Book excerpt: Growing up, Basil understood two principles early on – he was not physically or mentally suited to the drudgery that he saw throughout his village, and education could offer him a way out of his situation. After this early realization, young Basil relied on his Christian faith and hard work to successfully develop his intellectual talents and to take advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves. In many cases, each opportunity did not immediately come with the funds to support it. But the finances always worked out. Recognizing the sacrifices that his family had made to support his academic pursuits, Professor Ikede has conscientiously repaid the debt in kind and cash, helping family members and acquaintances to persevere through their own scholarly and personal challenges. Throughout his journey from boyhood in a poor rural Nigerian village to a successful academic at the University of Ibadan to a distinguished scholar at Atlantic Canada’s only veterinary college, Dr. Ikede has helped to pave the way for others. This autobiography is a testament to Basil’s determination to realize his own hopes and dreams, to express his belief in God’s goodness, and to fulfill his desire to help others.
