Produktbeschreibung

»From the first scrap I reacted to with a little caution, Wumi Raji has produced a work that does great credit to the idea of fighting youth frustration, opening the door to a healthier work ethic and demonstrating the capacity of good political leadership.As philosophy, pedagogy, transformation agency and movement, OYES has more than proved itself and Wumi Raji has driven this home well in his precise and accurate presentation of records, experiences and hopes of our youth. OYES as Professor Raji has presented it in this very readable book, is proof of the possible, and Osun youth has tasted of it. The book is also a much needed account of the work and dedication of FORA, the charisma of the Oranmiyan of our time, and all who made, and continue to make OYES, a dream turned reality; and, of course, PFG a realizable dream.« Ambassador T. A. O. Otunla
