Life Memoirs
THE LIES THAT LIED TO ME
A Memoir of Love, Ego, Betrayal, Accountability, and Rebuilding
At forty-six, I have learned that a man can survive almost anything—gunfire, chaos, betrayal, and the crushing weight of public failure—except the truth he refuses to face.
Today, I live far from where my journey began, working as a security supervisor. I am stable. I am working. I am quietly rebuilding the ruins. In many ways, I am healthier today than I have been in decades. But there was a time, not so long ago, when the darkness was so dense I was not sure I would ever find my way back to the man I used to be.
If I had to summarize my forty-six years on this earth in a single breath, I would tell you the plain, unvarnished truth:
I have been to hell and back.
My footprint stretches across a landscape that sounds more like a cinematic thriller than a quiet human life. I have worn the uniform of the Kenya Police Force. I have walked the high-stakes, dust-choked perimeter of international security operations in Iraq. I have navigated the ruthless waters of private security, built businesses from the ground up as an entrepreneur, and tasted the intoxication of wealth and respect. I have known deep love, sacred vows, fatherhood, bitter betrayal, infidelity, messy divorces, financial collapse, debilitating depression, psychiatric hospitalization, and, ultimately, the slow, agonizing ascent toward self-discovery.
It has been a life that often feels less like a biography and more like a blockbuster movie. Except there was no director calling the shots. There were no stunt doubles to take the hard hits. There was no script to predict the ending. And when the scenes became unbearable, when the pain cut so deep I could barely breathe, there was no opportunity to shout, "Cut!"
I lived every single frame. I caused many of the fires. And I lost people I loved more than life itself because I was too blind to see the torch in my own hand.

Strategic Thinking: 10 Lessons from 1...
Organisations worldwide make the common mistake of believing that their carefully crafted business strategies will work as a matter of course. Unfortunately, history teaches us otherwise and there are many case studies that reveal how the best laid plans go awry.
However, the words of Benjamin Franklin, ‘If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail,’ still resonate with experienced strategists. The world we live in is rapidly changing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the digital revolution and globalisation. It can be argued that the business world is evolving too rapidly for strategy to keep up. However, some of the best insights from historical case studies and anecdotes can still teach us lessons that are relevant today.
In his book, ‘Strategic Thinking, 10 Lessons from 1,000 Strategic Plans’ Dr. Frederick Ogola draws from historical lessons and his own wealth of experience as one of the most sought-after Strategy Consultants in Africa. In this book, you will find insights on the role of organisational culture, process and leadership in strategy formulation and execution.
Strategic planning requires a great deal of thinking, consultation and time. The idea of strategic planning has permeated all facets of society, from football strategies on the pitch to strategic game plans for careers and even strategic life plans. The concept of strategic planning became popular in the 1950s and 1960s in the corporate world. Enthusiasm then waned in the 1980s.
There was a resurgence in the 1990s, which has remained popular to this day. Strategic planning is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. In the world of business, there are many unanticipated opportunities and threats that require a response. History is replete with tales of strategy successes and failures of the world’s biggest and smallest companies. It can definitely be rewarding to have the right strategy and understand the concept of strategic planning.
Strategy affects every employee in an organization. Organisational culture can have a huge impact on employee happiness, performance and productivity. The culture consists of shared values and beliefs established by leaders and reinforced through various methods that shape employee perceptions, behaviours and understanding.
In his book, Dr. Ogola compares the performance and non-performance culture. As an employer, it is worth understanding the nuances of organisational culture to boost productivity and improve the retention of your staff. Dr. Ogola has worked with several organisations over the course of his career. The book highlights some of his experiences working to transform corporates in Kenya.

In 1960s Lagos, a city enlivened with its newfound independence, headstrong Margaret meets British-born Benjamin, a man seeking his roots after the death of his half-Nigerian father. Despite Margaret’s reluctance, their connection is immediate. They fall in love in the dense, humid city, examining what appears to be their racial and cultural differences. However, as they exchange childhood stories during lazy work lunches, they uncover a past more entangled than they could have ever imagined.

By 2005, Margaret has retired to an upscale gated community in Lagos, and seemingly happy Benjamin lives alone in Atlanta, managing his heart problems with no options when asked to name his next of kin. But their attempt at a settled life is shattered when their grandson begins to show ominous signs echoing the struggles Margaret once faced. The former lovers are forced to reunite to confront the buried secrets they had dismissed in the passion of their youth—secrets that continue to ripple through their family.
A startling and propulsive tale of forbidden love, This Kind of Trouble traces the intertwined legacies of one family’s history, exploring the complex relationship between tradition, modernity, and the ways we seek healing in a changing world. With this debut novel, Tochi Eze announces herself as a dazzling new voice in world literature.
