TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR STORY & YOUR HERITAGE – BY TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ

The West Africans will tell you that their Jollof rice is the best

The East Africans will tell you that their Pilau rice is the best.

The Caribbeans will tell you that their Rice and peas is the best,

The Indians will tell you that their Biriyani rice is the best

The Spanish will tell you that their Paella rice is the best.

The Italians will tell you that their Risoto rice is the best

Every son and daughter will tell you that their mothers rice  is the best .

THE BEAUTY IN THIS IS TO TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR STORY AND YOUR HERITAGE .
