Many have misgivings why today should be celeberated as Nigeria marks it's 53rd Anniversary.

Not me.

Today! I celebrate the greatest man I've ever known.
Today! I celebrate My Hero
Today! I celebrate My Icon
Today! I celebrate My Father
Today! I celebrate the biggest celebrity that I know of.

I'm your Number 1 fan and I can't thank you enough for all you have and continue to do for me.
I am proud to be called your son.

You've been my mentor and as I learn more and more I realise that you have always known more.
Thanks for letting me learn it on my own.

Thanks for letting M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ be my own man, even though you я the man I wanted to be.

You have been my inspiration.
May all your dreams come true.
Thanks for making M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ a part of your dreams.

I have so much t̶̲̥̅̊ø̲ say.
But I fear I'd spam Mark Zuckerberg's site.
In as much as I'v commented my reserve, I reserve my comments(extra)

Lastly, this day is not special only to me, but to all those people whose lives you have touched with your kindness and generosity.

On behalf of my siblings and my mum(U̶̲̥̅̊ knw they tell M̶̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ things), I want to tell you that we love you so much.

Happy Birthday Daddy
Happy Birthday 'General'
Happy Birthday Elder(Chief) Barr. Dr. Harrison Otu-Ekong Ataide

Long live You
Long Live Me
Long Live Us(family)
Long Live Nigeria.

#‎for as long as I live I'll always have ample reasons t̶̲̥̅̊ø̲ celebrate October 1

OYO is your case,
