Thank you, Ada. Truly, thank you.
Last year’s Asafotufiami was a special experience for me and my family but this year’s celebration was something else entirely.
I’ve been privileged to receive warm receptions in many places I’ve visited. But you, Ada, have always given me more than just a welcome: you have opened your doors and embraced me as one of your own.
Over the past few days, the vibrant cultural displays, the beauty of your traditions, the heartfelt hospitality, and the strong sense of community have made us feel completely at home. My family and I have been surrounded by kindness, empathy, and a genuine warmth that has touched us deeply.
This selfless outpouring of love and care means the world to us.
Thank you, Ada. Thank you.
