They referred to his lifestyle as worthy of emulation, submitting that the society would be better if more Nigerians emulate him.

In this lover’s Day special, we present a perspective of opinions concerning Ambassasor Ajadi, the man of many parts, his love for humanity, and willingness to help others in need. We beleive it will motivate others to follow suit.

Ajadi’s Humanitarianism Is Rare

I remember when my husband had a chocking financial challenge last year that put us in heavy debt, it was Ambassasor Ajadi that actually came to our aid, and that was after our attempts elsewhere failed.

We just needed a loan to offset the obligations, and lo and behold, after asking a few questions, he agreed to support us.

I was personally shocked to see that he quickly transferred the money to my husband’s account

I cannot describe how I felt that day because it bailed us out.

We couldn’t even finish paying back the money because he said we should not bother again; he wrote off the balance. His humanitarianism is rare

Ajadi Is A Worthy Bridge Builder

Ambassador Ajadi is a bridge builder, who has succeeded in closing the gap between ethnic boundaries, via his philanthropic gestures

As a worthy school son, he has come to my aid in times of need. I pray God to strengthen him the more financially and otherwise to do what will benefit and uplift mankind in general.

Ajadi’s lifestyle is worthy of emulation hence I urge other public-spirited fellows to borrow a leaf from him, show love and compassion to the less-privileged in the society.

-Mr Michael Osuji, HOD, Mass Communication, NIJ

His Love For Mankind Is Rare

Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi is somebody I would like to talk about anytime because he is a rare kind of human being. I have met a lot of people, politicians, entrepreneurs but Ajadi is different. He is what you could call a philanthropist par excellence, a consummate leader and a devoted family man.

His love for mankind is rare and he is an epitome of what God requires of us, to love others as we love ourselves.

As the world celebrates Lover’s Day today, Ajadi’s life is a reminder that we can love genuinely and help make our society better.

If We Have More Nigerians Like Him, There Will Be Less Beggars On The Streets

He has helped a lot people of which I am one. He is someone that knows how to read other people’s mind to understand the kind of pain that they are having and the kind of help that they need. He does not look at tribe, but reaches out to all, big or small; he is good in answering everybody. He has shown us a good character to follow not minding the language, colour or height. In short, he qualifies to answer a friend who answers your call when you are in need.

Ajadi is jovial and usually smiling. his help is not to be compared. I wish that he is already on top in terms of the leadership of the country to affect the lives of the people.

He helps people to get employment, help people to stand – I have also heard about him helping people concerning accommodation. So, if somebody like that becomes the leader at state or national level he will do more for Nigerians. If other Nigerians who are in the position, can assist the way he is doing, I don’t think we will still have beggars. Even as the world celebrates Valentine’s Day, Ajadi should know that he is cherished.

We Want People Like Ajadi In Government

What I want to say about Ajadi is that he is a very good man. The Bible says that givers never lack and that we brought nothing into this world and we would take nothing away; he is that kind of person, always willing to assist other people

I just pray for more doors to open for him; for God to make a way for him in the areas where he needs it most.

We want people like Ajaid in government; he will run an open door government.

And since Val is all about love, we remember somebody like that who has the love of humanity at heart, and pray that God should confer him with more blessings.

He Is A Good Example How Valentine’s Day Should Be Celebrated

One thing I would like to say about Ambassador Ajadi is that he loves humanity; he loves everyone without discrimination, no matter the religion, and he is a cheerful giver.

He shows his belief that God created all of us the same way, but opportunity is just what has made us different. So, he believes that being more privileged should not make me not to come closer to those who are not. He comes to your level and relates with you like that, which is good.

So, at Valentine Day February 14, Lovers Day , I will say that Ajadi is a wonderful example of how it should be celebrated. He is one of the philanthropists that God has been using to bless people. I will say to him, continue your good works, and my prayer, is, may God continue to be with you.

-Taiwo Adebayo, Ogba

Very Humble Despite His Achievements

I want to say that this man has been very supportive of us here. When I say supportive, I mean the way he has constantly remembered us every year.

He has the milk of human kindness running inside him and he has been extending it to people.

Ajadi is humble despite his achievements. And one thing I admire about him is his philanthropic gesture. I have been privileged to hear people talk about him. While with us here, he was usually helping some students to pay their school fees. He is just a man with a large heart.

Even as we mark St Valentine’s Day, Lovers’ Day February 14, I want to tell him, to keep up the good works. My prayer is that God will continue to uplift him, higher in his endeavour. I thank him for his love for NIJ.

Esther Eke, Students Affairs Officer

Olufemi Ajadi is a man of the people, one that feels the concern of other people. He is someone that if you have any need, call on him, he is going to support. He is a man who does good without looking back, what Yoruba people will call, “Afu ni, ma wobe. (He gives without looking back)

He is an epitome of love, a family man, who does not joke with his family. And because February 14 is about love and giving, I have to give kudos to the man. He is a good example that others can follow on Valentine Day

-Gbemile Oluwatosin, Odo Otin Ilesa

People Should Emulate Ajadi On St Valentine’s Day

The Ajadi I know is a man that has compassion for the poor and needy. He is a giver to a fault. Ajadi is the type of person that you do not need to tell that you are in need before he reaches out to you

He looks at you psychologically and you don’t have to tell him but he knows. He always comes at the nick of time, when you need that thing the most. I will say the milk of human kindness flows from his veins.

And those that God has blessed should not keep all to themselves; they are blessed to bless others. At Valentine’s Day, they should emulate Ajadi. It is not that he has everything, but he gives, so God will give him the more. The Bible says that the poor will always be with us, so those who have shouldn’t close their hearts.

Ajadi’s giving is worthy of emulation especially at this season of Valentine Day, the season of love.

He Goes To Any Length To Be Of Assistance

It is an understatement to say that Ambassador Ajadi Oguntoyinbo is a giver. The only problem he will not help you to solve is the one he is not aware of. Once he knows about it, he goes any length to assist.

He is a people’s builder, not a selfish human being, but available to help you achieve that dream. He is a fantastic human being that people want around: philanthropist, kind person and friendly; Femi Ajadi is a very humble person.

He is not somebody that would help and start shouting about it on social media. He is a peace maker who tries all possible best to resolve issues.

In short Nigeria would be better if we have people like him in important positions. If that happens, we would need about 8 months for the Japa syndrome to die a natural death. The masses would feel the impact of good governance.

– Fatokun Olumuyiwa, Monatan Ibadan

He signifies Humaneness

Ajadi is an epitome of a beautiful soul. There is no time you call on him that he does not respond sometimes, he does beyond your expectation, Many good things he is doing, we don’t know about them, because he does not go about exposing them.

He signifies humanity. Others should develop the habit of helping others just like Ajadi does

Many times, he gives and you don’t even see it on social media. On this Val’s Day, we remember someone with such a good heart,

Ime umoren

I would like to say that he is writing his name on the sands of time that will not be washed away., particularly in the area of humanitarian and kind gestures. When I say humanitarian I mean selfless, he is not giving with an intention to get back, he is selfless. What he is doing is worthy of emulation.

He has become an example to others in society even as the world celebrates lovers’ day today
