Upcoming Fantasy Series: gods on Trial by Opeshum Patroz
“Beyond the Father" sets the scene for the 8-book
Epic "gods on Trial: The Series," delving into life's
determination to transcend all limitation. Set on the planet Xżyber, citizens
of the Sub-median Region, imperfectly reborn into metal, oppress those who are
still organic. Elsewhere, in the Central Kingdom, religion supports royalty's
brutal domination of the lowest class. War over scarce resources is coming,
while revolution within each region is brewing, and none appear to know of the
eccentric god who created them. This entity watches, has fascinating
conversations with his often-wiser companion, occasionally learns but rarely
intervenes. The many levels and threads of struggle distract nearly all from a
far greater threat. Meanwhile, the young Prince Anglid's vision quest into the
unexplored Area X may ultimately change everything. However, just when you
think you know the direction of the story, the author has yet another surprise.

NEW RELEASE: A Journey with Plato and My Monkey Toward Ground Zero by Khaled M Issa
Do you know your monkey? Do you truly know who you are or how you became so?
I was living in an illusion in the world that I thought I knew. I had painted such a great picture of myself, that I loved so much. My shortcomings and uncalled-for poor personal behaviors were always justified by either nature or by the presumed faults of others.Then I met my monkey and we decided to take a journey together with Plato, representing knowledge and wisdom. We discovered that nature and people, most of the time, have nothing to do with our bad habits and poor behavior.
Join us in a journey of searching for the best version of ourselves by going back to ground zero. Then and only then shall we live the true essence of happiness, prosperity, and peace of mind.

Nigerian Editors and Writers as Free Community Laborers
By Farooq Kperogi
If I get a dollar for every time random Nigerians that I don’t know from a hole in the wall want me to edit stuff (entire book manuscripts, articles, proposals, etc.) for them for free, I’d be a multimillionaire!
But seriously, what sustains the idea in Nigeria that writers and editors are complimentary communal intellectual wells from where everyone can drink?
You don’t ask a doctor to treat you for an illness for free. You don’t ask a lawyer to defend you in court for free. You don’t ask an accountant to do your taxes for free.
In fact, you don’t ask a graphic designer to design logos for you for free. Only writers and editors are expected to offer free labor—as if they didn’t spend time and money to acquire their skill or don’t require effort and time to render their services.
We creative types are probably responsible for why we’re taken for granted. We're willing victims of what one scholar by the name of Andrew Ross calls "cultural discount" whereby "artists and other arts workers accept non-monetary rewards – the gratification of producing art – as a compensation for their work, thereby discounting the cash price of their labor."
I used to edit for lots of Nigerians for free out of a sense of community service, but 8 out of 10 times I won’t even get a mere “thank you.” I answered people’s grammar questions by email, and 8 out of 10 times I never received an acknowledgement much less an expression of gratitude. That caused me to question what I was doing.
Contrast that to my experience in America. When even friends want me to help with editing their work, they unfailing ask how much I charge per word, and never fail to thank me afterward.
I’ve earned enough money from editing and rewriting academic articles for American scholars in my spare time that my wife and I decided to set up a small business called FAMEK Global Consulting, LLC.
Now each time random Nigerians send me those casual emails asking me to edit stuff for them, I send them the link to my rates per word. They never come back. 🤣
A few months ago, someone wanted me to edit a book containing the speeches of a governor (yes, a serving governor!) for free. I sent him my rates and said it was up for negotiation. I never heard back from him.
I have a full-time job as a professor, researcher, and father. I also have a small business that I run. Where do I have the time to edit people’s articles, books, speeches, etc. for free?
I know I speak for many Nigerian editors and writers whose learning and skills are taken for granted by several people.

Obi’s Campaign Council Shows He Isn’t Different from APC and PDP
By Farooq Kperogi
Peter Obi's initial presidential campaign council proves the point I've always made in private to his fervid fans: after all is said and done, Obi is just another Establishment Nigerian politician who has neither the willingness nor the capacity to be the different and transformational leader that his supporters think he will be.
