It’s noteworthy to state that the late Queen Ogunwusi fondly called MAMA ALASO might have had the premonition of her death as she had in the last one month been placing kabiyesi Ooni’s picture on her chest either while sleeping or sitting always quoted saying “OLORUN O MA SEUN O TI O JE KI ALA OGOJI ODUN WA SI IMUSE L’OJU EMI MI. MO TI WA SE TAN LATI PADA S’ODO RE BAYII O, KI N’ LE SO FUN OKO MI PE ASOTELE ODUN 1974 TI SELE O” GOD I THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME ALIVE TO WITNESS A DREAM OF OVER FORTY YEARS, AM NOW READY TO RETURN TO YOU IN HEAVEN FOR AN ETERNITY AND BE ABLE TO TELL MY HUSBAND OF THIS MANIFESTATION OF OUR 1974 DREAM”
