Dear Waje,
Happy 50th Birthday to an extraordinary individual who has been more than just a friend to me. For over 35 years, you’ve played the role of an elder brother, mentoring and guiding me with wisdom beyond compare. Though our roots spring from different soils—yours in Ukpo, Anambra State, and mine in Ekuku Agbor, Delta State—our bond transcends tribal lines, proving that true brotherhood knows no boundaries.
Your objectivity and rational approach to life have been invaluable. The life skills you imparted, the countless hours spent brainstorming, and our imaginative dreams in our small corner of Ekuku Agbor have all contributed to shaping the realities we witness today. Your influence is etched into every success I celebrate.
Your ability to lead with empathy and understanding has always inspired me, making you one of the few people to whom I can never say no. Your impact on my life is immeasurable, and as you celebrate this milestone birthday, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being the invaluable friend and brother you are.
Here’s to you, Nnayelugo, on your 50th birthday—may this new chapter be filled with the same joy, love, and wisdom you have shared so generously with those around you. Cheers to the next 50 years and beyond!
With all my love and appreciation,
Ewere Okonta is my name
