It a pleasure for me to respond to the invitation extended to me by Tolu Olarewaju on the occasion of the 70th birthday anniversary of Raphael Sunday Olarewaju. The man Raphael Sunday is a role model in character in the field of academia, business and community service. From Secondary School to University, Raphael Sunday’s academic records were outstanding with several laurels and distinctions.

In business, he championed the establishment of Mother & Child Hospital from its conception to becoming one of the foremost health providers in Lagos State, Nigeria.

The contributions of Raphael Sunday to Community development is note worthy. He served as President of Oko Development Association for more than six years with several laudable programs for youth development. In addition, he actively participated in all the programmes of Club 7 Oko as one of the leading financial members of the Club.

It is an honour for me to share these messages with your family and friends. In my capacity as the First Asiwaju of Oko-Irese and President of Club 7 Oko, I congratulate you for attaining the age of 70 and still looking about 15 years younger. On behalf of Oko- Irene Community, members of Club 7 Oko and my family, I thank God for your life and wish you long life in good health in the service of humanity.

I celebrate Daddy Olarewaju today as you turn 70!
I have known you as a friend of my parents since childhood. From that tender age I associated you and Mummy’s visits with smiles and laughter in our home. I lived with your family for about a year in 2007/2008 and can confidently testify that you and Mummy built a godly home. You exhibited humility and simplicity and kindness that was not because of your caliber in the church as Parish Pastors, but because you truly knew Jesus and lived to please him day by day.
No wonder the glory shines brighter and brighter in your lives!

I wish you all happiness and peace in the years ahead. May the Lord preserve you and Mummy for many more years and make you continually fresh and green, flourishing in the courts of the Lord.

Happy birthday Daddy!

I met Dr Olarewaju as a student at Ajase-po High School in 1972. He was in Form 4 then when I was in Form 1.The relationship got deeper as we later met in Jos and even in Lagos till today. Dr Olarewaju is an encourager who loves to support and develop people. He’s a giver, God fearing man, intelligent and diligent. His humility cannot be overemphasized. On behalf of my family, I wish him very happy birthday and I pray for more glorious years in sound health, more grace and abundant blessings of God in Jesus name. Congratulations sir.

I am genuinely happy to wish my senior, mentor and brother a happy 70th.
As your days are, sir, so shall His grace and favours continue to be yours in the mighty name of Jesus.
As a young boy, seeing you close as you displayed your brilliance yet leading our early morning prayers in the boarding house made people like me want to be like you. You broke the record in the school and did even more in University.
My prayer is that the Lord will add to your days, you will not disappear in the midst of your days and you will eat the fruits of your labour.
Happy birthday sir and may His grace continue to be more than sufficient for you. Amen

Being a septuagenarian is not only a special blessing but also a divine favour from the Almighty God. My Pastor, brother, Field marshal and Mentor, you are highly favoured. I don’t see you retiring at 70 but rising and shining, for this is your set time for unmerited prosperity, divine favour, unique Grace and blessing IJN. You have laboured in the past, and the rest is reaping in the vineyard of the Almighty God. Happy 70th birthday to you sir. More blessing IJN

Happy birthday, and congratulations to you on your 70th birthday celebration. Yes, you do not look the 70s; you look very young and physically fit. Thank God Almighty for your life and your family. You are an inspiration for what a good leader should be. You are a kind fellow and a wonderful mentor to others.

May the good Lord continue to grant you good health, wisdom and happiness to enjoy your celebration and beyond.

Cheers!
Sanya

Dr Olarewaju is a brilliant, unassuming, highly principled, and also amiable senior, brother and friend.
He is a role model in hard work and a firm believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have known him for these attributes since he was our senior at the high school. He remained unwavering also during our period together at ABU Zaria, and today, we testify that he is still the same in faith and hard work. I wish him many more prosperous years as he celebrates this 70th year of coming of age in good health, peace, joy and happiness.

Dear brother
You have always been a brother in and out of sight.
You have remained your gentle, caring and compassionate friend.
God bless your day and remain blessed as you soldier on for Christ.
Happy Birthday.
From your brother from another mother

Our Pastor, our Doctor, our father, the one that accepted us as his own. It is such an honour to celebrate you today sir.
Thank you for all the love and care that you shower upon us over and over. It was a blessing having you as a shepherd. Having you at the birth, naming ceremonies and dedication of our children. Your simplicity, realism, humility, love for the word, love for teaching the word, love for God, commitment to the Kingdom is so palpable and worthy of emulation.
We love you sir and pray the grace of God abides with you forever and ever.

