Professor Falola,
I am deeply touched to hear that you loose your brother. I don't know if he is an academic. Otherwise who will celebrate his passing since you are the one who celebrate the passing colleagues/friends.
May the family of the dead have the fortutide to accept this difficult time and the ancestors accept the dead amoong themselves.
E pele o!

Sorry Adieu.E Pele   Which Falola? Where? Sorry.
Why are all deaths ascribed to covid these days!?Has autopsy shown this?
I wish Africa: starts her own (all sciences research &)
 development right from the 60 yr independence .zi ve just commented exactly on this few minutes:,ago in one of the 4 ana chat rooms . .The captivity has been too much ,since 400 years of total seizure of our essential culture & technics !
What we have is consumerism though African scientists are globally exportable too.
See the Japanese,Chinese & Indian approach to science & tradition -- mutually inclusive not exclusive !
Salute to Thomas Lambo ,Pontif Prof ex DG WHO who revered traditional psychiatry & applied it To the Aro experiment Thanks To Adeola Adeloye who helped to document African s contribution to Western Medicine  & earliest neurosurgeons in Africa in his books.
Adieu Falola ,
 our revered TF s brother?
