MY MOTHER WAS A MOTHER INDEED! - PRINCE ABIOLA YAYA AILERU.
It was an emotional chat when I had to hang-out with OLU OF MUSHIN—HRM OBA FATAI AILERU ‘s Prince Yaya Aileru whose mother’s demise was a year old on the 20th of December, 2020. The 1st year memorial prayer and lecture was preceded by Imams of the mosque where she was THE IYAADIINI till death struck, the venue was at no 6, Olufemi Crescent, Bayekun in Ikorodu axis of Lagos state which happens to be late Madam Ramota Ajoke Yussuff’s home. Mama died at age 75. Even after a year of his mother’s death couple with his age, Prince Aileru almost tear-out during the interview, very emotional! Mothers were goddess indeed!
