It is said that the secrets of great men are their stories. These words are proven profoundly true in Makinde’s generous expose of his last conversation with the great Chief Obafemi Awolowo. While it is one thing to directly witness or hear about the actions of a great man, it is a higher and more valuable privilege to gain knowledge of the reasons and thought processes guiding those remarkable acts. That rare privilege is what Moses Makinde has given readers and generations yet to be born through this book. In the process of answering Makinde’s philosophical probing, Awolowo unveils various aspects of himself as well as the thoughts behind his publicly acclaimed phenomenal acts. Much of what many, especially the younger generation, may never have known, heard or read about the great Awo is revealed in his three and a half hour conversation with Mose Akin Makinde.
