Dearest princi

Thoughts of you always warms my heart with lovely memories of the fun, good, bad and ugly times at FGGC Bakori.

The memories are never too far away because my best and lifelong friendships were formed there and we still have a lot of good laughs whenever we have the opportunity to remember those good old days ... and the role you played in helping to prep us for life beyond FGGC Bakori.

I thank God for the you

March 8, 2021

Happy post humus birthday, my Principal, our Princi. When I remember the good old days of Bakori, with you as our Principal, I realize that you were a Champion! One that has others dwarfed when they stand beside her. Since God has taken you, I know that you are in better place. I still miss my days at Bakori, with you as our leader, I miss your motherly counsels and admonitions. You were like a second Mom to us. Thank you Mom, thank you. Enjoy your birthday celebration with the Angels in heaven, as you continue your peaceful rest. Amen!

With much love, from me, Maureen Gbagir; 1985 set.

There's no better day than today to remember how instrumental you are to the success of women. I thank God for the joy of knowing you and for the opportunity to let you know I appreciate all that you are/were to me/us.

February 1, 2021

Still missing you, my Principal like no other. You were like a second mother to me and I miss you like you left just yesterday. Continue to rest in the bosom of God. Amen.

January 28, 2021

I am a founding member of FGGC Bakori. Mrs. Robinson came to us in our final year. She was a loving, caring, and dedicated Principal. We didn't have her for long, but she took us through that final lap in flying colours. Rest in Peace, Mama Robinson.

On behalf of the class of 1979, FGGC Bakori.

March 29, 2020

I continue thank God for the joy of knowing you!

To the honorable and gentle spirit in you Mrs Robinson, you are greatly missed daily but am glad you were my Principal who taught us and nurtured us like a mother hen and am greatful for every step I took from underneath your wing. Take you rest until we meet again.

March 6, 2020

Always will remember your birthday as it's just a day after mine. Happy posthumous birthday Princy! We celebrate you as you continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord.

May 12, 2019

Princi! You were as firm and strict as you were compassionate. I am grateful for the opportunity to have had you as my principal during my time at FGGC Bakori and for everything I learned that helped shape me and prepare me for life.
You faced many challenges running the school, but you always communicated with and even engaged us in finding and implementing unique and innovative solutions. Your strategies helped make life in Bakori a lot more bearable than it could have been. I have since learned that we fared a lot better than many of our peers because of your passion, commitment, drive, energy and concern for us all.
I thank God for the vision he placed on your heart; I thank God that you were faithful to the vision; I thank God for your family who supported you and shared you with us throughout your years of service; I thank God for all of us who are beneficiaries of His blessings through you and I pray that we continue to be faithful servants of God's love and compassion that knows no bounds of race/ wealth / social / professional /political /religious (etc.) status and/or affiliation.
May God comfort your family and all who mourn your departure.

May 2, 2019

My PRINCI, my mentor, my heroine, my second Mum, I received the news of your demise with regret and sadness. As I reminisce on life with you in those days in BAKORI, I note with melancholic nostalgia, how you led us, those little girls then, through thick and thin, in abundance and in scarcity, intellectually, academically, spiritually and in all ramifications. Mum, dearest Mrs. Robinson, there you go, a great leader! I say fare thee well Mum. Rest eternally with God, your maker. If ever I were to be a Principal, I pray to be like you. I loved you, we loved you; but God loves you best. Adieu Sweet Mother. Adieu my Principal; PRINCI! Adieu my Heroine. Adieu dear Mother.

Still a struggle to believe a soul as yours has passed.. You were the mother some of us looked up to then in FGGCZ.. I still remember how heartbroken I was at your sudden transfer then.. It's no news that you must be the best principal ever.. Rest on angel mother of ours.. Peace to your soul and comfort to your loved ones.. Till we meet again mummy FS Robinson

April 23, 2019

So sorry about the passing of Mama F.S. Robinson.
Princy as she was popularly called was our Darling, Caring, Beautiful and Intelligent Amazon.
I won't forget her innovative approach at F.G.G.C Zaria in curbing bullying and fagging which was a major issue facing unity schools at that time. I'm happy to have passed through her.
She remains a huge inspiration to all of us.
May her beautiful soul rest in peace and may God comfort you and the entire family.

April 18, 2019

Dear Princy, you truly came, you saw and you sure conquered! You lived life to the fullest, you impacted the lives of hundreds of young girls from every part of Nigeria. You nurtured us, guided us, molded us into what we are. You raised the bar and made us realise that even for us girls, the sky is only a starting point. Will ever be grateful to you. Will miss you! We will hold you dear in our hearts forever. Rest in peace our dear princy! You have earned it.May God console all those you left behind.

Gone, but never forgotten.

A rare gem has left us.
We all came from different parts of the country to FGGC Bakori as young and impressionable young girls. You took us all under your wings and mothered us. You instilled great values in us that contributed in molding us into the strong women we are today.

