Today is the birthday of the man who gave me life. A man whose sacrifices and love have shaped the person I am today.
My siblings and I are who we are today because of you sir.
I remember when I was still small and tender , in primary school. You had a bicycle then, and you would always carry me to and from school. There are so many beautiful memories to share, but time would fail me.
When I got into secondary school, you were still there for me. I remember how you always gave me N100 for my transportation to and from school when we were living at Ernmaco Area in Kafanchan and I was attending Anglican Junior Seminary.
I remember that some days, even N50 to give me was a challenge , but you never stopped making sure I didn't have to trek to school, even if it meant giving me your last card. I would cry, but you would always encourage me, telling me it was only for a short time and that everything would be fine.
Fast-forward to my National Diploma days... wow! The feeding money, the school fees, the countless calls just for you to send me money so I could sustain myself in school .Not once did you complain. Instead, you kept telling me that the greatest thing you could do for me in life was to give me a quality education.
You watched me finish my ND and proceed to my HND, yet you never gave up on me. When El-Rufai increased our school fees from N25,000 to N100,000 , you didn't ask me to drop out. Instead, you paid the fees despite the many other responsibilities on your shoulders, and you never complained. You did the same for my immediate younger brother without complaining.
Because of your sacrifices sir, we vowed to make you proud. We didn't just graduate ;we graduated well. My brother and I both graduated with Upper Credit in our ND, and we also graduated with Upper Credit in our HND. Beyond that,God has opened doors and made ways for us, and today we are who we are because of His grace and your sacrifices.
Sir, I just want you to know that we see you, we value you , and we love you. We will never fold our hands and watch you suffer. Never. And may God never forgive us if we ever think of neglecting all the sacrifices you made for us.
We will celebrate you for the rest of your life here on earth because you are worth celebrating sir, and every blessing God has placed in our lives is also a testimony of your sacrifices.
I really can't help but cry. 😭
Happy Birthday, Champion... Happy Birthday to a true warrior. I love you, Dad. ❤️🎉
Your first-fruit The Finished Man In Love 💕😘
