BIRTHDAY: CELF Fellow Shower Encomiums On Lawal Olohungbebe

By ISIAQ FASILAT OMOWUMI

To him who didn't abandon us

Sky is for the moon

As fish is for the river 

Just like soil is for the ground

Then praise should be for those who are to be praised. 

He, who needs to be appreciated 

For the great achievement, 

He, who sacrifices himself for other, 

He, who builds the future for the hopeless, 

He, who never belittle the upcoming ones, 

He, who never discourage people's goals. 

Who helped me found who I'm really,

He, who wakes me up from my slumber, 

He who rebuilt the future which was already falling apart for me, 

He rescued me from going astray, 

He, who let me know I have a bright future, 

He, who gave me hope that coming out from poor background doesn't mean the end of the road, 

He, who cleared the way for me to follow the path, 

He gave me hope when I thought I am hopeless, 

He, who makes me feel worthy, 

He, who taught me what is expected of me, 

He, who is more than a boss, but never refer himself as such for once.  

Doing special favors

In a dozen of different ways

Looking out for others

With no thought 

Of thanks or praise

Treating us like a family,

Setting good examples too, 

These things make a wonderful leader

And they all apply to you!



This day is special and it's just for you

To tell how much we appreciate you, 

We cannot tell how happy we are

To have the boss the way you are, 

We have someone who listens to us, 

We have someone who guides us through, 

The problems could have never been simple

If you had not given us confidence to fight them through

You have accepted us the way we are

You have made us perform extra ordinary better than our colleagues

This day is special and it's just for you

To tell how much we appreciate you

We cannot tell how happy we are 

To have the boss the way you are

I know that when you lead, we succeed,

Because you know what to do,

To be a Boss, takes a special breed,

I guess you know that too. 

It takes confidence and a steady hand,

To control a successful operation,

The ability to listen and understand, 

When those you lead need calibration. 

Being a Boss is more than supervision,

It requires common-sense indeed,

And we thank you for that vision,

Because when you lead we succeed. 

One of your fellows here (ISIAQ FASILAT OMOWUMI) is wishing you a very happy birthday sir! 

You deserve more than best wishes sir! 

Wishing you long life and prosperity sir. 

Happy Birthday! Mr.  LAWAL OLALEKAN OLOHUNGBEBE
