It tells the story of the quintessential broadcasting great, Mr. Yanju Adegbite, and lays out the circumstances of his birth, his family history and other details. The book also discusses his faith, especially how he got born again after so many years of groping in the dark.

In the book, we read about Yanju Adegbite’s professional and personal passion and his somewhat unplanned but providential opening of the radio station where he worked as a studio manager on 16th October 1974. Other exploits like his opening of three broadcasting stations owned by Oyo State as the first face and voice are recorded, the famous combination of Yanju and Adeola on the D&Y Connection Show which made its debut on Easter Monday in 1985 and stayed there for the next five years until Adeola Alagbe retired. Other highlights include his partnership with the great Alex Conde, among other things.
