This is one renowned Isoko Philanthropist cum Chartered Accountant whose wealth has eventually affected every Isoko clan in Lagos State and beyond. As a former President of Isoko Development Union (IDU) Lagos branch, he was one of the egg-head leaders that brought creative leadership to the union. He believes in the oneness of Isoko nation where in every occasion of Isoko nation, he wants to add his philanthropic gesture to it and today, both federal and state governments have recognised this great Isoko philanthropist in Nigeria.
One thing you cannot take away from High Chief Paul Odhomor is integrity and intellectual prowess in life. He is a man with few words but his body language tells on the volume of love he has for Isoko nation.Isoko Development Union in Lagos cannot forget Paul Odhomor in hurry because of his magnanimous attitude towards Isoko nation.
As a trained financial expert, he knows what it takes to control money without spending it out but decides to give to the society without a second thought of life.At 60, Odhomor has not just affected a generation on earth only but also generation unborn in Isokoland.His philanthropic gesture never started today, but having understood the principle of giving in the Holy Bible,Odhomor has become a voice to identify with in Isokoland.
Again, as far Delta State politics is concerned till today, Odhomor has a stake in every political leadership. He was sometime recognised by a former Delta State governor as the most renowned Isoko philanthropist ever birthed. He carries everybody along in his open-handed lifestyle and Isoko history books cannot be completed without adding Paul Odhomor’s name to it. At his 60th birthday, great encomiums were showered on him without mincing words but the facts remain that how many Isoko philanthropists can do it? Intellectual greediness has been eliminated in the life of Paul Odhomor over the years where he takes other peoples’ problems as his own. His philanthropic legacies are worthy to be emulated in all ramifications. He is not a maudlin personality but a man that sees Isoko nation in his heart. He is one Isoko man who does not pretend to be an Isoko in a public domain but ready to offer any financial assistance at his own capacity. If every man is like Paul Odhomor, Isoko nation will move ahead of other regions in Nigeria. He has received several meritorious awards through his humanitarian services to society. He is a man that loves excellent performances in leadership with credibility.
Lastly, God has divinely blessed him with a wife that has passionate love for the downtrodden in the society. He remains the Ellu-born Philanthropist with large heart in Isoko region. Once again, happy birthday and more glorious years ahead of you in life sir.
