Was a great author. Read many of his books before l even finished primary school. Can't forget The Boy Slave, Call me Michael, The return of Shettima, The adventures of Souza, footprints on the Niger, Sweet mother......l know l made sure l saved money to buy books as a kid because reading was an addiction to me. I just wish our younger ones could read for fun, it makes the mind to float! 3 Likes |

He was the best Nigerian author of books for children and young adults. The family and government should launch a literary prize in his memory and also build a library in his honour. 2 Likes |

naptu2: This reminds me of Robert Ageh Wellesley Cole's "Kossoh town boy". What a legend. It made me wish Sierra Leone could be part of Nigeria. I could understand their creole formed from pidgin English and Yoruba. I'll visit there and Gambia when next I'm home. Ah, "weep not, child" too by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o is another great work that resonated with me. 2 Likes |

Who is Kolawole Nathaniel Onadipe? Spoiler: He is a proud Ijebuman, just like myself Kola Onadipe was born in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state, Nigeria. He was born into a polygamous family and was the second son of his mother. Onadipe studied Law at the University of London in 1949 and later opened a law firm with his close friend Abraham Adesanya. He had fifteen children, seven boys and eight girls, to whom he dedicated his life and ensured they excelled in achieving acceptable academic status. He died at the age of sixty-six after he suffered a stroke on 4 December 1988. He is buried at his residential home in Ogbogbo, Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. 1 Like |
