Hmm....such great words!! I'm glad you made the 18xxx mark....like i always
said,...you always deserved your number,...the question was...WHEN?!!
Man...at such tender age,....with such fire burning inside of you, you sure
are UNSTOPPABLE!! No worry...we go soon climb the train again....getting
warmed up for the Security Track. It brings loads of joy to my heart,
knowing that Nigerians all over the world arent been left behind....we seem
to make things happen here on GS....yeah....to add to what Yemi
said,....what makes a boxer a CHAMP aint the number of people he's knocked
out, but the number of times he picks himself up....and keeps moving
forward....taking punches,..and saying to himself..."no!! not
today!!"....the he's a true CHAMP.
Bro....this is a good sign of very great things to come bro...and
Kunle....aka K K MONEY!!....yeah...i believe someday we can do great things
back home....(remember back in school we always talked about it with
Fowowe...and trust me bro....that brother's grabbing his number pretty
soon).....My last words...."SUCCESS IS NEVER ENDING, FAILURE IS NEVER
FINAL!!"
