SPONSORED POST: Rev. (Prof.) J.O. Lawoyin —A Tribute

We celebrate the transition to glory of our beloved Daddy, Rev. (Prof.) Jonathan Olujare Lawoyin.

Rev. (Prof.) Jonathan Olujare Lawoyin lived his life in service to God and humanity, fulfilling his mandate in the dental practice as professor of oral pathology, as well as in ministry.


Professor J.O Lawoyin attended Dallas Baptist University in the United States of America, where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree. He then went on to dental school at Howard University in Washington, where he became a Doctor of Dental Surgery, and Glasgow, where he obtained a masters’ degree.

On his return to Nigeria in the late ’70s, Prof. J.O. Lawoyin committed himself to advance the field of oral pathology, primarily at the University of Ibadan and the University College Hospital for nearly four decades. At different times lecturer, head of the department, and dean of the faculty of dentistry, Prof. J.O. Lawoyin taught many generations of students who went on to excel in the field of dentistry across the world.

Following his retirement in 2011, Prof. J.O. Lawoyin continued on contract at the University of Ibadan, where he helped to pioneer the forensic odontology postgraduate programme.
Ordained in the Baptist tradition, Rev. J.O. Lawoyin served as the undershepherd of New Haven Baptist Church, Ibadan, from 1989 to 2016, first in the capacity of founding church leader, then as the church’s pastor. Beyond stipulated pastoral duties, his ministry extended to the local and global community.

Daddy, you loved us well. You provided, and you counselled, you listened, and you cheered us on. Most importantly, you and mummy pointed us to Christ, and you held fast to Him till your last breath. We rejoice in hope and eagerly await the day we reunite in Christ. Until then, thank you for a life well-lived!

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
