“I obtained BSc and MSc degrees in Geography from Cambridge, before attending Simmons College in America, for a master’s degree in Library Science.”

“I have a baptismal certificate signed by the mission. The date of my birth was in that baptismal certificate.”

“The day we met, it was like I met an old friend. It was fantastic. We started talking as if we had always known each other. He was wonderful. When we met later, I read his papers and critiqued them. It was fantastic.”

“I love music. I love classical music. That was the thing that first brought us (my husband and me) together. My husband loved classical music and I still do. I have a library in Ibadan for the collection of classical music.”
