I want to wish a gentleman, my friend, my brother, the Head Eagle 🦅, my eldest son, the prince of the Apoki dynasty, Dr. Mimi Apoki, a very happy 40th birthday 🎉🎂.
I remember exactly 40 years ago, on the 23rd of January at 2:35 a.m., at No. 24 Okpu-Umobo Road, at Grandel Clinic, when you were born 👶🏽. You were such a beautiful baby that when your mother went to the market, women would touch her and touch their chests, wishing to give birth to a child like you 💛.
I remember the first day I took you to nursery school 🏫. You were part of the first set of the Living Word Group of Schools, Umuatako.
I remember when I took you to secondary school—you were just 9 years old 📚.
I remember when I took you to the university 🎓—and I remember that day, it rained 🌧️.
I remember when I took you to the airport ✈️ to go to Europe to fulfill your dream of becoming a European-trained medical doctor 🩺.
I remember coming to Romania in 2012 for your graduation ceremony 🇷🇴🎓.
You were the first in our household to go to Europe, and I remember how you later took your younger ones there 🤝.
I remember meeting you in Germany when you came to pick me up from the airport 🇩🇪.
I remember when I first met your wife in Lünen, a beautiful woman 💕.
I remember when I carried your daughter—a beautiful baby 👶🏽💖.
Happy birthday to you, gentleman. You are truly a gentle man.
I have never seen you struggle for anything.
I have never seen you fight anyone.
I have never seen you physically quarrel with anyone.
I thank God that you are not like your father 😄—you are a very peaceful man 🕊️.
I am glad that you have a heart of steel 💪🏽 and that you are not easily swayed by people.
Remember, our family is founded on biblical living 📖.
Remember, our family is founded on the Book—study to show yourself approved 📚.
Remember, our family is founded on business 💼.
Remember, our family is founded on bonding together 🤝.
You are the Head Eagle 🦅. Continue with this legacy.
I am so proud that I have a brother, a friend, and a son like you ❤️.
Happy 40th birthday, Dr. Mimi Apoki 🎉🎂.
