Nah . . . even unemployed grads have something to thank God for. They made it through school. Getting a job is just the next phase.
This thread is not strictly about celebrating success, just saying thanks to people who have impacted you positively one way or another.

Hmmmnnnnn, oro.

1, Almighty Allah.
2, My big brother, Keem, now CEO StanbicIBTC Stockbroking Ltd, for guiding me through, motivating and advising. Thruout all the stages of my education and till now. He is teh standard in the family and always looking forward to be like him
3, Dad, for providing the finance
4, Mum, for the prayers
5, Michael Taiwo, childhood friend, for building can-do spirit in me. Same primary school, secondary school and university. Could have settled for less in secondary school, and in Varsity in particular.
6, My bosses in places I have worked so far. My current boss is wonderful, so were my bosses in Vetiva. I have always been lucky to have good bosses everywhere I work.
7, My siblings, and extended family, for believing in me
8, My good friends, Busayo in particular, for staying by me all times.

9. To the beautiful Sikirat for helping you chop the moni

Thanks to papa for telling my teachers not to respect my brilliance but to flog the hell out of me to instill discipline.

Thanks to mama for quitting her job to give me the extra supervision I needed to be disciplined.

Thanks again to papa for keeping his promise of giving me one bottle of chilled coca cola each time I came first -- That was all he could afford but it worked wonders and I never missed it.

Thanks to God for it all.

MY BOTHER, YOU WILL ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION JUST DONT RELENT. DONT TELL PEOPLE YOU DONT HAVE A JOB COZ YOUR JOB NOW IS TO GET A JOB. ONE OF MY LECTURERS USED TO TELL US THAT THREE THINGS WILL WORK FOR US IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD ( FAVOUR MARKET) NOT ( LABOUR MARKET). AND THESE ARE (1) WHO YOU KNOW (2) WHAT YOU KNOW AND (3) DEVINE INTERVENTION. TO ME , IT IS THE LAST ONE THAT HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME. NOT EVEN THOSE I THOUGHT WILL HELP OR THE GRADE ON MY CERTIFICATE. VERY SOON YOU WILL SING A NEW SONG.

thank you[b] JESUS[/b] . . . because without you i'd never have made it this far.

My Dad . . . for telling me those who came first did not have 2 heads and i could be whatever i wanted if only i put in the effort. thank you for making me study for hrs every night rather than playing Tv games like my friends, thank you for telling me to work now and play later, best of all thank you for being a dad i can tell absolutely anything and who is always available to help me when i make mistakes . . . and oh thanks for making me finish Lacombes with so much cane and tears!  grin I thot you werent my dad then.

My mum . . . for taking all those breaks during long vacation to teach me maths, taking me out of public school so i could be a better student, for paying my GRE fee even when you had nothing on you. Its time to reap the fruits of your labour mom! thanks for being a fighter, a rock, my mentor and good friend! and thanks for those medical books at home too, they are the only reason i decided to read science instead of art afterall.

Mr. Anyanwu . . . my lesson teacher who ensured i finished my entire SSCE math and physics syllabus by the beginning of SS2.

The Oracle . . . you were the first person to believe in my talents, worked me hard and made me believe the sky was just the beginning. Rest in peace baba.

Ned Ballatori . . . one twenty minute call was all that set me on the long journey to grad school. I appreciate your patience, advise and encouragement even when i was on the verge of quitting! Your kind words a few minutes before my finals is one memory i will not forget anytime soon.

Chris Gramza . . . lol who said you cant have a school mother at 25?

All Praise is due to Allah, for to Him belongs the keys to all the treasures of the heavens and the earth!

To my Dad, who was my study partner throughout  primary and secondary school, and ensured I never came second position!

To my Dad, who told me on getting admitted to Ife " I finished from Ife in 1971 with a 2nd Class Upper, so if you go to Ife, and get a 2nd Class Upper, you have not done anything new!"  and hence I kept a CGPA above 4.5 from beginning to finish!

To my mum who gave up juicy medical jobs abroad and chose to stay in Naija with us, you are the world greatest mum, and made all the difference!

To my 6 friends in Ife who we all made 1st Class together, thanks for the support and friendship

To Deolu Akinyemi who first interviewed me on campus for P&G and chose me out of 500 students, I salute your courage despite our religious differences, and my being dressed up in a Nigerian traditional outfit

To Seyi Adeyemo, my manager @ P&G, you always said, "nothing is impossible, just tell me what you need to get it done!"  Ko ma lo bee!

To my cousins- ASOB & MOB, who motivated me to go for my MSC,and facilitated it all the way, you guys are great!

And for my cuurent mentors, Marshal & Kola, you guys rock!

To a best friend, mother, sister and convidant (MY LOVELY MAMA) though you are no more but i say a BIG THAN YOU. you thought me to be focused, hardworking and very determined. May your soul continue to rest in peace.

To my sibblings and "few" true friends. i love and appreciate you all.

To those clients who have stood like families, God bless you all

To those haters who have doubted me , without your hatred i wouldnt have been this successful (still aiming for GREATER THINGS).

To those numerous authors who have made me know there is always hope and room for improvement, i bought your books for less than $10 dollars but gained what money can never buy.


To God Almighty, even if i say a billion Alhamdulilahi, it can never translate to how much i appreciate what YOU have done in my life,

And to everyone out there, I LOVE YOU ALL
