May His Soul Rest In Perfect Peace
My first encounter with Baba Adebayo Faleti was reading his Yoruba play titled “Won To pe Were Ni”
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
I read his book, a Yoruba drama titled “Won Ro Pe Were Ni” in 1974… May his Great Soul Rest in Perfect Peace and May God Give the Yoruba Race an excellent replacement and equally good language developer like baba Faleti.
