1952

In 1952, Tai and Sheila decided to move to his native Nigeria, where both worked in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State at Molusi College.

However, they disagreed with the politics of the organization and religious discrimination in schools, and decided to build their own school in Ikenne.

On 27 January 1956 Tai Solarin and his wife founded the Mayflower School, the first secular school in Nigeria, in Ikenne.

The Students' Second Home was established by the pair in 1977.

It was a boarding house that served more than two thousand students of the three public high schools in Ikenne town.

Using breeze blocks made from clay, they constructed two classrooms, each able to accommodate 36 pupils.

The students helped in the construction of more classrooms.

"They had their bunks at the back of the class, and the desks at the front" said Sheila.

"We didn't ask anybody what their ethnic background or religion was, we simply wanted to provide an education for all the children in the area."

As the Mayflower School became more popular, Sheila and her husband expanded, making it one of the largest schools in the country.

Sheila headed the Mayflower School on behalf of her late husband Tai Solarin.
