This book is unique in many ways. It does two things simultaneously and does them well. Primarily, it is a heartfelt biography of a man of normal background whose sense of purpose has propelled through a brilliant career first as a young apprentice intellectual and later a company executive and adventurous business man... As Abaribe perceptively points out in his book, there is no curriculum in any institution that can prepare anyone for the macabre dance of Nigerian politics... As a biography, this book maintains a consistent freshness of narrative.
