    Mama, the statement said, was a devout Christian, a dependable care-giver, an enterprising small business owner, a gracious philanthropist, an engaging story teller and an unrelenting activist.

    “Each time a new administration was inaugurated in the country, my mother used to wonder whether it would be better than the previous one,” reminisced Braimah.  

    “She was deeply concerned about the pervasive economic hardships and deteriorating quality of life of Nigerians. My mum always talked about the humanity that made other people’s lives better.”
