Even though we are brothers and friends, you have done us good, and in times like this, it is good we come to thank you. But seeing what we did, and because of the good leader that you are, you have to retaliate, and this is the third time this is happening.

So, on behalf of the government and good people of our dear state, we are still saying thank you, and this will continue until when God says it is our time to go.
