Postmodernism

Today I celebrate an erudite scholar, a cerebral intellectual; an effective teacher; a very humane individual and indeed a deep thinker

and philosopher of the Poststructuralist bent who is an embodiment of everything that have been said by greatest philosophers.

As a lecturer, he was available to all the students, especially most of us on the left of the ideological divide. He was not an armchair philosopher but was always involved in giving assistance to us even as we engaged in the struggle for the emancipation of our nation from the gyres of retrogression and underdevelopment. He patiently listened to us and supported our actions as student union leaders and as activists involved in the struggle. This is despite the apparent cost to his career path.

A man of many parts; he left the University of Ibadan for a very short stay with the University of Lesotho South Africa. He taught various courses included amongst others Theory and strategy and tactics of underdevelopment. His contributions to the intellectual growth of the Academy led to the injection of an understanding within the cadreship of a world view that is broad and entirely holistic.

Congratulations to our Dear Distinguished Professor Dipo Irele!I join millions of well-wishers to celebrate Professor Irele and pray that the Almighty grant the fulfillments of his heart desires.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
