Adieu, my 1989/90 teacher of Oral Literature at the University of Ibadan, Prof Isidore Okoewho. How can i forget that historic trip to Benin City, Nigeria, together in 1990 where you gave me a baptism of oral literary and folkloric discipline? How can i forget that inaugural lecture where you made a strong case for the literary texture of oral scholarship? How can i forget the rigorous intellectual journey of deconstructing some of the fluid assumptions of Ruth Finnegan? We will surely miss you, the oracle of oral literature.
