Beneath the hush of October’s sacred breath,
A child of rain and rhythm touched the clay;
Afaha’s womb had sung me into faith,
Where night and dawn exchanged their vows of day.
The forest hummed with psalms of ancient trees,
The soil was thick with whispers of the past;
Through hymns and dreams, I learned life’s melodies,
A flute of dust, by destiny outcast.
Each dawn I bloom through laughter, hope, and tears—
And still, I walk the circle of my years.

The drums of youth grew loud with fire and thought,
Each rhythm pulsed with hunger to become;
I sought the truths that struggle’s furnace taught,
And shaped my name from silence into psalm.
My hands first played the strings of want and prayer,
My soul, a stage of music and of pain;
The winds of shame became the songs I wear,
And faith restored the ruins that remain.
Through trials deep, my maker’s voice appears—
And still, I walk the circle of my years.

Now dawn returns in wiser shades of gold,
The boy of earth now speaks with heaven’s tone;
Through school and service, countless tales unfold,
Each line a seed in fields my father sown.
For in his dust, I found my rooted flame,
And in my cross, my calling redefined;
The stars still whisper softly of my name,
And bid my soul outlive the edge of time.
Through birth, through death, through grace that reappears—
And still, I walk the circle of my years.

I am the one God had shown mercy
Unworthy but He poured His love on me
I am indebtedly grateful to Him.
Everything non-compensating
Only to say Lord I am grateful and appreciative
Of all you had, have and shall do 🙏🙏

A GLORIOUS, REPLENISHED, BLESSED, PROSPEROUS, AND REWARDING BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF.

A BLESSED 38TH BIRTHDAY TO THE LAND OF PROMISE, AKWA IBOM STATE, MY MOTHER LAND.

📘 Understanding the English Alphabet and the Sounds They Represent

Learning English begins with the alphabet. But did you know that the alphabet letters are not the same as the sounds of English? Let’s break it down in a simple way.

🔤 The English Alphabet

English has 26 letters:
A – Z

These letters are the symbols we use in reading and writing.

👉 But letters alone don’t speak — they stand for sounds.

🎵 The English Sounds (Phonemes)

English is made up of about 44 basic sounds (called phonemes).

These sounds are what we actually hear and speak.

A single letter can represent different sounds, and sometimes a sound is represented by more than one letter.

✨ Examples of Letters and Sounds

1. Letter “A”

Can sound like /æ/ as in cat

Or /eɪ/ as in name

2. Letter “C”

Can sound like /k/ as in cat

Or /s/ as in city

3. Letter “O”

Can sound like /ɒ/ as in hot

Or /əʊ/ as in go

🔑 Key Takeaway

Letters are symbols.

Sounds are the speech we hear and produce.

To master English reading, speaking, listening, and writing, we must learn how letters connect to sounds.

📝 Why This is Important for Beginners

✔ Helps in correct pronunciation
✔ Builds reading fluency
✔ Improves spelling and writing
✔ Makes listening and speaking clearer

💡 Quick Tip

When learning new words, don’t just memorize the letters.

Say the sounds aloud.

Example: The word “dog” is spelled with letters D – O – G, but spoken with sounds /d/ – /ɒ/ – /g/.

✅ Mastering this basic skill is the foundation for better English.