I trust that is the grace of God upon your life. May God continue to bless you with abundant health, happiness, and wisdom in the years ahead. May His light guide your path, and may you always find strength and comfort in His presence. Amen

“So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.” Psalm 78:72 NKJV

This scripture encapsulates the persona of Dr Raphael Sunday Olarewaju. In my relationship with him for almost three decades, he has been an exemplar of godliness and professional competence in equal measures. He has consistently maintained a record of impeccable integrity in all aspects of life and earned recognition as a first-rate gynaecologist. It is commendable that his commitment to God is unaffected by the demands of his busy medical practice. My prayer is that the Lord God who has kept you for the past 70 years will grant you long life and the grace to finish well in the name of Jesus. When your sojourn in life comes to an end, may the Lord welcome you to Heaven with a ” WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.”

It is a wonderful day to celebrate the grace of God upon your life
Your steadfast walk with God, your uprightness and penchant for the truth at any cost has been a source of inspiration for me
You have been a trail blazer in medical Practice and in ministry. Your uncanny knowledge and ministration if the word always left me in wonderment!
I celebrate you on your 70th birthday today. May God keep you in all your ways, and grant you divine health and wealth all the days of your life.
May God add life to your years and years to your life in Jesus name
Happy 70th birthday Pastor Dr Ralph Olanrewaju. More grace. Ékún sir

I am so glad to say a word or two about my friend and brother, Dr Raphael Olarewaju. I met him through my brother, Dr Niyi Bankole and I have been attracted to him by his humility and kindness. Although an accomplished doctor and academic, he comes across as very accommodating, helpful and compassionate. The huge cost of running Mother and Child hospital has not prevented him from giving huge discounts to patients, myself inclusive. He delivers medical reports, even frightening ones, with care and love. He is also a very caring father, standing by his children in very trying times. As you turn 70, I pray that the Almighty God will make the latter end of your life better than the beginning. May the Lord grant you grace to live for many more years in peace, joy and divine health. Many happy returns.

As we celebrate the 70th year of a remarkable journey, we honour a man whose life echoes the wisdom of Proverbs 9:11, “For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.” Dr Raphael Sunday Olarewaju, a beacon of knowledge, faith, and service, has illuminated many paths.

Born in 1954 in Oko Irese, Kwara State, to humble beginnings, he rose above challenges and excelled academically. Dr Olarewaju’s roots run deep into the nurturing values of Pa Ige Adubi and Mama Ebelomo. His academic excellence, which shone brightly at Ajasse Ipo Comprehensive High School, where he was an academic mentor and life coach to many, including my humble self, was a precursor to the exceptional career ahead. As Psalm 1:3 describes, “He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever he does prospers.” So has been the story of Dr Olarewaju, who prospered in his endeavours and bore fruit through his unwavering commitment to medicine, leadership, and mentorship.

His scholarly pursuits, crowned with a Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery from Ahmadu Bello University and further honed through rigorous training, have made Dr Olarewaju a cornerstone in Obstetrics & Gynecology. He has embraced the call of Luke, the physician, as the Dr Luke Generation Foundation exemplifies, to heal and nurture the body and spirit within the church and society.

Dr Olarewaju’s professional tapestry is woven with threads of public service and private excellence, from the halls of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) to the nurturing wards of Mother and Child Hospital. His life resonates with the words of Matthew 5:16, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

In the story of his life, “I Obtained Mercy,” we find a testament to God’s grace and the strength of the human spirit. His advisory role, laden with wisdom from decades of experience, is a guiding star for those navigating the complex cosmos of healthcare.

As we celebrate this milestone, we honour the professional and the man – family-oriented, community-bound, and God-fearing. In honour of the legacy of Dr R.S. Olarewaju’s parents, his elder brother and his wife, who played a significant role in his education and Dr Olarewaju and his wife, set up endowment funds with financial gifts annually to the best graduating students in the Faculties of Agriculture, Science and Medical Sciences respectively.

On this 70th Birthday, we are reminded of Philippians 1:6, “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Dr Raphael Sunday Olarewaju, your excellent work continues. It is a blessing to many and a glory to God.

Happy Birthday, and may your years ahead be as rich in joy and purpose as the years you have gifted to the world.

According to Numbers 6:24-26, “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

Congratulations.

We could not have asked for a better:

Father..

Father-in-law..

Grandfather..

to do lifes’s journey with.

You are God’s special gift to us, and we pray that you will remain vigorous and mighty, just like Caleb, to conquer greater giants than you ever have.

And through; and in you,God will do great and mighty things, in Jesus name!!

Thank you for being more than a boss to me-you are a mentor, a role model, source of inspiration and a father to me.

Wishing you success, fulfilment and happiness in all you do.

