Kabiyesi Appreciates Omo Ipoti-Ekiti Home and Abroad for the success of Ale Erebe 2017 Cutural Night



2017 Ale Erebe cultural celebration has come and gone. Glory be to Almighty God that what started like a child play eight years ago has now be institutionalized and internationalized. First of all, on 18th December, 2017, God removed the obstacle that could have hampered the celebration. Glory be to His mighty name. That has now become history. I wish to use this medium to congratulate all the stakeholders and the participants that graciously graced the programme. People outside Ipoti, people from the surrounding towns, the invited guests like Chief Prof. Babatope Alo, the Otunba Gbobaniyi of Ipoti Kingdom, Murphy ray, the guest artist, Olupoti council of Chiefs, Security personnels and host of others too numerous to mention. Since maturity started displaying itself in the programme about two years ago, precisely from 2016 edition, all vices associated with it, such as bear bottle clubbing have disappeared. I salute the youths for the demonstration of good ethical behaviours that Ipoti is known for. 2017's edition has really proved that Ipoti youths have come of age. Adura mi ni wipe: omode a dagba, a dogbo. E fowo pari, e feriki jobi, e ni te, e ni ti lawujo akegbe yin o. Awon agba naa , o ni dagba iya o. E ni pepe iya o. Agba a dale o. This year 2018 is going to be a prosperous year in all ramifications for all of us. Ogbeni Lai Oke, the Chairman, organizing committee, you are blessed. Omo ti erin ba bi, erin na lo ma jo. Demonstration of family traits. Kudos to you and your team members. I say congratulations to all of us for maintaining peace throughout. I left around 4:00am. Ere lanfomo ayo se. Ale erebe ti wa ngberege jige. Oluwa a sowa ju amodun o. Ori ade ati awon onile a duro tiwa o. Ire o.

Happy Birthday to one of as @ Ipotiheritageblogspot.com

To God be the glory for giving me another golden opportunity to witness this day, 29th December, 2017 which happens to be my birthday. Therefore, the whole world celebrates and wish me happy birthday today. My little experience of life, so far, shows that when disaster or misfortune occurs, one should take consolation in the wording and serenity of this favourite prayer as guide at all times. The prayer reads as follows:
God, give me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
As we all experience the vicissitude of life – wealth today and virtually pennilessness tomorrow, sorrows, illness, and even anxiety about where the day’s meal might come from – let us remember that external things need not destroy our hope; true happiness does not lie in transient things, nor in things provided by human beings. It can only be found in God. I appreciate Almighty God, He is closer to me than I realize, watching every move I make on the chessboard of life.
I have been guided by these aphorisms that have helped me to achieve success. The first has only four words “It can be done”. It is the affirmation of my faith in the Almighty God that, with Him, all things are possible. Consequently, when at first I try to do something and do not succeed, I do not give up; I always try, try and try again until I succeed. The second aphorism is credited to Abraham Lincoln. It reads thus:
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
So, a combination of the two aphorisms emphasizes the need to combine one’s faith in God with hard work in order to succeed in life.
Thank you for taking your time to wish me happy birthday.
