MAYOWAAK: Once upon a time, a man named Tai Solarin and his wife Sheila founded the Mayflower School in Ikenne,Ogun State. The Late Tai Solarin and his wife were unrepentant 'atheists'. Yet, christians, muslims, traditional worshippers sent their kids to the school because of the quality of education. The school flourished and produced some of the best brains in Nigeria of today. In spite of the quality, the school fees wasn't out reach of the average Nigerian family. Tai Solarin and his wife though atheists, their legacy forever lives on. Now the question is, how many 'Christian' families can afford to send their kids to the current 'Christian' private school founded by popular pentecostal movements? Moral of the story, you need not to wear a white collar or grow long beard to impact on humanity. Service to humanity is not a religious matter.
WORD.....

Exactly! This makes me wonder about the reasoning of many Nigerians sometimes. Even those who claim to be educated.

For instance, how has Dame Patience Jonathan contributed meaningfully to anybody's life?

Sheila Solarin left her country more than 60 years ago to help build a Nigeria that no one cared to build.

She lived a simple and exemplary life. Modest in dressing and was very humble; always in her khaki skirt and short sleeve blouse. Never saw her wear any make up. Mother and friend to those who seek knowledge. Remember some of her assembly addresses.
Remember those days in junior sch when she read our mid term comprehension passage to us. Sometimes when walking along i saw her in her office marking several essays written by students free of charge. We will trully miss u ma. Rest in peace.

Patience has contributed to their lives and is their favourite First Lady because she distributed rice before the election.

Awon fucktards! People destroy their lives, destroy the local healthcare system to the point they die on average by the age of 49 (one of the lowest 10 life expectancy in the world) and then the lifedestroyers/looters and their family go abroad with taxpayer's money to get quality healthcare (e.g. Maryam, Patience, Stella and Umaru Yaradua while his wife seized the presidency), the fucktards are now congregating to elect which is the best that impress them the most.

Fcking black moorons!

Awon baboons!

Good to see so many ex-mays on Nairaland. I remember madam marking my essays free of charge. It was an honor knowing her and Doctor. I remember back in my day, doctor would be waiting for us at 5:15 am in the morning without his shirt for our morning exercises or "Physical Jerks".
The education and reasoning I got from there was solid...
This woman left the comforts of the UK to come suffer with her husband in an unknown country and stuck with him for over 60 years. Compare this with some (not all) of our ladies today who will tell a young man with a vision that "they didn't come to the world to suffer"
RIP madam....sheila obinrin ogun....sheila obinrin rere...great woman...I would never forget you!

Abeg more stories like this about a great woman that changed Nigerians' lives and we refuse to celebrate.

Nigerians will rather celebrate Atiku (the billionaire civil servant) than to celebrate Beko Ransome-Kuti.
