Olatunde Aluko, through the pages of My Life Journey, has presented an African story of global relevance and timeless lessons that would be cherished by generations yet unborn. When he sets out in 1954 as an impressionable teenager from the bucolic environment of Ado-Ekiti to the burgeoning city of Ibadan, it was the first step in a life of adventures and great achievements that would take him to every corner of the world. His well-written odyssey, presented with clarity, pithy prose, and mellifluous cadence, is an affirmation of the indomitable spirit of man to triumph against almost impossible odds. A tour de force!
