‘‘The worst kind of disability is visual impairment. Don’t get me wrong, being physically challenged in general is difficult, but things are more difficult for visually impaired people’’.

: Yes. Someone helped us discover a blind school in Lagos called Pacellii school, located somewhere in Surulere. I enrolled there on October 2, 1984, for my primary education. I left Pacelli on Friday, 24 November 1990, as the best graduating student of the school.

I also didn’t have to use typewriters to type answer scripts, and I had the computer’s soft touch. I trained myself in the use of computers. It was a different world; food was easily accessible. May I say that white people are more compassionate than blacks? I had support everywhere I turned. All assistance was given to me by the university. There was a time a scholarship from the university was during my PhD. I got that scholarship from different sides.

So, he approved the scholarship, but it was on a bond agreement that I would return to serve Lagos in whatever capacity to complete my PhD programs. So having returned, I informed them I was back, and I served in the Ministry of Justice for a year; after that, I was given a permanent job, but it was not easy for eight years in England and now in Lagos.

I wanted to lecture, but offers weren’t forthcoming, so what I did to keep my dreams alive I started writing. I have written over 21 books. The 20th one I forwarded is “but no one understood it”, but there is another titled “another mystery of life”.: I am an all-rounder. I have written more on international law and a book titled “answering the questions and contentions in international law.
