Oba Yekini Elegushi today, celebrates his very gorgeous queen with a heart-melting birthday message.
The Oba of the sprawling high brow Ikate Kingdom is known to be a very spiritual monarch who frequently has a word of prayer for himself, family and kingdom.
On the 10th of November, he took to his Instagram page to extol the Olori as a wonderful wife and doting mother.
In his usual manner, it was a perfect occasion for him to say a prayer for the queen that he says he celebrates everyday.
Oba Elegushi prayed that she gets the most beautiful things that life has to offer, more happiness and fulfilment.
In his words:
“Great is God’s faithfulness; because they are new every morning”. My Dear wife, I celebrate you today, like I do everyday. And on this special day of your birthday anniversary, i want to wish you the most beautiful things life has got to offer. I wish you more happiness and fulfilment as you continue to radiate in Allah’s blessings. Thank you for being a wonderful wife and dotting mother. Have the best birthday ever. I love you.”
A few days before the Queen’s birthday, Oba Elegushi posted a pray for Muslim Ummah.
“O, Lord! Make the Ummah of Islam brilliant once more! Concede Your leniency upon our saints who have yielded their lives for the survival and tranquillity of our country and nation! Give tolerance to their relatives and our country! Give us to be among the individuals who grasp and safeguard the moral qualities the saints gone stood for. Jumma Mubarak”
Using an analogy by Shakespeare, the monarch described what happiness meant to him and vanity of a poorly led life:
“In the words of Williams Shakespeare, my Crown is in my heart, not on my head, not decked with diamonds, and Indian stones:
Nor to be seen: my crown is called ‘Content’. A crown that few people enjoy.
“It is not what have or who you are that makes you happy; it is a by-product of a life well-lived.”
