Dear Professor Oyewumi,
Our condolences to you and the family on the passing of Kabiyesi. Ẹ kú ẹ̀yin bàbá, ẹ̀yin wọn ti dárá. He was a great Yoruba king both in reputation and in the goodness that he brought into the lives of the people of Ogbomoso. As a young boy growing up in the old Oyo state, one of the great constant cultural elements of life was the person of the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Oyewumi Ajagungbade III. May his soul rest in peace.
