HRM Oba (Engr.) Enoch Ademola Akinyemi, Owa-Ooye of Imesi-Ile
TRIBUTE TO THE DISTINGUISHED ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI
BY HIS HRM, OBA ( ENGR) ENOCH ADEMOLA AKINYEMI, OYOYO 11,
THE OWA -OOYE OF IMESI-ILE.
Seven decades of human existence is a rare gift. That ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI is seventy years today, is by God’s grace. Let’s give glory to God Almighty. From the Robert Green’s perspective. I can also conclude that; ‘reputation is the cornerstone of power’.
Through reputation one can intimidate and win the battles of life by my assessment of the personality we’re celebrating today, the distinguished ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI is an icon, with a robust intimidating reputation.Reputation itself cannot be bought with money, it is psychologically attitudinal. Charity, they say begins at home.
This gentleman has displayed a practical demonstration of genuine unification of the entire IJESA subethnic group of the ‘Yoruba nation’ in the west of Nigeria. This is evident in his various dreamed programs on health, education, trade and commerce which traverse the whole Ijesa land and not just a section. These are people- oriented programs embarked upon through his community philanthropy organization, ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI Foundation (AYFF).
For me this is a great idea nurtured by a great mind. From the available data on ground, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi’s economic fortunes are vision and passion driven by his belief that there is nothing like impossibility in his own policy success must be achieved no matter what it takes.
His ability to establish many business organizations located across this nation and even the continent of Africa, where several people get their means of livelihood is a proof of a man with rare intelligence in human and resources management.
Thirty-three (33) years ago, he founded the Supreme Management and Training Consultancy Services while Ibadan Business School was established fourteen (14) years ago investigation has shown and proved that ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI has directed his energy towards the liberation and upliftment of common people from the grass to become heroes and heroines to be reckoned with in the society.
Though not a politician, but many young ones who are politically ambitious have been supported and sponsored by him to realize their ambitions. Consequent upon this, he’s a human developer. He’s a talented, gifted and selfless individual who has touched many lives. Though, his generosity should not be mistaken for stupidity.
It merely suggests that an unspent money is useless or a waste especially after the owner has passed on. Inter-continental ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI is a global man of wide range connection. He has travelled and visited one hundred eight (108) countries across the globe.
Personally, what we’re celebrating today is beyond counting years and cutting a beautifully dressed cake; it is a celebration of a quintessential and visionary leader a reformer, cornerstone, an idealist a philanthropist, a man with deep sense of human reformer, a change agent, a selfless individual, a passionate man of possibility, a trailblazer, a bridge-builder whose thoughts and Ideas tower above parochialism and sectional chauvinism, a fountain of knowledge but humble in character, a shining star that will never go dim, a committed, motivational and inspirational personality worthy to be celebrated.
I want to believe that his recent move to help build a New AND united IJESA, with abundant prosperity, sustainability, growth and security where everybody will live peacefully in harmony and liberty, suggests or presuppose a race towards achieving or actalzing a homogenous IJESA state.
Mark my words, he’s a charismatic leader whose mental ability to project into the future is uncommon.
THE BALOGUN OF IJEBUJESA. THE BABA OBA OF IWARAJA IJESA. ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI THE GREAT! Congratulations!
HRM, OWA-OOYE OF IMESI-ILE,
