I had heard, and seen Dele Momodu, popularly known as Bob Dee, in person long before I met him. This is because I lived at Moshood Abiola Crescent, off Town Street, Ikeja, Lagos State. However, when I finally met him 16 years ago, it was another case of love at first sight.
My life have never been the same, knowing full well how I wished to have him close to me, and in my corner for a billion and one reasons.
What baffles me most is his humility and selflessness, and an eye to search out greatness, zest to run with what he believes in, no matter the distractions, most importantly with the natural resource that he is. His most important gift that makes him a natural resource is ACCESS, BOB DEE, HAS GLOBAL ACCESS TO WHO EVER, WHERE EVER AND WHAT EVER.
He has got this far purely because he leveraged on his gift of access with such huge integrity and character that it is totally impossible to hinder his abilities.
Over the years, I have been his younger brother (he is my mentor by the way), and he has been my friend and personal person.
One would wonder how he does his things. The answer is not farfetched; he obeys that inner voice to never make an enemy. Even if you choose to make him an enemy, you will never find reason tangible enough to take such a decision. You will have no choice but to love him.
I have, in no small way, benefitted from your love and kindness. When I pick up my phone and call you to appear anywhere in the world, you find time out of no time, even when it is only a 4-days notice (haha, God is Great).
Bob Dee, even the angels in heaven are shouting hurray! hurray!! hurray!!! Congratulations to you with blessings from the Almighty. You have shown and taught me so much. The world have not seen enough of you; your assignment have just started.
