    Oh my goodness, I went to boarding school with Folake. So proud of her, I also recall having to pronounce her surname a couple times before I got it right, it's only 6 syllables cmon but it has a great meaning. Well done Folake very encouraged by your success.

    Okay, I'm going to shamelessly say it, Folake sat right behind me in primary school, so I'm particularly proud of how far she has come. Massive congratulations to her! The only question I have for her is "what happened to your gorgeous long hair from childhood?". This girl had that Rapunzel kind of hair as a child. Wishing you greater strides.
