Yetunde became a child of fortune and benefactor to many of her relatives. Every one of them expressed deep gratitude and appreciates the kind guest extended by the Ibadan Billionaire. They prayed heartedly for him:
'' We prayed that your life continue to sparkle like diamond in good health ''
Definitely for Yetunde, destiny worked in her favour without any limitation. The merciful God answered her prayers in different dimensions despite the background. The change in status became highly inevitable really!
Nothing was hidden. Money in the pocket, bank account or wallets brings confident, honour, prestige and rest of mind from the hustles of life!
The taste of honey is different from that of sugar. Seniority is not limited to mere talking or show-off, but in the display of substances as proved by the Ibadan billionaire to Yetunde and her extended family.
As if that was not enough, Yetunde was given a portable exotic spot-car for crushing at the campus. This was to make life more comfortable and stress free due to her condition. She was over pampered during the pregnancy period. It was too much and great. Yetunde was a success-not only in business, but in life! She grew, waxed great and became very great, so much so that the students at the university envied him.
Her progress was very amusing and strange to her peers, family members and the relatives.
At a point while alone inside her room Yetunde uttered out in appreciation saying:
''I slowly came to understand and realised that the opportunities that came my way were coming to me from God. I had to do by sheer labour what others do by brain power. But even so, the success came from God doing things for me that no human could do by labour or by brains''
If not for the time frame and Yetunde's academic engagements, Segun's father was fully ready to send her abroad for the delivery.
When money begins to talk nobody is ready to listen to the voice of a miser and the talkative again!
The music from the mouth of a miser is usually a mere noise when the rich-man is parading wealth!
'' A party gives laughter, and wine gives happiness, but money gives everything. Money talks even those with little cash can never kept it shut from talking aloud.''
Few months after, Yetunde delivered in one of the high-class private hospitals in Ibadan. She gave birth to a fine bouncing baby boy without any hassles. The delivery was safe and smooth without any emergence!
The child was welcome. Yetunde was also in a good condition after the child birth. The hand of God was made manifest during the delivery. In fact, two specialist doctors and a senior mid-wife were arranged and well paid to handle the delivery process being a first-timer.
Yetunde was highly grateful to God for being conceived and delivered safely without any turmoil. It made her long for peace and appreciates the more, roles played by her father-in-law who was highly supportive. She was determined to seek for peace by all means and at any cost.
Everyone is a friend to a new baby in Yoruba land. People far and near rejoiced with the politician who was lucky to have a grand-son to reckon with in life. What a blessing that must be celebrated! Nothing should be taken for granted.
The birth of the child by Yetunde automatically turned the status of Segun's parents to grandpa and grandma in the community. You cannot be called by such a name if your off springs have not reproduced. Such an experience is attainable only by the grace of God and should not be waved off without appreciation to the creator who made it possible.
The parents were thankful to God for the favour. Segun's father has the habit of praising God all the time. It was gathered that he was fond of shouting a minimum of One thousand Halleluyah every day for the past forty years ago.
In some political circles, they tagged him with the alias ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' We all have our secrets and ways of pleasing the creator.
''Do not thank me but God that deserved our praises ''
was is common saying all the time his responding to anyone trying to show him gratitude for his generosity that are usually alarming, outrageous and often beyond expectation.
Meeting the Ibadan Billionaire is just meeting a kind and cheerful generous civilian.
''If ones daughter is beautiful, there is no crime in making the declaration'' says an adage.
The ''Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan'' was a good man of notes!
In the hall of fame, if guests were to be invited physically; Segun's father would sit comfortable on the front row. He is not famed for flattering people and politicians.
Instead, he has made his mark in speaking the truth to power! The ace-politician was convinced, he can grind his axe intently without minding whose ox is gored as long as he is on the side of the common people.
According to the clear understanding of life with the Ibadan based billionaire:
''God gave me my talents and wealth to share with others; He gave me love to make life easy for others; He gave me treasure to share with the needy.''
He often offers these prayers loudly and boldly when addressing his ardent followers in politics:
''Lord, please open my eyes that I may see the sick, the hungry, the needy and the blind all around me''
Segun's father believed that in life today, coping is becoming more and more difficult. Resources are overstretched and more and more help is needed to be offered to the dire masses. To him, success isn't about how much money you make; it's about the difference you make in the people's lives.
''Can you put a smile on the faces of some people by lending a helping hand?'' a common question from the Billionaire of note.
In reality, it is the empty drum that makes the loudest noise. The best way to get favour from God is to give abundantly out of what God Almighty has given you. The more you give, the more He will replenish your pocket. This is the greatest reward of Christmas or life! Sharing makes life to be better!
Think of a candle-it works silently providing light for others to see. And in the process of its work, consumes itself, burning brightly and consistently until it is no more!
