Yeye Akilimali Olade "BACK TO AFRICA"- I am a BLACKamerikkkan,born in Denver Colorado, October 31, 1944. I schooled in Lawrence, Kansas, New York City.Attended Fisk University, Nashville TN, San Francisco State University,BA History, University of California, Berkeley,MA Library Science. By the age of 11 years I decided that MY children never would grow up in amerikkka,under amerikkkan Racism, but I would have them grow up FREE,in Africa.By 19 years old I met BLACKamerikkkans who practiced Orisha Yoruba Religion in New York City,who told me that Yoruba Culture and Language was the Best culture in the world,so Nigeria became my desired destination.Met the Nigerian Consul General in San Francisco and told him I wanted to go to Nigeria to rise my children free! Through him I got a Teaching appointment and was sent to Nigeria with 3 of my 5 children(who are Malik Mkalimoto, Fabayo,Olabisi, Fehintolu,and Oluwasola). Worked at Ilaro, Federal Girls College,then Oyo State College of Education,Ila Orangun,then FINALLY was made CHIEF Librarian by Dr. Bayo Adebowale,at AFRICAN Heritage Research Library Adeyipo Village IBADAN,the FIRST Rural -Based African Studies Library in Africa! Up till now I am serving the BLACK Race there!