April 3, 2019

July 1978. I had just completed my primary education and was on holiday. The previous December had seen me write the national common entrance. Bakori was not one of my choices when I had filled the application form. I had never heard of bakori. My eyes were set on Queens College or one of the other federal government colleges in the West. So in July 1978, I was just waiting to see which college was going to accept me when I got this letter from a college in a place I had never heard from. I gave the letter to my father. He too, had never heard of bakori, however he had heard of funtua because one of his aunts once lived in funtua and I think funtua was a well known industrial centre, well known to adults but not to kids like me.
My dad's initial reaction was 'that is too far for you to travel to!' . So it seemed like I would not be travelling to this unknown place that no one had ever heard about.
Later on in the evening when my mum got back from work. I gave the letter to my mum who read the letter to the end and when she saw that the letter was signed by one Mrs f s Robinson, she became excited. It turned out that she and Mrs Robinson had been fellow teachers at holy child college, Lagos around the same time I was born. In fact, it was Mrs Robinson who had driven my mum to the hospital when she went into labour for my birth.
So, it was decided that since this college was headed by someone well known to my mum, then it was safe to let me go to this far away place that no one had ever heard of.
End of September 1978, after driving through lots of bush in the middle of nowhere we finally got to fggc bakori and I got to meet this Mrs f s Robinson who turned out to be one of the most lovable, loving, caring, nurturing, motherly, matronly person I had ever met.
I will end this tribute by saying it was a privilege and blessing to have been a student in bakori. It was also a privilege and blessing to have been under the care and mentorship of Mrs fs Robinson who was also strict and a no-nonsence kind of person.
Continue to rest in peace, ma. You fought the good fight and you have gone to receive your crown.

April 3, 2019

Princy I bless God for your life, the journey through life and the great privilege to have been your student. Thank you for impacting excellence in our lives. You shall always live on in our lives. Faith Ibrahim (nee Yakubu) '88 set

April 3, 2019

Princi, As you were fondly called. You gave us hope as young girls to be prim and proper and to work hard because it pays. You always guided us to live like the Queens we are in word and in deed. The hope you gave us in every situation enabled us to have strength for every occasion. Everyone saw the" Bakori" in me and nodded knowing that I could be relied on . Thanks for giving us a good legacy to live for. Rifkatu Ibikunle nee Zamani '92 set.

April 3, 2019

To my beloved Aunty. Your advise , your counsel and disciplinary way of correcting me has made me who I am today your motherly care will always remain in my memory . I pray God gives you eternal rest. we love you but God loves you more . I pray God will grant us the grace to live your legacy for life . Live on Mummy Taiwo Kayode née Oyebanjo .

March 31, 2019

From Doroth Eboh nee Ihejiahi (set of 1980). You were my earliest inspiration and demonstration of the boundless capacity and ability of women. You left us with no illusion that we could be and achieve just about anything that we set out to be and gender was not a barrier. At the time, I personally believed that this was the new normal untill I left Bakori to discover that female gender empowerment and access to rounded education was and is still an issue not only in Nigeria but in parts of the world. Thanks for being one of the champions of capacity development of the girl child. To your credit, Bakorians have continued to excel in their chosen fields. You have left your foot prints in the sands of time. My father, late Igwe Cyprian Ihejiahi who was one of your collaborators in the relentless campaign that all acquire a good efucation would smile in agreement. Rest in peace.

March 31, 2019

It's not really how long one lives but how much one affects or impacts lives. Princy indeed impacted our lives in diverse ways. Your legacy lives on. Adieu lovely Princy. Rest in perfect peace Amen.
My department still asked us to write our parents phone number and said they’ll call

March 31, 2019

I have never stopped talking about you. I have told my children a lot about you. I have even told my husband a lot about you. I can never stop talking about you. You were just DIFFERENT. I look back and I thank God I attended FGGC Bakori and I had the privilege of having you as my principal. Rest on Princy.....Rest on Mrs F.S Robinson.

March 31, 2019

A rare gem, a mother par excellence, you will be missed. You raised us to be the best, fearless women ever. Rest on Princy, rest on in the bosom of our Lord.

March 31, 2019

Dear Princy, as fondly called by the strong Bakori girls you raised. You were an excellent example, a true mentor who disciplined in love. You were the best of the best Principals!
You came, you saw and conquered. Please enjoy your well deserved rest ma where there is no pain or sickness until we meet again on the resurrection morning. You will be sorely missed by all who loved you.
Adieu Mama.

March 30, 2019

Dearest Princy, our wonderful mother during all those years in our lovely school, FGGC Bakori and afterwards. I must say the Nigerian educational sector has lost an icon and one of its biggest contributors and advocates. You will be sorely missed by all of us whose lives you have touched. Goodbye mom. Hauwa Tukur. Class of ‘92.

March 30, 2019

Rest on dear 'Princy' like you are fondly called by Bakorians.
You left your footprints in the sand of time.Your touch and impact is seen in the quality of women Bakorians are wherever they find themselves. Your legacy leaves on in the lives of the young girls you taught never to be anything less than what God has called them to be.
Thank you dear 'Mama'.
You finished your race strong,but you live
always in our hearts.
Teni Eleojo Ayinde,class of 86.

