The pharmacist narrated that the professor's mother tried three different times to secure a Canadian visa which will enable her go see her grandchildren and spend some time with her son but all to no avail.

Lo and behold, just like a prophesy mama's wish came to be. The Department of Foreign Affairs invited Pius as a guest speaker for an event. Pius did not waste the opportunity as he reluctantly accepted the speaking engagement. After his lecture the boss at the top in charge of all high commissioners went to Pius to give him kudos for a job well done. During the tete-a-tete, Pius told the boss that he is unable to understand why his mother was denied visa to come and visit him.
"Three days after the event in Toronto, a dark, heavily tinted SUV with a diplomatic plate number pulled up in front of Mama Adesanmi’s house at Ilorin. The Canadian High Commissioner sent his aides who drove all the way from Lagos to Ilorin to go and stamp Mama Adesanmi’s passport with a visa to Canada in her living room, with a letter of apology personally signed by the High Commissioner."
