By Lagos births a rare gem. A woman whose life feels like poetry in motion quiet, powerful, steady.
Lagos, pause for a moment. Let’s celebrate a woman whose life is a tapestry of quiet strength, divine purpose, and an unshakable commitment to service Modupe Dada.
Sixty, a number that carries weight. Not just in years, but in wisdom, in battles fought with faith, in quiet victories unseen by the world, but felt in every soul she’s touched.
As she turns 60, we do not just mark years; we mark impact. We mark a life lived in devotion to her faith, her family, and to a cause far bigger than herself.
If you’ve ever crossed her path, you’ll agree: Modupe Dada is not just a woman, she is a movement cloaked in grace. A prayer warrior, a pastor’s wife, and an adept lover of God, she carries her faith like a fragrance gently, but undeniably.
From the bustling streets of her beginnings to the polished corridors of Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre, her journey has been anything but ordinary. She has lived through Lagos’ rhythm, its beauty, its chaos, its culture, and still walks with elegance, precision, and an ever-present calm.
Her role as Director of Operations at Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre & Specialist Hospital has shown us what proficiency and resilience truly look like. In a space where precision, compassion, and clarity are non-negotiable, she leads with a standard of excellence that inspires everyone around her.
Her presence at Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre has redefined what it means to lead with compassion and excellence. With remarkable resolution power and a heart fixed on purpose, she’s proof that spirituality and structure can walk hand in hand. She builds, she nurtures, and she lifts.
But beyond the accolades and administrative brilliance, there’s a woman who’s fought silent battles with folded hands and tear-stained Bibles. A woman who knows that strength is not loud, but unbending.
She is the woman who prays deeply, leads gently, and stands firmly. Her silence teaches, Her presence commands respect. Her laughter rare, but radiant is a healing balm in itself.
At Marcelle Ruth, she doesn’t just manage operations she mother’s excellence. She shows us what it means to serve with skill and heart.
At 60, she stands not just tall in years but tall in legacy. She reminds us that you can love deeply, lead fiercely, serve quietly, and still change the world.
But perhaps her most beautiful role is the one not found on any résumé or magazine, the devoted wife of a pastor, the one who prays until something breaks, the backbone behind many miracles, the strength behind a pulpit.
Dear Lagosians, let this be your reminder:
Life is not about making noise, it’s about making meaning.
And Modupe Dada has made more than meaning she has made history.
She has walked through seasons of motherhood, womanhood, leadership, and faith and still shines. And while Lagos is known for speed, hustle, and noise, Modupe Dada reminds us that legacy is built in the quiet, faithful, daily decisions.
Dear Lagosians,
Let’s celebrate a woman who teaches us that dignity is timeless, that prayer is power, and that the most successful lives are the ones rooted in service.
With love,
Dear Lagosians