March 30, 2019

I always refer to Mrs Robinson as a great mentor, the woman that Almighty Allah used to mould our lives as children in Bakori , a disciplinarian to the core.
I believe that your good works shall speak for you before the Almighty. I pray that the Lord continues to strengthen and guide the Robinson family (Amin)
Class of '85

March 30, 2019

The best of the best has gone but not forgotten. Princy you helped shaped young minds for generations. You have contributed in shaping mine and being the strong person that I am today, I will forever be grateful to you.
When you left Bakori it was never the same without you......
May your soul rest in perfect peace, farewell Mrs Robinson, one of a kind. We love you but Allah loves you more.
I misssed the reunion in 2017 sick at a hospital away. Watching on posted videos- I cried so much out of nostalgia. I wished I was there...
I pray the family will find solace and strength through God and knowing that she has lived a long meaningfully life. RIP

The words I hear about you makes me feel down for not having the chance to have met you. May your Soul continue to rest in peace. Adieu Ma. Class of 2002

March 29, 2019

Cherished memories of you now and always, still find it very hard to close this page. In our last conversation after the reunion you told me to tell Bakorians; "you all always honour me, am great full and appreciate the many ways how you all always honour me"; those were your words ma and here they are, as we read the many tributes to you and those pouring in, I have shared your words to your "daughters" as you so often called and refer to us. Miss you always; Anihuvi Ayeni, Class of '85

March 29, 2019

Ma, we thank God for your life and legacy, we love and miss you very much. By the increasing faithfulness of God the Almighty Who you thought us to honour, reverence and obey as individuals and a sisterhood at FGGC Bakori your legacy shines on through us all over the world. Thank you sir daddy Robinson, snr Kemi and siblings, the Peace of God bless and comfort you all on every side. The Peace of God rest your soul in the Name of Jesus. Forever in our hearts. Anihuvi Ayeni, Class of '85

March 28, 2019

Mama Bakori and wonderful mother, we will miss you and am glad the lord brought me your way. You loved us so dearly and you never wanted to see any of your students down, you are indeed a mother. The legacies you left will not die, we shall also impact lives like you did. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord, good nite Great mother till we meet at Jesus feet.

March 28, 2019

What can I say, a woman of inestimable value, the icon of a lifetime. Disciplinarian to the core. No nonsense but gentle to the touch. Heart of gold. Golden and analytical brain. You meet her and she leaves ineradicable permanent mark in your heart and soul that wherever or whenever you hear her name, her soft voice echos . I can go on and on. May your soul Rest In perfect Peace, mamaAwa Bakorians. Goodnight Princi Mama F.S. Robinson!!!!!!!!! From one your Bakorians: Sheri Gbademesi as you fondly call me. 84set.

March 28, 2019

A Principal par excellence has gone.!!!
Any of us who says you did not make an impression in her life certainly has to visit a shrink. Your creating a home away from home must have been the only reason why I didn't change my school to one near Enugu. You were the world's best Principal, touching our lives in all ramifications. A beautiful disciplinarian and a wonderful mother to all of us. Always ensuring the best for us. I can say that 60% of what I am today is because of you.
One of my greatest regrets is not staying back for the dinner to express my appreciation for how you have affected my life and that of most of my "Sisters for life" . Your memories will ever remain indelible in my mind.
Sleep on Princi till we all meet again!!
I will always love you!!!

Celebrating a Rare Gem, Educationist Extra-ordinaire!

April 8, 2019

I bless God for your life and for causing our paths to cross. I am ever so proud that I was in the prestigious F.G.G.C Bakori under your tutelage. I look back and wow! did I have a great time in school! Going to school in those days for me was pure fun. Because of the balanced, growth environment that you cultivated, not only academics but in the discipline, creativity, nurture of the female child.

So great was the impact of school life in Bakori on me, that my junior sisters earnestly looked forward to getting into school.

When barely a term after your sendforth, I along with a few other girls got suspended from school. I recall saying to myself, 'Princy wouldn't have suspended me'; because you would never have punished a 'first-time' error with a 'sledge hammer'. You were a strict disciplinarian, who knew the right measure of correction to apply at all times. We absolutely trusted your discipline.

Though the curtains are drawn on the stage of your life, the backstage ranges on, your influence, your impact is indelible, forever in the lives of your girls. We celebrate you ma!!

Sleep on our dear Princy;

Sleep on Mrs F. S. Robinson.

March 31, 2019

I can see you walking from room to room in the dormitory on inspection days, I can see you walking into the hall on assemble days and complete silence enveloping the atmosphere, I can see your car packed in the administrative block and every student running back to class shouting "Princy is around"......Many years have passed but it's still all fresh in my memory. I learnt so much:- cleanliness, punctuality, respect, self esteem, hard work etc from you as my principal. If I am to write my autobiography, it would definitely not be complete without telling your story as my principal in the highly esteemed unity college (FGGC Bakori). Thank you , Thank you, Thank you. Rest on in the bossom of the Lord till we meet to part no more.

I will miss you forever

March 28, 2019
