About me / Bio:

Dele Giwa was born on 16 March 1947, to a family working in the palace of Oba Adesoji Aderemi, the Ooni of Ife. He attended local Authority Modern School in Lagere, Ile-lfe. When his father moved to Oduduwa College, Ile-Ife as a laundry man, he gained admission to that school. He travelled to the USA for his higher education, earning a BA in English from Brooklyn College in 1977 and enrolled for a Graduate program at Fordham University. He worked for The New York Times as a news assistant for four years after which he relocated to Nigeria to work with Daily Times. Dele Giwa and fellow journalists Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese and Yakubu Mohammed founded Newswatch in 1984, and the first edition was distributed on 28 January 1985. The magazine changed the format of print journalism in Nigeria and introduced bold, investigative formats to news reporting in Nigeria. However, the magazine also faced the wrath of the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida, who took power in August 1985. The paper took a more hostile view of the Babangida regime and exposed some of its corruption and human rights abuses. Dele Giwa was killed by a parcel bomb in his home at Ikeja, Lagos, while in his study with Kayode Soyinka, on Sunday 19 October 1986. The assassination occurred two days after he had been interviewed by State Security Service (SSS) officials. The killers and their motives have never been officially identified, but many Nigerians suspect that the Babangida regime was behind the murder. Dele Giwa was known to be an ardent lover of truth and a fearless critic of tyranny. He left behind a legacy of courage, integrity and excellence in journalism.