With deepest rest and warm regards I wish you a happy birthday Sir.

The Enodiens.

On this special day, I want to take a moment to extend my warmest birthday wishes to you, Sir. May your day be filled with joy, laughter, and all the happiness you deserve.

As the father of my dear friend, Tayo, you’ve always been a source of inspiration and guidance. Your wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support have touched the lives of those around you, including mine. On your birthday, I want to express my gratitude for all the times you’ve welcomed me into your home with open arms and made me feel like part of the family. Your generosity and hospitality are truly appreciated.

Here’s to another year of wonderful memories and cherished times with your loved ones. May the year ahead bring you health, happiness, and success in all your endeavours.

Dr Raphael Olarewaju FWACS, at 70

Let me start by wishing my friend and my brother a happy 70th Birthday. May the Lord grant you happiness, fulfillment and a healthy long life to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Amen.

Wow, how time flies! It seems like yesterday when our career paths and our lives crossed in Jos in the mid 1980s. We were Resident Doctors undergoing training to become Specialists in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). I had been in training 2 years ahead of him and observed that he settled in very well in his work.

Our training Consultant, Dr Eldred Wright, an amiable, progressive and committed teacher of men, ensured we learned under a very conducive environment. Dr Wright is now of blessed memory and may his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Under Dr Wrights’s watch, Dr Olarewaju‘s working relationship with me was very cordial and I recall that we fondly called each other “my brother”.

The city of Jos where we worked in the 80s was most welcoming to all people, peaceful and calm. Jos weather was remarkable. The City gave us what we needed to concentrate on our studies and by the grace of God we both achieved successes in our chosen careers.

Let me now focus on his character and personality traits in those early days. I can say without fear of contradiction that Dr Olarewaju was well liked by his patients in Jos. He was always helpful and showed compassion. He quickly became competent in his work. He also had good relationships with both senior and junior staff of the hospital. I do not recall rancours with anyone. Even when a less approachable Consultant ultimately took command of our department, Dr Olarewaju (and I) did not lose focus.

In 1986, while Dr Olarewaju remained in Jos to complete his Residency training, I traveled to England to pursue additional training. Upon my return to Nigeria, we kept in touch and were very happy to learn about each other’s progress and success in life.

I visited him at his Mother and Child Hospital in Ikeja Lagos and was impressed with his efforts in putting together a specialized practice. I’ve no doubt that he has made his mark in the field of medicine and that he has planted his footprints on the sands of time.

Well done my brother! Long may you live, full of God’s blessings upon you and family. Amen.

CEO, Nisa Medical Group Ltd

Thank you for all you are to me, our family, the Oko Community and everyone. We are blessed to have you. Happy birthday, Sir!

Uncle, you are the greatest gift anyone could ever have in the family. We are grateful to have you in our family. You always know what to say and to do to darkest our days. Happy birthday to you, my dearest uncle, who sacrificed so much for me and my family. We love you.

Daddy, Dr.Olarewaju Raphael, is a good father to me, a role model, a mentor, a man with an open heart, and a loving father, not only to me alone but also to my children. You have impacted my life positively by telling me not to relent in my effort but to try as much as possible to train my children no matter what it takes, which I did despite all odds. I am fortunate to have you as my father, sir. Any issue of my concern becomes yours. Daddy, I will forever be grateful to you. You will continue to eat the good fruit of your labour, not from your biological children alone, but a child like me and my children in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Mummy Olarewaju is a caring, loving mother who is very accommodating.
Daddy, on my family’s behalf, I wish you a happy birthday. As your days are, so shall your strength be in the name of Jesus Christ.
I bless the very day I knew you as my family. People that matter will indeed serve you. The Bible says as long as you can see, so you clock 70, You will surely clock 120, 150. You will continue flourishing in Jesus’ Name, Amen, even in your old age. You and the children God has given you will continue to be for signs and wonders in Jesus’ Name, Amen. Igba odun, odun kan ni o. Amin o ni ♥❤❤❤❤❤

Hmm, what a father we have in Pastor R S Olarewaju.😍

For us, we will say God chose our sweet, lovely and kind-hearted Pastor Olarewaju to be our Pastor.

Pastor Sunday Olarewaju is a Godly man who takes care of his own family, disciplines his spiritual children when the need arises, and never wavers in teaching the truth as recorded in the Bible. Pastor Olarewaju is priceless to his congregation, a good pastor to a core who sets an example for everyone under his ministry, especially the youth.

Pastor Olarewaju is an encourager to everyone around him and is very focused. He is attentive to the old and young and ensures they are well cared for.

