DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my four sons:

Julius Adedeji, John Adesola, Isaac Adetokunbo and Johnson Adeyinka; their mother Gloria Adanma;

to the memory of my:

father’s father Papa (Chief) Isaac Omolaja Sodipo;

father’s mother Madam Bilewunmi-omo Sodipo (alias Iya Ita-oloti);

mother’s mother Nee Alice Aina Ero-Phillips (alias Iya Alakara);

mother Madam (Chief) Harriet Olufunke Ibidunni Sodipo

father, Dr (Chief) John Adewunmi Akanbi Sodipo.

APPRECIATION

I will like to thank my wife, Gloria Adanma (Nee Okoroafor), for showing fleeting interests during the production of the whole project and to thank my son, Isaac Adetokunbo, for editing and proof-reading the book.

AIM

Any proceeds from the sale(s) or distribution of this book should be used in setting up a Fund, which should be invested in a safe investment. This fund should be called Dr Julius Adebiyi Sodipo’s Fund.

All the proceeds being generated from the sale of the book (or project) as well as all the proceeds from his estate should be deposited as Capital into the fund. The managers of the Estate Fund should not get more than 10% of the income generated by the Fund each year. The proceeds in the Fund should be invested in a relatively safe investment and what is generated should be called the Fund Income.

So, should any of the remaining of my estate, after deduction of any debts and taxes should be added to the Dr Julius Adebiyi Sodipo’s Fund. The monies in the fund should be distributed from time to time occasionally but regularly to my biological grandchildren, biological great grandchildren, biological great great grandchildren, and biological generations yet to be born with no conditions attached. For example, for those who are eligible i.e., my biological descendants, 30 percent of the yearly income should be distributed equally yearly rather than 5 percent monthly. Those who are managing the Fund and its distribution should receive 5 to 10 percent of the yearly income, as appropriate to use in maintaining the fund and as their fees.

The remaining 90% (or 95%) of the yearly income generated by the Estate Fund, reiterated here, should be equally divided between the biological posterity of Dr Julius Adebiyi Sodipo for generations to come including those yet unborn for as long as possible as far as the Estate exists.

The division of the Estate Fund’s income should be as follows:

Each member of his (my) biological posterity should get their own share from the age of 30 years old until the age of 55 years old, or they are no longer alive if this should happen earlier. As reiterated earlier their own share should be given to them yearly or more frequently if the managers feel it is in the best interest of the recipient to do so.

An independent legal firm (team) mutually agreeable to most of the stakeholders must be employed. The legal firm is to ensure the smooth running by the Fund Managers, to ensure that the managers keep to the protocol set out above or not to significantly deviate from it. The legal team should receive 5% of the yearly income of the fund as their renumeration.

INTRODUCTION

This idea and realism of writing this book came to me to write a brief overview of Segun as a teenager in his country of birth of Nigeria and to travel through his journey from then until about his retirement as a doctor.

There will be inevitable gaps, for which Segun whole-heartedly apologises.

A sizeable amount is allocated to life before his university days. There is a noticeable abrupt end and allocation of the book towards his experience as a medical student. This is done on purpose in view of the way Segun felt and still feels being unfairly treated towards the end of his period as a student in the University.

Efforts to introduce his experiences as a doctor are deliberate and apologies for any perceived idea of turning the contents of the book to more of science. Segun feels this is necessary to be able to show his experiences and knowledge as a medical doctor.
