In Ibadanland’s revered halls of fame,
A new titleholder emerges, bearing a noble name.
Yeye Agbaakin Iyalode Ekotedo, an honour bestowed with pride,
On Balqis Folashade Akinola, a woman of exceptional stride.
With character that shines like a beacon bright,
And contributions that uplift, inspiring new light.
As the CEO of Celebrity Magazine, her influence extends far and wide,
A true leader, leaving footprints that won’t subside.
Elder (Dr) Taiye Ayorinde, the Baale of Ekotedo’s wise eyes,
Saw in her a worthy recipient, a true gem that shines.
On his 90th birthday celebration, this honour was conferred with grace.
A proof of her selflessness, and a life well-lived in this place.
To Balqis Folashade Akinola, a woman of renown,
May this new title bring her joy and her legacy continues to astound.
