”Some long years ago, I met the lady here and I promised to take her on a date on her birthday and she agreed, so we went into a building in SOHO area of New York City, on our way in we were handed candles. She asked if I had brought my friends to give her a surprise birthday, I said “yes,” we just came to the best date, your never dreamt off. It was Ken Saro-Wiwa’s memorial event for that year!

Today is her birthday, please kindly help with my wife Opeyemi Sowore Happy Birthday! I know it is hard to be happy on a day like this!
