WORDSMITH DIIPO FAGUNWA PENS GLOWING TRIBUTES FOR EPE PRINCE, ADEBAYO OSIBERU AT 70
HE CLIMBS THE 7TH FLOOR IN STYLE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ỌMỌ ỌBA ADÉBÁYỌ̀ Ọ̀ṢÍBẸ̀RÙ ỌSIBERU, THE MAN OF INDUSTRY THAT WAXES IN PANACHE AND INTEGRITY
I shout your oríkì from your mother-side, Àwọ̀ná with a voice of honour, my cousin of worth and speak your name Ọmọ Ọba Adébáyọ Ọ̀ṣíbẹ̀rù with pride as you become a septuagenarian of grace today.
You are a pastor in the Church of Decency and a Chapter in the Book of Accomplishments. Son of Ọṣībẹ̀rù is a testament in the Gospel of Integrity and a Blueblood that smiles to bring joy to the face of his beholders. You mesmerise Saints that come to your presence with your calm and panache. You know nothing but goodness and warm up to anyone in your ambience like the waters of comfort. O yes! you dazzle friends and foes with intelligence oozing out of a medulla that basks in sagacity.
Ọmọ Màmá Gbọ́njúbọ́lá is a geezer that does not have failure in his dictionary. I salute you my cousin for you a collosus amongst men that achieve goals like a walk in the park; your pedigree is filled with achievers; your relations are seasoned with greatness to the ends of the earth. Ọkọ Adébímpé is cocooned with friends that are higher than the mountains of Asia; his associates are mightier than the swords of knights across every field in the horison. Adébáyọ̀’s CV is waft with accolades. Ẹ̄gbọ́n Ọba is a chemical engineer and a Catechism in productivity and industry. Àbúrò Ìyálóde reels on high in manufacturing like thunder; his efforts boost the national grill like the baskets of Solomon. The only thing Ọmọ Bàbá Adébọ́lâ Ọ̀ṣíbẹ̀rù cannot manufacture is human body parts. The geezer can turn àgbo jẹ̀dí-jẹ̀dí to tea; if you lost your libido, he can convert ọ̀pá ẹ̀yìn to coffee but if you try àbúrò Olúrẹ̀mí, the King of Boys’ Muringa, you will never be friends with Bournvita again. For Indeed Adébáyọ̀ is a taste of honour in the carvir of thoroughness.
Adébáyọ̀ is married to Princess Adébímpé, the Lagos nobility with a Phd not only in education but love of her husband. The love of the geezer flows through Adébímpé’s veins like magic in the blood of Gogardie. Princess Adébímpé smiles to everyone like the blessings of the Holy Communion wherever she sees them; a minute with the beauty is like the grace of the Magnificat; the voice of this Dame makes you praise the Lord for the wonders of humanity in womanhood. The princess chaperons with her husband a home of grace, children of purpose in a family of worth; their union is diamond in an environment of rectitude.
My family and I congratulate you my darling cousin, Prince Adébáyọ̀ Ọṣíbẹ̀rù, your family and the Ọṣíbẹ̀rù Royal Household of Ẹ̀pẹ̀ Kingdom as you set your pace amongst in the class of septuagenarians in style.

We bless God for your life my wonderful cousin. We shout Alleluia! on your behalf Ọmọ Ọba Adébáyọ Ọ̀ṣíbẹ̀rù for the grace of three scores and ten years that only the favoured can achieve and wish you continuing goodness, God’s blessings and good health in your long life of prosperity. Amen