Pastor Olarewaju is a Godly man who allows God to use him according to God’s will. He is a mentor and someone you can ask questions about all parts of your life when you need guidance.

In our conclusion, over the period we were under his tutelage, we can boldly say that Pastor Olarewaju was the saviour of our marriage, which is now growing stronger and stronger every day. We can say Pastor Olarewaju is our teacher and chosen father in the Lord. He was one person who drew us more to Christ in his teachings and lifestyle.

Sir, we love you so much as you attain this platinum Jubilee.

We pray for you, Sir. You shall live to enjoy much more of God’s blessings in Jesus’ name.

Hip, hip, hip, hurray.🧁🍰🎂🍦

I knew Daddy as a medical doctor at Olatunde Memorial Hospital at Ogba.
He is my angel, my daddy in the Lord. He led me and my family to Christ in 1996.
Since 1996, Daddy and Mummy have been caring, tutoring, teaching, monitoring, helping, and pampering us with the love of God.
In fact, their love, care, and generosity towards my family are indescribable.
Daddy is reflecting Christ in the mirror of his life.
May God reward you accordingly, Sir.
May God keep you for us, cause you to live long with good, perfect health, and eat the fruits of your labour over all your children in Jesus’ Mighty Name.
More glorious years ahead, Sir.
Happy birthday, Daddy.

As I reflect on the past 14 years of my career journey, it is with immense gratitude that I write to express my deepest appreciation for everything you have done for me and my family throughout this time.
As I look ahead to the future, I carry with me the invaluable lessons and guidance you have imparted. Your leadership has set a standard of excellence that I aspire to emulate in my journey, both as a professional and as a leader.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your unwavering support, encouragement, and belief in me over the past 14 years. I am truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work under your leadership, and I look forward to continuing to make you proud in the years to come.
Happy birthday, Daddy, as we celebrate you. I wish you continued health, happiness, and success in the years ahead.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Promise Nwaejigh

My first encounter with Dr Olarewaju was in Yola, North East Nigeria in 1990.
We parted ways but met again in Lagos about a decade later.
My first impression of him was a cerebral and friendly person, who will do anything to help a person in need.
He invited me to join his medical practice and I found out that this is one great decision I have made after receiving salvation found only in Christ.
Dr Olarewaju had been personally involved in my life and has accepted me for who I am despite that we have many differences.
I cannot ever forget how Dr Olarewaju sacrificed time and money to ensure that we have a house in our home town, and he has always been there for me and my family in times of challenges.
Dr Olarewaju is not just a boss but more to me a friend indeed.
He is gifted with grace of forgiveness and very faithful, he doesn’t give up on people easily, even those who have wounded him.
My wife and I celebrate you as you reach the good age of seventy years.
We pray that your goodness will speak for you now and in eternity.
You have laboured at work and at home, so shall my God reward you with perfect soundness in body and mind and your faith will not fail.
My wife and all of us in the family wish you a happy birthday and prosperity all the days of your life.
Congratulations sir
Dr & Dr (Mrs) Funminiyi Bankole and Family

Dr R S OLAREWAJU (Uncle, as I fondly call you), you are an epitome of kindness, humility, compassion and love: a prolific and generous man, a destiny helper, a friend of all and a peace lover.

Following in the footsteps of your senior brother, Prof. V O OLAREWAJU, you have helped to build the lives & destinies of many (from childhood to adulthood), giving meaning to the lives of many children of your siblings, uncles, aunties and other

near & distant relations, including those that are not related to you but come across you.

I am a beneficiary of your kindheartedness & generosity.

I can never forget how you helped me from my university days till I got established in my profession, business and even marriage. I remember how you left your only car then (Nissan Bluebird) with me for over a year to run a business you & another destiny helper helped me establish with your hard-earned money. What about how you single-handedly got me a job after my youth service in Jimeta, Yola, in 1992, brought me back to Jos, and gave me accommodation free of charge?

Uncle, I remain indebted and ever grateful to you. As you follow in your brother’s footsteps, building the lives and destinies of many, I also follow in your footsteps, and I promise you I won’t let you down.

As you turn 70 years old, in this season, my prayer and the prayer of my family for you is that God will multiply grace and wisdom unto you, cause you to age gracefully in good/ sound mind, good health/strength & vitality, make you enjoy the fruit of your labour, help you to fulfil your days, and finish strong.

CONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SIR.

OLATUNJI AKANBI & FAMILY.

