Adeola:
Congratulations upon your grand achievement! I have no doubt you will
continue to sparkle along the trail of academia. You are a gift to Africa.
Let your light shine toward a better and changing future. I will miss your
poetic rendition. However, old memories will remain forever. I wish you
well and May Allah continue to be with you as you strive ahead.
I will try to have one final Madison chat with you before you "disappear."
Have a fun day.
Askia
