When people of exceptional ideas meet, they roll faster and advance their environment. I value interaction and chose wisely. As a unionists, I use the position to connect, mostly to those who add merit to my existence. Though, I enjoy the best of my deal with God but He uses human. My knowledge of life has taught me that at a point in life, people you meet will either be a lesson or blessing.
Relationship of great men is more productive at leadership stage. It is the juncture of apt understanding.
The unrepentant progressive, promoter of pure, unadulterated monarchy; a monarch of ideas, the Oluwo of Iwoland, HIM Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has proclivity for discovering resources. a man whose mental agility could not stagnate the jet generation. He is endeared to people of ideas to drive positive change.
Everyday, I meet people and people meet me. I assess and convoke the qualified. Such is one of the attributes I learnt from the Paramount Ruler of Iwoland. There is always no perfect detection except very few discovered on spiritual ground. Such is the story of Dele Momodu, honoured with the Aare Title by the commander of deities, the Oluwo of Iwoland.
Venerating Dele Momodu with Aare was a perfect choice and at the most appropriate time. Oluwo has graciously suffered to ensure Iwo is projected in the world map. He has sacrificed and even called names.
“The market I sell is Iwo. I ensure quality goods are produced and marketed to the world. People may call me names but I don’t care since my goods are sold and profit recorded. The profit is the greatness of Iwoland. Today, Iwo is not the same. We have corrected our history and put it in proper perspective. Distorted narratives and misconceptions are challenged. Iwo is no doubt an household name. What I need is to assemble people of ideas with vision to run the land together and achieve faster and better,” Oluwo will say.
The fame of Oluwo and the ovation of Dele Momodu are two elements that catapult desired goals. What most rich men are, is combined in the duo. According to a Yoruba adage, “O n wa owo lo, o pade iyi Lona, to ba RI owo na tan, kilo Fe fi Ra” meaning “You are after money and you met fame, when you have the money, what will you use it for.” The accompanied strength will galvanize unmatched recognition and propel attention to investors and developers.
Dele Momodu is a force in every sector of Nigeria. He moves mountain, stones the sky to clip and de-flight evil birds in governance. He is a local, national and international figure. He knows people and they know him. He respects all and they respect him too. He built himself and God credited his efforts. He leaves a mark in the heart of all strata of men. At the peak of COVID-19 pandemic, Dele Momodu designed an app and gave monetary palliatives to millions of Nigerians across the 36 states of Nigeria.
Oluwo is a community servant and developer. His joy is not limited to physical liberation, but also to emancipation from the poverty of the mind. It is a rare coagulation meant to circumvent the clog in the wheel of Iwo and her people. The well attended installation of Dele Momodu as the Aare and his wife, Yeye Aare, is a sign of a bright, better and promising tomorrow.
When a people move in leadership echelon, their kingdom accelerates. The reasonable too must not be left behind. I’m with the great minds to move faster and better the glory of the home of parrot. We move, you move. The two minds command what money can’t buy. Oluwo has the peak of earthly seat, Dele Momodu is not tired of power. He has the rudiment of Aare Title translated to presidency.
