His words ?My journey to Russia wasn?t the only convoluted journey I?d ever taken. Life had always been a loop, one of hope and of love and of frustrations, with nothing ever handed to me on a silver platter.

?I arrived earthside on a warm afternoon in October, the fifth and last child of Abu and Funmilayo Aliu. We were regular people, living a regular life; not quite middle class, not quite poor.

?Dad was a low-level staff in the Ministry of Justice, and Maami was pretty much a stay-at-home mom. Between them, they managed to feed five kids and keep a roof over our heads. Life was pretty average and regular until it wasn?t?

The book Is a thrilling and complete story of how a child could journey from nothing to greatness in Nigeria, only armed with passion and resilience, the Nigerian spirit of never saying ?never?!
