For billionaire oil and gas mogul Julius Rone OFR, ROI, every June 25 holds profound significance. While many men his age mark their birthdays in hospitals, prisons or even morgues, his own celebration finds him in a state of good health and abundance, which he considers more than enough reason to thank his Creator for sparing his life. He is a man who truly appreciates the blessings God has bestowed upon him, having been placed on a high pedestal of success. For him, giving thanks is non-negotiable, especially when the average life expectancy in Nigeria hovers just over fifty years.
On the occasion of his 52nd birthday, the man fondly known as the King of Gas danced with abandon, much like the biblical David. He lifted his voice in praise songs to the heavens and even rolled on the floor in sheer celebration, overwhelmed by gratitude. The day afforded him a valuable opportunity to reflect on the past year and count his blessings, deepening his resolve to remain thankful. Rather than hosting the usual lavish jamboree, he chose a more private celebration, surrounded by his wife, children, and a handful of close friends, where he offered prayers of thanks and cherished quiet, intimate moments.
In a departure from the extravagance often associated with men of his stature, Julius Rone did not splurge millions on expensive drinks or hire praise singers to serenade him. Instead, he quietly and secretly turned his birthday into a giving spree, donating items to the needy without seeking media attention. Those close to him revealed that he is a happy man who firmly believes his continued existence is not by his own doing but by the grace of the Creator of heaven and earth. For him, the only fitting way to show appreciation is through giving, thanksgiving and heartfelt praise.
