Her funeral was so momentous that the late Alhaji Haruna Ishola waxed a record (Late Mary Awolowo) in her honour, saying he has never seen a funeral so great. In 2000, his son Musiliu, remixed it for the burial of Otunba Fasawe’s mother in Soyoyo and the music was just as sweet!

The AMVCA moment that stands out the most to me was when the late great Buki Ajayi received the Industry Merit Award in 2016. She was 82 and couldn’t believe all these people were giving her a standing ovation. “And Peace”, she said. Four months later, she passed away.
