“She left a legacy for her family and children will be proud of. We
will go to heaven not because of the extra ordinary things we do in life

extra ordinary manner.”
“Even as a professor, if you see her in the home, she would hold
water for me to wash my hand. And I would tell her, Mummy, you are a
professor and she would say, “I married Nkem before I became a
professor.”
