Autor

Dillibe Onyeama was a Nigerian author and publishing executive, who founded the publishing company Delta Publications (Nigeria) Limited. In 1968, he became the first black person to finish their studies at Eton College, and went on to attend The Writers' School of Great Britain. He has published twenty-eight books - both fiction and non-fiction - covering a wide range of subjects, including biography, education and self-improvement. He lived and worked in his native Enugu, in south-east Nigeria.As soon as Dillibe Onyeama was born, in January 1951, his father put his name down for Eton, the UK's most prestigious and expensive private school. No black child had gone there, but his father, a senior judge in Nigeria who had studied at Oxford, wanted him to have the best education he could possibly afford. Onyeama did go on to receive a fantastic education - and made history as the first black person to complete his study at Eton College. But the personal cost was staggering.
