I thought she was deaf the 1st time I met her. Said few words and listened more. Got to like her a lot over time. May her soul rest in peace. Someone who educated a generation is a national hero., Compared to our rougue leaders.

Just curious, did a lot of you guys call her by her first name(Sheila)? was this a request by her? did she speak and understand yoruba at all?
