Graduating from University
Going for my NYSC Posting and getting it completed
Leaving an independent life
Getting married
Giving birth
Watching my children grown into a full fledged adults
Being present as they marry one after another and enjoying an aged life with them
Celebrating my golden jubilee in marriage
Marking one hundred years on earth
Exiting this planet earth after my first son marked his seventh birthday.
Being in heaven with the host of angels singing Hallelujah to the most high God with His son Jesus Christ being present at His right hand side.
Hmm, so your dying and leaving behind a seven year old son is or will be one of your favorite Rites of Passage ?

You didn't 'enter' boarding school. . . .you got admitted into or gained admission .

You're probably Yoruba. . . hence the direct mis-translation. . . . "mo wo boarding school" into English.

Once again sory to pick on this,but its quite relevant. . .cheers  wink
