Born Into Journalism Kayode Soyinka

Finally, let me warn that writing a memoir can be a very sensitive venture, especially because one is exposing oneself, one's family, friends, acquaintances and other people whose names have to be mentioned. Writing a memoir is not writing fiction. A memoir must be factual. Most of the people I have mentioned in this memoir are people with whom I have interacted, or worked closely with; people who have contributed in one way or another to what I am today as a journalist and publisher; and even, if I may say so, as a person. This is the true story of my relationship and experiences with them. I apologise if anyone of them feels embarrassed or offended that they are mentioned or revealed. It is not intentional. I have only written my memoir, which is the true story of my life and career. I am alone responsible for any errors of fact or interpretations in this book.