He's merely riding on the crest of the wave of mass discontent with the status quo.
The list isn't just inexcusably insular (Igbo men are even state coordinators for Sokoto and Lagos!), it is also riddled with the type of embarrassing clerical errors and oversights that we've become accustomed to from Nigerian governments.
If I were a man that idealistic young men and women have elevated to near sainthood as Obi has been, I would look through the list carefully, ensure there are no clerical errors in it, think through the optics that the names in it will communicate, and be careful to not come across as indistinguishable from the establishment parties because it's the first hint of what he'll be as a president. He failed in that elementary duty--much like Buhari.
That’s why former Defence spokesperson John Enenche who said two years ago that “videos of shootings in Lekki tollgate were photoshopped” was appointed to Obi’s presidential campaign council.
The inclusion of Enenche on Obi’s campaign list is significant because the core of Obi’s youthful supporters who’re engaged because they’re enraged are drawn from #EndSARS agitators for whom the cover-up of the massacre of protesters in Lekki is a sore point.
To put a denier of the mass massacre of their comrades in the campaign council of a candidate they support and campaign for is both insensitive and disrespectful.
And why does a campaign that is fueled by a desire for difference need nearly 1,300 people to sit in a council? That’s unwieldy. How is it different from APC and PDP? In fact, APC and PDP are better. APC’s initial list was just 422 and PDP’s was 520.
If his presidential campaign council was going to be worse than APC's and PDP's, why did it take him so long to unveil it? This sends off uncomfortable Buhari vibes.

HOW OVER 100 BOKO HARAM SUSPECTS IN KIRIKIRI PRISON, LAGOS WERE RELEASED, FLOWN TO BORNO, KANO
…in exchange for the freed 23 Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims
S’Reporters reports
Over 100 people arrested for alleged links with Boko Haram and detained at the Kirikiri Correctional Centres have been released.
SaharaReporters gathered that most of the released suspects were arrested in Borno, Bauchi and Kano states on suspicion of being members of Boko Haram in late 2009 when the police and other security agencies embarked on raids that led to the arrest of many members of the terrorist organisation.
“Over 100 Boko Haram suspects held at Krikiri prison were released last Friday. On Wednesday, the suspects started selling their properties in prison in preparatory for their release.
“The Assistant Controller-General came to Kirikiri on Thursday and announced their release. A big vehicle was brought on Friday and they were transported to the airport,” a source told SaharaReporters.
Another source however said the prisoners were freed as part of a swap deal with terrorists for the release of the 23 remaining abducted passengers of the Abuja- Kaduna train attack.
On March 28, a train on its way from Abuja was attacked by bandits in Kaduna State.
Several persons were killed while many were abducted during the attack.
Last Wednesday, the remaining captives were released by the gunmen.
“It was actually a prisoner swap demanded by Boko Haram, in exchange for the remaining 23 Kaduna train passengers kidnapped by the sect on the 28th of March 2022,” the source said.
The Legal Aid Council had recently kicked against the continued detention of some of the suspects.
“Some of the suspects were arrested in their homes, business premises, mosques, or travelling on the highways during raids carried out by the police,” Daily Trust had quoted an official of the council as saying.
“From our investigation, more than 160 persons were arrested, but we now have 101 still in detention. They were initially 104, but three died in detention while six others have mental problems due to trauma.”
He said the detainees were initially arraigned before courts in Kano, Maiduguri and Bauchi. He said the courts granted them bail but some of them could not meet their bail conditions; hence they are still in detention.
“They were separately detained in correctional centres in Kano, Maiduguri and Bauchi pending the time they would meet their bail conditions. However, in March 2011 they were all herded into a truck and moved to Lagos.
“We have 74 being detained in the Kirikiri Maximum Correctional Centre while 27 are detained in Kirikiri Medium Correctional Centre,” he added.