Sir, having known you for about 27 years, there are three words that summarise your person—excellence, Integrity, and Intellectuality. These are underpinned by your desire to apprehend what you are apprehended for—being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
To Him be ALL the Glory and Honour for all that you are and yet to be in Jesus’ Name. Amen

Dr RS Olarewaju was my employer from 2006 to 2015. During these years, I have seen in him a God-fearing man that one could emulate. He relates well with his workers and customers irrespective of their status.
He likes to create space to help people even without vacancy.
He is hardworking and has a passion for his profession.
He considers other’s interests ahead of his own.
He pays his employees fairly and timely (when some employers were laying off staff, paying salaries late, etc.)
He treats employees fairly and does not show partiality.
My wish for him is that God grant him a long life in good health and a sound mind. He has laboured and will live long to enjoy old age if Jesus tarries. Congratulations, my Oga.

I have known Dr. Olarewaju since our high school days.
I know him to be very principled. When he sets a goal, he pursues it with all his energy until he achieves it. He refused to compromise the standards and was nicknamed Field Marshal in our high school days. He is a brilliant man, and he won many accolades which could not be matched by any of his colleagues in high school. He is a generous man, a good friend of mine. Lastly and more importantly, he loves the Lord. Friend, I congratulate you on this milestone age; the Lord will keep you stronger and give you good health, and your latter days will continue to be more fruitful and fulfilling.

You are indeed a rare man.

A man of integrity.

Having you as a neighbour is a blessing in my life.

You are a true neighbour.

I am blessed to know you, and I want to say thank you for saving my life in so many ways that you will never understand.

May God continue illuminating your life, showing you the best paths and making all your dreams come true.

My prayer on your special day is for your life to be filled with joy and happiness.

Enjoy your special day.

I pray that your moments are filled with joy and peace, and I thank God for all you bring to my life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BELOVED NEIGHBOUR.

Happy Birthday to an Icon
Truly, you are an icon to reckon with. Your impact on my life & others can not be erased. You are a leader, a father to us, and a good counsellor. You are very much appreciated, Sir. Thanks so much for your inspiration, morally, spiritually and physically. You touch so many lives with joy, and you deserve to have your deepest wishes and dreams come true on this special day.
May God bless your new age and continue to grant you more grace and good health so you can celebrate many more of it in Jesus’ name.
Happy Birthday, Daddy.
Age Gracefully Sir.

Happy birthday to such an amazing daddy, who always has a smile to share and heart full of love. May your day be as bright and beautiful as your spirit. Wishing you a day that’s as beautiful and bright as the love and joy you bring into our lives.Age gracefully in good health and sound mind in Jesus name.
Happy birthday, Sir.

It’s challenging for me to fill the void left by your absence as a pastor. I often find myself comparing other pastors I serve under to you, and they all fall short of the high standard you’ve set. Your 70 years on this earth have exemplified resilience, wisdom, and boundless love. Through life’s trials and triumphs, your faith has remained unwavering, your kindness unyielding, and your heart endlessly generous. Your influence in our lives has been a beacon of inspiration and fortitude, guiding us with your sage advice and enveloping us in your nurturing embrace.

On behalf of Sola Olafare and Oluwatise Olafare, we offer our heartfelt wishes for a birthday filled with love, laughter, and the joy of being surrounded by those who love you most. We Love you Daddy! and we say thank you to Mummy.

I want to heartily celebrate my Teacher and Boss as he adds another year.

You have been a strong pillar of support to me in this profession.

I wish you sir the very best and more beautiful celebrations ahead in Jesus Name.

Happy Birthday Sir

It’s my belief that the 70th birthday is tremendous, significant, and equally impressive in the kind world we are in. As you celebrate this birthday Platinum, God has ushered a bright and beautiful future for us. I am telling you sincerely that me and my family love you and are happy to have you as our in-law.
Wishing you long life and prosperity in Jesus’ name.

I met Daddy as a pastor at RCCG Glory Sanctuary. What made him outstanding was his “being there” for his parishioners. I also loved his messages, how he raised dynamic workers in the household of God and his magnanimity. He is a very humble man despite his position and a man of integrity. I won’t end this without saying that he is one of the pastors I know who has successfully raised up his children in the ways of God.
I wish you many more years on earth in good health to reap the fruits of your labour, and at the end of time, may your crown of righteousness in heaven not elude you, Sir, 🙏🙏🙏🙏. Amen

We celebrate the life of a father who has not only aged gracefully @70 but has also grown in wisdom and love. Daddy, your life has been a testament to the power of love, hard work, strength , selflessness, integrity, support, patience, and the profound impact of a father’s guidance through excellent wisdom.

You have left an indelible mark on our lives and your legacy will continue to inspire us. Happy 70th Birthday, and wish you many more years ahead in good health and vitality in Jesus name.

