It was a beautiful gathering put together to celebrate and honour Pa Dickson Adekunle Awode, as he turned 80. The celebrant, no doubt, was full of joy and in high spirit, as family, friends and acquaintances came in to rejoice with him.

The classy, well-attended soiree couldn’t have been more befitting, as nothing was in short supply on Sunday, December 3 at The Grandeur Place on Billingsway in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.

In appreciation of all the good works of Pa Awode, his son and Chief Executive of Chemstar Manufacturing Company, makers of Finecoat and Shield Paints, Apostle Emmanuel Aderemi Awode, spared no costs to give his father a birthday to remember.

It is the wish of every man to live to a ripe old age, and for Pa Awode, it was indeed a wish come true and a day to remember, as he witnessed his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren celebrating a life of a patriarch blessed and favoured to have accomplished so much.

His son, Aderemi, pulled out all stops and rolled out the drums in appreciating the presence of God in the life of a man who nurtured him to become who he is today and who has been a treasure in his life, for which he had remained ever grateful.