He said that after their movement to Lagos, there was an order that they should not be allowed access to their relatives. He added that many of them had lost contact with their relatives.
He said the detainees were charged with offences which mostly carried a maximum of four years imprisonment.
“What it means is that they would have even served their terms by now if they had been convicted,” he had claimed.
“They could not also be detained under the terrorism act as the law was passed after their arrest, and it does not have a retrospective effect.
“These people should be released or brought back to the respective places of their arrest and be prosecuted. This is a clear case of human rights abuse, which should be addressed immediately in the interest of justice.”

ABUJA-KADUNA TRAIN ATTACK: OVER N6 BILLION RANSOM ALLEGEDLY PAID TO TERRORISTS
Following the release of all the abducted victims of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack, over N6 billion may have been paid to the terrorists to set most of their captives free.
Terrorists attacked an Abuja-Kaduna passenger train on March 28, 2022, in which about 14 persons were killed and 63 officially declared abducted.
The attack, however, forced the Nigeria Railway Corporation, NRC, to temporarily suspend activities while President Muhammadu Buhari directed security agencies to rescue the victims.
23 remaining captives were, on Wednesday, released almost six months after they were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists.
The cheering news was conveyed by Usman Yusuf, Secretary, Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee, CDSAC.
A Presidential Committee, reportedly set up by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, to look into the abduction of victims of the Kaduna-Abuja train attack, secured the release of the remaining victims in the terrorists’ captivity.
Yusuf in a statement said: “I am pleased to announce to the nation and the world that at 1600Hrs (4:00 pm) today, Wednesday, 5-10-2022, the seven-man Presidential Committee assembled by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General L.E.O. Irabor, secured the release and took custody of all the 23 remaining passengers held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists following the attack on the Abuja to Kaduna train on 28-3-2022”.
Prior to the release of the remaining 23 hostages, some 40 abductees were released in groups after alleged payment of N100m ransom each.
Though the government and its agents have denied paying any ransom to the terrorists, reports said victims’ families were made to cough out N100 million each to secure the release of their loved ones.
“The terrorists collected the ransom in naira and US dollars. Only N200 million was collected in naira, the remaining N600 million was paid in the equivalent of US dollars,” one of the victims’ relations told journalists.
Another relative of the victims, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed to AIT.live via telephone that ransom money was paid, though he could not state the precise amount.
Meanwhile, Tukur Mamu, Publisher of the Desert Herald newspaper, who negotiated the release of seven hostages from the terrorists, insisted he was not aware of the payment of ransom to secure the release of the hostages.
While reacting to a report in the media that six Nigerian hostages paid N100 million each, while the seventh hostage, a Pakistani, paid N200 million before they were released, Mamu said the report may have been “exaggerated”.
“Money cannot achieve what I have done today. And I will never involve myself in any issue that has to do with money, Mr Manu claimed while announcing the release of the hostages”, he said after one of the batches of hostages whose freedom he claimed to have negotiated was freed..
Mamu was arrested by INTERPOL in early September in Egypt on his way to Saudi Arabia for Hajj on the instruction of the Nigerian authorities. Extradited to Nigeria, he is being held by the Department of State Service (DSS) on charges of collusion with “local and international terrorists”.
Going by media reports and family sources that each victim outside of the last 23 paid N100m to regain their freedom, and the criminals received over N6 billion in ransom payments.

Peter Obi’s Quiet Inroads into the Muslim North By Farooq A. Kperogi
In perceptual terms, Peter Obi started as an Igbo candidate, then became the southern Christian candidate, and graduated to the Nigerian Christian candidate. Now he is becoming a Nigerian candidate. This column analyzes his seemingly growing acceptance in the Muslim North and poses uncomfortable questions about his past--now that it seems very likely that he could be president.
