Today marks the beginning of the burial rites in honour of Biodun Jeyifo, a scholar, public intellectual, and unwavering voice for justice.
The celebration opens with an exhibition in his honour, a reflection of the very struggles BJ devoted his life to interrogating democracy, knowledge, power, and liberation.
BJ’s voice may now be still, but the questions he insisted we confront about truth, democracy, and justice remain alive around us.
It is with a heavy heart and extreme and profound sadness that we share with you that our dear friend, colleague and managing partner Oluwole Osibona, passed away on 4 February 2026.

With Deepest Sympathy on the Loss of Nkanu
I have been following Nkanu's illness since my beloved sister, Chimamanda, first informed me on January 2nd. During this difficult time, I felt a deep sense of empathy for her and her family. I shared in their anxiety, prayed earnestly, and hoped for his recovery. Therefore, the news I received yesterday morning was profoundly heartbreaking.
I am personally devastated, thinking of the immense pain my dear sister must be experiencing as a mother, along with her husband, Dr Ivara. My heartfelt condolences go to them and the entire family during this moment of indescribable loss. May God grant them the strength, comfort, and grace to bear this sorrow, and may Nkanu's saintly soul rest in perfect peace. -PO
"When I was the President of Nigeria, I kept hearing about coup and a close Aide told me to come and sleep in his house or guest house. I said No. I can't try such because if I should die in guest house, they will say one India Girl has given me an apple to eat and that's why I d!ed.".

A Thread
As part of my continued consultations in the national interest, yesterday I travelled to Zaria to meet with Professor Ango Abdullahi, a renowned academic, elder statesman, and respected voice in our national discourse. Our conversation centred on the state of our country, the urgent need for unity, and practical pathways to rebuilding Nigeria. We spoke frankly about the challenges confronting our nation and the responsibility of leadership to rise above divisions and work deliberately for the common good of all Nigerians.
While in Zaria, at the airport, I met a group of graduating pilots who approached me with enthusiasm and hope for the future. I encouraged them to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to excellence, reminding them that Nigeria needs their skills, integrity, and professionalism.
From Zaria, I proceeded to Niger State where I met with former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida. During a previous visit to him a few months ago, he had discussed a book "Growing Apart" , which portrayed how two nations, Indonesia and Nigeria, with similar trajectories, grow apart. Indonesia became a success story and Nigeria the opposite. He directed that I get the book. On my return trip to the USA, I ensured I obtained an autographed copy directly from the author and yesterday, respectfully presented it to him.
Our discussion centred on the country's unity, security and improving the lives of our people.
These engagements reaffirm my belief that meaningful progress requires honest dialogue and collective responsibility for the future of our dear country.

Dear Nigerian bloggers @Harvard and @HowardU are not the same universities.
Congratulations to the 97 medical Nigerian doctors, but they didn't graduate from Harvard.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he has asked the Defense Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government "continues to allow the killing of Christians." https://t.co/XQHPE5sVLt
