education icon, Tai Solarin, written from the
perspective of a very close student who was trained by
him. Tai was unusual and deserves to be celebrated
because he dedicated his entire life to the service of
humanity, starting by building a unique Nigerian
secondary school from scratch with his British wife
without any significant financial investment but robust
physical energy, Spartan self-discipline, and a meteoric
vision. This was in 1956. This school allowed religious
freedom and full development of the human spirit;
motivated the students to become the best they could
be and taught physical and vocational education. The
students worked with the non-teaching staff to build
classrooms, cook, and process food; grow and harvest
crops; manage 24-hr water and electricity supply; bake
bread, raise pigs, poultry and goats for domestic
consumption.
