Olusegun Obasanjo In the Eyes of Time

Olusegun Obasanjo in the Eyes of Time takes you a wild, sometimes tragic, ride through the first 39 years in the life of Olusegun Obasanjo, a general and three times leader of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is filled with many colorful characters and great events that have shaped the Nigerian nation before and after independence. Adinoyi Ojo Onukaba, a Nigeria journalist and playwright, offers a rare insight into the remarkable life and career of Obasanjo – a man whom Nelson Mandela calls ” a special friend who stands head and shoulders far above many who occupy high position”; whom Helmut Schmidt, former German Chancellor, says is “one of the most important voices of the African continent; whom Lord Callaghan of Cardiff, former Prime Minister of Britain, described as a man who paved the way for democratic rule in Nigeria… a man who has committed to strengthening the caliber of African leadership” and whom Nadine Gordimer, Nobel Prize-winning South African writer, hails as “an honorable and courageous fighter for human justice wherever it has been endangered”.
