Yes oO!
Gbenga, in fact, tell me where the party @, because this calls for more
than celebrations.
I'm not a father yet, but I know what sacrifice CCIE demands ... I've
been there before!
Anyway, something leap for joy in me whenever I here another Nigerian
trash CCIE ... It's our turn and time!
Take care and regards to your lovely daughter for us oO! She might end
up being the first Nigerian Female CCIE oO! You never know! Better start
teaching her how to ping now... :) hehehehhe; I'm so so happy for you
man!
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau
