Today (Monday, March 3, 2025), we raise our voices in praise,
For a man whose deeds illuminate many people’s days.
Alhaji (Chief) Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, IBD,
A beacon of hope, a light for all to see.
Fifty-five years of grace untold,
A journey of honour, rich and bold.
From humble roots to towering heights,
He stands a pillar, shining bright.
A business icon, a visionary mind.
Through storms and trials, he forged a way,
IBD IMPEX, a name that sways.
With wisdom vast and foresight keen,
A leader rare, so sharp and clean.
A master of trade, a king of deals,
Turning visions into steel.
His empire built with toil and grit,
Yet in his heart, kindness sits.
The silent giver, the gentle soul.
No fanfare, no boastful speech,
Yet his kindness all can reach.
A giver pure, without display,
Lifting lives in his quiet way.
To the orphan, the widow, the youth in need,
He answers swiftly with noble deed.
A humble heart, a guiding hand,
A silent force across the land.
A life of honor, a legacy unfolds.
IBD, the name resounds,
Not just in business, but where love abounds.
A father to many, a friend to all,
A towering oak, steadfast and tall.
Today, we chant, today, we cheer,
For a man we hold so dear.
May your years be long, your joy be true,
May fortune and grace forever find you.
Happy 55th Birthday, IBD!
May your kindness return tenfold,
May your story forever be told.
With prayers deep and wishes bright,
We celebrate you in love and light.
Long live Alhaji (Chief) Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende,
The Oluomo of Yewaland!
Long live the legacy of IBD!
Congratulations Oyiiii!
