TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN, ASIWAJU OLAYINKA FASUYI AT 70!
The basic annals of history are usually crowded with those individual(s) that overcame discouragement and risen from the concept of obscurity to a great limelight in life and also it was Peter not Peter, The Apostle, but the alliterative Peter, the writer of THE John Walpole’s book, entitled “FORTITUDE” said, “It isn’t LIFE that matter(s) but the quantum of courage one puts unto it.”
After life had done terrible things unto Peter. He said, amongst other things: “Blessed be all sorrow, sadness, tribulation, for of these cometh the making of a great icon, ASIWAJU OLAYINKA FASUYI. Moreover, Kwameh Nkrumah of Ghana in his book, “I Speak of Freedom,” dedicated to Patrice Lumumba, late Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo and to all who are engaged in the struggle for the political unification of Africa, had this to say about someone like ASIWAJU FASUYI OLAYINKA: “Let us live by deeds, not words, and stick to our policies like firm rocks and not shift like quicksand. We shall prove ourselves by our fidelity to our purpose, by our faithfulness to our cause, our upholding the confidence of the people and above all by our assiduously maintaining the solidarity of the glowing tribute of our founding fathers.
It is self-evident that, Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi has created a niche for himself in reference to his avalanche of contributions to IJESA-LAND.
Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyin is a great man. Happy birthday to you sir.
