ReplyDelete@ Billie Jean, Pa Amodu was a friend of my grandfather. They worked in LUTH together for years and he stays in Satellite town. He isn't an illiterate as you might think.He looks young for someone who is eighty. Negative comments aren't necessary. He loves school and he enjoys reading what is so bad about that?
ReplyDeleteSo na to go NYSC na im go remain shebi? *lol*
ReplyDeletegrandpa, congrats sir, no mind dem, dey are just beefing you. ask dem, how many of dem can actually defend the so-called cert. dey flaunt about today? yeye people, instead make una appr. d man, som of una are not only beefing but fishing him too. olodo people.
ReplyDeleteon a serious note, who told you he cant get employed. siddon there. majortiy dey civil service today wey don nearly reach hin age but refused to retire.
