This is an account of de-colonialization in Nigeria as seen through
the eyes of a Nigerian political leader who was closely involved in
the process. This book is therefore partly a biography of a man,
Adegoke Adelabu; much more though, it tells in a highly personal
and intriguing way how a Nigerian politician operated in the last
years of colonial rule. The story of Adelabu's life is an
interesting one. He is an example of one of the 'new men' who led
African nations to independence in the fifties and sixties. His
family was not closely connected with the traditional
chieftainships of his native city, Ibadan, but he was sufficiently
well placed to take advantage of such secondary school education as
was available to African boys in the thirties. After a number of
vicissitudes, involving abortive careers as a government official,
working for one of the big British trading concerns and on his own
account, Adelabu found his role as a popular leader and 'boss' of
Ibadan politics.
