People Scheme, God Wins: The Autobiography of Alake of Egbaland

People Scheme, God Wins is a chronicle of history, heritage, and destiny, the life and times of His Majesty, Oba (Dr) Michael Adedotun Gbadebo, CFR, the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland.

Spanning over four centuries, the book weaves together the remarkable story of a people and their land, from the founding of Abeokuta in 1830 to the shaping of modern Nigeria. It captures the resilience of the Egba nation, their triumphs and trials, and the evolution of their kingship through the ages.

Told with openness and clarity, the Alake’s personal journey mirrors that of his people and country: from his birth into royalty and his rise through the military, to his years in public service, business, and ultimately, the throne.
