I thought about doing the blanket text/bbm broadcast to appreciate those that wished me a Happy birthday yesterday but then it just seemed ordinary...like something everybody does. So I decided to do this.
Before I go further, I'd love to thank God for taking me through the few years I've spent on earth... I thank my parents and my brother for always being there and putting up with me inspite of my propensity to be naughty at times.
This done, in the rest of this post, I'd be thanking everyone who took time out to text and call me on my birthday. So can call this a thank you post - a sort of appreciation letter.
First up is my best friend, girlfriend and consultant, Ayoade Yetunde. What more can I say? Thank you for Friday, Wednesday, Monday, Saturday and always.
Then I'd thank her mum (Mrs. Ayoade) and sister (Seki) for also taking time out to wish me a happy birthday. I must admit, I was completely caught off guard by your call and I'm saying a really big thank you for the prayers.
Next up is Tommie - yes, Akibo Tomi Morounfoluwa (self styled GARRI-MAYOR)...she sent me a voice note and I thought it was sweet to have someone sing me a birthday song. Of course I responded with a voice note of my own. Thank you Tommie.
I also want to appreciate Mr. Ope Olugasa, the MD of GIT LIMITED. Thank you sir for taking time out of your busy schedule to wish this small town boy a happy birthday.
Not forgetting Adediji Adeyinka, Gabriel Fawehinmi, Mr Adeyemi Salau and Adesanya Tosin. Thanks guys for making me feel loved. I really appreciate the calls and IMs.
A big shoutout goes to Soyemi Seyifunmi and Oduwole Tosin...Thanks for the call, prayers and goodwill messages. May the good Lord repay you in multiple folds.
Azubike Ijeamaka....my "office big sis", thanks for the call, the prayers and overall goodwill.
I also want to thank my former boss And business partner, Mr Fashina Abayomi Taiwo for remembering me on my birthday and taking time out of his busy schedule to give me a call.
A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Inioluwa Odiete, and the members of staff of GIT LIMITED...thanks for remembering me and wishing me well on my birthday. May the Lord bless you all with the same blessings you sowed into my life.
I want to thank my lovely cousin, Afolabi Joy for not forgetting my birthday...even though I'm guilty of forgetting her last 2 birthdays. Don't worry, I won't forget any more.
I also want everybody to thank my 7 year old cousin, Omonayajo Jesutofunmi for actually getting me a birthday gift. It was arguably the only gift I got and I liked it.
Not forgetting my "long time friend", Awolusi Temilade...thanks for taking time out to call me on my birthday. Please note, that deal you proposed won't fly o...you can't collect those three things from me at once, you've got to choose one.
Pidan Oluwafunmike, thanks for the call and messages... but remember what I told you, I'm reducing the quantity of the stuff I promised you as "punishment".
I've also got to thank Oladosu Victor, Oduntan Balogun, Akinremi Dapo and Dada Joseph for not forgetting me on my birthday. And pappy, you'd still tell me what bad dream you had that made you call me professor peller.
A big shoutout goes out to the following people for their IM messages: Adesina Olaitan, Allen Oluwafemi, Michael Lawrence, Osanyin Kehinde, Nnamaka Gilbert, Eyeh Michael, Bassey Christian, Olamijulo Raymond, Keyomah Hope, Olamide, Niyi Idowu, Gbede Babatunde, Oladiji Oladayo, Brimmo Samuel, Mr. Tope Olufiranye and Onasile Anu for their goodwill messages on my birthday.
Just so I'm thorough, I'd also like to thank my banks for their automated messages... Gtbank, EcoBank, Zenith Bank and FCMB.
If you called or texted me and I left out your name, you most likely called the wrong number :D.....thanks all the same. I really appreciate the love, affection and thoughtfulness that y'all have shown.
Gracias.
