A Log in the Eye
Mulika School is the venue for two competitions: a Public Speaking Contest and the school presidency elections. Christopher and Anastasia, learners at the School, find themselves on opposing sides during the Public Speaking Contest where they speak passionately
about matters close to their hearts. The outcome of the contest sets the stage for a face-off between the two during the school presidency elections which follow. To what lengths will they each go to emerge victorious? Is it possible for winners and losers to be cordial and coexist in peace?
A Log in the Eye sheds light on the consequences of unhealthy competition dominated by deceit, malice and jealousy. It explores contemporary themes such as mental health, discrimination, elections, technology and reconciliation.

Many Fragile Things
Khaki in the Sun
ABOUT THE BOOK
Khaki in the sun is a poetic expression of the Nigerian experience. It shines a light on what we go through as a people, the battles we face daily in our individual capacity, as citizens living in a society where everyone lives on survival mode. The anthology does not only seek to tell, but to show by means of photography, where we currently stand, and how we fashion for ourselves tiny bits of joy amidst the chaos that is our reality. The collection employs the use of storytelling and pictures to show a vivid nature of life as it is within Nigeria, not what it ought to be, or what it can be - just what it is and how we survive through it.
In the Hands of a Poet
In the Hands of a Poet is a journey through the thoughts, emotions, and fleeting moments that make up our lives. These poems reach into themes of love, loss, faith, humor, reflection, and the quiet in-between spaces we often overlook. Some pieces ask questions, others offer warmth, and a few may sit with you long after you turn the page.
The verses in this collection explore what it means to feel deeply and to find meaning in the mundane. You’ll find poems that echo spiritual longing and others that laugh at life’s little ironies. There are verses about friendship, family, heartbreak, identity, and the slow unfolding of self-awareness. Some celebrate, some mourn, and some simply observe. The language is honest, sometimes playful, sometimes solemn—but always intent on making a connection. These poems do not demand agreement or perfect understanding. Instead, they offer space: space to feel, to question, to remember, or to simply be.
