There cannot be a celebratory staleness of a man that has positively impacted his country with the instrumentality of his legal practice. Apparently, in acknowledgement of his contributions to the national development, President Muhammadu Buhari recently conferred the honor of the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic on him.
Clearly, he is a successful man. However, success has a burden. Success has its disadvantages. People like success, but some elements however hate a successful person. Maybe because it is said that success attracts jealousy and envy.
To dress him in his full robes, he is regal, resplendent, rich and righteous, always conducting himself with a reputation to protect. He is a man of refreshing effervescent candour, not given to pretenses and frivolities. Clearly, this Chairman of Body of Benchers occupies a conspicuous space in the pantheon of patriots imbued with compassion and courage.
Recently too, a gigantic legal multi-purpose hall was commissioned in Abuja by President Buhari. Chief Olanipekun, along with many other lawyers was said to have contributed in no small measure to the actualization of the dream! But how can a single person do all of these without attracting attack, envy and jealousy of some of his colleagues who probably feel intimidated? They have been attacking him for being too audacious and successful. They always attempt to dent his image.
The like of Chief Olanipekun are rare to come by. God has a way of bringing special people like this once in a while. To this end, his eponymous figure, his awesome myth and meteoric greatness deserve celebration. To mark his 71st birthday anniversary therefore, let this quintessential gentleman who is very affectionate and generous, friendly and fearless rise wherever he is, reading this tribute, as we sing for him, 71 hymns from the Anglican Hymn book.
