Michael, in a candid and vulnerable manner, shares the mistakes and the remake of his mother’s steps in life. These experiences resound hope for every woman who is on the verge of giving up. From poverty to pain, disappointment, to the absence of a father figure to true forgiveness, he touches every aspect of the lows.
Through Michael’s lens, the communal lifestyle of his hometown in Sagamu, Ogun State, is highlighted even as he makes a case for further socio-economic development. This, he regards as a step in the right direction till the country becomes a better place.
His undaunting interest in societal change and development through science and technology – the book reveals, is a long-standing desire burning from his childhood experiences.
A man’s story is as true as his life. In it, he mirrors the challenges of fellow men, the highs and the victories, the lows, and the breaking points. Yet, it takes more than guts to share this with people. “I envy those who can just talk about themselves; those who know themselves. I grew up around men who waited until their deathbeds,” Adesanya writes.
Thankfully, he has summoned the courage to tell his story for the good of all.
