I can’t wait to read the book ! I was born in 95’ and while I was still a baby when a lot of these events happened they were the backdrop and my childhood and definitely shaped who I am today. and I am so happy our history and culture is being documented so beautifully by amazing people like you.

As an architect one of my dreams is to play my role in curating and elevating our rich vibrant culture and spreading it to the world through architecture and the built environment. Thank you for the inspiration AOT 🙌🏿🙌🏿

I must say this was a good read for me. It was pretty much a reminder of who I am and where I am coming from. In 1998, I was 14 years old and a student at Ansar Ud Deen High school in falolu, surulere. I can't take anything away from what's written here neither would I want to add nothing. From the death of Abacha, to the death of Abiola, the USA 94 world cup, Ait Jamz... Even Olympic 96 to France 98. My goodness, you have just opened a door of memories for me. I am looking forward to reading your book.

AOT2 as a hip-hop head found a way to throw subtle jibes at Drake. 😂

Which line was that? And also I love and respect Drake's music. He is in my Top 10

If Eddie Montana was to exist at this time, he'll be described as a rapper.
