Oga Chidi,
Oya, initiate something nau. That your Arugo motor park can do with some good dose of Falola humor and cultural sense. 

But seriously, why not? Falola flows both with fellow professors and fellow street people. He passed through that phase on his way in life.

Adeshina,
Seriously, does Falola have the capacity to interact at the motor parks? I doubt it.

If he does, that would be fantastic! Motor park lectures are overdue in Nigeria.

Simple response: It's obvious you have not met Falola. The entire park will be in an uproar. I am talking of what i have seen sir. 

Seriously now, i like the idea of motor park lectures. And the emergence of Gramsci's organic intellectual able to manoeuvre between the parks and the classrooms. Indeed, the motor parks are classrooms!

Jokes apart, this was a mode of teaching when I was young—this was how people became converts to Islam or Christianity. This was how we learned elementary magic. This was how we learned and created stories.

Street education was part of how many of us grew up before a generation came that was driven to schools in cars.

The first thing I will teach CAO in the motor park is how to fight! And he will later beg me for “conk incantation” to turn into thin air.

Thanks Adeshina. I hope that Poet Christopher Okigbo is reading this from the great beyond!

Dear Editor Ghazal (Wale):

Many thanks for such a comprehensive listing of May-July 2019 Events Timeline Activities of 

SIR Toyin Falola. It is very important that you posted it. For, I am on my way to Ghana to give a major 

speech at a conference on a local university campus.  What I plan to do is to see if I can change my 

airline flight of June 8, 2019 to an earlier one, maybe May 30,/2019, to pass through Nigeria to attend 

SIR Toyin Falola's Babcock event in Ikenne; I can, as well, visit Mayflower College, just to see what ihas

become of the great institution of my other Yoruba Mentor, the late Dr. Tai Solarin (with his addictive 

"Thinking With You" column in DAILY TIMES). Of course, it will be great to see our own, dear SIR

Toyin Falola receive his 12th (?) Honorary Degree from Babcock University!


Again, many thanks for the listing! As for SIR Toyin Falola, we need some of his travel zeal and human 

powers, which enable him to live like "a candle in the wind" and also like a spirit that is all over the place. 

Yet, he survives and thrills in them all! We wish him safe travels as well, as it is becoming more and more

risky to fly these days, although some frinds say that it is safer in the air than on earth!!!


With best wishes,

A.B. Assensoh.

Dear Professor Assensoh:

Of course, it's always a delight reading from you, and I thank you so greatly for the kind words sir...

By my expectation and hope, I wish your presence is registered at the coming Babcock event; and also an avenue you could cease to visit those mentioned 'favourite' places. 

Peace be with you too on your journeys, with abundance of life's fulfillments.

Cheers and be well sir!
