If my father was the doyen (godfather) of African literature, Prof Jeyifo was its moral compass and backbone. His sharp intellect and astute perspective led to his impressive career. He's often mentioned for his expertise in Wole Soyinka's work, but that is only the tip of his intellectual iceberg.

Last Wednesday, news broke that Prof Biodun Jeyifo, one of Nigeria's "brightest literary minds" (Vanguard NG) passed away in Ibadan at 80 years old. Just over a month before, he'd attended a symposium in his honor, at which he was able to hear and reflect on his impact in African Studies.

I still need to read something SCANDALOUS about this Russian man who filmed and posted on a telegram channel his sexcapades in Ghana (over 100 women) and Kenya.
Sullying the good name of Mother Russia!

As a vegetarian, I heartily endorse this article!
Giving your bacon a Korean twist amps up its flavor, giving it a sweeter, saltier, or spicier edge depending on the ingredients you use. Here are some ideas.

Petty revenge for Jairo's commitment to Palestine. A mediocre gesture from power-hungry folks who brutally excise voices for justice. In solidarity, comrade.
I received over 90% of the votes at the department and college levels, yet the provost denied me tenure. I met and exceeded the promotion and tenure guidelines and expectations as well as my annual and mid-tenure reviews.
