A New Life
Ahead of Peter, miles away from home in a foreign land, lay his toughest challenge yet. In the pursuit of his dreams, he would be driven to the limits of desperation, hunger and endurance. In his eyes, life could not be lived; it had to be survived. Although the generational adage of 'suffering and smiling' prescribed to Nigerians perhaps would represent most of Peter's life, with sheer restless determination, he would wrestle his future into his hands. In his long-awaited sequel to The Unexpected Truth, Oluwafemi Senu, weaves a story where the reader feels his emotional journey from the beginning to end. Written as a testament to less privileged children, his triumphant autobiography underpins the principal ethos that has guided his life: a dream is never achieved by the man who stands still, but the one who tries is at least a step closer.

Although he is now living in the UK, his story has not finished and he hopes to live again to complete his mission.
