A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Funke Aboyade, speaks to OLADIMEJI RAMON about her childhood, career journey and related issues
Where were you born and what kind of upbringing did you have?
I was born in Ibadan but then spent my first year of life in Michigan in the United States. At other stages of my childhood, part of my elementary school was also in the United States, but basically I grew up at the University of Ibadan where both my parents were professors. My parents were strict but loving; my dad, especially, was quite the disciplinarian. We did household chores even though we had domestic staff; my mother certainly did not cut us any slack in that regard. We were encouraged to read widely and my parents regularly bought us loads of books, magazines, comics, encyclopaedia and the like. So, reading was second nature to us. We were also encouraged to be curious and to think independently and logically.
