An opinion piece by Owei Lakemfa reflects on the life of Lindsay Carlton Eseoghene Barrett, a Jamaican who came to Nigeria in July 1966 at age twenty-five for a few weeks' visit but has remained for over sixty years. Barrett, a playwright, poet, journalist, and photographer, turned eighty-five on September 15, and was celebrated at his Abuja home. Among those present were Chief Wole Olaoye, Professor Udenta O. Udenta, and lawyer-poet Ogaga Ifowodo. The article also references Mia Mottley, though details are not provided in the summary.
