I was birthed in 1988, throughout the power of whom? You inform me, for an infant that I was, I knowest not that was what then, or who did what. Yet as the Yorubas say, if a child does not fulfill the tale, he will certainly satisfy the rumor.

We are out a road as we think we are, no, we are not on the roadway we think are; we are on a cul-de-sac. And also what is worse?

We had hoped he would certainly cut his umbilical cord once he took the throne. To my dear Head of state I therefore say (how I like him so; I enjoy fellow writers), Goodluck seek thee not repose Listen to as thy guardian angel claim’ Thou art in the midst of enemies Enjoy and also hope.
