Professor Sophie Oluwole

”She loved and celebrated Yoruba tradition and philosophy so much that she was nicknamed ‘Mamalawo’ (female herbalist).

“Nigeria, the Yoruba race and all those who admire pristine traditions will sorely miss Prof. Sophie.

”Her teachings and works were derived from the Yoruba school of philosophical thought. To her, the ancient African philosopher Orunmila was second to none, ” he said.

Tinubu said that Late Oluwole would be deeply missed by the academic community and students who passed through her

“I commiserate with the Oluwole family, the academic community, students who passed through her.

”I pray they have the strength and resilience to continue where she stopped. To the soul of the late Prof, I pray for eternal rest, ” he said.
