About the Author

YEMI EDUN: THE ‘DIPLOMAT’ IN THE HOUSE
My bowler-hat-wearing friend, the ever-brilliant Yemi Edun, has just written a book on Nigeria’s High Commission in the UK. The book is titled ‘Number One Mission.’ According to Yemi, he was pushed to write this book due to the High Commission’s historical antecedents and its unique positioning in the lives of the many Nigerians who live and work in the UK.

In writing this beautiful book, he took advantage of the intimate relationships he has had with the staff of the High Commission to better understand the commission’s role and mission, especially as it concerns the lives of Nigerians.
Yemi is a well-respected UK-based real estate guru with a huge network within Nigeria’s financial sector and with the political and economic elites. His clear understanding of the cultural ethos that makes up Nigeria on both sides of the Atlantic puts him in a perfect position to curate the information in the book.

He launched the book at the posh Metropolitan Club in Victoria Island and the quality of people that came out was a strong testament to his reach and influence.

The other day, he presented the book to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who was very excited to have a copy. The book is a must-have not only for Nigerians in the UK but for every Nigerian who is really ignorant of the roles these Embassies and High Commissions play in our national development. I have a copy and have read it, and I must say that Yemi did a very good job on the book. Well done, my brother.
