The book is an interesting collection of memories, memoirs, and mischiefs of Dipo Adesida: A marketing and communications Consultant.
The text is a compendium of his fun-filled childhood exuberance spiced with his mischievous acts as the baby of the house. His wandering mind, coupled with being a foodie, brought out a humorous part of the story, leading to his academic distractions.
The book has 12 life-lesson chapters that also read like an inspirational book. The encouragement to readers to pursue their dreams, ensuring they are happy with all that they do, rather than fitting into the status quo. It is also filled with the determination to succeed irrespective of records, gratitude, and patience.
There are so many lessons to be learnt, and what stood out for me was the ability to correct children using writing when the rod failed to do its work, which later became an advantage for him.
There is a comic part of the text and despite the tense environment in Nigeria, the book brought some good laughs as I read through.
