‎Big, Big Congratulations, Baba Agbalagba, Eegun Ologbojo, Ako Erinmi a bori poola!!! (Ologbojo the biggest and most feared of masquerades; the male Hippopotamus with the massive head!) 

This is another well deserved recognition of your ever amazing contribution to scholarship, globally. The Kludge Center has chosen a perfect pair that will definitely bring to bear their innovativeness, imaginativeness and dynamism into its activities in order to enrich, the more, existing works.  It is the reward of your penchant for diligence and commitment to quality knowledge production.

 It is such a great relief for one's works and worth  to be so acknowledged, and to be so honored while one is alive and still productive on all sides. Baba Agbalagba, please keep up the good work. Long may you live. Ase Edumare.

Prof Falola sir:

You continue to amaze and inspire us with your unrelenting pursuit of excellence and your unmitigated desire to shatter the boundaries of knowledge as the world knows it. We are proud of you sir. You prove to us over and over and over and over yet again that there is no limit to the distance we can go, and no barriers to the mountains we wish to climb, except our very own selves.

God be with you on this assignment and may He make it fruitful beyond all human measure.

Congratulations sir.
