Published

There is the popular saying that ‘kindness is like a snow that beautifies everything it covers.

 

For Oando Group Chief Executive, Jubril Adewale Tinubu, CON, he is one man that has the milk of kindness literally running in his veins. He does this without seeking attention. He believes in surreptitiously touching the lives of the less privileged without making a noise about it. He abhors publicity and quietly gives back to humanity without making any noise of it.

 

 

 

Those who benefitted from his large heart would not stop to sing his praises to high heaven, as they continue to describe him as a beacon of hope and kindness.

 

 

 

The top player in Oil and gas is a man of proven immense wealth. He is a lover of humanity and an embodiment of philanthropy, whose milk of human kindness gushes like a fountain, and he believes that everyone deserves a sense of belonging and a chance to succeed in life irrespective of the circumstances surrounding his/her background.

 

 

 

The entrepreneur and philanthropist par excellence is blessed with a deep pocket, a large heart and even deeper is his passion for humanity who loves to see others succeed. He has an innate belief that behind every success story are others helping to make it happen.

 

 

 

The unassuming businessman has always made it a point of duty annually to lend support and give Muslim faithful a shoulder to lean on during the Ramadan season, while he never spares any cost to ensure he puts a smile on the faces of the people.

 

He has thus become a bellwether in the acts of generosity to these set of people. He sees sharing love with them as a sacred devotion.

 

 

 

As gathered by Society Watch, last Sunday, March 17, 2024, the trained lawyer once again showcased his sense of magnanimity at the annual late Alhaji Kafaru Oluwole Tinubu Memorial Ramadan lecture, organised by the family.

 

 

 

The event brought together conscious Muslim faithful in and outside Lagos State to be fed with spiritual diets during this year’s memorial Ramadan lecture at the popular De Blue Roof, LTV, Ikeja, Lagos.

 

The event was organised in honour of the late police boss to take Muslims faithful on a voyage around the blessings of Ramadan under a convivial environment.

 

 

 

Top Islamic scholars, including Isiaq Oloyede, Jubril Salaudeen, and Dr. Mustapha Adebayo Bello kept the audience on the edge of their seats, as they took turns to engage them during their brilliant presentations, which were peppered with copious quotes from the holy Quran, as well as Hadith, the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammed, SAW.

 

 

 

As revealed, the event was indeed, one moment that gave not a few in the audience the opportunity to see the oil magnate as someone who has not abandoned his religiou

s obligations in the quest for wealth.
