Adeyemi Olusola Lawson News

Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

The day passed quietly last week: no fun fair; no noise-making. It was not because he is no longer in the flesh. Even if he were,

the great day would have been marked modestly. A few speculations, given what I knew about his nature and his values the great day would have been marked modestly. A few speculations, given what I knew about his nature and his values, raced to my mind on how the day would have been marked – a handful of friends and admirers visiting to extend the customary courtesies and best wishes to him, a musical concert, children singing the Hallelujah Chorus.

Coming from an enlightened parentage, Adeyemi Lawson began his elementary education at the age of four at a private school known as Caxton House School. He moved from there to Baptist Academy where he finished in Standard Six, was admitted the following yearto CMS Grammar School founded in 1859 at Abeokuta, the first and oldest secondary school in Nigeria to date. The school was moved to Lagos after a few years.

Business is a risk, but Adeyemi Lawson was not one to flee from risk taking in business or any endeavour. He went from banking to brewing for which he was renowned, to pharmaceuticals, to glass manufacturing and to services such as insurance and advertising.He was into petroleum marketing.He set up ACORN Petroleum Nigeria Limited to drive it – undergirded as was his accustomed thoughtfulness by the adage “The mighty oaks from little acorns grow.

As one controlling about a dozen leading companies, including oil prospecting and exploration in Gabon, and the establishment of Agbara Estate, the first of its kind as an industrial and residential city in West Africa, it could not have come as a surprise that his contemporaries in business and economy found him worthy to invest in him the leadership of their various associations.

Lawson was always in his elements whenever he had to speak on The Grail Message and he went on: “The Grail Message as a fountain of Truth itself is not easy for the average human spirit who has become spiritually indolent to grapple with, and the majority of human beings have become spiritually indolent on earth. The average man is no longer concerned with his origins in Creation or the purpose of life. He dreams and goes through a vivid experience in the dream.

So dear is he to our hearts for his love and exemplary exertions to make the gift that is The Grail Message known to all and sundry, that friends were in frenzy to remind us close to him last week that Adeyemi Lawson, indeed, passed this way, a foremost servant of Imanuel at his time in all of Africa except the Democratic Republic of Congo! He was in our midst, our leader and guide, a colossus in the real meaning of the word.
