To all God’s generals
The works you did were several.
I salute all the true soldiers of Christ.
Those who sacrifice their lives.
In spreading the gospel world wide.
Those who were killed during religious crisis.
Jesus Christ recognizes your faces.

Those who died in the struggles.
The Lord has wiped away all your troubles.
To my Dad, Rev. Matthew T. Damakuk.
You created joy in the lives of your people.
Prof. Ishaya Audu.
Your name is printed in gold in the minds of those who know you.
Mrs. Josephine Anjugu.
You gave a helping hand to my crew.
We would continue to mourn you.
Until we join you.

Rev. Yakubu Yako.
I just want to say hello.
