NA BAI FORCE?
During a wedding reception, the groom was called upon to give his vote of thanks to his guest and it went like this:
*      I want to first of all thank Lord Almighty for creating my wife and to also thank the Pastor and his wife for lending us their wedding rings.
*      Special appreciation to my landlord who lent us his car.
*      I am most grateful to my boss for approving the loan I used for the wedding.
*      Big thanks to the committee of friends for the appeal fund they raised.
*      Also to my brother’s wife, thank you for lending us your wedding gown.
*      Am so grateful to the cake designer for the cake. I promise to return it tomorrow as agreed.
*      Special thanks to my friends who brought food from their homes to help me feed you all. Please for those who were served food, good luck and for those who didn’t get any, well, we will make it up to you during our children dedication hopefully next year.
*      Very big thanks to my parents for bringing the village cultural band to supply the music.
*      Not forgetting the church marriage committee, thank you for persuading my wife to marry me.
*      Appreciation to the married med in the church for rushing me into this marriage.
*      The women are not left out, thanks a lot for teaching my wife how to dance.
*      To the youths, thank you for sweeping and decorating this venue with palm fronds.
*      I am also grateful to my teenage friends for helping me with the zobo drink.
*      Well, I wish you all safe journey and I pray you don’t experience what I suffered for this wedding.

WELCOME

You are in the right place, at the right time (did I here you say wrong time?) Don't worry I won't tell Malam Nura. All the same, now that you are here, waste know time, start putting all your thoughts down, right them down! I mean type them now! Did you here that? OK, one good thing about this blog is that you can write anything, just express yourself in words. Tell us how you feel about all the recent happenings in school, especially the recent embargo placed on all elections in the Department.

As you do that, you can click here to check out my new poem titled The Strength in Adjustment. Please leave a comment on the poem, and others you can not but find on my blog.

Once again, I say SANU DA ZUWA!
