I cannot
remember the last time I picked the biography of a Nigerian and could not put
it down. That was until last week when I was given a copy of “Audacity on the
Bound: A Diplomatic Odyssey” by Ambassador Olusola Sanu, a masterpiece that
tells the story of our country and continent from the perspective of a
diplomat.
Incidentally,
when my friend, Fola Mosuro–whose famous family publishing house in Ibadan
produced the book—came to my office to hand me a copy, he had no inkling that
Sanu actually taught me in my final year at the Department of International
Relations in Ife. However, although that was what aroused my initial interest,
it was the fascinating story that got me hooked to the riveting 514-page book.
