She called out another woman, Mrs Felicia Olowofeyeku, whom she said always responded to her grievances with the line: “‘Are there not more important things than this?’

“In truth, when I look back, there were indeed more important things than those things.”

“With him, I learnt tolerance, perseverance, understanding and forgiveness. All those things have helped to shape my Christian life,” she added. She also revealed that she was the first Sunday School teacher of the church.
