A SAGE OFF THE STAGE

Installed in every human is the desire and drive to be on top. It is amazing to observe the locomotive attitude that characterised the movement of some people along the ladder of life. For some it is fast and easy. For others it is slow and erratic. Worse of all is the countless number of people who have decided to pitch their tent at the foot of the ladder, with a pessimistic conclusion that the top is too congested for them.

Only sages get to the top of the ladder. As long as there have been ages there have been sages. History is filled with their stories. This book is yet another biography of a sage. Stories like this are handy as road maps for anyone to get to the top of the ladder of life.

Sages transcend time and culture. They emanate from every background imaginable. They punctuate every era of time that existed. If we place the spot light on Nigeria, the count can begin from King Jaja of Opobo the slave who became King, to Herbert Macaulay the educationist to Obafemi Awolowo the politician.

As the parade of time continues, the names keep popping up. Pa Kila, the oldest Nigerian preacher who passed on at the age of 167 still preaching the gospel, Jereton Mariere; Prince J.C Mosheshe; and the Owhorode of Olomu Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Ogbon Ogoni-Oghoro I amongst other living sages. Of a truth, only history can tell us the names of renowned sages.

A SAGE OFF THE STAGE is a product of a challenge that arose from a lifestyle of a personable personality, Late Olorogun Godwin Owonvwemevworhe Panama, alias Legbelegbe. This celebrity is an epitome of success. He worked his way through from the "guttermost" to the uppermost. He consciously ascended the ladder of life one step after the other. From being a lad in the village, surrounded with multitude of life's uncertainties and bundles of family problems, he was able to build a large business empire with network of businesses across the Niger Delta.

In this biography, a prescription of Legbelegbe's formula for success spiced up with his unique philosophies of life that guarantees the fulfilment of destiny is clearly postulated. Candidly however, the production of this book is not an attempt to paint a picture of a life of ease; rather, it is directed at empowering the reader with basic principles and philosophies of life. This writ is intended to deposit a self-motivating zeal in every reader zeal to climb to the top in life's entire endeavour.

Read and keep climbing.
