Tai Solarin: Africa's Greatest Educationist and Humanist

Mayflower School, Nigeria, was founded in 1956 by Dr. Tai Solarin, who, with his British wife Sheila at his side, was totally dedicated to producing academically and intellectually-sound students, who were also trained in the practical aspects of life, such as farming, cooking, electrical wiring, plumbing, baking, building, Man 'O War, and others. It was hard to find such students unemployable. They were trained to dream big and be high achievers. This is a personal account of one of the students, Dele Babalola, who experienced this unique training.
