I was still asleep that morning when a knock came on my door. I was not on duty, so it couldn’t be the station driver. I got up to open the door, and was pleasantly surprised to see my mother and her younger sister, Nana, standing at the threshold. My excitement knew no bounds, and my mother could not hide …

I knew DrNyaknno Abasi  (Nyaknno Osso) before I knew him. As an addict of Newswatch magazine from its founding week, I encountered him through the Editor-in-Chief’s corner of the groundbreaking magazine. His work as the librarian who sought relevant information for the big and not-so-big contents of the publication were well documented on that page. I finally met the research …

8:31 am yesterday (6 April), I got a call from my good brother, Yemisi Fadairo. He calls as often as possible, so I had no unusual feeling. After the pleasantries, he said: “Our friend is no more”. I was almost certain who that friend could be, but in matters of finality, which death is, I refrain from speculation. So I …
