The author, John Akhile, is a man of varied entrepreneurial accomplishments in several fields. His range of interests includes fields as diverse from one another as international trade, real estate, and restaurants, demonstrating his keen interest in international affairs and the cultural underpinnings of society. In many respects, he is a true “Renaissance man” because he has great depth of knowledge and command in many diverse fields. However, his central passion has been the African continent and people, having concentrated on the issues hindering development and growth in African countries for more than three decades. This passion has led to one self-published book and “Unleashed.”
