Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode has penned down emotional birthday
message for her first daughter, Oluwafolakemi, as she adds another year on
Wednesday.
He said his daughter, since the day she was born in London
had brought him joy.
“Happy birthday to my first fruit & my beautiful &
blessed daughter Oluwafolakemi. Ever since the day you were born, all those
years ago at Wellington Hospital, St. John’s Wood in London, you have done
nothing but brought me joy. I remember that day vividly & how I took you
from your mother’s arms for the very first time & hugged & kissed you.
You are indeed my pride.
“Through thick & thin you have been as constant as the
northern star: never complaining, always hopeful, always strong & ever so
kind, gentle, caring, compassionate, profound, thoughtful & utterly
brilliant.
“You have never let me down & I know that you never
will. You have always kept the flag flying & even where & when I
faltered you guided me, comforted me & helped me to stand again.
“Throughout your beautiful & blessed life you never
complained, you never murmured but you always gave thanks to God & had
faith in Him regardless of the circumstances. I remember when you were at
Durham many years ago, the same University that your GREAT GREAT grandfather
attended. I was so proud of you,” he said.
Fani-Kayode added: “You took your beauty & grace from
your mother Saratu but you took your strength & stoicism from me. Your star
continues to shine & today you are no longer my little girl anymore but a
grown, beautiful & accomplished lady & an illustrious & respected
UK-based lawyer who is doing great things. I expected no less.
”You are the first of nine beautiful children that the Lord
has blessed me with & I am ever so proud of your achievements just as your
mother and your siblings are. I love you, miss you & think of you every day
now that you live outside of Africa. So far from home, yet so close to our
hearts. Continue to shine my darling and continue to do us proud.
“God bless your day my love, live long & prosper and
know that we cherish & adore you. I thank God for you & for the
strength, hope & joy that you have given me ever since the day you were
born.
You have many more years to come and be rest assured that
the Lord will continue to bless, lead, prosper, defend, protect and guide you.
Stay safe, stay strong & be happy my darling & once again, Happy
birthday!”
