A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY WISH TO THE OSIKINAKPA
From the depths of time, where the voices of ancient gods echo through the ages, the story of a soul born under the auspicious eyes of the celestial bodies that govern Gbaramatu and Ogulagha kingdoms, blessed with the might of Atlas and the compassion of Hercules. Today, we celebrate the birthday of this modern-day atlas, a mortal being who carries the burdens of responsibility with celestial grace.
The sun, in its eternal dance, casts its golden rays upon this special day, a symbol of the wisdom and leadership that flows through his veins. His path, like that of the ancient heroes, is marked by the ascent to ever-greater heights, leaving in their wake a trail of inspiration that ignites the souls of those who witness it.
This paragon of excellence, this prodigy of Ijaw and Niger Dellta prosperity vision overlord, High Chief Engr. Kestin Pondi, the Ebebenemowei-general of the Niger Delta, one of the heroes of pondi-centric leadership, who raises the flag of ijaw well-being with the mighty energy of his dream, a new generation of a prestigious Ijaw leader with prosperous vision, the water bodies, and maritime security expert, the potentate of Tantita Security Services, an unparralled philanthropist, a technical defender and promoter of the Nigerian economy, a great promoter of culture and youth empowerment and a keeper of brothers across tribe and geography who is the ideal big brother of the Ijaw and Niger Delta houses, who embodies the very essence of selfless service. His heart, a wellspring of compassion and empathy, beats in rhythm with the pulse of humanity, echoing the noble spirit of the benevolent gods.
May the blessings of Egbesu, the great god of the Ijaw nation, and all the ancient deities shower down upon this extraordinary soul, bringing prosperity, favour, and endless wisdom. And as Proverbs 10:22 proclaims, may the Lord’s blessing bring wealth, a testimony that awaits the abundance a life dedicated to the greater good.
Here’s to another year of visionary leadership, a year filled with the boundless generosity of spirit and legendary commitment to the well-being of all. May this birthday be a celebration of a life lived in service, a life worthy of the ancient legends that inspired it. I wish you longlife, good health and eternal prosperity.
