In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.

My name is Adebimpe Saudat Adedoyin. I am a native of Ibadan, Oyo State. I grew up in a large household of 7 siblings and extended family members many of whom made very impressionable impact on my upbringing as a child.

My dearest and beloved late father, Layiwola Abdulganiyu Adedoyin AKA Wadoyin, (may Allah grant him Jannahtul Firdaus in the hereafter Allahumma – ameen) made the greatest impression on me from my youth. Even though, my father was a middle-income entrepreneur, yet his acts of philanthropy in our neighborhood would eclispe that of a billionaire.

I recall fondly how my father would meet and subsequently help mere strangers in need. He would occasionally accost an indigent child hawking during school time and would ask them where their parents were and why they were not in school. My father paid school fees for numerous indigent children in this manner.

When I and my siblings became older and quite independent, my father would often promise to help some of his own neighbors on behalf of we his children. He would not even first seek our consent before creating the obligation for us. My father’s driving principle was that one must always help those in need regardless of the circumstance or situation! He was indeed an admirable role model.
