Oil Mogul, Julius Rone Celebrates 45Th Birthday
There is something electrifying about Julius Rone, the billionaire businessman behind UTM Group. He exudes the lustre of the proverbial leading light thus distinguishing his persona amid a range of middling men. Julius radiates compassion, ardor and acclaim that no life’s odd could tame. Having hacked his path to affluence in honest, industrious strides, he spread out like a bastion of human aspiration even as his exploits become objects of the world affection. Yes, like a strapping rampart in life’s sea of odds, Julius’ resilience stretches for miles.
However, joy and joie de vivre hover thickly in the home and offices of the founder of UTM Group. It is understandable. He’s 45 years old. For those who have known him for like forever, and considering his mammoth and mouth-watering successes on all fronts, he appears much older and he carries himself with as much aplomb and maturity.
Without a scintilla of doubt, 45 years is a long time in a man’s life. And if, like Rone, you have been gifted with an illustrious and impactful life, and worthy and worthwhile life, celebrating as uninhibitedly as you want shouldn’t be out of place. Julius understands and appreciates this, and how far he has come in life. In the years past, he would have shut down a whole city anywhere in the world and celebrate with friends and associates with rivers of champagnes and cognacs trailing them. But he has come of age.
He is, however, not unmindful of the fact that at 45, life now seems shorter which is why he is a walking embodiment of gratefulness to God for the grace and good health to daily wake up without any aches and anxieties. So, for his birthday, there are no plans at all to roll out the drums or turn the city on its head in celebrations for the milestone age. Instead of a party, he plans to spend the day with the downtrodden in Abuja, share their angst and anxieties with them and try as much as possible to lighten up their year with tonnes of gifts and food items.
