I join the family, friends and associates of Chief Afe Babalola, CON, OFR, SAN, all over the world, to congratulate and celebrate him on his 60th call to bar anniversary celebration. This phenomenal achievement belongs to a man of unusual stature and excellence.

Chief Afe Babalola CON, OFR, SAN have had three streams of significant lifetime achievements. First as an indisputable giant of the legal profession in Nigeria. Second, as an educator par excellence with the conspicuous attestation of the nationally and globally esteemed Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, ABUAD; and a ten million pounds endowment at kings college, University of London for the benefit of African scholars. Third, as a pioneering and unrivalled socioeconomic and industrial developer of Ekiti state.

Above all, he is an uncommon Nigerian role model and moral beacon who have taught us the virtue that it is possible to attain great wealth without being compromised by the Nigerian corruption syndrome.

I thank and cherish you for the great reception and affection you lavished on me when I visited you during my presidential campaign stop at Ado Ekiti. Yours is indeed a most compelling demonstration of grass to riches narrative.

At 93 years and still going strong, coupled with your peerless lifetime accomplishments, including the blessing of a great family life, I readily conclude that God has favoured you. May you continue to be a testimony of professional excellence, private and public charity and philanthropy, industry, drive, success, and a man after God's heart. -PO

Peter Obi only celebrates greatness when and wherever he sees one, but how him( Peter Obi) celebrating greatness irritates some people still beats my imagination up to this point.

When you're great, you're great, and only great people will celebrate and identify with you.

It's very easy to criticize what is beyond your reach, reason why I laugh whenever I see some uncouth kids on here, throw tantrums at Obi whenever he's being celebrated or is celebrating others' greatness.

He was subjected to the most vicious calumny, but he never complained and never sued.

Just watch how some people will deviate from celebrating this great man to attacking Peter Obi.

Chief Afe Babalola is one of the very few sensible yorubas alive.

Long may he live!
