As he went out to carry his luggage, he met his friend who graduated from his high school in Ibadan. His friend’s name is To≥põ. Tunji was very happy to see this friend and he asked him what he was doing in London. To≥põ told him that he left Nigeria because of all the turmoil created by the constant closure of universities. He said after wasting three years at O˘labisi University at Ago≥-Iwoye, and without leaving the same class for three years, his parents decided to sponsor him to come to London so that he could finish his education in good time. Aside from the frequent problems associated with higher institutions, To≥põ said that the problems of armed robbers added to the reason why he became tired of living in Nigeria. One afternoon, some armed robbers broke into To≥põ’s house in Lagos. After threatening to kill them [Tope and his family], the robbers asked them to lie flat on the floor and close their eyes. One of these armed robbers kept watch over To≥põ and his family with the gun. The other three thieves went from one room to the other to look for what to steal. When they left To≥põ’s house, they took away their computer, television, radio and a lot of money. After this incident, To≥põ was tired of living in Nigeria and he bid Nigeria goodbye. To≥põ has not returned to Nigeria since then. Unit 13 265 Lafayette Hempstead, Long Island NY 11798 8/31/04 Tunji and my beloved sister, I am happy to write this letter to you. I returned to New York with joy and peace. I am writing this letter to thank both of you for the care you extended to me when I came to Nigeria. I thank you for all the places you took me to such as: iko≥gosi, Oke Olumo≥in Abõokuta, Oŏ≥ni’s palace at Ifõ, Bar beach in Lagos, Lõki, slave coast in Badagry and so on. I was very happy to see the different towns and all the places you took me to. Now I can say I know Yoruba land very well. I learnt a lot from many people I met. I learnt a lot about traveling. If anyone
260 Translations of the comprehension passages now says that the continent of Africa is poor, I know that as there is poverty in Africa, so is there great wealth in Africa. I now know that we cannot talk of Africa as if we are talking of only one country. Aside from Yoruba language that I learnt during the three months I spent in Nigeria, I also heard many people who also spoke different kinds of languages. As languages are so many in Nigeria, so are many cultures. I am praying that God will give me the opportunity to come back to Nigeria. My mom and dad extend their greetings. Extend my regards to Tunji’s parents and all your friends that I met in Nigeria. Goodbye. Yours sincerely, Carla Unit 14 WORK IS THE ANTIDOTE FOR POVERTY Work hard, my friend. We have to work to become a great man. If we do not have someone to support us, We might look like lazy people. If we don’t have someone to depend on, We have to work harder. Something we do not suffer for, Does not have a lasting impact. It is something we work hard for, That lasts longer. If the world applauds you today, If you have money It is then the world will want you tomorrow. Education can also make one a leader Be diligent in your studies. If you see a lot of people, That are nonchalant about education, Please, don’t imitate them. Suffering awaits a foolish child. Weeping awaits a vagabond. Don’t waste the time of your youth Work hard, time waits for no man.
