My Journey Through Life (Hardcover)

In 1959 when Sikiru Ajibowu Adeilo Adeyiga was twenty-one years old, he received a remarkable message of divine prophecy from a Yoruba Ifa Oracle priest who prophesied he was a preordained King. Some thirty-three years afterwards, the prophecy which for a long time remained a matter of considerable doubt in his mind, truly came to a wonderful fulfilment when he was enthroned the king of Irolu-Remo in 1992. This riveting and enlightening autobiography of Kabiyesi Oba S.A.A. Adeyiga evidently goes to show that there is a compelling submission to an inevitable line of fate - the destiny of man preordained in the book of life - which governs and controls our individual lives. Oba Adeyiga's remarkable life history - representing series of inspiring accomplishments filled with the richness of edifying knowledge - are all carefully documented in this Autobiography incorporating the ancient history of Irolu-Remo and its delightful ancestral heritage. Just as it is worthwhile to preserve our ancestral heritage in the epic annals of history, it is also of valuable importance to leave a rich legacy in print to serve as mentors of informative knowledge for future generations of Irolu sons and daughters. My Journey through Life is a must read for those who want to draw inspiration from the wisdom of a disciplined, hardworking and caring leader, a firm believer who has the fear of God.
