PA REUBEN FASORANTI DIES AT 100: THE YORUBA NATION LOSES ONE OF ITS LAST POLITICAL PATRIARCHS
The passing of Afenifere leader Pa Reuben Fasoranti marks the end of an era. An Awoist, educationist, former Ondo State Commissioner for Finance and custodian of the Karọọjire tradition, he devoted decades to public service and the political interests of the Yoruba people.
He paid his dues to the Yoruba nation. Baba has gone to rest, but the responsibility of preserving his generation’s legacy now belongs to the living.
Read The Yoruba Times’ tribute.

Met a Brazilian colleague at work yesterday. The guy asked me if Nigerians know how crazy Brazilians are about their Yoruba heritage? I told him that the Rio Carnival is making it more obvious every year how much of a shared history both countries have.

Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama’s recent installation ‘Voyageur’ in Naples, Italy, narrates the perilous journey of immigrants across the sea to Europe.
It reminds me of @AboloreSobayo’s ‘Community’ installation along the Agege Expressway. But Sobayo’s is larger and more complex
May his soul find rest and his family find strength. Saw him a few times on the beat in the past, but never really knew him.
