Oga Men (sounds familiar?)
I must say, it's been a privilege meeting and knowing you lots ...
Tfash, achachik .... You guys are amazing and deserve all the goodies
that comes with achieving the magic number ...
I've never meet someone so commited and so worried about getting the
CCIE out of the way, who can blame you, a school of thought believed
CCIE is the most difficult exam in the whole world and yea, I now
understand their point of view. Na una biko now oO! (You guys are now in
vogue!)
This is just the beginning of good things to come, first ... Redirect
your career ship (you know what I'm talking about); second ... When is
the next conference call for SP and Voice ... Since tfash is dealing
voice, and yourself looking up to SP next, make I humble squeeze in the
middle now ... Hehehehe (as in study voice with tfashy and then sp with
yourself .... Wouldn't that be amazing!)
I've always treated your guys as a family member and it's so good to
hear that I'm the only one left! To get this thing done! What a
fantastice feeling!
Less I forget, nna biko (Please mate), GO AND GET MARRIED!
To the well deserved Mr. 18904 as I predicted! (At least I got the first
3 digits right!, init?)
From My humble self, Mr 190xx, Peace Out!
Yemi Salau

Subject: IT'S DONE. CCIE#18904
Guys....for soooooo long i have waited for this opportunity,...to tell
you
guys...I DID IT!! Hmmm.....what a journey. It all started in 2002 in a
friend's car..i saw a CCNA book at the back of his car.... (whom a lot
of
you might know...his name is kunle Ayodele..## CCIE) and after going
through
it for a while, i fell inlove with Cisco. I made CCNA in 2003 after i
finished college....further pursued my Cisco career.....made CCNP in
2005...then i thot to myself.....hmmmm....."how 'bout i give the CCIE
lab a
shot"? I knew it wasnt gonna be easy, but i did not expect it to be that
hard and gruelsome. I started studying fully for the lab in mid 2006,
.....not until i met some Godsent gurus.
I will be honest.....giving God all the glory, i owe my success to these
two
guys.....trust me...they are the best you can ever come across...they
are
Tayo Fashina (aka Mr. T) and Yemi Salau (Aka Oga yemo). Guys....i cant
thank
you enough.....Mr. T,....first off, i want to congratulate once again
for
getting your number two weeks ago,....it was a huge motivation for
me....thank you for all the times you'd stay up so late....so you could
teach me some stuff...sir...the knowledge you impacted in me in highly
invaluable.....may the good lord bless you for everything.
Hmmm....yemo.....BABA!! World, look out for this guy.......he's pretty
young,.....but he's a loaded gun. Where you get you knowledge from....i
honestly dont know.......and when i told you i owe you a lot...i meant
it.
Thank you for your patience with me when teaching me QoS
(hehehehe)....no
one else in this group deserves their number as much as you do.....i'm
ready
to clear my account now o.....cos i wan carry you go chop ise ewu (that
includes you Mr. T).
The Brians,....how can i ever forget you guys? I thot i knew
Cisco,...not
until i stumbled across the CoD and IEWKs......in my opinion, they are
the
best in the industry.....i'd recommend them time and time again.
Hash and Kunle Ayodele....how can i ever forget you
guys......Hash.....aka
aboki....i'd never forget you constantly telling me...("man...make you
pass
this thing")...constantly assisting me,.....always there to answer my
questions.....i really cant thank you enough. Kunle.....you are a
Diamond in
the rock....people think you have arrived, but i say this is just the
beginning for you...God will lift you higher than you can ever think or
imagine....thanks guys.
Nisha....never before in my life seen a lady so knowledgable.thanks for
answering my last minute call before i left for Belgium. Yours is next.
My little story in Brussels.
- Unlike my previous attempts (this was my third attempt), i woke up a
few
minutes before 7am (had a very good night sleep..even watched the
championship game)
- got to Cisco systems with my PSP .....play some solitaire before going
in.
- Said a prayer before starting my lab
- after lunch, the fire alarm broke out,....they had to evacuate
everyone
from the building including us candidates......wondered if that was part
of
the lab exam (laughs!!)
- finished so early, that i had time to sleep a little.
- Got back to london in the eve.....did not get an email from cisco as
at
12am. Went to bed thinking i failed again......woke up at 4am to check
my
breakdown......lo' and behold'.......i nailed it.
Now i can go to bed with the mind that you dont have to be superhuman to
make CCIE. Cheers.
