This book is about the life and times of a Nigerian education icon, Tai Solarin, written from the perspective of a very close student who was trained by him. Tai was unusual and deserves to be celebrated because he dedicated his entire life to the service of humanity, starting by building a unique Nigerian secondary school from scratch with his British wife without any significant financial investment but robust physical energy, Spartan self-discipline, and a meteoric vision. This was in 1956. This school allowed religious freedom and full development of the human spirit; motivated the students to become the best they could be and taught physical and vocational education. The students worked with the non-teaching staff to build classrooms, cook, and process food; grow and harvest crops; manage 24-hr water and electricity supply; bake bread, raise pigs, poultry and goats for domestic consumption.
