For ace humorist, Olugbenga Isaac Adeyinka who added a year to his years yesterday, it was another time for the comedy merchant to be grateful to his Creator for seeing him this far but there was more to that day as friends, associates and family members came to his new office in Opebi, Lagos to felicitate with the GCON (Grand Comedian of Nigeria).
What was meant to be a little get-together for close friends and associates, soon became a big event when more relatives, friends and associates came around. Among the people that thronged the venue were Tee A, Omobaba, Foluke Daramola and Husband, Lepacious Bose, Howie T, Alariwo, Biodun Kupoluyi of E-247 magazine, Sola Fajobi (Solar), Seun Oloketuyi of Best of Nollywood, Femi Davies, Capital Femi, Isaac Geralds, Laffup, Chris of Big Brother Africa, journalists from all walks of life, captains of industry and others.
One of the highlights of the event was the cutting of the cake which saw the celebrant pose with many of the friends and associates as he cut the cake. The cake cutting session was conducted by comedian Tee A and Omobaba number one.
When asked how he felt when he saw the crowd, Gbenga Adeyinka said ‘’ It would be stating the obvious that I am very happy, seeing all this people here to celebrate with me is overwhelming, I thank the Almighty God for making this happen for me. Thank you for your love and all you did. God bless, keep and preserve you, I am eternally grateful’’.
