In the quiet town of Owu-Ikosi in Lagos State, a remarkable story began with the birth of Caleb Ogunpehin Odusanya Ososami in 1882. His life was shaped long before he took his first breath, when his father, Neko, entered into a consequential marriage with Ogunpehin, the widow of his late brother. This union changed the direction of their family and laid the foundation for the legacy Caleb would eventually build. This deeply engaging biography follows the extraordinary journey of a man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most accomplished kola nut farmers of his generation. Caleb was a pioneer who embraced innovation, worked with unwavering determination, and built a prosperous agricultural enterprise during a time of significant social and economic change in Nigeria. Beyond his achievements in farming, Caleb devoted himself to shaping the future of his children and community. He believed strongly in the value of education, discipline, personal excellence, and responsible leadership. His guidance produced generations of men and women who carried his influence far beyond Owu-Ikosi. When Caleb passed away in 1944 at the age of 62, he left behind more than a thriving business. He left a legacy of courage, resilience, and service that continues to inspire those who know his story. The Life and Times of Caleb Ososami captures the journey of a man whose vision and character transformed his family and community, offering readers a powerful portrait of purpose, determination, and legacy.
