Celebrating a Beacon Angel, Jumoke Akinjide on her Birthday by Isiaka Kehinde

Still evolving at her very best

"If you inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are a leader". John Quincy Adams.

Some people come and leave certain impression, too feeble, too little, like a bubbling soap or a movie cameo, but she has come to sparkle the world with effinescent mind and create a lasting  impression. She is a beacon angel that illuminates the path of others. Thanks for always being there for us.

At over six decades, she is inching closer to her dreams, she sees life as a journey and inspite of all odds, she is enjoying every mile and every step comes at the right time. A birthday is not to ask for your number of years but to know how many cheerleaders you have raised. She is a typical leader of leaders.

You believe so much in supreme good and once said, quoting Althessaur "only the production of new knowledge keeps old knowledge alive".

Nothing gladdens her heart than to think ahead of the future. Both in politics and her chosen legal profession, she has blazed an exemplary  trail for others coming behind and she never rest on her oars.

Through her foundation, the OAF, she has put smiles on many sunken faces and brightens the hopes of many hopeless. She is not relenting in her efforts to raise several hopes and better lots of lives. She has helped many people as a public office holder and like a glowing moon her return is always desired.

Today being your birthday, I bring you an extra share of what makes you happy and pray for the fulfillment of your dreams. You are a lighthouse that brightens the lights of others, may your own path receive a divine light that will coruseate your own way. May your missions on earth be accomplished. You don't look frumpy at your age, you are a year older, but looking far younger, what a perfect combination of nature and nuture.

Join us in celebrating the rare leader, the Iya yYeye of Ona Ara land.

Happy Birthday ma.
