It is indeed a special privilege to be admitted here and to interact with patriachal Professors. I'm indeed favoured to have understudied Prof Falola and other eminent scholars and statesmen on this global platform. On this occasion of the distinguished Moderator's birthday, i wish Prof Falola a glorious celebration. He is celebrated daily here and this occasion is exclusive. Happy birthday sir. Many more years in good health, exemplary scholarship and limitless prosperity.On Fri, Jan 1, 2021, 11:56 AM 'tunde jaiyeoba' via USA Africa Dialogue Series <usaafric...@googlegroups.com wrote:--Dear Alagba Prof., TF,MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THIS DAY !MAY YOU LIVE LONGER TO FURTHER FULFIL DESTINY AND CONTINUE TO A LEADING LIGHT IN THE WORLD !!HAPPY BIRTHDAY ICONIC ONE !!!Babatunde JAIYEOBAProf. E.

I celebrate another year
of your sturdy growth
I celebrate another year
of pan-African scholarship
I celebrate another year
of trans-Atlantic friendship
and cross-cultural projects
I celebrate another year
of productive collaborations
Last year,
you wept and bled
Your heart bore the burden
of global trauma
You prayed
and sang
and wrote
tons of memorials
to the living and the dead
This year:
May Elédùmarè
bring you comfort
from all sides;
may the Òrìṣà always
mount the defence
against the hordes of
Òfò
the loss of all love;
Àrùn
the dis-ease of our souls;
Ẹ̀gbá
the paralysis of our will;
Ikú
The demise of our pursuits;
and all other multiple
misfortunes attached
to the human condition.
Àṣẹ wà á!
Let it be so!
Great people:
Help me celebrate Professor Toyin Falola
the Grand Ol' Professor of Professors!
The Erinmi that troubles the mighty oceans.
Àsèyísàmódún, Bàbá Àgbàlagbà!
