Akínwùmí Ìsọ̀lá And The Rest of Us. | Tunde Kelani

[@tolusiyanbola]

Prof. Akinwumi's contributions towards the development of Yoruba culture cannot be over-emphasized. He was a true novelist. May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

[@amobiabeeb3943]

Great of you sir

[@akintolaabiodunakjntola8615]

Undiluted respect for the late Baba, Professor Akinwumi Ishola. May his gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen

I have listened to the content of this video interview over and over and over again. It's the best I've seen for years with regards to our YORUBA intangible culture. This is one legacy in your writings. Thank you

[@AdedotunAdefolalu]

Prof. Akínwùmí Ìsọ̀lá's book, 'O le ku', was one of the recommended texts in my junior secondary school. I was already enthused with the man, through this book, before I discovered other titles. Interestingly, two of the characters in the book answer my name - 'Dotun, my first name and 'Lola, my middle name. It brought such pride at that early age. It's important that Yoruba literary texts be strongly emphasized in primary and secondary education, and culture is engaged in governance and policymaking. Prof. Akínwùmí Ìsọ̀lá lives on!

Power of partnerships. The humility in recognizing that he needed someone who could tell stories in pictures and that did not in any way made him less of a Professor nor less a veteran. Rest on, sir. #Collaboration #NotCompetition

Rest on Pa Akinwunmi Ishola. It’s such a pity that we’ve totally lost our cultural heritage to greed and thirst for westernization. (Development and culture are complimentary ). Thank you uncle TK for this amazing tribute.

[@TosinAnimashaun]

Thank you for the collaboration with the prof, uncle Tee. You both have made immense contributions to the perpetuation of our culture. My earnest hope is that our crop will do justice to the baton being handed us.

What many don't know is that culture can be lost. If no conscientious effort is made to entrench it and enforce its use on the succeeding generation, in no distant time, it will be eroded. Thank God for the imperishable works left behind by Late Professor Akinwumi Ishola. God bless his soul!

We need to break out of Nigeria to redefined our beautiful Yoruba cultures

As these Legends (Prof. Akinwumi Orojide Isola, Pa Adebayo Faleti, etc) make their exit from this world, I am afraid their wealth of knowledge of the culture rolls away with them into eternity. Uncle Tee, is there a plan for knowledge transfer to the younger generation through mentoring programs?

[@tkelani]

Firstly, Yoruba parents are ignorant about the importance of indigenous language over a foreign one. You need language first before you could learn and appreciate our culture. The parents must do their part but I and others shall continue to mentor young ones and make them proud of their identity

[@bamjoshy]

Tunde Kelani please Sir, I am keen to be your mentee. Please recommend books, journals, articles, literatures, courses and lectures to begin my journey of erudition.

[@ogunsadebenjaminadeiyin2729]

@@bamjoshy We can encourage book clubs in Yorùbá in schools and communities for the young.

[@TosinAnimashaun]

@@tkelani These, as you've mentioned, sir, as well as systematic reintroduction of this knowledge in the school system will go a long way in achieving this much needed preservation. Therefore, the policy makers (a.k.a. government) have a part too, but they're, sadly, too distracted at the moment. Sigh.
