Biko Agozino:

 

The lean man with the Iroko mind will not allow your congratulatory ink to dry! Get ready for another round of Congratulations. Virginia Tech opens this week with the announcement that he is their

 2020-2021 winner of Excellence in Outreach and International Affairs Award administered by the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. “The College Honors and Awards committee,” writes the Associate Dean, “carefully reviewed all of the nominations, and was most impressed with the strength of your dossier.In recognition of your efforts, you will receive a plaque and the amount of $-- for use in

professional development.” I removed the monetary figure because Farooq may want some of it!!!!

Congratulations, great man

Congratsssssssss, Comrade Biko. Prof Falola, this message is incomplete with the deletion of the "amount of $--" It would have helped us to determine the number of "s" to add to the congrats.

No surprise here. Congratulations Biko--very well deserved. But Oga Falola, please tell us the dollar amount so we'll determine what to ask for during the "washing."

Biko:

The cockerells your ancestors slaughtered in Virginia with their pidgin incantations are bringing you the anticipated gains.


Congratulations!

Many thanks to Kiki Iwin for announcing this but I wonder why he invited jealousy jealoma from all the longer throats wanting a share of my trader moni. You no hear say na for professional development to help me to buy your yeye books? Betta mus come!

Wishing you all bigger honors too so that we can keep celebrating in these difficult times.
