In a nation where noise is power and only the known survive, one young man dares to rise without a name, a voice, or a sponsor.
Damilola is not your typical candidate.
No party is backing him. No posters flood the streets.
All he holds is a worn-out Bible, a burning vision, and a heart that refuses to give up.
Mocked by friends, silenced by fear, and haunted by the weight of a humble background, Damilola enters a race that wasn't meant for someone like him - a race where the real enemies are invisible and the loudest battles are fought in secret.
But could this unseen candidate be the answer a broken generation has been praying for?
Will faith be enough when the system is against him? Or will his voice be lost in the noise?
The Unseen Candidate is a gripping journey of purpose, rejection, divine calling, and the quiet power of a man who chooses to believe - against all odds - that destiny does not need permission.
OVERVIEW:
In a town where elections are bought with rice and lies, one young man is sent by God - not with money, but with a message. He's unknown, unqualified by human standards, and unprepared for the level of betrayal, warfare, and heartbreak that awaits. But he learns that even when no one sees you... God does.

IF I AM PRESIDENT
They say a child who falls and rises again has strength the ground can never understand. I didn't know if I was rising or just pretending not to fall, but one thing was clear... the winds had changed. The first Monday after New Year's came in like a cock's crow before dawn: "The holiday is over. Tie your shoes of seriousness." They also say the first 100 days of power reveal a leader's worth. For me, it wasn't in Parliament but in a dusty classroom, where your biggest manifesto was spelling your name right and answering without shame. Where applause came not from citizens but a teacher saying, "Good, Bekoe. Very good." Yet my stammer was a curse, heavy as stone. My words came in broken waves. "Ma...Ma...Madam, pl-please...I f-forgot my b-book." I was mocked, pitied. And pity is worse than punishment. It silenced me. One Harmattan morning, as Mom stirred groundnut soup, she sighed to her friend: "Ghana ayɛ den paa... nipa bɛyɛ biribiara de apɛ sika... even pastors are no longer safe. Politicians? They eat and leave us to suffer." Then a radio cut in. 6th March. A grainy voice rose: "Ghana, our beloved country is free forever..." The words struck me. I whispered them again. And again. My mother turned, laughing, "Eei, woayɛ Kwame Nkrumah anaa?" "Who is that?" I asked. "Our first President," she said softly. From then, those words became my seed. They were the only words I could say without stumbling. I said them to my pillow, my wall, even the goats. One evening, I whispered nervously, "M-m-m-maa...I...I want to b-be...President one day." She froze, then sighed: "Bekoe, don't joke with your life. Your stammer alone... who will vote for you? Be a soldier or policeman. You have the body." It wasn't malice, it was love. That's what hurt most. Because when your mother doubts your dream, it begins to feel like a hallucination. Still, I held on. Maybe courage. Maybe a cure. Maybe the day my voice would finally rise without fear.
The Distance Between Us
Fatima has been through everything-from a failed marriage to a crippling lack of confidence. She thought she had all the time in the world to figure out her feelings for Mustapha Ibrahim. But when things became too real, too overwhelming, she chose distance over confrontation. Now, time is no longer a luxury-Mustapha is sick, and the man who once seemed invincible is slipping away. Once celebrated as one of Nigeria's brightest young architects, Mustapha built his career with unwavering confidence. He had it all-success, admiration, and the quiet hope that Fatima would one day be his. But life had other plans. His diagnosis changed everything, stripping him of control and forcing him to confront a future he never envisioned. Now, with fate pressing down on them, Fatima returns-determined to make amends and hold onto whatever is left of him. But Mustapha has already let go. He refuses to tether her to a love that may not last, to a future that might end before it truly begins. Yet, despite the walls he builds, Fatima refuses to walk away again. As emotions unravel and the weight of unspoken words hangs between them, they must face the truth-love alone cannot change fate, but it can redefine the moments they have left. A heart-wrenching story of love, regret, and the battle between holding on and letting go. This is "The Distance Between Us"
Captive
In a city where chaos runs deep and power speaks louder than justice, Major General Damola Olowe-feared, revered, and known simply as the Commander-rules Lagos's criminal underworld with a soldier's discipline and ruthlessness. His word is law. His presence, a warning. Backed by elite troops and an iron code of honor, Damola is the last line of order in a state slowly tilting into anarchy. But when a high-stakes raid ends in betrayal, an ambush leaves him bloodied and alone, and five of his own men try to assassinate him in transit, everything shifts. He survives by sheer will-and the unexpected help of a 'frightened' stranger. Damola gives him one thing in return: a favor. A single, open-ended promise. Three years later, the stranger returns-not for money, not for power, but with a request that will dismantle everything Damola has built. He wants Damola to protect his quiet, delicate younger sister, Adunni, while he travels abroad. The Commander refuses-until the debt is called in. What begins as a reluctant favor becomes a war of shadows, as Damola finds himself caught between growing feelings for Adunni and suspicions he can't ignore. Because Adunni isn't just innocent. She's a pawn. A spy planted to bring him down. And behind her is a man with blood on his hands-and a plan that could end the Commander's reign for good. But Damola didn't rise to power by playing fair and he was ready to fight until the very end. He took them down before, he could do it again. He would. Obey the Commander-or be destroyed.

Hard Man
Although no one knew it, Desire was struggling. It was highly unbelievable because as a top worker in one of Lagos' most exclusive and influential night clubs, she was making thousands every night. All her other friends were living large, and building houses, so why couldn't she? Her father had died five years ago, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt. Her mother was sick, and couldn't do anything, so from an early age Desire had had to wear the mantle of responsibility. A twenty six million naira debt was on her neck, and for five years, Desire had consistently been paying it off; while simultaneously keeping a roof over her mother's head, and saving up money for school. Salvation came at last; but in form of the hardest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon? General Babalola Halal. He was offering five million Naira for a whole month of exclusive sex. Pure, undiluted gratification. It was her job, and this offer was coming on a platter of gold. Even more tempting was the fact that it was the exact amount needed to be free of her father's debt. Completely. But he was hard, and demanding, and excruciatingly virile. Accepting this posed a risk far greater than millions. The stark reality of losing everything she stood for, and gaining nothing in return because a man like this never gave anything of himself. He was rich, five million Naira meant nothing to him. But she knew what she was getting into, she knew how addictive his touch was, and how hard it was to stay sane around him. Could she do this? Was losing her sanity a price she was willing to pay?Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Against All Odds
"What is your name? " he enquired with a staid expression. Obi's eyes roamed around still trying to ascertain the safety of their current surrounding.
