Family & Friends of Top Businessman, Jude Rudolf Solomon Remembers him One Year After
Just like yesterday, his death hit everyone like a thunderstorm. One year after, his demise is giving those he left a moment of recompense. At his one year of departing this sinful world, many who drank from his magnanimity squared up to remember him.
Nobody makes a fine corpse. But Jude Rudolf Solomon did. Even in death, the billionaire businessman cuts a perfect portrait of comeliness and humanity at its finest. Like the lucent carnation amid a bouquet of flowers, he exuded enviable humaneness in his lifetime.
Honestly, few people get to transit from being utterly indispensable to “eternally unforgettable.” This truth amongst so many others manifested in the manner in which friends and families have been mourning the astute businessman and generous philanthropist who lived life in line with the teachings of his creator.
Jude crossed over to the divine plane, freighted with sweet repose and rewards for his deeds and he is where votive luscious hyacinths relay the promise of aneternal Eden.
Unlike most other billionaires that one met in the course of life’s peregrination, the very sociable and affable real estate tycoon, Jude Rudolf Solomon never treated anyone as a minor or stranger.
Jude was dear to anyone who had the qualities of endearment, and the understanding. He had a quiet way of being genuine. His fervours, were chiefly for the betterment of mankind.
In setting aside his own interests, he let his deep gift of compassion go to work for the good of others. Thus he poetised humaneness as an incontestable good of the world. His life was a moving poem; a lifting lyric crafted to ennoble and enrich every aspect of his world.
Jude did something unique, thrilling, and infinitely beautiful; he lived for the good of others. He is now walking swiftly along the lakeshore of eternity, with his brilliant eyes sparkling; urging us to pass on the bequest of his life fully lived.
Eulogies and sweet testimonies of his humane side rented the air as many who have had a fair share of his generosity confessed that such a great man should not have died.
More reason the Lagos Continental Hotel- Grand African ballroom, on the 23rd of October, 2021 was a location filled with rising emotions as friends and family converged in disbelief.
Those who never believed the news of his shocking demise also came to clarify and also bid the jolly good fellow a farewell. With tears dropping like rainfall, the Ballroom was filled up to the brim as many sympathizers thronged in their large numbers to pay homage even in death.
The flood of despair incited by the death of Jude Solomon resulted in a cascade of tears. Travelling across continents for his burial is no doubt a worthy enterprise for the hundreds of people who are eager to canonise the deceased’s memory; it’s the least that they could do to venerate a man, husband, father, and business titan, who was passionately inured in his desire to do good for others so he could contribute his quota to improving humanity.
Jude was natural nobility, who was peerless, and proved throughout his existence that he needed no trappings of wealth or fame to generate his peculiar brand of humanity.
From the calibre of the eminent Nigerians and Africans who are planning to grace the occasion, one need not be told that Jude Rudolf Solomon; lived a purposeful, fruitful, and very impressive life.
Joining the train of tributes in honour of the late philanthropist is Steve Carthy, a British national who was vice president to Mr femi otedola at Zenon Petroleum penned a heartfelt message in remembrance of late Jude Solomon. According to Cathy “He was one of the nicest I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I remember him as someone who loved life and always wanted to help other people and would do anything for anyone purely out of the goodness of his heart. The world has definitely lost one of it’s finest. RIP Jude”. He concluded.
Described as a dependable ally, the late Jude Solomon according to Saheed Adelewa, one of the close associate of the late oil and real estate magnate was an irreplaceable benefactor. In his words “He was my guardian angel, my godfather and my life will never remain the same, till we meet again. Rest in eternal peace boss”.
