Not many leaders are willing to show others the way to stardom. While some prefer to play God and thereby be worshipped, others choose to relish in their seif- conceited indispensability.
For Toyin, the story is entirely different. For him, the more, the merrier. For him, greatnes not shared is mediocrity displayed.
The selfless moderation of this group, the seamless and elastic production of Professors and the near- effortless and natural tendency to advance scholarship world- wide are testimonies to this fact. Truly, Toyin Falola is a man to follow!
I have never been known to be a praise-singer, and i will never be. But then, if the truth is now sweeter than honey, as it is in Toyin's case, why must it be hoarded?
Happy New Year Sir and to all those who sincerely appreciate your efforts in this group.
