I'm not too pleased with you. Go away. Are you better today than you were
yesterday? You say a lot for one who is innocent.
"Get back to the old farm, for the rodents are pricking on your groundnut
farm (GDP). You should let anger subside now. They want you back there. That

I don't understand. Are you trying to tell me something? I'm slow when it
comes to riddles.
Haruna. Faranfansi yourself please. MQDT. Masoud. Darbo. I don't know what
you did to Suntou but you beta turn him over to me. You must admit, Galleh has
a way of breaking the friggin ice. It was so thick in here you need a
friggin Jassy to cut the darn cake, and eat it too.

Haruna,
You must be full of humor today, or are you bored? But Dr. Choot Choot
Hepati have too many qualifications to be little Yero. You got me laughing for the
tag. How about Dr. Chaat Chaat? I would think there are better Dr.
Choots-Choots around. Which of the Choot-choots? -Choot-choot by birth, choot-choot by
entrustment, choot-choot by accident or choot-choot by achievement. They
said “Uneasy lie the head with the crown,” so stop walking with a chip on the
shoulder. Develop a thick skin and don’t be Dr. Choot Choot Hepati yourself.
If you got the qualifications to wear a dried cap, you must as well admit
guilt of wearing it. Reading the prose, Dr. Choot-choot would make a better
personality than the many other characters written in the past.
Get back to the old farm, for the rodents are pricking on your groundnut
farm (GDP). You should let anger subside now. They want you back there. That
much I observed. Go back and fence your farm.
Regards,
Yero.
