Prince Samuel Adedoyin:  A Glittering Light in the Business Firmament at 88

Of what God’s goodness and kindness would he not appreciate?

 Tomorrow, Monday, December 4, the billionaire businessman who sits atop many conglomerates, Prince Samuel Adedoyin, will have more than one reason to be joyous, apart from the grace to survive the mysteries of the days and nights in the past year.

When the chief rises from his ornate bed to witness the dawn of the new beautiful day, his heart would be filled with gratitude to God for the grace to mark another birthday in sound health. 

Society Watch gathered that the renowned business magnate would celebrate his birthday tomorrow. As a man who continually appreciates the goodness of God in his life, and loves to count his blessings, he would be throwing his door open at his palatial palace in Victoria Island for another birthday soiree that is expected to be grand as usual.

Also, the man who has been contributing heavily to the growth of Nigeria’s economy for over 60 years would be enjoying a downpour of goodwill messages from children, relatives, friends, close associates as well as admirers. The story of the Kwara State-born octogenarian is definitely the true definition of a man born under the proverbial lucky star.

From a very humble and illiterate background, he weathered the storm to attain the height which now endears him to many. Today, many will be grateful to him for opening the gateways of businesses they are now threading. And generations to come will surely appreciate this man who laid the good path that they are now following.

The mogul is a rare gem who realised and understood his dreams quite early in life. He followed it religiously and refused to sell his birthright for a bowl of porridge. Even in the midst of difficulties, he knows who he is and refuses to hide under anybody’s shadow. This uncommon strength of faith and dedication have earned him respect and adoration while his advice and contribution are well respected in the business world.   

Chief Adedoyin, for many decades, has served as a business advisor and consultant to many other businessmen. This included governments of several nations who had found him worthy as a result of his huge experience in sectors of the economy.

 Also, his philanthropic gesture is out of this world. So, also is his unwavering acts of generosity, sharing love as a sacred devotion and giving back to society, especially his hometown, Agbamu in Kwara State, where he has single-handedly sponsored the education of thousands of school children for many years.

Little wonder his home in Nigeria and abroad is always a beehive of activities. This explains perhaps why family and friends are more than ready to celebrate him tomorrow.
