They remained there until Nigerian independence from British rule in 1960. Together they had six children.\u003cbr\u003eShe died in 1977, having known only three of their grandchildren. He survived until his 85th year taking joy in his sixteen grandchildren (and his first great-grandchild).\u003cbr\u003eIn his last few years he transcribed these letters, to form a legacy to his progeny.","brand":"Action Publishing Technology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49893873156336,"sku":"9780956824738","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780956824738","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
