More Description

'Connecting with my Past' is a writing that expounds on the expedition of Usman Oladipo Akanbi in this fleeting earth. It is a bold tome and worthy effort that elucidates the phases of his journey right from childhood, through education, politics, student unionism, career, administration, creative exploits, insights and travels around the world. The book written in simple language is an expressive compendium on people, places, music, poetry, culture, tradition, activism, association, politics, government and society. It also punctures silence on time, space, family, friends and relationship. A well crafted memoir that documents the life of a zealous comrade and dogged fighter whom every stepping of his sojourn is a reflection of his philosophies, engagements, conscious and subconscious actions through the salubrious grace, mercy and favour of God the Almighty. So revealing are the stories told through the pulsations of a hitherto get-inside child who is now a lively man! It's a commendable masterpiece. - Abdulhafeez T. Oyewole
