Thanks everyone for wishing us well. May God bless you for the trust you have in us, Amin.
We are Nupe students of philosophy (hon). Every good child of African literature would wishes to be like Chinua Achebe and Wale Soyinka the gods of African literature. I am sure that some of us will never be left out in this trend. We pushed to get to this level to the extent of bagging a Professorship Award for our native; Nupe. The achievement could be unclear but even the Almighty God said we should not stop seeking for knowledge. What is not clear to us and our spirits is the passion for Nupe Language. Is this really a dream or a nightmare?
In this crusade, we are not in the school of thought that says “wait, it will come.” We go for it….
Power is from God. He share it amongst the living. Some of us that are crawling feel great, what of those who are already taking steps? Life is like a rise of a stairpath. Rush it or not, you will get to the base. Lastly, everything na turn by turn.
See, the society has given us the best it can, let us reciprocate. If you have money use it rightly, if you have an energy, use it, all are useful. None is a waste.
Look, one day, the children from the poor would be the ones standing behind the podium. Yes, it will surprise you as you watch it in steps.
Thank you everyone. Thanks for all.