Peter Obi’s Quiet Inroads into the Muslim North
By Farooq A. Kperogi
Twitter: @farooqkperogi
Several weeks ago, my 80-year-old paternal uncle, who is a community leader, called me to ask whom between Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu he should vote and canvass support for. That was a strange request considering that in 2019 he resisted my entreaty to him to not vote or campaign for Buhari because of the danger that a Buhari second term would pose for Nigeria.
He apparently sensed that I was hesitant to make any recommendations because the last time I did he balked. He was a true believer in Buhari even when overwhelming evidence had shown that Buhari wasn’t whom he had claimed to be. In response to my hesitation, he said he was asking because all I had told him about Buhari had materialized.
If I was right about Buhari, I might be right about the next president, he said. I don’t think that is accurate. I have no crystal ball to gaze at the future. I only predicted Buhari’s ongoing presidential disaster based on what was already happening, which his supporters like my uncle wore blinders over.
Anyway, I asked my uncle why he limited his choices to Tinubu and Atiku. He said it was because they were the only serious contenders in the race and that he had a hard time choosing between them.
I asked if he had heard of Peter Obi. He hadn’t. Not even remotely. And my uncle isn’t some uneducated, rural bumpkin. Although he lives in the countryside in retirement, he is a UK-trained medical professional who is politically active. At his request, I told him about Obi and said Obi’s name gets mentioned along with Tinubu and Atiku in urban Nigeria.
Like a typical Muslim northern Nigerian, he couldn’t get past the anxieties about an Igbo president throwing Nigeria into turmoil by using the instruments of federal power to declare Biafra, particularly in light of the recrudescence of Biafra movements and the mainstreaming of neo-Biafra sentiments in the Southeast.
I politely told him that he had his anxieties mixed up. The resurgence of Biafra movements and neo-Biafra sentiments in Igboland is the consequence of the feelings of exclusion from the center among the Igbo people. Electing an Igbo person as president would eliminate Biafranism—or push it to the fringes.
Given the wide geographic spread of Igbo people in Nigeria, I said, it isn’t reasonable to say that they don’t want to be in Nigeria. An insular, inward-looking people who resent the diversity of Nigeria and want to recoil into their own geo-cultural enclave would live only in their region.
Our conversation ended without any recommendations from me. Fast forward to last weekend. My uncle called to say he won’t only vote for Peter Obi but would campaign for him in the community. He said my siblings and cousins, whom he said had been influenced by my writing to become Obi supporters, had convinced him that Peter Obi was the candidate to support in the 2023 election.
(To be perfectly honest, I had not the remotest idea that my writing promotes the candidacy of Peter Obi because not a few Obi supporters have insulted me in the past over what I wrote about him. Although I’ve publicly stated my preference for an Igbo president in 2023 because I’m convinced that it’s the surest guarantee for Nigeria’s continuity as a united nation, I am entirely non-partisan in this election cycle.)
I’m bringing my uncle’s story because it exemplifies a trend I’ve been observing in the last few weeks. Although there is still a lot of indifference to—and, in some cases, resentment at—Peter Obi in the Muslim north, I am sensing a progressive acceptance of his candidacy.
Another person I spoke with from Kano who says he is now warming up to Obi told me several people he knows and interacts with in the Northwest are giving Obi a chance both because of the growing intensity of the hurt Buhari has inflicted on people in the region and the fact that the alternatives to Obi seem like Buhari.
Tinubu’s health scares, frequent medical trips to London, and struggles with communicating with the public are disturbingly redolent of Buhari. And although Atiku seems healthy and is evidently the most prepared presidential candidate, he is Buhari’s contemporary. So, his age counts against him, not to mention 2023 is the year for a southern president—as 2015 and 2019 were for a northern president.
I don’t think the easing of the apathy— and hostility— to Obi in the Muslim North will be sufficient to cause him to win the plurality of votes there, but it may get him surprisingly higher votes than most people are inclined to expect. Of course, in electoral politics predictions often have no more than a one-week validity, and this is particularly true of the 2023 presidential election.
