Transcorp Hilton hotel was filled with dignitaries and high profile people. Other guests were less popular but nonetheless welcome to the safe home orphanage annual fundraiser. While others graced the events to witness the Modibbo's tremendous contribution to educating and safeguarding children and equally contribute their part, some were there simply to gossip, others so as to meet other high profile people, if possible share a table with or even appear together in a picture.
The event was started at exactly 8:30 pm with an opening speech by none other than the Chief executive officer of Modibbo Enterprises, Alhaji Kabir Modibbo. The tall, fair and well built man stood erect on the podium in all his glory. Something in his calm composure commands respect.
The hall that was initially alive with murmurs went silent. He spoke softly pronouncing each word with renowned refinement. Among the keen listeners was the woman who could never get enough of him. They had spent over thirty years together yet his aura still captivated her. Just like every marriage, theirs wasn't devoid of its own ups and downs yet he had proven to be an exceptional man.

Alhaji Kabir spoke first about being blessed with caring for the kids, the blessing that is the children and the blessing that he felt it was to offer them a home, an education and a chance to someday become independent and great in the society. The audience would at intervals interrupt him with rounds of applause, which he would pause for before continuing.
His calm authoritative words was the only sound that resonated all through the hall as he stood before them with a sincere heart. His speech although short was always to the point and never disappointed. He had often been described by the media as 'the man who speaks golden words and never fails to keep to to them.'
After his speech, Alhaji Kabir was on the way to his seat when one of his guards whispered something that left him unsettled. It was a plus one to their party, an otherwise welcome one except that he knew better. Nonetheless, he proceeded to seat next to his returning her smile with one of his as if he hadn't at all been shaken by the young man's information.
"The main reason why I jumped at the opportunity of anchoring this event was to listen to Alhaji Kabiru live and I don't have a single iota of regret!" The MC said while the audience applauded.
