They said he was blessed. That his name opened doors. That gold followed wherever he stepped. But no one saw the shadows that entered with him. No one heard the silence that followed his laughter. And no one warned him that some kindnesses come at a cost. Now, Obiajulum sits in the dark-rich in all the wrong things. Blind. Blamed. Alone. What happens when the house you built with love becomes a shrine of regret? When the child you fed calls your name in blood? Wretchedly Rich is a tale of beauty and betrayal, prophecy and possession- where not every guest is innocent, not every wealth is a blessing, and not every story ends with light.

poems on issues facing Africa as a continent

This is not a revenge story, at least not your regular revenge story. This is a story of compromise. *********** This story involves little bits of my life that I've never shared. So welcome to my world... Kinda 🥰. ********** Leya used to be the sweetest and most loving high school student, always cheerful and optimistic..... Until Davis happened, nothing remained the same even after 10 years. Sweet little Leya has been buried. Lauryn has been born !.

"Born for More" is a true story of struggle, faith, and the fight to rise above pain. From the streets of Rwanda to the dreams that refused to die, this is a journey of believing in yourself when the world says you can't. 🌅 No matter where you start, your story can still change everything.

A series of events, poured out from the depths of my heart.

*"I hated him first. Or at least, I thought I did."* When Elijah - the arrogant, too-smart-for-his-own-good boy - becomes my seat partner, I swear it's the worst thing that could happen in JSS3B. But somewhere between rolled eyes, sarcastic comments, and secret diary entries, something begins to change. This isn't just a school crush. It's letters I'll never send... to a boy who doesn't even know he's slowly stealing my heart. *Dear Elijah - a slow-burn, heart-tugging story of love, hate, and all the chaos in between.

The mind replays what the heart can't forget. To Aubree Okali, life is cold and bitter. Her childhood is part of the reason. Another reason is an incident that changes her life forever. Maybe forever. An incident that lurks like a void shadow in her heart. There's a bit of hope when Triton Damilola, a transfer student who has secrets of his own enters her story. He's someone she believes she could relay on and tell her secrets to which even her best friend knows nothing about. He's more than a confidant. He's more than that to her.

if you love story twists then read this!!! who killed chidinma??

A short story about how our much of our lives are influenced by inherited traits and behaviour patterns.

A comeback story told from the future - after he's made it. Family. Faith. Empire. Peace. Built before 20. ---

A look at abuse

A collection of standalone stories and poems exploring humour, heartbreak, love, and all the feelings in between-- stories born from whatever my heart decides to tell next. No rules. Just vibes and emotions.

The novel chronicles the life of Okonkwo, the leader of an Igbo community, from the events leading up to his banishment from the community for accidentally killing a clansman, through the seven years of his exile, to his return, and it addresses a particular problem of emergent Africa-the intrusion in the 1890s of white missionaries and colonial government into tribal Igbo society. Traditionally structured, and peppered with Igbo proverbs, it describes the simultaneous disintegration of its protagonist Okonkwo and of his village. The novel was praised for its intelligent and realistic treatment of tribal beliefs and of psychological disintegration coincident with social unraveling.