There are broadly five voting blocs in Nigeria: the Northern Muslim bloc (which is sometimes not based on contiguous geography and can spread across the three subdivisions of the region), the northern Christian bloc (which is also not always based on contiguous geography and can encompass a wide stretch of the region), the southwest bloc (which is entirely Yoruba and customarily unaffected by religious identification, although this is changing), the southeast (which is entirely Igbo) and the southern ethnic minority bloc.
To win a presidential election, a candidate needs to win at least four of these blocs. No candidate, for now, dominates in four voting blocs.
Bola Tinubu appears to be dominant in the Southwest, although I sense that his health challenges are chipping away at his advantage there. Many people in the region who genuinely want him to be president have worries that he may die in office and allow the North to take over power again. Well, some northern Muslims had said that of Buhari (based on what happened to Umar Musa Yar’adua), and the man seems to be on the mend and looking way healthier than he has ever been.
Atiku Abubakar seems to be the favorite among Muslims in the Northeast (except in Borno and Yobe) with a potential to expand his reach to other parts of the Muslim North. His problem is that because he has always been liberal, cosmopolitan, and not delimited by religion, he doesn’t excite northern Muslims who define their identities in religious terms.
It’s precisely why he used to be more popular in the South (and in the Christian North) than in the Muslim North. But Peter Obi has stolen his thunder in his erstwhile electoral base, and this was the basis of a joke I saw on social media that says Atiku has in the bag all the votes he needs to be president in 2023—except that Obi is holding the bag.
Obi appears to have a lock on the votes in the Southeast, the South-South, and in such predominantly Christians states as Benue, Plateau, and even Taraba. Christians in southern Kaduna and Southern Kebbi seem more favorably disposed to him than they are to any other candidate. The major challenge of his popularity in the Southeast is that it may not translate to high voter turnout in light of the continuing violence and threats of violence by IPOB.
Muslims in the North-central and the Northwest appear to be the only noncommittal, persuadable voting bloc because they have no sentimental investment in any of the three major presidential candidates. They can swing in any direction.
Because Obi is making a mark, however imperceptible, in these regions where he was previously unknown, we should recognize that he is no longer the underdog that he once was. In order to avoid a repeat of Buhari, critical citizens should ask Obi hard, soul-searching questions because he could be president.
For example, why did he allow the Anambra State University branch of ASUU to go on strike for more than six months and even going so far as to sack the school’s vice chancellor “because of his alleged romance with the striking workers of the university,” according to the Daily Sun of January 19, 2011. How is he different from Buhari in this regard?
Why did he allow doctors in Anambra State to go on strike for 13 months, which led to many needless deaths? The doctors called off their strike without Obi meeting their demands. And he implemented the no-work-no-pay rule when Anambra civil servants went on strike to demand to be paid minimum wage.
While he was governor of Anambra, he played typical Nigerian politics of divide and rule. He played Catholics against Anglicans and even stigmatized political opponents as “Yoruba” people, according to Professor Okey Ndibe who wrote extensively on him.
“It is similarly appalling that a governor who reportedly has ambitions for higher political office could not restrain himself from disparaging Mr. Ngige as a Yoruba candidate,” Ndibe wrote in his April 18, 2011, column titled “Peter Obi, Akunyili and Political Folly.” “Even if we accepted the silly argument that the ACN was a Yoruba party – so what? Is the governor allergic to forging political alliances with the Yoruba? Is he not aware that such appeals to base, ethnic sentiments would return to haunt him if he ever seeks to be a political player at the national level?”
That was prophetic. This doesn’t make Obi any worse than his opponents. But because he could be president, we should interrogate him so we won’t be blindsided.

My biggest lessons from marketing my books and my business (I haven't talked about this) by Tamara Rasheed.
I really want to take you through what happened over those 13 months from March 2020 - April 2022.
I experienced the biggest transformation in my life over those 13 months and... you will see why.
In April 2021, after a solid 4 years of ignoring my need for professional development, self-love, and healing from trauma, I made the decision to give my previous book business another shot and to stop playing small as an author.
