DELE AJAJA

Dele Ajaja, the Nigerian-born author, has worked with youths in the United States for more than ten years. Previously, he reported for TELL, Nigeria's leading newsmagazine. Later in 1994, he co-founded JUNE 12 Magazine, the erstwhile pro-democracy tabloid named after the June 12, 1993 election annulled by the junta led by General Ibrahim Babangida. Dele went into exile in Ghana in 1996 at the peak of military dictatorship in Nigeria. He relocated to the US in 1999. He dedicates his writings to the youth, tolerance, social justice, and the other issues that challenge mankind. Dele, who learned tolerance from his grandmother in Africa, now has his name on the Southern Poverty Law Center's acclaimed Wall of Tolerance in Montgomery, Alabama, USA. Dele has written several books, including THE HIDDEN TREASURES IN GRAY HAIR - Adults' Golden Words of Wisdom; TEAR DOWN THE IRON CURTAINS - A Letter to the KKK; and THE RETURN OF AL-QAEDA - When a Dreaded Terrorist Reaches the Turning Point.
