Sarah Adenike Morocco-Clarke Dies At 80 (Nigeria's First Female Banker) by FlirtyGist: 11:33am On Sep 24, 2018
Dr. Sarah Adenike Morocco-Clarke, Nigeria's first female banker, has died at the age of 80.
Born on the 13th of May 1938, the Morocco-Clarke matriarch passed away peacefully on Sunday, 16 September 2018, after a short illness.

Sarah Morocco-Clarke, an alumnus of Queen's College Lagos, Nigeria, started her career with First Bank (then Bank of British West Africa, and subsequently Standard Bank) as a pioneer female employee, rose through the ranks at First Bank Nigeria and was made the Services Manager and Secretary to the South Administration, wherein she had a mandate that covered the services of all the First Bank branches in Southern Nigeria.

While she worked in the banking industry, Sarah Morocco-Clarke was the manager of numerous First Bank branches in Lagos and was subsequently made a Regional Manager in charge of Bendel, Ogun and Oyo states.

She was also an Area Manager in the Western part of Nigeria. Popularly known as the 'Iron Lady' , a moniker seemingly taken from references to the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, Sarah Morocco-Clarke was given this nickname because of her stern mien and no-nonsense attitude professionally.

The Morocco-Clarke matriarch leaves behind six successful children, thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Yes na, It's your father who stole the money.

Because you were brought up with stolen money, that's why your life looks like a pig's leftover.

A message from @alibabagcfr -
Every relationship is different.
Compare only apples to apples.
Don't compare apples to mangos. Everyone grows up through different influences and trajectory. The person then gets shaped by those things and become the person you then encounter. There are some people who do not experience certain things all through their growing up years, when that person in question then encounters a situation, that that experience should have strengthened them with, they get torn apart by the shock of it.

Some women can take polygamy. They can be second wife, 6th wife, concubine, side chick, jilted at the altar, baby mama, widow, divorced... and continue like nothing happened. While some will break down beyond consolation. Many will break up with a guy and never date again. But there are those who take it in their strides without breaking a sweat. Stop comparing your partners to other people. The fact that Gbenga takes Kemi to go see a movie every other day doesn't mean you must insist on being taken. Because, you may just be surprised that Gbenga also doesn't pay for the movies. So how about that? Will you also now pay for the movies?

Bimbo always brings food for her husband in the office. Bless her. So because of that you are now quarrelling with your wife for not bringing you food just like Bimbo. Do you know if Bimbo's husband has a medical condition that requires food that can only be made with special recipe? Don't compare your spouse to people who have not gone through the fire your spouse went through.

Angela may have been brought up to believe 30 red roses matter more than a phone. Isohen may just be one who was brought up to be practical. A phone will last longer than 100 roses.

Don't let shame make you agree to what is beyond your capacity. If your colleague bought a car for his wife, are you enabled like your colleague? If David let's his wife move to Canada and he remains here, it's not compulsory for Ahmed to let his wife move to Ireland while he remains in Kaduna. It might not work. Be guided
