Toyin Kolade Goes Poetic for Hubby

Who would have thought that popular socialite and businesswoman, Iyalaje Toyin Kolade, is a poet of sorts? Indeed, who would have imagined that she had worshipped at the temple of Venus, the Greek god of love, so much so that she knows the spirit and letter of love this much?

But the birthday of her husband, who is also a customs top shot, Kayode Kola, has brought out this hitherto hidden side of her when he celebrated his birthday last Tuesday.

In her poetic tribute entitled ‘An Enchanting String of Words to my Better Half on His Birthday,’ Kolade described her husband as a good man.

 “My better half; words fail me if I am to describe how good of a man you are,” she wrote.  “It’s explainable. I can also say it’s abstract because I can feel it and perhaps beat the law of abstract; I can also see it. Even those whose path has crossed yours can also testify to how good you are and I am sure all the good you have done over the years has taken you this far and it will continue to take you beyond your imagination.”

She concluded by wishing him good health and more years as they “both grow older and enjoy what we have laboured for. Our children will do good things in our lifetime and your health will not fail you.”
