Comrade Biodun Jeyifo (BJ), who will be interred on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo State, was a man of many distinguished parts: First class student, Professor Emeritus of English at Cornell University and Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Harvard University, journalist, author, literary critic, President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), labour activist, revolutionary, and Chair of the Board of Trustees/Advisers of the groundbreaking Socialist Library of Nigeria (SOLAR) in Calabar, Cross River State.
Almost two months ago to this day, on January 5, 2026, Comrades, scholars, activists, friends, students, and admirers, gathered at the Agip Recital Hall of the Music Society of Nigeria (MUSON) Centre, Onikan, Lagos, to mark Comrade BJ’s 80th birthday with a lecture by one of his students, Priyamvada Gopal, Prof. of Post-Colonial Studies at the University of Cambridge, titled “Who Is Afraid of Decolonisation? Pedagogy, Curriculum and Decolonisation: Then and Now,” a reflection of Comrade BJ’s lifelong interests and struggle.
