Ilesa, Osun State born top banker, Titilayo Opakunle added a year on Monday, the 7th of May. The hardworking Titilayo has paid her dues in the banking industry. She has had stints with STB, Bank PHB, UBA and she is currently with the First Bank Plc. Select friends gathered at Titilayo’s Osogbo residence for a prayer session to mark her birthday. The birthday gal in a brief chat with Global Excellence revealed her new resolutions, prayer points and also shed some light on other issues. How does she feel on her birthday? ‘Well, I feel so excited, I give praise to God, nobody except God deserves to be praised, it is not easy to have weathered a lot of storms and still remains strong and happy. I am also particularly grateful to God that I do not actually look back at what I had gone through, you know I had gone through a lot but God gave me the will to remain strong and be focused, determined and happy.

I thank God for easing things for me’, she said. A visit to her office revealed array of gifts and cakes on the table and other locations and it was not out of place to ask if she personally made arrangement for the cakes or not? ‘No, not at all’ she interjected. ‘The truth of the matter is that I only got one among the cakes with the intention of having my colleagues joining me to share the joyful moment but on entering the banking hall and seeing the cakes and the gifts I was almost moved to tears because I was not expecting it. Nobody gave me a hint and I just met the gifts; funny enough I started getting the gifts since yesterday; nice dresses, shoes etal. It is wonderful having people appreciating me and I thank God for that and it has actually encouraged me to be more grateful to God and my major prayer point now is that God should eliminate any trait of pride in my life. I am not a proud person and I am not arrogant but I still want to be more humble going forward. There is a popular Yoruba saying that ‘Eniyan laso mi’. What everybody has done actually showed to me that I am well appreciated and it is not by my power but the Grace of God’, she stated. Are there things she does that possibly make people to like her, would she mind sharing the secrets? ‘Well like a facebook post of a friend of mine this morning ‘I am just me’ I am just my natural self, I don’t pretend and I don’t keep malice. If I am angry with you, you will know immediately because I don’t hide my feelings. I am naturally friendly although there are things I hate and everybody knows about such things. If you are actually close to me, I will let you know my ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’, she stated.
