Michael Adesanya’s debut memoir is a classic tale of hope and success against all odds. A truly inspiring read for young people in Nigeria and elsewhere who must conquer challenges on their way to the promised bright future!
Book Reviews
For Michael and everyone that will read this book, this is only the beginning. Adewale – My Mother’s Son would make for a good biopic. One can imagine big screenwriters flipping through the pages with more than a keen eye and interest.
The Punch
If you believe in miracles, you will find this book enjoyable as the very existence of Michael, the author, is a sign that miracles do happen even to the downtrodden.
The Guardian
Michael takes you from the barely imaginable edges of colonial Lagos as a village, through Emuren and Benin, telling such a hopeful, yet tragic story. There were so many emotions drawing me apart this book: anger, pain, fear and despair. But one thing this book has done is point out an eternal truth: we can secure the society by empowering women.