From
Tope Oloruntoba and family

Dr. Olarewaju is a man of integrity. A man who speaks his mind and barely bear grudge against anyone. A man who forgives easily and doesn’t get angry for long. He is a man of wisdom who is filled with tolerance and a true father figure to everyone. Amidst all these he is a man who delights in doing the work of God .

As u celebrate another year of God’s grace and faithfulness in your life . I pray his mercy, love and protection will keep abiding in you. You will live more years on earth in good health of mind and body to testify his goodness and your joy will know no bound .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR

Hurray!!! Seventy Cheerful Halleluyah to our Daddy and Pastor in whom we are so pleased. The entire Members and Pastorate of RCCG Glory Sanctuary, old and present, felicitate and rejoice with our Pioneer Pastor on the occasion of your 70th Birthday. Only God can reward your generosity and contribution to individuals and the Church from inception till date. The Legacy you left remains unbeatable. Congratulations, Daddy R.S. Olarewaju! We can only wish you renewed Grace and strength in Good health —RCCG Glory Sanctuary Agege

I knew Dr. R.S. Olarewaju in 1974.
As a secondary schoolmate, he was a brilliant and focused person. He was our senior prefect in 1976. He had the best WAEC results in our set.
I’m not all that close to him. One thing he did recently that thrilled me more was to make some money available to a private University to cater to indigent students. I salute him for the act of kindness and generosity.
I wish him a happy and healthy birthday.

Field Marshall!!! As famously called amongst his classmates over 48yrs at Ajase-Ipo Comprehensive High School ( Kwara State, Nigeria ). He was the class captain from inception (1972) until he became SP (Senior Prefect) in 1976.
Despite being brilliant, he was very studious (reading with a lantern was hectic those days). I had to emulate him by being in the first row and sitting two desks before him (as his seat was always at the back).
He is firm, decisive, honest, passionate and an exemplary of a practising Christian with unquestionable character.
Besides, he is an icon in the medical field, a giver, down-to-earth, and a rare personality to our generation.
Dr. Raphael Sunday Olarewaju, happy 70th birthday. I wish you longevity and good health. May the Almighty God spare your life so you can serve humanity more purposefully and successfully in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.

I have known Dr and his wife for almost 51 years, since our secondary school days in AJASE.
We became close after he married my friend, his wife.
For me, he has been very tolerant of my pettiness and always talking down my mountains (that I always shared with him) to a mould hill. He has been accommodating and supportive of me as a family friend.
His house is my second home. I can’t explain my heart about this Man of God.
I sincerely pray that Doctor continues to live long in good health and enjoy the fruits of his labour. He will fulfill his days according to Exodus 23:26c, and Psalm 91:16 will be a reality for him in Jesus’ name.
Congratulations!

I have known Dr. R.S. Olarewaju since birth more than sixty-five years ago.
We grew up in Ile Nla Compound Oko Irese in Irepodun LGA of Kwara State.
We come from the same grand-grandfather, ‘ANIYALOYE.’
When we were young, we used to play éré-pété, ‘hide-and-seek,’ together at night before we went to bed.
Dr R.S. Olarewaju started his primary school late as he was almost ripe for marriage in those days – ‘otinropon’- so could conceive any woman that moved near him 😀
He had to wait for some years so that his senior brother and sisters would go to school first, and when they completed, it would now be his turn. He had no alternative but to follow his father to the farm.
He could cultivate almost 600 heaps whenever engaged on the farm.
Dr R.S. Olarewaju has been hardworking, diligent, and focused since his youth.
I confirmed this the day we went to the farm together late in the evening towards night time to remove and load some preserved big tubers of yam in the farm with a Bedford lorry for sale. His father had been industrious, and so is he.
I remember that day when the lorry conductor screamed, ‘ Koko to ba mi lese ò’—meaning that the sharp ‘ekan’ grass had cut his leg.
Dr R.S. Olarewaju started his primary school late at Oro when he was now with his sister after the death of his father.
With that tempo of hard work, focus, determination, and great endurance, he completed primary school, secondary school, and his Bachelor’s at Ahmadu Bello University. He met me there while I was doing my civil engineering course, and he was now studying medicine. He had already overtaken our ‘group,’ who almost completed primary school seven years before he even started.
Dr. R.S. Olarewaju has been a lovely, friendly, and good family member to associate with. We are proud of him. He has been so accommodating, which is why so many of us visited him several times when he was in Jos, Ile Ife, and even here in Lagos.
As a Consultant Gynecologist, his performance has been outstanding and impressive, as many lives have been saved by God’s grace.
Dr. R.S. Olarewaju is a born-again Christian and a pastor who really fears God. He serves God diligently. No wonder God continues to expand the scope of his business in Mother and Child Hospital.
As a result of the qualities he possesses, he was once elected the Chairman ODA – Oko Progressive Association for three terms. During this period, peace and unity were restored in the community. He is also a foundation member of Club 7 Oko, of which he is very active. Dr. R.S. Olarewaju is a type to emulate.
I pray that God Almighty increases his greatness and continues to comfort him on every side. As he celebrates his 70th birthday among the living, the number of his days will be multiplied, and he will spend the rest of his life in perfect health, in Jesus’ mighty name.
Congratulations!

