In her words, "Destiny went to rest. When his child was born, about four days after the naming, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who initiated him traditionally. The man liked him as his son, so that's why he told us to come collect a ram for the baby's naming ceremony. It was then that the sickness caught up with him, causing him to fall."
