When you are called Ogben -EBE in my native dialect
You are not only recognized as the civilized one – you are also seen as the heart of that team
You Esi are at the heart of what we do in this family
And it’s not just a matter of title or position – truth is even back in class, you stood out
You contributions came with the sauce, the fire and the full works
They was symbolic of one who no dey look Uche face.
Hawt
Hot
It was
Yet we loved it
The emotions were true
They were total
And they got us thinking too
You indeed are firebrand
Yes, you never missed an opportunity to make your contribution to what was happening
You voice speak in very certain form and you take no prisoners
You love for our motherland and quest for its greatness is unrivalled in every way
Thank You for your zest
We love you for you
And pray God’s acceptable year as this new year unfolds
Happy Birthday Our Dear Scribe
We celebrate you Esi
