My Congratulatory Message to Kabiyesi Alaiyeluwa Samuel Oluyemisi Falae the former Secretary to the Federal Military Government of Nigeria under President Ibrahim Babangida.
Pa Olaofe Kumuyi of Ijero was the first Ifa Oracler to accurately predict all of what you have been in your epic and mysterious life, I must remind you.
“O Jo bi uno, o gba bi Etu” the man had said in making his prediction when he said he saw a crown in your head more than 50 years ago at a time not even yourself had believed the man was telling the truth and that you could ever be crowned a King, although you had close affinity with the Elemo Adedipe Dynasty of Akure and with Deji Odundun, all on your father side.
Today you are in deed wearing a crown as a royal father who, because of your antecedents and sheer influence in the Government of Nigeria, could be promoted to a first class Oba, if you are not already one, and despite the size and the population of your tiny Ilu Abo domain in Akure North Local Government.
I am documenting this information as a Historian and as somebody very close to you for much of our adult life in Nigeria.
I celebrate you on your birthday and on your elevation to a crown- wearing royal father in our own neck of the woods in Ilu Abo in Akure the state Capital of Ondo State.
I wish you many happy returns of your special day in good health and in everlasting joy and peace of mind.
I regret that Pa Olaofe Kumuyi did not long enough to see all of his fatalistic predictions on you come thru as the Nostradamus of our time in Akure
The man had died within ten years of his making his predictions about you but God Almighty had made me an eye witness of what happened and when it happened for a reason.
That is why I am writing about it today in conveying this congratulatory message to you, so the younger generation can learn something from your meteoric life and History as a distinguished Akure son and elder statesman and Bureaucrat and politician in Nigeria.
All the best, Sir.
