Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The Autobiography of Professor Ademola Babalola

This is so shocking!
I have not seen him for quite sometime and now he is gone, just like that?
This will be very devastating for Prof Falola. What happened to Bablo?
Oh my goodness!
Such a nice chap, gentle and very sociable. May his soul rest in
perfect peace. Amen.