His generosity was not resisted or limited to his faith alone as a Christian with Anglican background.
What a highly wealthy man from Ibadan city; with an exemplary vision, passion and unmatched courage who have impacted thousands of lives!
Apart from his erecting of big church buildings and mission houses for various churches and ministries at different locations, and the Christian Movements across the nation and beyond!
He equally supported the Muslim Movement in the construction an ultra-modern mosque with an Islamic school along Olodo-Iwo Express Road, Ibadan.
Recently, he was responsible for the donation of an ultra modern health centre to two communities in Ona-Ara local Government Area.
Yearly, have on records; he sponsors not less than twelve people for Holy pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Mecca for various religious activities.
In addition, to paying monthly allowances to numerous Pastors, Prophets, Imams and other clergy on his payroll!
He was a prominent investor and cheerful giver in the kingdom of God on earth. He owns and established a movement since thirty years ago named: Faith Partnership Programme for Gospel Investments International [FPPGII]; an NGO with a foundation.
Also, he acquired a vast land with a mountain top for prayers called Halleluyah Land at Ajia area. Also known as: The International Prayer Warriors Centre! [IPWC]
He was found of numerous good works towards the house of God and humanity without any discrimination, sentiment or fanatics. This rare attitude fetched him good name and rich reputation within and outside the city of Ibadan. He holds chieftaincy titles and awards including an honorary Doctorate Degree in Humanity from Trinity University, Lagos Nigeria!
In business, he excels with distinction as an oil magnate. His approach to business too was amazing and a class of its own. The workers in most of his business outfits are well paid and lavishly treated with several fringe benefits and packages.
Also, he has petrol filling stations located in several places across the length and girth of Nigeria. He enjoys good patronage and repute from the masses for selling with distinction and ultimate super services without any compromise.
''Winners Never Cheat; Cheaters Never Win!'' is the slogan of his business outfit.
To the Ibadan based Billionaire politician, nothing is too small to thank God for and celebrate with the people. It is not in his attitude to cover the goodness of God in his entire life. The man was too generous and gentle to a fault.
No man from Ibadan can beat Segun's father when it comes to giving and sharing with guests and the masses at large. He was never afraid of spending money on projects that can uplift the common man from the bondage of poverty and wretchedness.
No other billionaires are fit to compete with Segun's father when it comes to the display of wealth with sense and glamour! He has the fear of God. His place was the endeavour and rally point for on-coming politicians and growing up entrepreneurs in those days.
Surprisingly, Baba Halleluyah Olowo Ibadan was never sort of cash to donate or give out as support. He was never dried of money as if he had an ocean of it. They more he gave to the populace in form of palliative or charity; the more he was divinely blessed from both local and foreign sources unknown to several of his colleagues and business associates.
Nobody detected his source of wealth despite the magnitude. He was not even accused of corruption when he served as a Federal Minister in the country. But a closed x-ray of the billionaire politician shows and projected a man endowed with divined wealth insights and great native wisdom that was not common which contributed to his huge wealth in the society. It was gathered that he had some foreign investments in South African, UK, USA, Canada and South Korea with an oil well in Dubai, UAE!
Today in our society, not all rights are welcome or accepted by the people. But, the forthright ability to do right and fulfil the will of God.
The Billionaire of Ibadan care less about the various allegations, rumour and negative comments and critics from members of the opponent political parties and contender groups, his adversaries, detractors and persecutors who kept misinterpreting his generous works of charity for other motives or reasons. They misunderstood his kind gestures.
Instead for those enemies of progress to appreciate and encourage him earnestly for the excellent works of charity, he was being persecuted.
Nevertheless, Segun's father never for a minute felt bad about it. He understood wisely that just because you are good and doing the right thing doesn't mean everybody is going to be cheering you or swerve from your path; they might even call you evil in spite of your good works. '' Maintain your composure. Refuse to change!''-advised the Ibadan Billionaire politician.
According to Segun's father in one of his notable messages:
'' The earth is full of goodness from the Lord! There's more than enough food and other things for every human being on the surface of the earth to enjoy and keep.
There is more than enough wealth in this world;
There is more than enough grace in this noble world;
There is more than enough power and ability in this world;
He said, ''My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and insights.'' Today; all the blessings of God upon the earth are yours to have and enjoy. So, don't settle for less! ''
To his enemies, foes and critics, the flare Ajorosun man would say:
'' Never give more time to critic than you would give to a friend. Critics are spectators not players. There has never been a monument built for a critic. Critical folks are frustrated and disappointed people, disillusioned people, and unfocused people. They are hurting inside. They build their life trying to destroy others.'' ''Move a distance away from them! '' -advised the great Ibadan Billionaire politician of note.
