This book is about the struggle for political freedom in South Africa over the years as having disintegrated into a struggle against corruption. Solomon Mahlangu, Chris Hani and many others gave their lives only to water the tree of corruption that has destroyed the core South African economy and has set in a new struggle for economic freedom. It chronicles the history of a nation torn asunder by a political theory (apartheid) that diversified an otherwise unitary state. Unlike other Southern African countries namely Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana, South Africa is a multi-racial-cultural state that needs an honest and truthful forgiveness and reconciliation to take its people forward into an economic freedom enjoyed by all and sundry. The book's focus is a vision aimed at seeing corruption, which agreeably steals from the poor, disintegrating; and a journey beginning to unite the people of South Africa to together build a corruption free society and an economy addressing fundamentals. Papering over the cracks will not help nip our many challenges in the bud. The nature of the problem necessitates a hard hitting nail biting analysis of the truth. Interrogate your thoughts - together let's build a new South African rainbow nation...

Trying to understand the nature of existence is a fundamental concern for all thinking human beings. Our ancestors looked at the sky, especially the night sky, and were filled with wonder about its symbols and its strangeness. From the seventeenth century, discoveries have dramatically changed man's view of the universe. Copernicus and Galileo changed the view we had of the solar system. Hubble proved there are billions of galaxies not unlike our own Milky Way and that they are expanding to God knows where. The last 150 years have expanded our horizons with the advent of miraculous discoveries in quantum physics, the big bang, relativity, particles of all shapes and sizes, black holes, neutron stars, entanglement, quasars, pulsars, cosmic background microwave radiation, not to mention nuclear power and atomic bombs. This book takes all this knowledge in an interesting direction, focusing on consciousness, on man's journey in light of the new discoveries and new knowledge. It raises questions about what precisely evolution is, about the mysteries of creation, about the essential meaning of the wave function, and it will make the reader wonder even more why we wonder why, why we wonder why we wonder.

This book is what it is, an autobiography, better still, a graphic representation of my difficult but joyous upbringing in a communal setting marshalled by a most wonderful and loving mother, aunties, and uncles, the harsh cultural and traditional norms that daily confronts and subjugates our existence. The book showcases the struggles of one man from his native Nigerian state to the United Kingdom where he experienced myriad trials that blighted his life and career yet surmounted all the challenges to live life to its' fullest. This piece of work lifts the lid on racism and how it can change the psychological and mental state of a man for better or for worse. It is also an encouraging piece of work, directing many to be resilient, focused, tenacious, be disciples of hard work, maintain strict discipline of their emotions and never give up on their dreams. It is emotive, energizing and a very inspirational read.

The writing of Godly option for relationships was inspired by my continues search of the scriptures. My Bible tells me that grace and peace is multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord .. 2 Peter 1: 2 and I'm surely in desperate need of the grace of God for ministry. The more I searched the scriptures the more I understood the operations of the kingdom of God. Godly option gave a glimpse of how eternal life operates, how God's word takes on flesh when it meets with faith in the spirit of the hearer. There are certain truth in God's word too deep to share with those not matured enough to receive them. Godly option for relationships was able to bring the word in simple terms for easy understanding of deep things. It is worth stating that the challenges faced by most believers are most cases down to lack of depth in the word.At a time when sexual perversion, immorality and divorces are so rampant in the body of Christ, godly option for relationships could be the scriptural guide for those in search of the right option and direction.My mentor Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted in several parts of this text and I thank God for such a great man that God has privileged us to have in the body of Christ at such a time as this.

Confessions of a Moonflower is a book that aims to normalize mental illness in a world quick to stigmatize it. Its goal is to show that it is okay to not be okay and that a person's worth is not compromised by suffering from a mental illness.

Sleep-the lookalike of what we are when we take our last and final fall on the canvass, floor, any ground, bed, or wherever and howsoever that happens-is a prized gift and possession of all mankind and womankind and is a routine that everyone goes through when it is not yet time for that fall off the cliff. When it is not there or does not come when it should come, it immediately becomes cause for concern-a serious cause for concern. Therefore, no one disturbs anyone who is sleeping-even the dog who we advise for us to allow to sleep if he is lying down because he could be more deadly dangerous if he were lying down but with his eyes wide open. But unlike death from which there is no return, we come back as many times as we go to sleep to face what we left off at the time that we took off to the unknown, to do better than we did before or as much as we were doing, to do nothing sometimes, and at other times, to go back to sleep again if we do not have the liver to face what we see in our waking consciousness. This is the story I have told here of a heroine and a hero. I hope you like reading it.
