The Notable Quote of Chief Akintola " I will rather be the head of rat than to be the tail of an Elephant" will forever leave me wondering what an epitome of integrity, some will rather prefer fame, wealth and position   for integrity but not same with chief Niyi Akintola who put and end to his political carrier for justice equity and fairness and not because he does not have the opportunity to dance to the tune being played and dictated by the piper, whoever remember how he became the Speaker of Oyo State house of Assembly, how he got kidnapped and how he decided to uphold his integrity, justice and equity for personal gain will definitely know what am talking about. 

I have been wondering how can a man become a SAN without going through a secondary school education? this has always remain a misery and thus arouse my curiosity. i then decided to go on a personal research with really motivation, heartfelt intriguing and touching story of Chief Niyi Akintola which should not be seen unpublished on this prestigious forum, what a story worth daily profiling and re profiling. All all needs to really take time to read about a man became a Senior Advocate of Nigerian when hope seems to have been lost but will never give up.

Chief Akintola SAN was born to the peasant farmers parent but grew up with his grand father who took up the responsibility as the father and Mama Adepate , the grand father wife at the age of one, with such a wonderful upbringing and availability of necessary things of life, what a such gifted child who finishes primary school meant for six years in four years because of double promotions as reward for his academic capability  but had other side of life at the demise of the old man which put an halt to his academic pursuit for lack of sponsor, young Akintola had no choice but enroll into Mechanic workshop as his father who could not afford tuition demanded but decided to run away to become a Motor Boy at Ogunpa Ibadan .
