Thanks...

I think it's time to give my appreciation to some people, they are actually not some people, they are my very beloved friends

Solomon...I don't even know how to thank you and you say the same:-) Thank you for being my friend, for making this place bearable when I felt depressed, for giving me 4 plots of land in your village:-) for taking me out to dance in crazy Lagos, I will never forget Surulere dancing nights and the Shrine, thank you for being such a nice person among all the bad, you are a shining star my friend. I will allways be in touch with you and Sasa, you are making this country so beautiful.

Susy...My dear little sister, ex-member of DHWTVC:-) my friend who was allways there untill she started working, now she goes to bed at 8pm:-) Thank you for being such a good, funny and open friend, thank you so much for taking me to your country, those 17 days I'll never forget! By the way, even her mother doesn't know yet but she's pregnant!!! Congratulations Susy, I know you can't wait to see your baby and you wonder what kind of baby will come out of your belly, I'm sure it will be a great mixture of your beauty and Manoj's indian charm:-) I'm sure you will have a great and successfull career and a family. I'll definetaly come to visit you wherever you are and will cry when I see my little sister nursing her little baby. I love you girl!

Ebun...My very talented and multi disciplinary friend, a great and honest journalist and a successfull designer. Thank you for getting me into social life, concerts, events, arts and many more, thank you for opening your heart to me since the very moment I asked you ''will you come back to see me?'' at the orphanage, you allways came back. I love your adventurist, free spirit full of new ideas. I'll keep supporting you whole my life, I'm sure you'll be a very famous costume designer on Hollywood movie sets one day and you know I'm serious. Go girl!

Matron Julianna...E ka so Ma. I feel like your own daughter and you are one of the strongest woman I have met. I don't know how to thank you (I'm sure you'd be blessed if I decided to be a Christian, ha ha!), you are my mother Teresa, you are the hope and the mother for our children. Thank you for giving me all your support, thank you for being there with me when Sherriff fall sick and passed away, thank you for being honest, for giving me the best presents I have got in Nigeria(my Nigerian outfits), thank you for dedicating your life to the children of the world, because they need you so much. I hope and pray that every orphan has the privilage to have a mother like you.

Dr.Onyeji...You are just one of the few who is educated and dedicated in community development, a great doctor, a person with a golden heart. I don't know what to tell you after all you have done for my babies and especially for Sherriff. I meet him on my dreams, he is having a good time in heaven and he is so greatfull to you. You are the diamond of UNHCR and Nigerian Red Cross and you deserve better.

Julie and Julius Chilaca...I love you guys, you made my days more bearable in the heat of anger and hopelessness. Julius, thanks to you and Patricia I attended a wedding which I badly wanted to do:-) I wish you a happy and life lasting commitment. Don't mind the refugees:-)

My babies...You know I love you...Can't say more, I hope I could make you feel how much I loved you by the time I was there taking care of you. My dear children Ramotzu,Sylvia, Jeff, Sherriff and many more who passed away, I remember of you every single day and I pray for you. I'm sure you are much more happy in heaven.

Docas...My child...You don't know how I pray for you every day to get adopted by nice people. You have suffered enough and you don't deserve that, wherever I am in this world, I will allways do something for children like you, I will try my best to find adoptive parents for disabled children. I hope you know that I love you so much altough you nerved me sometimes:-) God will take care of you, that's my hope.

There are a few other people I'd like to thank; Mama cook(for being the most caring, loving and sensitive person in the orphanage, I love you Ma); Gloria, Lila, ACC:-) ,Mr. Umoh and Lucky for being friendly with me eventough I played rough most of the time.

Many thanks to all donors and partners of Nigerian Red Cross, i tried my best to prevent corruption and take the best care of the children with your donations.
