Read Chief Ilori who was a classmate of Mr Ojeifo at Ansar-Ud-Deen Comprehensive High School in Owo, Ondo State, circa 1978-82: “ I, Chief Martins Temitayo Ilori, commiserate with you on the glorious home call of your mother.

“No doubt, her death is a loss for you but the reminiscences of what she was to you are enough consolation. Though I didn’t know her but when you were a student at AUD comprehensive High School, Otapete, Owo, apart from the high level of intelligence that you exhibited, your humility and friendly mien, we could see the aura of maternal care around you.

“There was no time I found you absent from school or from our class. You were always composed and never lacked the prerequisites for learning and other co-curricular activities. These attributes, which are still part of you in adulthood, are the results of very good attention from a caring mother. Once again accept my heartfelt condolences. You are welcome to our fold (of orphans).”
