Quotes from the book
What I can take from this, before unfolding what transpired between April and June of 1990, is to underscore the need for anyone desirous of success in any field to dispassionately review your life-changing decisions with your happiness and personal targets as the keynotes in arriving at your destination. It is admirable to be loyal, and be reliable.
It is more important to be happy and hopeful in the position or choice you have decided to take, or not to take. Do not allow yourself to be guided by the expectations of others on what is the best option for your life - be clear headed and certain that your actions are honest, progressive, and of great satisfaction to you.
When others benefit from what works for you, give thanks. If that does not happen, don't sweat on regrets; just pray, and hope for a better scenario. Life is too short to be spent counting regrets and moments of indecision.

Tony Tomiwa - Media Executive
Sweet & sad! Valuable lessons for today and tomorrow in business and enterprise. Partnership could be complicated. Good luck to the great FAJ.
Julius Ogunro - Journalist
Now, I want the book!
Adebayo Olowo-Ake - Communication Expert, Author
FAJ, when you guys launched out, you kindled a fire and inspired many other similar enterprises. Now your book will cause an "inferno!"
Thomas Peretu - Poet, Journalist
Quite refreshing. Especially sitting in the sidelines watching the unfolding of events in the precincts of the entertainment industry. Now that the real story behind the stories is being mined like rubies from the till of memory, there must be lessons to learn from history. Surely so.
Babatunde Segun Odubanwo - Assistant Editor
Well done, Sir. Our generation will not fail. By the grace of God, we shall do what is necessary to take this noble cause forward.
Dr. Reuben Abati - Columnist, Journalist, TV Anchor & Ex-Presidential Spokesman
He (FAJ) tells a very important story...and it appeals to me particularly because I was also involved, first in celebrity journalism...before I joined the Guardian… FAJ does a good job of flowing lessons of various experiences in the course of his six-year tenure in Fame. It's a book of great interest to journalism… This is a very humane, very revealing book about the practice of journalism, about the production of magazines, and the intricacies of (doing) business in Nigeria...
Sylvester Asoya (Ex-Editor)
This work is undeniably deep; a thought-provoking and interesting narrative that captures and documents an era of courage and sprightly adventures...

Tunde Kolawole (Publisher USAFRICA Journal)
"And perhaps the best gift from FAME: Untold Stories… is the author’s “two cents” tucked at the end of virtually every chapter in the book. This, I think, is a masterstroke that effectively takes the book and the gems it contains beyond “just for us” (journalists in Nigeria) to being “for all".”

Kingsley Obiegbu:
This style of writing reminds me of the days of Tell Magazine. The diction and choice of words are captivating, educative and masterpiece. I doff my hat for thee Sir. Wow
Sage Hasson: Writer, Artiste
It’s great writing... And if the book runs in this lane all through then this will be more than just a memoir but also a textbook for energetic free flowing prose.
Kay Lord (Public Commentator)
It's great to see one of the dramatis personae come out with a tell all book to clear the air and set the record straight.
It is a great read and a real front seat view of the drama about the rise and fall of FAME magazine...Kudos to FAJ!
Sola Adewunmi (TV Host)
Definitely Unputdownable! Got my copy delivered by Amazon late Sunday afternoon, started reading late in the night and did not put the book down until I read the last page at 2 a.m.