Jesus Christ, through fate and His work, brought Pastor Olarewaju and I together.
Not long after meeting as co-labourers in God’s vineyard, we knitted together in a relationship that grew into friendship, confidants, prayer partners and families.

Daddy, as I used to call him, is a wonderful and fantastic person to relate with. He is a true Christian of ‘old school’ religious biblical virtues, a faithful servant of God with an unquenchable love for God and humanity, honest and reliable.

By His grace, Daddy and I have shared moments together that have made me confidently attest to the fact that he’s of great elderly wisdom and depth in a profound dimension. He is also a very resilient, hardworking, humorous, positive, resourceful, and visionary individual.

Knowing and relating with you has been of great value and impact for me in no small measure.

Daddy, I, my wife and the children appreciate and celebrate you and your family on this occasion of your 70th birthday.
As your years increase, so will your strength and greatness. You will live long and live well in Jesus’ name.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR.

🙏🌹👏🌺👊💐👍

Dearly Beloved Brother Raph,

Warm happy birthday greetings and hearty congratulations on your 70th birthday!!!!!!! 👏👏 🙌

This is surely the Lord’s doing, and we join you and your beautiful family to thank our heavenly Father, who has kept us together since we first met in 1986 at JUTH, Jos, Nigeria. We were bachelors then, but it pleased Him to bless us with our faithful spouses and godly children. We shared wonderful times of fellowship, studying God’s word and serving the Lord. The Lord has prospered us in all dimensions of our lives. My wife and I join you and your family in worship and adoration to our God and Maker, and we bow down with you to honour and glorify Him in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
May the Lord mightily bless you and your family as you grow older. May we all serve Him faithfully until it pleases him to call us home. Amen!
Shalom!
Godwin and Esther Imade
👏👏🌹👍💐👊🌺🤣

Psalms‬ ‭92:12‭-‬14‬ ‭NLT‬‬
[12] But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. [13] For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. [14] Even in old age, they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.

Dear Ralph,
It is an exciting news that you are 70. Your hospitality and kindheartedness brought us together when I came for Residency interview at JUTH in February 1986.From that time on, you became closer than a brother. Many did not believe that we had not attended the same Medical School. That year you got married and Iyabo joined you and before the end of 1986, I followed your lead and married then Jose joined me. We were like twins in the department. Sharing an office with you helped me to study and work hard. The Lord blessed us with children and our training also progressed smoothly. You have been a positive influence on me and my family all through the period we were together in Jos and we are most grateful to you and Iyabo. Aside you and Godwin Imade, I have no other close friends to this day. Most members of my family know you. Only God bonded us together so quickly and so strongly over the last nearly 4 decades. Your movement to Lagos did little to diminish my affinity for you and your wonderful family.
As you turn 70, May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord cause His light to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, May the Lord grant you peace. May sound health and strength be your portion. Ralph, take some time to recount His grace upon you and your family and celebrate your new status. May the Lord grant you more grace upon grace already given.
By His grace we shall be in the UK to celebrate God’s faithfulness with you and the family.
Professor AS and Mrs JO Sagay

Tribute to Baba Olanrewanju on his 70th Birthday
Pastor (Dr.) Raphael Olanrewaju whom I always refer to simply as Baba Olanrewaju is a wonderful father and a man of God. He is simplicity personified and very frank in all matters: spiritual; and secular. Just looking at simple way he does things may give wrong judgement of his personality. Without mincing words, God has really blessed him all round with good wife (mama Olanrewaju), good children and other good things of life. He cherishes discipline and always wants things properly done. I remember when his first daughter was getting married, he insisted that the procedures of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) marriage Counselling should be followed to the letter. Baba Olanrewaju is somebody who will not give anyone burden. When I took over a Parish of the RCCG from him, he made sure everything that will help the smooth takeover of the Church by me was put in place. For this I cherish him till today. Finally, Baba Olanrewaju is a Giver; silent one for that matter. On behalf of my entire family, I wish our own Baba a Happy 70th Birthday in Good Health and Prosperity in Jesus’Name

