Gentlemen of Edo
Ever heard of yahoo yahoo? 419? No? Well you've definitely heard about internet fraud and we ALL know the country notorious for it, but who started and how did it spread across Nigeria? Zikora Zimuzo is born into a family fractured by poverty and his mother, a resilient woman burdened by five children from different fathers, has always fought to keep them afloat. But it is Zikora's eldest sister, Adaeze, who has been his rock-until her marriage to a violent military man and her subsequent battle with diabetes threaten to upend everything. As Zikora enters the university of Benin on a hard-earned scholarship, he finds himself thrust into a world of new opportunities and hidden dangers. It is here that he gets close to his secondary school senior,Munachi A.K.A Moon, a charismatic yet enigmatic figure deeply entangled in the notorious cult known as the Gentlemen of Edo. Drawn into their orbit, Zikora is soon caught in a web of rivalries with other cults-the Fineboys, the Vultures, and the Daughters of Delilah-each vying for power and influence. His thirst for money and a better life propels him into the Gentlemen's fold, where loyalty is tested, and betrayal lurks around every corner. When Zikora is isolated from his old life, he finds an unexpected ally in Demilade, a carry over student in his class. Together, they embark on a perilous journey into the world of online fraud, using his wits and her desperation to carve out a future in a society that offers few gainful employment after graduation. As Zikora's choices lead him further into the shadows, he must confront the question: At what cost will he achieve his dreams? This is a gripping tale of survival, ambition, and the choices that define us. Set against the backdrop of a city teetering on the edge, it explores the lengths one 19 year old man will go to escape the past and secure a future, even if it means risking everything he holds dear.
LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.

THE HEART OF A GIRL
The Heart of a Girl is the unforgettable story of Chiamaka Okafor, a young Nigerian girl whose courage transforms her from an ordinary student into a symbol of hope. Born into struggle and raised by a widowed mother, Chiamaka learns early that life in Nsukka is not fair. She faces hunger, corruption, and the daily weight of survival. But when injustice strikes too close, her voice rises where others remain silent. What begins as a single act of defiance in a crowded market soon grows into a movement that shakes her city, her university, and even the government. Through protests, arrests, and sacrifice, Chiamaka discovers the true meaning of leadership: it is not about power, but about carrying the burdens of others. Her journey is filled with fear, fire, and heartbreak, yet also love, resilience, and triumph. At its heart, this is a story about the power of one voice-how the heart of a girl, though small, can burn with enough strength to challenge oppression, inspire a people, and change the course of lives forever. The Heart of a Girl is not just a tale of struggle, but of hope. It teaches that courage is born in fear, leadership is born in sacrifice, and true victory is not in riches or fame, but in the lives touched and the legacies left behind.Complete
