Thanks for boosting the image of Modákẹ́kẹ́ and her dynamic natives.
It’s our joy having a seed in the glowing world. We really appreciate the arms looking back and seeing to uplifting of us, young ones. It’s our prayer that we keep on progressing.
Please, we need details on the upcoming akoraye day.
Glory be to God for this Great achievement of one of us. God will continue to elevate our home land Modakeke Akoraye to the Greatest Height in Jesus name.
This is heartwarming and a thing of pride for Akoraye home and abroad.
It should be used as a case study to motivate and challenge our youths and young ones especially in the midst of social vices that is drawing them away from education and other time tested routes that made our parent successful.
