ODE: "AJAKAYE JA KITAKITA" BY ZENITH CHERUB

Ajakaye STRIDA and Lagos State University Vice Chancellor: Professor Ibiyemi Bello

By their fruit we shall know them

The end result of passion mixed with determination

Is testimony.

To be the Best

You have to beat the Best

Ajakaye ja kitakita

She broke the bars of iron,

breaking the barrier of First-Class in English Education

after over 40 years.

Amidst her equal

She never bow 

She took the liquor of perseverance and hard work

Which make her stagger and stood firm on the days of battle

You know "oju boro ogbomo lowo ekuro".

Ajakaye has created a pathway for others to follow.

She played the lead role in her movie

She rule her world

Impact many souls.

Ajakaye is a light that illuminates...

Mama, you're doing well

More success More wins
