There are several lessons to learn from the humble early life of the Ekiti born foremost legal icon, Aare Afe Babalola as Parrotxtra/PMParrot has stumbled on what seems to be one of his most kept secrets. 

A source who sought anonymity has revealed to us how the Bamofin of Yorubaland ensured his first son got serious and good care after the mother of the boy left him with the then six month-old baby.

“Chief is such a loving and caring father, just as he used to do to all and sundry, I could remember in the late 60s when he brought his six month-old son that his mother left for him in our care at Imalefalafia area of Ibadan, he used to come almost every day to check on the welfare of the boy from Bodija area that he lived then”, a relative of Chief Afe who doesn’t want her name in print told Parrot Xtra/PMParrot

“Chief used to take care of the whole of our household even when the boy had left us to proceed to a boarding school; Chief Afe from the onset has been a person who cannot fold his arms and watch a fellow man as he suffers.

“He was the one that was responsible for the education of most of the peers of his son right from elementary to secondary school level, in fact the boy was a blessing to other family’s children then”, the source added.

Aare Afe Babalola has since then moved from grace to glory and has founded one of Africa’s best citadels of knowledge called Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti.
