Greetings from Casamance!
When Chief Toyin celebrates an ant like me, it makes you feel like an elephant! But I know his trick. It is one of his many ways to mend the broken ones like myself and to build them up for successes beyond their expectations.

Professor Fallou Ngom led a successful decoloniality seminar at the University of Ibadan on June 30. I carried his bag along. Gratitude to the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, to the auditorium packed full on a Friday that almost cost our wonderful Muslim friends their Friday prayer.
Serious conversations emerged…with a follow-up responses organized days after by Dr. Afolayan for his class. Can we not do this once a month?
PS: I actually went with Fallou to the Friday mid-day prayer thereafter, and all sins were forgiven! Baraka to them, baraka for us.
