You work hard and strive to do good deeds it will surely come with good fortune, either today or tomorrow. Diligence is needed, resilience becomes a condiment, dexterity is the chili, and commitment and dedication seasons it to a more palatable cuisine of success.

Oh professor. We join the whole electorates of the Faculty of Arts, UNIZIK, to congratulate you on this NEW CAP wishing you more grace and strength as we wrap it up with a prophecy from Bob Marley-WHO THE CAP FITS

“Man to man is so unjust, children
Ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could beee your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind dem su-su(gossip) pon(upon) you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it [repeat]
Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying, "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to e-li-min-ate you
But who Jah bless,no one curse
Then God will past the worse

Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away
And who the cap fit let them wear it [repeat]

And then a gonna throw me corn
And then a gonna call no fowl
And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will eat and drink with you
And then behind they su-su pon you
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people will run away
Who the cap fit, let them wear it [repeat]
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Bdddddddddddddat big ups to JAH”

The message is clear. Ahoy!
