Her words, “To God be the glory that we are celebrating my husband’s Silver Jubilee today. I can’t describe the depth of my love for my husband. But I know one thing; his love resides in my heart.
“My husband is everything to me. He cares for my entire life. I don’t know why God has chosen to give me someone that cherishes and accepts me for what I am.
“I have perfectly understood his body language. I know when he is going to approve any proposals and when he would not.
“I respect my husband the way I genuinely love him. I don’t feel ashamed to kneel down for him even in the presence of over 1,000 guests that assembled at my 50th birthday. Whenever he takes offence, I quickly go down on my knees to apologize.”
She stated further, “When I asked him how he would want his 60thbirthday celebrated, he said “in a low key”, citing Covid-19 as a barrier. That’s him, but I knew he deserves more than low key celebration.
“Meanwhile, I didn’t know how to go about it. So, I started inviting our friends at home and abroad. But because of the nature of my husband, no one among those invited rejected the invitation even those outside Nigeria, and they all came from London to grace the occasion.
“Surprisingly, today also marked 35years we’ve been living as husband and wife. And I never regret being a wife to him.
“My prayer is that God continues to protect him for me. Both of us will live long so as to fully enjoy each other to the glory of Allah. May God not allow any intruder to come in between us.”

“My father is second to none; When I was young, may be two years old, I remember that day when daddy was taking me to school (Blossom Nursery School, Lagos) on motorcycle. He was riding motorbike then. He sat me in the front. And I felt the link between a caring father and his son who has just started his career.
“Since then, he consciously drives us towards success.”
AbdulFatai continued, “Daddy is always ten miles ahead. He knows when to move and when to standstill. Infact, he knows how to go around situation such that it will result into success.

MY BROTHER IS A GOD-FEARING, HUMBLE, NOISELESS PHILANTHROPIST – Pastor Abiodun

“No Parakoyi title holder in the history of our town – Ilora, has been committed to our lineage, but Alhaji Waidi Haruna connects all of us, both at home and in the Diaspora to achieve the success.
“I will say something this morning and I don’t care if he would take offense; the secret behind the cordial relationship that exists among our extended family today is due to his wife – Alhaja Memunat’s relentless efforts.
Abiodun stated further, “I noticed that if Wadoye realized that something must be done, he makes sure it happened, though after that he might not answer your calls in the next two years. But he would have done that thing you requested from him.
“Secondly, Alhaji is a type that everybody wants to meet. And once he noticed that, he quickly makes himself available at that time; thereafter, unavailable.
Alhaja, I thank you. I appreciate you. I have now realized that it’s only a good wife that stand-in for her husband so as to cover up the man’s inadequacies.
And when a woman can fill that gap, she has given the man long life because if a wife refuses to make herself available in such situations, it creates problems in the family.
“In the past, some people believed Alhaja has been using a force on Wadoye, but with time, it became clear to us all that it wasn’t charm. It was because Alhaja volunteered herself to fill in the gap, so that she can adequately compliment her husband to become a perfect man.
“Alhaji, I now pray God to give you good health and long life. As your fathers had lived hundred years, so shall you outlive them. We will all be present to celebrate your 100 years on earth.
“My sweetheart as I used to call Alhaja, I pray that your evening shall be prosperous. You shall be blessed with sound health.
“As for your children, May they not derail from the doctrine of Islam you handed over to them. The Quliawusuyou taught them will continue to guide them.
“Infact, I thank God that they remained their original persons in the Western world where their peers had indulged in drugs and other vices. If they had taken after their colleagues in immorality and lawlessness, we wouldn’t be able to gather here this morning.
“I pray that the spirit of God and Islam will continue to lead every member of this family aright.”
