Awo ńpa’pòódà ni
B’Áwo bá p’èhìnd ̣ à tán
K’éni máse s ̣ è’dárò Awo
The knowledgeable ones do not die and do not become rotten
They only transition to the spiritual realm of ancestors
Therefore, when a knowledgeable one transitioned
Let no one mourn but rather celebrate the transition

We celebrate the life of our knowledgeable and well accomplished retired Ceramics Professor at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, Chief Raphael Ìgè Ibigbami, who transitioned to the realm of ancestors on August 26, 2020.
