By Ibrahim Kegbegbe If you were not after me when crawling  I wouldn't have thought of walking  I may not understand your talking drum  But not everyone thinks I am deaf and dumb   If truly destiny depends on the certificate  Why have I been admitted with the three letters, itk  What your name can't, I can with NIJ  If you doubt, you can ask Alinko Dangote No one has ever stopped me at the gate  Maybe what is in me is beyond Bill Gate's  I have never claimed the number one  But I have equipped boys in ND one  As a student of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism  I deal with conflicts with intellectualism
