Michele Niyang is the current Ms. AUN of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), located in the serene City of Yola, Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria.
She is a highly intelligent lady in her final year. She usually records some programs at the University's broadcast studio under the Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD) Department where she is an undergraduate. As a very active participant during class lessons, she has been displaying what it takes to be a truly critical thinker, advertising creative strategies professional and capable ambassador of the institution. Hence, she feels the best way to express her gratitude to one of her noteworthy tutors is through the poem below:
BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
Michaele Niyang, the reigning Ms. AUN |
Where ideas flow like sparkling streams,
There stood a guide, so wise, so true,
Mr. Blessed, with a wondrous view.
With gentle words and steady hands,
He led us through creative lands.
A world of ads, both bold and sweet,
Where art and strategy would meet.
But more than headlines, fonts, and
flair,
He showed us something rich and rare—
That poetry, with heart and grace,
Has a place in every space.
A rhyme can sell, a verse can speak,
A simple line can make us think.
He taught us how to blend and weave,
To craft ideas that make minds believe.
For ad’s not just to catch the eye,
But tell stories and let dreams fly
high.
And who knew words, so soft and small,
Could change the world, could do it all?
So here’s to you, a guiding light,
Who made us see the world in flight.
A blessing true, a name well-earned,
For every lesson, every turn.
Thank you, sir, for all you’ve shared,
For teaching us to dream and dare.
With rhymes in hand, we now can see,
The boundless world of creativity.
