He wrote: I could still hear the echo of her last words when I visited her at the hospital around 10:30. ‘Baba zulu’ as she fondly calls me, there is no amount of pain which I am going through now comparable to the pain of my struggles to attain my BSc certificate. Now I am ready for NYSC.
‘The pain my father and mother went through to see that success might double. We might both not be able to enjoy the fruit of our labour.’
