Why Are We So Dark?
And when a consequence begets other consequences, should the final blame not be on the original cause? Eric and Rose struggle against the disapproval and hostility of Obodo-Uku community which expects their budding relationship to be short-lived. And just when light seems to be at the end of the tunnel, the corrupt powers that be swoop down to scuttle all that once seem so sure and so certain. Eric’s quest for vengeance takes the story to an unexpected, tragic climax.
“Why Are We So Dark? is the tragic story of a bedevilled
society that continually devours its best just to satisfy the corrupt and selfish
cravings of a few high and mighty… The story also subtly raises the fundamental question of
destiny and predestination. Is destiny a function of predestination or the outcome
of social interactions? Understandably, the book does not answer this question
but rather leaves it open-ended for its readers to make up their minds.
A story of love, corruption, betrayal and vengeance.”

If The Sky Weeps
“If The Sky Weeps is a collection of jabbing and punchy poems on issues bothering Mother Earth and her environments. Here, earth is no longer that spherical planet revolving round the sun but a mother, a very loving and caring mother, that provides bountifully for her children but one who is also capable of unleashing unimaginable havocs when sorely provoked.
The collection is a soul searching and emotional journey into the pitiable situation of an embattled mother who daily weeps for her wayward and stubborn children lost on the road to vanity – children who are obviously blind to the fact that the moment their mother ceases to exist, they too will cease to exist.”
