An erudite scholar with the Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom and son of Igbogbo Kingdom, Dr Nurudeen Oshinlaja, PhD., has been congratulated on his birthday today by the Councillorship Aspirant for Ward C1, Igbogbo/Bayeku Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Prince Fatola Adesegun.
Prince Fatola described the celebrant not only as highly informed and seasoned academia, but also as a politically savvy, builder of men and community.
His congratulatory message is reproduced below:
We toast to you our most revered sage, our brother in all explicable sense, and a societal giant.
Although, we celebrate you daily, but today, being your special day, we express our best wishes to you, sir.
Sir, that you are politically savvy is incontrovertible. This is why even your traducers rush to associate with you. You are a patriarch of inestimable global impacts. You are a quintessential nationalist, a social reformer, an advocate of fundamental human rights, the best builder of human capital in our kingdom, an author and orator, a distinguished doctor and a devout family man. While you clearly achieve greatness by your smart and hard working traits, the ways you project your eponymous Oshinlaja’s surname is both legendary and enigmatic by all standards.
What we read, hear, and know about your beautiful years attest to your steadfastness. You never feel shy about major issues, you always took a clear stand on burning issues and defend it to the best of your ability, even when many do not agree with you. Your approach to life evidently represents a potent pill for longevity.
One of your favorite quotes, “Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head; and this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks and good in every thing”, reflects in every aspect of your lifestyle. While everyone complains about the bad in many situations, you explore the silver lining and make optimum use of the prevailing circumstances. That you are never hubristic about your towering achievements, awe us.
You are a leader of modern cast, far ahead in developmental outlook; only few of your contemporaries can match you in vibrancy and nouveau practices.
We make bold to call ourselves your bloodline. Many thanks for all you have done and will still do for us.
Dear Dr, please, accept our sincere birthday wishes. We pray that as your age increases, so shall your strength. The grace of God upon your life shall not diminish.
As your birthday is beautiful, so shall you continue to have a beautiful life no matter how long. Do have an awesome day, sir.
E-Signed:
Prince Fatola Adesegun
Councillorship Aspirant for Ward C1, IBLCDA.
