“He acted quickly and sent his essay. I called his phone this morning only to be informed that Oyeweso died today Tuesday December 2, 2025! Oyeweso was a decent human being whose humility and charm cloaks his genius and prodigious energy and productivity. He will be sorely missed. May his soul rest in peace!”
