MOHAMMED BABANGIDA TURNS 40

Spread the love
Mohammad Babangida, the first son of the most talked about Nigerian in the history of Nigeria, the indomitable General IBB turned 40 on Thursday , February 2, 2012.
He was his ebullient self, in his urbane outlook, with numerous friends coming around to share the glory of the day with him and members of his family.
As Chairman and Chief Executive of several blue-chip organizations, Mohammed has continued to acquire expertise that is preparing him for future

And like the prodigy of the Babangida Empire, he has gained knowledge through parental guidance and counseling right from his formative years up till this present time. Like a disciplined child whose respect for humanity is as profound as the religion which nurtures him, Mohammad is a delight any day when one is privileged to interact with him.
Chairman Moha as we generously refer to him is not one that is carried away with the rarefied life that he grew up to appreciate. He carries no air around him and ever ready to give listening ears to those he comes across whether at the home front or at the work place. The way and manner he interacts with his numerous staff, creating the leadership edge to achieve set goals and objectives, has greatly impacted on his numerous achievements as a young entrepreneur.
As an employer of labour with over 5,000 staff spread across the country, Mohammad surely knows the syntax of good leadership and how to deploy his wealth of experience to manage this population of staff. Given to dilettante details to unknot seemingly unassailable issues, Mohammad’s introspection is self assuring and essentially useful in helping him to understand human behaviourism. Nurtured with an eye for the specifics, Mohammad is not given to frivolities.
He cuts the image of a man who understands his mission in life and he is driving that mission without allowing vicissitudes of life to distract him. For a man of his age, with a sound education, a good home, and profound upbringing, he is surely at home with the flip side of life, little wonder he does not allow his status as the son of a former president to get around him. His numerous friends could attest to this fact.
Mohammad’s love for Polo sport is legendary. Having invested so much in the sport, he has also represented the country in several international Polo competitions and has been able to make an impression about the development of this wonderful sport. The attainment of age 40, the age of maturity and wisdom is a landmark achievement that will remain green in his memory.
In the typical Babangida fashion, the ceremony was lowly marked with prayers in the morning and guests were hosted later in the evening to a small dinner. When asked what his greatest achievement in life has been, he simply enthused; “the fact that I am being alive to celebrate this age”. That is the beginning of wisdom. Happy birthday, my Chairman. Many happy returns.
