“I help prisoners escape from prison.”
On September 8, 2017, My Youth Afripreneurship Town Hall in Lagos was filled with young Nigerian entrepreneurs and aspiring ones: students, traders, bankers, side-hustlers, business managers, engineers, and at least one very memorable social entrepreneur. About 425,000 viewers were also watching online! When Bashiru Adamu stood up to share his entrepreneurial vision during the Q&A, my first impression was exactly as he tells it here in his book, “Wow, wow, wow, wow!” He opened his brief pitch by telling me and about 300 others crowded in the room: “I help prisoners escape from prison.” Although this slight young man from Kaduna State in North West of Nigeria did not look like a jailbreaker, he got all our attention immediately. A few people laughed and then all grew silent. I asked: "You do?" and he answered without a hint of a smile, "I do!" He tells the rest of the story in this book.
Bashiru adamu writes striking words that will probably resonate with people everywhere, facing challenges at different times in their lives.

Bashiru Adamu has written a timely and important book. For too long, we have underrepresented incarcerated individuals’ potentials. We have missed the mark on realizing the impact of Prison education and the compassionate work with in incarcerated communities that could help transform people and society. In “Escape from Prison,” Bashiru Adamu presents an extraordinary strategy to provide quality correctional programming that opens minds and unlocks human potentials. This book leaves readers with a plan on how to create social change.

Mr. Bashiru is not just a writer. He is a doer. His years of dedication give credibility to the words of this book. Beyond the letters herein is a spirit of commitment, intelligence and goodwill. Your ability to sell a good idea is as important as having a good idea.

There are people you meet once in life and it’s forever! Bash, as we popularly call him, is a motion picture of his life. When I first saw him, I saw passion, zeal, excitement and readiness to take in everything I was teaching. You could feel someone screaming from the inside of him. When he was going for his service, my word for him, was “find a need and meet it.” He is a lead-leader in making many to break out of their cages! He is a catalyst and at the same time a doer. This work is a product of grit, gut, resilience and deliberate initiative. Bash is a gimpa (someone who always aspires to be different), a translator of words into ‘doable’. I call him, “The Inspirer of the 21st Century.” Once you pick this book, you won’t stop until you see the last page! You can fully empathize with every chapter and page! You can’t read this book standing still...!
