The secret of this highly impressive and entertaining book lays in the fluid confluence of personal and national history. It is a timely manual for navigating life and business in the face of daunting obstacles. It leaves one with the impression of having sat at the feet of a wise grandfather with a generous heart and seasoned brain.

A well written autobiography that gives a vivid and authentic description to a dogged visionary’s rise through the chaotic urban space called Lagos

My favourite line in the book is ‘maybe, sometimes, time says amen to a dream or makes a joke of it’. I find the tenets in this book very philosophical, especially how the idea of time and its nexus with chance has been romanticised as a strong determinant of business success in life.
Dr. Omolola Oyenihi (South Africa)
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”
This quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow perfectly describes the journey of the nonagenarian as thoroughly told by this book.
