While it is not a given, the odds are that a good father would beget an ideal son.
In the case of Folorunsho Folarin-Coker, the Director-General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), the saying has been proven to be true.
Popular as Folly Coker, the bespectacled, fair-complexioned, and hardworking man certainly takes after his late father, Chief Nathaniel Folarin-Coker.
For years, the younger Folarin-Coker has emulated the virtues of his dad, almost bringing it to par when he was recently conferred with the chieftaincy title of the Baba Eto of Ilara Kingdom in Epe Local Government of Lagos State.
The event which was held on Thursday, August 19, saw His Imperial Eminence, Ooni of Ife and Adimula of Yorubaland, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, installing the amiable man with the title synonymous with that once held by his late father.
Present at the event which was held in commemoration of the first anniversary of the enthronement of the Alara of Ilara Kingdom, HRM, Oba Olufolarin Olukayode Ogunsanwo, Telade IV were eminent personalities including the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon and Vice-Chairman, Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs, HRM, Oba Francis Olushola Alao.
Also present were Archie Duke, Akin Oshomo, Tope Adegbite, Ronke Oyinbo, Funke Kuti, Seun Wey, Femi Shittu, and several others.
Ayo Ajekigbe of Faith Music supplied exclusive entertainment for Folly Coker and his guests following the conferment ceremony.
