In the world of law, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), is a man of unmatched eloquence, renowned for his legal brilliance, his oratory, and his deep sense of justice. But beyond the robes and the courtroom, lies another dimension of this multi-talented man: a lover of music, a servant of God, and, most tenderly, a devoted husband.
This morning, the learned silk set aside the language of legal arguments and instead reached for the language of the heart. With the pen as his instrument, he composed a soul-stirring tribute to his wife of 21 years, Kofoworola, his partner in love, life, and faith.
In words that read like poetry and feel like a serenade, Dr. Ajulo reflected on their journey together:
“As we stand on the threshold of our 21st year together, I find myself reflecting on the journey we’ve shared, each moment a thread woven into the rich tapestry of our lives… Your love has been my steadfast anchor, guiding me through life’s storms and illuminating even the darkest days.”
From the early days when her smile first captured his heart, to the laughter, trials, and triumphs they’ve shared, his tribute painted the portrait of a love both enduring and ever-growing. He spoke of a home filled with joy and children, of the strength and grace that Kofoworola embodies, and of his awe at her ability to turn ordinary days into cherished memories.
“As we celebrate this milestone, I want you to know that my love for you only grows deeper with time. Your love is my greatest gift, and I promise to cherish and honor it for all the years to come.”
For Dr. Ajulo, this anniversary is not merely a marker of years but a celebration of a bond fortified by faith, mutual respect, and shared dreams.
His golden words etched, as he describes, “on the marble of his Venus”, remind us that even in a fast-paced world, love, when nurtured, remains timeless.
Below is the unedited love note:
To My Beautiful Wife on Our 21st Anniversary
My Dearest, Kofoworola
As we stand on the threshold of our 21st year together, I find myself reflecting on the journey we’ve shared—each moment a thread woven into the rich tapestry of our lives. It feels like just yesterday when I first held your hand, captivated by your smile and the warmth of your spirit.
From the laughter we’ve shared to the challenges we’ve faced, every experience has shaped us, bringing us closer together. Your love has been my steadfast anchor, guiding me through life’s storms and illuminating even the darkest days. Your kindness and compassion inspire me every day, and I am endlessly grateful for the way you embrace life with open arms.
Together, we’ve built a beautiful family, adorable children, creating a home filled with love, joy, and cherished memories. I am constantly in awe of your strength and grace, whether you are nurturing our children or supporting me in my dreams. You have a remarkable ability to make ordinary moments extraordinary, turning simple days into memories I hold dear.
As we celebrate this milestone, I want you to know that my love for you only grows deeper with time. I look forward to the adventures that lie ahead, to making new memories, and to continuing to grow together.

Here’s to us, my love—twenty-one years of laughter, love, and partnership. I am so grateful to walk this path with you, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