The closer I got to my successes in my old business, I would become fearful and it would keep me from being consistent.
Every step I took in that old business felt like trying to walk in quick sand because I didn't know anything about marketing!
I got referrals, but because the people referring customers to me weren't my perfect customers, the referrals weren't perfect customers either and working with them was really hard.
I ended up traumatizing myself because I was going through a lot (homelessness with 4 kids, losing my manuscripts for my own books, and being worried about my children while we went through it all) and I wasn't growing professionally to become an actual business owner.
When I started my business up again in 2021, I was ready!
I wasn't afraid to name my price for my services.
I knew exactly who my perfect readers were.
I knew all of their biggest challenges so serving them and making things easier for them was easy.
And I created a history of doing my inner work and that made me feel powerful and sure in my business.
I attacked any and everything that held me back and made myself a promise - I would never be the one standing in the way of my own success.
March 2021, I started focusing on courses to improve my communication and leadership skills and complete the past so that it was no longer writing my steps.
I owned the title Loving Leader!
June 2021, I stepped out on faith, took imperfect action, and hosted my first marketing summit exclusively for authors!
This introduced me to a brand new love for my business, a blue ocean of service that I can provide, and a brand new realization about how I can serve authors right where they are.
November 2021, I had a brand new business with a dozen clients - book publishing agencies, self-publishing coaching services, and authors with a message for the masses - helping you build the audiences that truly need you and have been crying and lost in life without your books.
2021 was my first 6 figure year!
But…
For those of you who keep pushing forward when it seems harder and harder every day to sell your books…
For those of you who keep putting everything and everyone ahead of yourself and your business because you don't know how to turn your business into something that can support you…
For those of you who hide in your cave to write because marketing has been scary and uncertain…
I just want you to know it's possible.
For me, the biggest transformations were:
Recognizing my fears and taking imperfect action in the face of what scared me in the past.
Thinking about who I am writing books for as early as possible and writing all of my books across genres with who I am writing for at the forefront of all of my ideas.
Getting really good at organic marketing so that paid marketing is a choice and not a go-to, and building an audience is automatic.
These changes don't happen magically.
They take time to put in place, but they can happen FAST if you have the right support to guide you there.
So I challenge you to create a vision for your book business by December 2022 - it's 2 months away.
Do you want to be like 2017 Tamara, stressed, traumatized, and dependent on others for her success while playing small as a business owner?
Or do you want to be like 2022 Tamara, healed from the past, fearlessly attacking her goals, with a 6 figure income in multiple streams?
If you want to chat about how to get there in the next few months, let me know.
I've helped dozens of authors build the book business of their dreams and create:
An audience of their perfect readers
A full pipeline of potential customers
A business they are proud of that supports them and their families

I want her back – Father of viral little girl in Peter Obi rally begs for forgiveness years after giving mother N6k to abort her
Just like we predicted, a man who claims to be the father of Chioma Success, the little girl who recently Obidiently and Yusufully become a star at #ObiDatti rally in Lagos, had surfaced.
In a video, the alleged father of the star child, recounts how he gave chioma’s mother 6,000 naira to get rid of the baby but was surprised that she kept it.
However, he said he wants her back despite trying to have her aborted in the past and would like to now formally marry the mom, adding that he had turned over a new leaf and now wants his daughter and her mother back as he’s ready to marry her.
He said that he’d chased her out when she’d refused to get rid of the child and reiterated his changed nature.
Many have accused the man of being an opportunist as the little girl has gained some fame with well wishers reportedly sending her cash and gifts for her support of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Recall that the young girl had been among those walking at a rally and had been raised by the crowd as she danced and gesticulated, earning her the title ‘Obidient baby’.
The little girl and her mother were reportedly given a new well-furnished apartment.
It was also reported that the mother and daughter received over N2 million from kind Nigerians who were impressed.
Me: what an idiot!!!
