Mamaland and Other Stories by Nyabora...
"We all have the same rights to be here."
But how about when the place you call home no longer needs you?
In Mamaland, a train ride transforms into a reflection of modern-day Africa where strangers become neighbours, neighbours become foes, and all are seeking a place that they can call their own. With old wounds being opened and new divisions being created, there is one question that remains: What does it really take to call a land a motherland?
In these pages, the final gesture of love from a daughter will be the final goodbye from a father. Ambition and betrayal combine in closed rooms where the exchange of power takes place. Families are challenged by sorrow, strangers battle prejudice, and normal people show extraordinary bravery when life requires more of them than they thought they can give.

Of Deadbeats, Bastard Children and Pa...
Of Deadbeats, Bastard Children and Pagan Wives is a bold anthology that gathers voices from across the continent to tell the stories that linger in silence—stories of shame, survival, rebellion, and reckoning. Here, forgotten children speak, abandoned women rise, and the ghosts of family and faith return with questions no one wants to answer.
This collection peels back the layers of respectability to reveal what lies beneath: the chaos of love, the ache of rejection, the rage of the misunderstood, and the unexpected beauty in being seen. Each story crackles with emotional honesty, giving life to characters we know but rarely acknowledge.
These are the truths whispered behind closed doors. These are the stories we dare not tell, but must.

WHY & HOW HUMANS MISCONCEIVE REA...
In this Anthology, I show that the disciplines of Theology, Science and Philosophy have parted ways for millennia; making the understanding of the Universe problematic as is today; leading to my suggestion that they need to synergize in the 21st Century by embracing the abductive rather than the inductive Scientific Method of Bacon that has been embraced for such a long time. Furthermore, I take a detailed look at why and how nature is deceitful about the true reality and hereby propound a new equation that unifies the physical and quantum realms in the universe as was the last wish of Professor Albert Einstein. Equally, I also delve into the mysteries that shroud the black Moors and Egyptian Pharaohs; positing that they may have been from Kakamega Forest in Kenya contrary to the standard narrative by Egyptologists and western archaeologists and historians that blacks had nothing to do with Egypt. Lastly, I take a look at the female breast and associate its conical shape to that of the mysterious universe following the big bang and also the shape of the pineal gland that is man's third eye and center of knowledge and wisdom; positing that it might be a hidden coach of man and may be critical for societal enlightenment as might have been foreseen by the sculptors of nude female statues displayed prominently in public spaces across the globe in medieval times.
