Bankole Ajibabi Omotoso, better known as Kole Omotoso, the Nigerian novelist, playwright, journalist, scholar and actor, died on 19 July 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Bankole Ajibabi Omotoso, better known as Kole Omotoso, the Nigerian novelist, playwright, journalist, scholar and actor, died on 19 July 2023.
  • Omotoso not only wrote plays but was an actor as well – that made him special.
  • His books and plays are testaments to his faith in Nigeria and the place of humanity in the world.

Early life and academic career

    • He attended the University of Ibadan, where he studied Arabic literature, and obtained a PhD in Arabic at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
    • He returned home to the University of Ibadan to lecture in the department of Arabic and Islamic studies (1972–76).
    • He then moved to the drama department of the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife) from 1976 to 1988.

His legacy

    • It includes The Edifice (Heinemann, 1971); The Combat (Heinemann, 1972); Miracles (short stories) (Onibonoje Press, 1973); Fella’s Choice (Ethiope, 1974); and Sacrifice (Onibonoje, 1974).
    • Perhaps his most enduring and important book is Just Before Dawn, which is categorised as “faction” – a mixture of fiction and facts in fictionalised form.
    • It remains an important legacy that should be read by any literate Nigerian.

Life in exile


    In the heat of the ruinous military rule and the anomie of the 1980s Omotoso and other academics left Nigeria. After a spell in Europe Omotoso settled in South Africa. There, he was popularly known for his role in commercials for the cellphone company Vodacom in the 1990s. He was the “Yebo Gogo man”, who always humorously came to the rescue of an inept white man in various situations.

Personal encounters

    • I was a first-year student at the Bayero University in 1984/5 when he was touring the country to gather material for Just Before Dawn.
    • He spoke passionately about his project and why he was travelling around the country.
    • His pep talks to us about Nigeria, her potential and the need to document our stories and history caught my fancy.
