Description
Dr. K.O. Mbadiwe's autobiography offers rare and excellent opportunity for the reader to appreciate his views and actions on some issues that made press headlines, such as the NCNC crisis, the Ijora Causeway land affairs, the Operation Fantastic, the NigerianCivil War, etc. The nature of this book, and the modesty of the author, has not fully permitted the reader to know that "Agadagbachiriuzo" was more than a politician. Dr. Mbadiwe has written about himself, but it will require other people and other volumes to document his social interaction, his religious life, his business acumen, his press rapport, his campaign speeches, his parliamentary debates and, of course, K.O.'s philosophy of life.
