While lecturing in UNILAG, she taught African on the Yoruba School of philosophical thought, discussing cultural and religious beliefs of Yoruba land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Sophie Oluwole produced several books in the field of philosophy such as Ifa and Orunmila. Her objective was to correct the western perspectives and philosophies on Africans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The professor who was popularly called by her admirers as Mamalawo (Female native doctor) was an activist and championed the drive for women in philosophy and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Sophie Oluwole died at the age of 83 years in her home in Ibafo, Ogun State. She set a standard for other women to rise to their full potentials not to be deterred in a masculine dominated society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
