BIRTHDAY FELICITATION TO PETER ORIAKHI AT 50

BIRTHDAY FELICITATION TO PETER ORIAKHI AT 50

Today I would like to send hearty cheers to a great and dynamic friend and brother with a genuine moral compass of human values, Godly living and empathetic collectivism, Mr Peter Oriakhi, a decent gentleman.

Like Mark Twain famously wrote, the two most important days of our lives are the day we are born and the day we find out why. For this Noble soul, it could be said that not only is today special for him being his day of birth but also because it marks the advent of the chronicle of a man devoid of common human flaws and his long journey towards the search of his purpose and place in this world.

He is a great and mild soul shaped into such charismatic christian and Godly fluorescence by default; a trustworthy and loyal friend whose loyalty comes without a price tag. His decency bears no recession and his uprightness harbours no ill will.

Even as another adventure-filled year awaits you, I join millions of your friends and family to welcome it by celebrating your person with pleasantries, pageantry, pomp and splendor. Like Oscar Wilde wrote, “To live is the rarest thing in the world”. Taking a cue from those magical yet powerful words, from my deepest of heart I celebrate both the years in your life and the life in your years.

My journey so far through life has availed me the opportunity of meeting men and having to actually know them; I have seen the worst of humanity and the height of depravity, but I would say that since I knew you as a brother, acting upon the pull of either a centrifugal or centripetal force, I have had a recourse towards having to believe that there may yet be hope for mankind with your likes within the human collective. The human race is made better and brighter by your presence.

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “if we are related we shall meet”, and because we are related we have met through many pages of human interactions, endeavors, enterprises, association and rendezvous. Being an indefatigable gentleman is a virtue with which I have come to identify you. Your humility and humaneness astonish me and everyone that has come your way. I hope to continuously meet your likes in my life’s journey.

You are indeed a jolly good fellow. On this auspicious occasion of your birth anniversary, it is my prayer that your existence here on earth will continuously put smiles on the faces of humanity as always. May you never stumble and may you never fall. Whatever you ask, may you receive, whatever you seek, may you find. May every door you knock on be opened even as I pray God almighty to grant you longevity!.

On this special day of your life my brother and friend, I wish you a blissful birthday. You have lived as a true born again christian which your lifestyle bears testament of; a lifestyle devoid of the hypocrisy which characterizes the current humanity. May this day mark a new positive phase in your life even as I pray God almighty to grant you more prosperous years ahead.

Cheers, Happy Birthday and Many Happy Happy Returns of the day.

Enjoy it! Towering Regards,

Chief Owen Chamberlain Obaseki, JP Otaifoh of Uromim.
