Ruyi's World of Books & Stories

Between Facebook and YouTube, I really can't tell which has got the better part of my attention. As an internet citizen, I have a compound on Facebook, while as an addict of knowledge, YouTube subscription reflects heavily on my budget. I have lots of favorite clips on YouTube ranging from documentaries, interviews, Ted talks, stand-up comedy, sermons and tutorials. Sometime last year I stumbled on a clip on YouTube where Daddy Freeze interviewed Timaya in his mansion. It lasted for about two hours, and I stayed up all night to savor every bit of it. Weird, right? Not at all. Timaya told a story about hi short trip from Abuja to Lagos. Upon his arrival at the airport, he met unusual heavy security presence. After his inquiry, he was told that the security operatives were the  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).  They had come to arrest former governor; Fayose of Ekiti state. While he sorted himself out, Fayose arrived at the airport and was imme...

I am a Christian. I write  middle grade adventure fiction and picture books. Also, I write  tract, pamphlets and little Christian books . Most of my books are in paperbacks and they are not published online. They are sold directly to schools in Nigeria. In Nigeria alone, I have been so fortunate to have my books published by:   Learnrite Publishers, Apex Books Limited, Pekan Ventures, Net continental Publications and recently Human Change Communications Company.   All these publishers distribute their titles directly to schools  (public and private)  in Nigeria. Also, I have two publishers overseas  (Open Books and Bouncing Ball Books).  One is defunct and the other is doing well. But someday our marriage will be over.

While most of my books have themes and m...

Ruyi: Tell us something about yourself, where you are based, and how you came to be a writer. My name is Sam Akowe. I was born 63 years ago in Oza-Nogogo town in Ika South Local Government of Delta State of Nigeria. I am the youngest child of a family of six (4 men and 2 women). I left Oza in 1968 to Agbor in Delta State (then Mid-West) during the Nigerian civil war. I later relocated to Lagos in 1973.   When my father died in 1963, continuing my primary education became very difficult. When my mother could no longer cope, she withdrew me from school, therefore unable to complete my elementary education.   She handed me over to a local trader who also had a shop at Agbor to become a shop assistant at the age of 12. I left Agbor for Lagos in 1973 having served my “master” for three years without any reward. On arrival in Lagos, I wanted to continue my education but my elder brothers who I had joined in Lagos where in no financial position to sponsor me. ...
