Dotun Adesida is the forth child, and first born son, of relatively poor Nigerian family, that can trace its ancestry to a prestigious blue-blood lineage.
Born and raised in Akure, the capital of Ondo, a state in West Nigeria, Dotun’s family was relieved of the financial burden of his education through a generous sponsorship program. He completed his primary and secondary schooling in his local community. As a student Dotun displayed exceptional written expression ability.
His passion for writing, and his natural talent, made him realise that he could use literature as a vehicle to express his ideas and vast knowledge of his countrymen and women, to help people from other cultures gain insight into his beloved Africa.
Dotun quickly identified literature’s power to educate, change stereotypes and promote political values, and he quickly became committed to using that power to transform attitudes.
He is currently studying law at an institute of higher learning, and recognised his true vocation as a teacher. When he completes this course, he hopes to have the opportunity to study Caribbean Literature and Politics at the University of Columbia.
Other work by Dotun Adesida include: Ponderous Shadows and Gone Till Dawn, which he completed in 2003. Both of these titles are currently being prepared for general publication.
