Everything around Professor Barineme
Beke Fakae is a success. His life is an
enviable one. He can be described as
the man with the “Midas touch”.
At 58 years, he has achieved so much
yet, I have heard him say “this is just
the beginning” and I am wondering,
what beginning?! Are you wondering
too?
Come out of your wonderland as we
celebrate this man at 58 for there are
more grounds to be conquered.
Congratulations Sir!!!
