Dear Amb. Dotun Oyeniyi, I just wanted to say that I’m glad I got to know you and am thankful for it every day of the year!
You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met. All your hard work is unbelievable and it motivates me to do better every single day.
You never judge someone if they are poor or have low self-esteem. You always treat them with respect and love.
Wishing you tons of happiness and blessings on your birthday. May your cake be as sweet as you and your gifts bring you smiles.
Blessed birthday to you dear brother and friend!
On a lighter mood …
You made my (this year’s) visit to England a very memorable one. From Canning Town to Natural History Museum at Cromwell Road, South Kensington to Buckingham Palace then to your house where I met your amiable wife and kids.
I cannot forget in an hurry the royal and king like reception your family gave me; the sumptuous meal with assorted meats and fish coupled with finest wine …. hmmmn!
You are just amazing!

From the wall of Ila-Orangun Facts and Figures:
Dr. Olu Adebowale described you as an ebullient Barrister he’s yet to meet.
To Dr. Lai Oparinde, “By all standards, you’re a very good friend – reliable and dependable,
A friend that understands his friends more,
A personality that exemplifies goodness – integrity, honestly, kindness, generosity, moral courage and wisdom,
A man of valour and great courage”
Ejemu Paul Ogunrinade sees you as a ray of hope and voice for the voiceless for the entire Igbominaland.
To LSA, you are a legend and patriot. I never knew you are a Prince until when Wale Badmus called you one (smile).
