Attaining the diamond age is not a mean feat. More gratifying is the fact that a prominent son of the soil who has put Odo-Ijesha on the global map with his exploits is a year older today.
Professor Ilesanmi is not just a scholar but of international repute; he is not just lettered, he is a Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Letters (NAL).
His influence reverberates across the world, transcending geography, moulding lives and making impacts in the faraway United States of America.
It is enthusing to roll out the drums in celebration of our renowned Don, a distinguished Professor of Religion at the Wake Forest University, North Carolina, the US.
Today’s celebrant is a shining star and leading light to the younger generation
I pray the spirit of our forebears guide and protect you as you do Odo-Ijesa proud daily.
On behalf of my people, I, Oba Olufemi Olayinka, rejoice with Professor Simeon Olusegun Ilesanmi as he joins the sexagenarian club.
Happy birthday, Prof.
