ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The news of the birth of the baby boy born at 4.24 p.m., the third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom, was announced at about 8.30 on Monday, 22 July, 2013.

According to the “Yoruba Proverbs” as translated by Oyekan Owomoyela “Good fortune does not arrive without being trailed by the sound of the gudu-gudu drum” meaning (Good fortune must be greeted with rejoicing), the shout of joy that was herald by the entire world was surely more than the gudu-gudu drum. The entire country, the prominent and the lowly have been rejoicing with the paternal Great-grandmother – Queen Elizabeth II, the paternal Grand-father, the father and Mother, Duchess Kate and Prince William since the news was broken to the teaming Journalists and the public that have been awaiting for this news. The Military gave twenty-one gun salute to welcome the new baby to the world.

Congratulations to the new father and mother as well as the entire family.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The Politicians, the Church, Family and the people of the United Kingdom came together to pay their last respect to the late Soldier, Drummer Lee Rigby that met his untimely death in the hands of duo Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale. The Town stood still by lining the Street while the burial procession to the Church.

Yoruba adage said “It is better to die honourably at young age than to age with disgrace”. This adage showed that even though Lee Rigby was only 25 years at the time of the unfortunate death, he was given a burial befitting for the King. Those who cut his live short are in prison to age with disgrace in prison.

May God console his family especially his young son. Rest in peace Drummer Lee Rigby.

The funeral service for Late Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher – the first female Prime Minister in the United Kingdom, was held on Wednesday, April 17, 2013, she bade the world farewell on April 8, 2013. She passed on at the age of 87.

A Yoruba adage says: “The dead is weeping for the dead, while the mourners are weeping for themselves”, this means that there is no one who will not die: rich, poor, young, old, Politicians, King/Queen and Chiefs will die when it is time, as a result, those weeping are weeping for themselves, those angry are angry at themselves because the dead is gone.

The weather was good, the funeral service went well without any hitch.

Sleep on, Late Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher, farewell.
