gentleman, a man of velour, the bringer of rain. In the gallery of great men, he is without doubt a rare masterpiece.
As we mark the 8th day of fidau of his death and to me, it also mark a memento which to put it in proper perspective has made him to join the list of great men who have gone to the life beyond at the proper time of their mercurial power poised like bronze champion, glowing flamboyantly in the golden flame by living his life in preparing himself to capture and conquer arguably, the one ultimate laurel for which his superlatives gifts and brilliantly clamour to be manifestly written on his tomb with maximum success stories and a plomb woven into the matrix of intrepiehomogeneous ubiquity which made him live a life that comes like a comet and leaving through, atrial of light. Your father in his lifetime was a man of immense mettle and a completely detribalized human being with a prolonged and profound depth of character, whose humility is devoid of discrimination, embraces all and sundry, he soared like an eagle and exudes reverence and integrity. A pragmature community leader full of benevolence, he gave hope to the hopeless, job to the jobless and welfare and succor to the poor and needy. To every one who have the honour of crossing his path, he was a benevolent light. He was a visionary man bubbling with the ideals of entrenching a united peaceful, peaceful, harmonious vision community and the nation honest, transparent, dependable, uncomplicated and full of wisdom. He had changed many effortlessly with words.
No wonder, my friend, you are one of the most innovative person in business today especially, the estate management world because we see the trait of your father replicated in you which is our consolation. As we mark his fidau today, I want to thank him (your father) for all he has done for you, his wonderful family, villages, local government area, state and the country. He is an inspiration to all fathers, not just to his family but to many. You wouldn’t be a success and the strong position you are today without his passion, care. Dedication and leadership. Adieu, papa.
