I Would Have Been A Carpenter If Not For Awo- Pastor Tunde Bakare by moshoodable: 8:51pm On Nov 17, 2015 |
The Presiding Pastor of Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos State, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Tuesday, said that the legacies of Papa Obafemi Awolowo are not for sale for politicians. Bakare stated this during a short exhortation at a 'Service of Thanksgiving: Praise and Worship,' held at the Ikenne home of the Awolowos in honour of the matriarch of the Awolowo's dynasty, Chief (Mrs) HID Awolowo. The service was attended by the wife of the vice-president, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo; wife of the governor of Ogun State, Mrs. Funso Amosun; Pastor of Trinity Church, Lagos, Ituah Ighodalo; Sir Olaniwun Ajayi, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Diocesan Bishop of Remoland, The Right Reverend Olusina Fape, among other dignitaries. Bakare said he would have been a carpenter if not for the free education policy of Chief Awolowo when he was the Premier of the Western region. "If not for Awolowo's free education, I won't be here tonight. I'm standing on the legacy of Awolowo. This legacy is not for sale. That legacy cannot be bought by men," Bakare said. He urged the family to uphold the legacies of both Papa and Mama for posterity sake. Pastor Bakare, who spoke on the theme: 'The making of a God's Jewels,' taking his text from Malachi 3 vs 16-18, described Chief Awolowo as a heroine of an uncommon faith, a paragon of beauty and a woman of courage. He noted that Mrs Awolowo had gone through different challenges in life and lived to the ripe age because of her steadfastness and determination to overcome difficult times. He added that she merited being called a 'jewel of inestimable value' because she feared God and served her Maker diligently till the very end. The cleric, who stated that Mrs Awolowo "fought a good fight and finished her course," urged the family to continue to sustain her legacies. Pastor Bakare said that her life ended well. The first Bible reading at the service was read by Ambassador Olatokunbo Awolowo Dosumu, while the second was read by Funke Awolowo. There were songs of ministrations by different groups which included Evangelist Funmi Aragbaiye, Trinity Church choir, Blossom and Blessed and the Chigozie and the Zion Voices, to the delight of the gathering. Giving the vote of thanks, Reverend Omotola Oyediran appreciated all the ministers of God for upholding the families with prayers and promised that the Awolowo's legacies would be sustained. www.tribuneonlineng.com/i-would-have-been-a-carpenter-if-not-for-awo-says-pastor-tunde-bakare |

later one mofo will be comparing tinubu to awolowo. As far am consigned awo is the greatest leader the yoruba tribe ever had, the rest of them are just noise makers who want to enrich theirselves and family, they hav'nt done anything that the yorubas will benefit directly or indirectly. |

Chief Awo's legacies remained unmatched in the political history of Nigeria. If not for the rebellion of the rabble-rouser, Chief S.L Akintola, the rate at which the Western Region was advancing economically, only God knows where we (Southwest) would have been by now. Mama, continue rest well in the bossom of thy Lord and Saviour. |

Jesus was a son of a carpenter see nothing wrong to be a carpenter. whatever will be will be if God wants him(Pastor Bakare) to be a pastor he'll surely be a pastor, makes me remember Apostle Ayo Babalola was a tractor driver before he got his calling and became a great vessel unto honour. |
