When Yaradua died, he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "Welcome, M-Y. We've heard a lot about you." He continued, "Unfortunately, it's getting pretty crowded up here and we find that we now have to give people an entrance examination before we let them in."
"Okay," said M-Y. "I hope it's not too hard. I've already been through various test before coming here. My mama used to say, 'Life is like a final exam. It's hard.' "
"Yes, M-Y, I know. But this test is only three questions. Here they are."
1) Which two days of the week begin with the letter 'T'?"
"Well, sir," said M-Y, "The first one is easy. Which two days of the week begin with the letter 'T'? Today and Tomorrow."
St. Peter looked surprised and said, "Well, that wasn't the answer I was looking for, but you have a point. I give you credit for that answer."
2) How many seconds are in a year?
"The next question," said M-Y, "How many seconds are in a year? Twelve."
"Twelve?" said St. Peter, surprised and confused.
"Yes, sir. January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd …"
St. Peter interrupted him. "I see what you mean. I'll have to give you credit for that one, too."
3) What is God's first name?
"And the last question," said M-Y, "What is God's first name? It's Baba."
"Baba?" said St. Peter, in shock. "How did you come up with 'Baba'?"
"You See, I learned it in naija. as We used to sing about it." broke into song, "Baba you too much OOOOOO........, Baba.............lawo , Baba 70...................., Babasanjo............................. Babatitu................ Babaturayi..............."
St. Peter opened the gate to heaven and said, "Run, Baba-ayua, Run!"
