Travel to western Nigeria, where the Yoruba people reside, and immerse yourself in their culture and traditions. In this gripping personal story, follow the life of John, born to royalty, and experience his journey into adulthood amidst numerous challenges.

John's story begins at his birth, with the expected discipline and training in place in preparation for his rule as king after his father's demise. Along the way, learn about the social and cultural practices of the Yoruba people, including their belief in divination through the Ifa religion and their worship of various gods and goddesses.

As John continues to grow, witness his elementary school experiences, focusing on his teachers' dedication and the ingenuity of the western-region government as it introduces and implements compulsory primary education.

John's life takes a turn when he goes to live with his uncle, a pastor in another city far from home. As years pass, John loses contact with his parents, leading him on a voyage of self-discovery.

Readers will gain a deep understanding and appreciation of the values, cultures, and religions of the Yoruba people, as well as insights into the challenges faced by all who live in this diverse and complex society.

Keenly detailed, and with vivid storytelling, discover the richness of Yoruba history and traditions and experience an unforgettable journey through the eyes of a young African prince. This captivating story illuminates the beauty and diversity of western Nigeria.
