Born in Etemi kingdom of Ankpa, Kogi State, Prince Ibraheem Ele Ojo (God's gift) carries the blood of two worlds-the son of the Attah of Igala and a Fulani warrior mother whose courage and fire shaped his restless spirit. From childhood, he was both the pride and the headache of everyone around him: his stern father, his fearless mother, his watchful stepmothers, his two protective elder sisters, and the entire Etemi kingdom.
Brilliant yet mischievous, brave yet reckless, Ibraheem was destined for greatness but walked always on the edge of trouble. His adventures, pranks, and daring spirit earned him admiration from some and endless worry from others.
On one of his restless journeys beyond the palace walls, Ibraheem ventures north to Bicci in Kano State, where fate introduces him to Fatima-a princess of sharp mind, quiet strength, and uncommon beauty. Their meeting ignites a love that is both thrilling and dangerous, for no ordinary maiden can easily capture the heart of a prince.
But for the heir of Etemi, love is never simple. His family expects loyalty, his father demands obedience, and the elders insist on alliances that will strengthen the kingdom. To love Fatima is to defy them all.
Torn between the throne he is bound to inherit and the forbidden drumbeats of his heart, Prince Ibraheem must choose: will he sacrifice love for duty, or defy tradition and risk crown, kin, and kingdom for the woman who completes him?
A sweeping tale of royalty, rebellion, and romance, Forbidden Drumbeats tells the story of a mischievous prince whose greatest battle is not against kingdoms or rivals, but against the demands of duty and the call of love.

FROM SPITE TO SALAAM.
Washington D.C.-a city of politics, prestige, and polished façades. But behind the glittering embassy halls and crowded lecture rooms, two Nigerians wage a battle of pride and patience. Yusuf Abdulhakeem Ruma, a 27-year-old Ustaz from Katsina, has captured hearts across the United States with his eloquence, humility, and unshakable discipline. He lowers his gaze, avoids idle chatter, and lives by the principles he preaches. For him, dignity lies in restraint. Maryam (Baby)Ameenullah Bello, the second child and the only daughter of Nigeria's ambassador to the United States, couldn't be more different. Draped in elegance yet drenched in arrogance, she is beautiful, spoiled, and mercilessly sharp-tongued. She covers her body with grace but spares no one from her stinging words. When Yusuf's path crosses hers at an embassy reception, she mocks his calm composure, expecting him to falter. He doesn't. From then on, every encounter is a clash-her sass against his silence, her mockery against his measured patience. To her, he is infuriatingly self-righteous. To him, she is an untamed storm he refuses to entertain. Yet beneath the fiery exchanges lies a pull neither of them can fully resist. Slowly, spite softens into curiosity, pride melts into respect, and hearts once hardened by disdain begin to whisper of something deeper. In a world where appearances matter and reputations are fragile, Yusuf and Maryam must decide whether their fragile bond is worth the risk. Can arrogance bow to sincerity? Can patience tame defiance? From Spite to Salaam is a spirited hate-to-love tale of faith, fire, and the unexpected roads that lead two hearts to peace.Complete

DESTINED FOR THE CROWN.
In the grand Kano Emirate, Sultan Abdulrahman III ruled with wisdom, power, and an unshakable sense of justice. Yet beneath the glory of his reign brewed a storm within his own household. On the same fateful day, four princes were born to four different mothers-each one raised to believe the throne belonged to him alone. Prince Abdul Malik, the fiery eldest of Lady Muzaina, carried ambition like a sword. Prince Abdul Hameed, heir of Queen Ruhaima, was bred in pride and entitlement. Prince Abdulrazak, son of Lady Hafsah, mastered cunning and manipulation. And Prince Abdulsalaam, the youngest, born of Lady Maimoon, was unlike them all-an introverted yet peaceful soul, adored by the people and quietly cherished by the Sultan. Raised in the care of their formidable grandmother, Sultana A'isha, Abdulsalaam grew into a man who never fought for the crown, yet every word he spoke carried weight. His gentleness stood in stark contrast to his brothers' arrogance and cruelty, earning him both their hatred and the people's love. But the fragile balance of the royal household shattered when Sultana A'isha discovered an unconscious maiden, Arfah, during one of her evening strolls. Brought into the palace, Arfah's beauty and mystery captured the hearts of all four princes at once. Love became another battlefield, entwining itself with ambition, rivalry, and destiny. As secrets unravel and the struggle for power deepens, one question looms over the Kano Emirate: Will the throne be claimed by fire, pride, or peace? The Prince of Peace is a tale of power, betrayal, brotherhood, and the one prince whose silence may prove stronger than swords.Complete
