HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MOST DISTINGUISHED FATHER, MENTOR AND TEACHER –  PROFESSOR JESSE ABIODUN OTEGBAYO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOST DISTINGUISHED FATHER , MENTOR AND TEACHER –  PROFESSOR JESSE ABIODUN OTEGBAYO

Sir, we join your numerous well-wishers and admirers in celebrating your achievement-studded life as you turn a year older today.

On this occasion of your birthday celebration, I wish you many more years of happiness, brilliant performance, excellent achievement, great success, and complete fulfillment in life.
May the light of the Almighty God continually shine on you, your household, and direct you in everything you do.

At the risk of mild rebuke, I would like to end this birthday wish by reflecting on your life and come to a convincing conclusion that you are a genius par excellence, energetic, persevering, patient, industrious, truthful, painstaking, meticulous, and a little mad!

Your academic achievement and administrative acumen give credence to this assertion.

Perhaps, Aristotle had men of your ilk in mind when he said, “There was never a great genius without a tincture of madness,” and I think you are a little mad. You are always passionate about everything you do, and successes are always yours. So, madness pays!

I pray that the good God will continue to keep you in good health and vitality, and grant you more blessings that will endure for hundreds of generations in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

Sir, please accept my hearty felicitations and the renewed assurances of my highest consideration and esteem always.

Ire o!
