Mama Leadway, Dame Matilda Ibidun Odukale: The hidden and Unseen hands and Home Front of Baba Leadway, Sir Hassan Olusola Odukale.

Celebrating Adeyinka Patrick Olumide-Fusika, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), on his 60th birthday anniversary is about celebrating a life dedicated to ‘grace, legacy, and divine purpose.’ I am celebrating a dear brother, a friend and my personal consultant, a life that has successfully blended professional integrity with faithful service, ‘a man of vast experience, selfless leadership, and indomitable character.’ Born on the 10th day of April 1966, Olumide-Fusika had his early education at St. John’s Primary School and at Oke’badan High School, both in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

AN EVANGELICAL Patriarch, VERY REV OKON ANTAI EKERENDU @ 90: A “LIVING SERMON” OF GOD’S GRACE.

Ninety years ago, the world saw the birth of a man whose quiet strength sparked evangelism in the Methodist Church Nigeria. I give God the glory for every sunrise we’ve shared, every silent lesson in resilience, and every moment.

Over nine decades, his life set an example for the present and future generations as a “living sermon” of God’s grace. Very Rev Okon’s laughter fills rooms. His wisdom guides many of us daily....
