Okay.

May her soul RIP.

Next news please.

M

RIP ma

May her soul rest in peace


Very religious and good woman. I met her once when I was looking for work after graduation many years back. Though I couldn't get any through her but till today, I'm still appreciative of the little attention she gave me.

We all need to pay a little attention to people around us that need such attentions. We never can imagine how long our good or bad attitudes can be remembered in their lives.

Death will soon visit us all one after the other.

God comfort her family.

Egbaland or yorubaland There was never one yoruba land. We had empires and kingdoms. There is no such thing as iyalode of yorubaland.

She worked relentlessly to build and sustain Lawson schools.
May her soul rest in peace.

Egba is mourning.

This earthly sojourn is indeed but a stage.

You act your own scene and leave the stage.

The Jibokus have again lost yet another educationist.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

Death is a debt every human will surely pay one day. Lets live right.
