Produktbeschreibung

Some time ago at the Sheraton Hotel, Lagos I was with a group of people and we talked about the most memorable moments of our lives. One of us, the first to speak, talked about the day he secured his first job. Another spoke of the day he passed his University degree examination. For another group member, it was the day he retired from the Nigerian Army. The following person said that his most memorable day was the day he heard that his wife was off the danger list after a severe surgical operation. Then, the elderly man who had been listening intently to our discussion cut in and said, 'As far as I am concerned, the most memorable day of my life was when my autobiography, which showcased the story of my life from birth to date was publicly presented and launched'.

He added that his autobiography contained his footprints on the sand of history which he wants to pass on to the present and future generations as a source of inspiration. According to him, his autobiography also contained the memorable relationships he had with his children. He was pleased that his autobiography had gone to various parts of the world for people who did not even know him to read about him. Listening to him speak, I shook my head and said, 'The words of elders are words of wisdom'.

I have always told my clients that one cannot underestimate the place of biography or autobiography in a man's life. It is the crown of life. It encapsulates all you have achieved and stand for in public and private life. It is the most faithful witness to the life and times of a hero, or person of calibre after he or she has finished their race in this world. Their autobiographies or biographies stand as sources of inspiration to the present and future generations.

Knowing all this, I approached my brother Knight of the Pope, Chief Lambert Olu Akinyede, asking him the permission to embark on this projet so that his footprints and accomplishments will remain on the sand of history and in the indelible pages of this biography. At the time, his response was positive and prompt. He gave us the tools and this helped us with the complete package of this monumental publication.

The biography of Chief Lambert Olu Akinyede is a success story. It is the story of a man who, with the support of his parents and wellwishers, left the shores of Nigeria in those colonial days for an unfamiliar terrain in England to pursue legal education which was a rare privilege. As a result of that decision, he became the first to qualify as a lawyer in Ado Ekiti, his home town.

This book is intended to tell the story, without exaggeration, of his humble life of dedication and sacrifice to his family, society at large, and his Creator.
