He passed on around midnight yesterday June 10, 2020 in a private hospital near his home.
He was ill briefly, (not Covid-19).We are celebrating him!
He lived a good life and was 88 upon his death.

I wondered how Chimamanda came to literary stardom at such a young age. Now I see where she got the brains from..... The dad and Mom...

R.I.P Prof

May his soul rest in peace!

Rest in peace sir...

Lesson;
Get married to someone as you are...Some educated people end up with semi- illiterates or educated taut.. At the end,they run back to nairaland for solutions...

More Prof are on the way from Chimamanda's family.
