Aaah. . .Maedan mi, jo many binu ojare
As you celebrate this your mama-born me day
May all the good things of life come your way
And may blessings fall upon you like sun rays
Just rmber se no be your power, na by em grace
So make you go do special thanksgiving to the Lord
And live your life henceforth according to his word
Anyhow sha, make u no vex sey I no quick show face
Na becos of my involvement in  the unending rat-race
Once again, I wish you the very best of life
Devoid of all the pain, hardship and strife

Happy belated birthday, my cyber-friend

Yes, I remember 'Time Changes Yesterday'. It was written by Nyengi Koin I think. It was one of the compulsory literature books I read in JSS 3. . . .very interesting novel. . .aaah, I still remember how little Enitan went about matchmaking her dad and her teacher, lol

@ topic
I read as if my life depended on it back in sec schl. I still recall how I bought Sidney Sheldon's Doomsday Conspiracy and used it to exchange, borrow and read all the Sheldon's that were in circulation in my school then. Name it, I read all the known foreign authors from Enid Blyton, Carolyn Keene (of Nancy Drew fame), James Hardley Chase, Sidney Sheldon, Robert Ludlum, Jackie Collins, Harold Robbins, Danielle Steele, Judith McNaught, Jeffrey Archer, Frederick Forsyth etc. As in, I read every back then. I recall there was a Jeffrey Archer novel (The 11th Commandment) that my elder brother borrowed from a friend when I was in JSS 3. He had only 2 days to read it and he said he was returning it unfailingly on the 2nd day. He dropped the book when he finished reading it around 8pm at night. . . . I then picked up the book and read it overnite without sleeping cos he was returning it in themorning. . .Yes, I was that FANATICAL back then. As for those pacesetters like Mark of the Cobra by Valentine Alilly, Coup by Kalu Okpi, The Worshippers by Victor Thorpe etc, the African Writer Series novels and other African novels by other publishers. . .I read most of them during the long hols between school in the village cos my Dad's Library was stocked with these novels. Now, I hardly read anymore as I'm addicted to browsing and watching movies. . . . .aah, so SAD. I wish I could go back to those days when I read a lot but I know it ain't possible. . .no time, lol