Happy birthday to my beloved egbon as I called him (Dr Raphael S. Olarewaju). I met him and mummy Olarewaju 1994/1995 when the relocated to Lagos. I appreciate God for his humility, tenacity and patience. Very determined, diligent, hardworking and focus man. He loves God passionately ready to give his best for Jesus Christ
Glory be to God for the journey so far. God’s grace that carried you to this age will be multiplied upon your life and family in Jesus name.
You will finish well, strong in good health, peace of mind and prosperity in Jesus name.
You and mummy Olarewaju practice Christianity the way Jesus teaches. The grace of God will continue to be with you all through your life time in Jesus name. All that God has blessed you with that makes you to be happy will not turn to sorrow in Jesus name.
From my husband, myself and the children congratulations 😘🎉. From RCCG Living Waters Assembly Minister’s, Worker’s and Members we say Congratulations 👏🎉. We shout 70 Hallelujah to the Lord for the gift of Dr R.S. Olarewaju.

Congratulations to you sir on this special occasion of your 70th birthday. Your touched my life and family when I started in life as a young Doctor. You loved God, passionate about caring for people around you and you are very sincere.
May God bless your new age and years ahead with abundant peace, joy and prosperity in Jesus name.
Happy birthday Daddy.

Happy birthday to a great brother in law. I’m glad my sister chose you as her life partner. I got a good, caring, understanding, respectful, and God fearing brother in law.

The story of my life will be incomplete without you. As a gynecologist, as far back as when you were in Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), you assisted and supported me towards my journey of becoming a mother. All through to mother and child, your present hospital, your presence has been felt.

This goodwill message will be incomplete without appreciating you for the seasonal and periodic check up and gift to me and my family, The greatest of all was the surprise keys that were given to me during my pen down.

You have been so supportive to me and my family. In you I found not just a brother-in-law, but a brother. I pray today, that God’s light will continue to guide your path. I pray His love fills your heart, and his blessings overflow in every aspect of your life. Amen

Happy birthday once again, I wish you long life and prosperity, in good health of mind and body.

A teacher of the word of God who loves to praise God. I enjoy the powerful prayer sessions we have at his company. Through his life, the grace of God is evident in the company.

A very happy 70th birthday to our dear Dr Olarewaju. It’s really hard to believe your age sir. 70 looks good on you !
I spent a few minutes to ponder why it is hard to believe you are 70yrs, i then realized that your happy and ever-friendly disposition together with great humility is a special grace that has clothe you with youthful disposition to the glory of God.
Dr. Olarewaju , because of his caring and godly personality has been the natural rallying point of our small sub-community;’Otuyemi Avenue Magodo'(now part of Social Science Rd UNILAG Estate) since my family moved in 20yrs ago. He renders help in every way possible to make each person in the small community then settle in without any hazel. He coordinated the developments we are enjoying today.
In particular, Dr. Olarewaju, muted the idea of merging our old Otuyemi Avenue to Unilag Estate. It looked impossible, but he pursued it to actualization, moving us to a more serene and safer environment.
Dr Olarewaju is a gentleman of great wisdom and one who honors God by his lifestyle. In coordinating contributions/participation of community members for various projects, Dr. will always draw the attention of some of us and encourage us that, “In every community, only a few people will be seen championing the cause of development and if God has given you grace to be one of such, then just focus on doing the needful, don’t bother about the complacent team members..” That was great wisdom flowing from the heart of a great Team leader & team player.
Dr. for all your selfless services; the free medical consultations, the innumerable kind gestures to members of our community, fostering of brotherly love that even extended to our children, we pray that the almighty God will reward you bountifully. God will renew your strength as the Eagle and grant all your heart desires. Long life in good health and godly wealth you will enjoy forever in Jesus name.
Congratulations sir. Happy Celebrations!
Dcns Bunmi Adetuyi (For the Adetuyi family)

To God be all the glory for the grace divinely provided for our esteemed Dr Olarewaju, who have transcends not just being linked by opportunity of joint fellowship of the worship of God through Christ but bonded by His love to become a family with his beloved family.
Dr Olarewaju has been a consistent reliable and respected brother to us, cherished for his support at all times. There has been no good celebrations that we’ve had without Pastor Olarewaju and beloved Mummy Olarewaju being with us. Since we’ve met now for over three decades, there has been no reduction in the love from his family as ever ready confidant in the journey of life.
We wish Pastor Dr Olarewaju a happy milestone birthday celebrations. As your days are so shall your strength be. Your wife, children and grand children shall continually be sources of joy to you. Your physical, financial and spiritual greatness shall not ebb. Many happy and blessed returns of milestone birthdays and joyfilled celebrations in Jesus Name, Sir.
