This book is about the life and deeds of a man born to a poor farmer. He finds himself thrown into the ups and downs of his environment. A clerk, teacher, and a brilliant soldier. He excelled as a military officer and brought the 30-month Nigerian Civil War to an end. Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo (Obj in this book) gradually rose to become the Nigerian Head of State and a two-time elected President of Nigeria. A champion of democratic government in Africa and Nigeria in particular. A fearless critic of Sani Abacha's military government and spent over three years in jail after the phantom coup trial of 1995 by the Abacha Military Regime. This volume ends on the day Obj returned to his Ota farm after the release from jail in 1998 and slept at home "Like a Baby."
