    When the Yoruba's are happy about what is happening to their child,they call Him/Her by the full name.
    I hope I will be permitted to do just that because it is the Golden Jubilee of one of our illustrious daughters.
    I am not sure which one it is therefore I will put the two together because I am so happy today.
    Happy birthday to a woman of substance Ade/Olujoke Silva and many happy returns of the day.
    May you always have and be blessed with all the good things that life has to offer. May your labour of love never be in vain. May you stay for ever young.
    Once again,happy birthday to you on this great occasion of yours.
