Yemi Ogunbiyi’s The Road Never Forgets is a book you’ll read , and never forget. A chronicle of the author’s life so far in our crisis-ridden country, it recreates with dramatic aplomb some of the most telling moments of his biography, highlighting the low and high points, the tricky crossroads and critical turning points, while at the same time celebrating the feliticious occasions as well as the fellow travelers he meets on this journey that is really, ultimately, a quest for sel-identity. The outcome is this wonderful book, a literary tour de force more or less; what American friends would call ‘a hell of a story.’
