USA Africa Dialogue Series - University of Ilorin in Photos, 1.

Ilorin hosted us in July, with warmth and affection. Our stories are long; our experiences are enriched; our knowledge expanded. We received a red carpet treatment, organized to textbook perfection, by Dr. Ehiyamen M. Osezua, Head, Department of Public Administration, who initiated their first faculty distinguished lecture.  Dr Osezua's generosity is hard to describe, talk less of imitating. His efficiency is superb; his collegiality is remarkable. He commands respect, but he gives respect as well. May he move from glory to glory, as the indomitable Rev. Oyedepo of Winners' Church will say.

If you have not been to Ilorin, you don't know Nigeria. And don't tell me you know Saraki, as you cannot know Saraki without knowing Ilorin, the city of grace and elegance, rich language, hybridity, and of course politics. 
Ilorin, Ilorin, Ilorin—I call you three times!
