My Condolences "HUMILITY"( Prof RIP sir).
Prof will always quietly say to me anytime I visit Aunty  " hello young man". then I will wander a whole professor!!!!! saying hello first. His humility was profound. May his soul rest in peace. Aunty, I hope you will still remember me when you see this msg, OR hear of this msg, am sorry to hear of prof`s passing,  but i pray to God to strengthen you and grant you good health. God bless you and the whole family he left behind .... Amen.

I remember Daddy replying to a request for any unnecessary items with the phrase "Do you children think money grows on trees?  Now when I say it to my son, it brings the memories of him.  This Ramadan, we continue to ask Allah to expand his grave, forgive his shortcomings and accept him to the best of jannah.

<p>The story among medical students in the early 80s was that Professor Lateef Salako graduated with distinction in ALL subjects except Pharmacology. And that in order not to be forever beaten by the subject, he promptly chose to do Postgraduate Fellowship in it! In those days of great quality in academia, it was a great tonic for us to try all we could to excel.</p><p>Of course we had no way of confirming the story, but each time I passed him on the corridors, I always nurse the wish to emulate him! </p>
