On January 29, 1954, a baby girl was born to unwed teenage Parents. She had a mountain of obstacles already in front of her as a new born baby. Her mother was an eighteen year old housemaid. She was raped by a cousin when she was nine years old and later molested by a male friend of her mother’s and by an uncle. Above all, she was very poor. Today, she is a National celebrity and considered as one of the richest women in the world. I believe you know who I’m talking about. It’s Oprah Gail Winfrey. On the 2nd day of March 1942 at Ifewara, present day Osun state, a baby boy was born.

He was also raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his father who was a domestic servant to the British.
