Pieces Off The Board by John Oguntoyinbo
What if every move on a chessboard could unlock a forgotten moment in history?
Kola, a gifted young Nigerian chess player, travels from Lagos to Lisbon for an international tournament. But as he competes, strange visions begin connecting the pieces on his chessboard to powerful moments from the ancient Kingdom of Benin.
Through figures such as Oba Esigie and Queen Mother Idia, Kola discovers lessons about strategy, leadership, diplomacy, patience, and courage. Each chess piece teaches him something new—not only about winning games, but about making wise choices.
Blending chess, African history, adventure, and everyday childhood experiences, Pieces off the Board is an inspiring story that shows young readers that true strength comes from thinking carefully, working with others, and protecting what matters.
My Country First: Michael Kijana Wama...
Michael Wamalwa was born to an aristocratic family in the vear 1944. His enviabe ranks through various schools and colleges was more a reflection of individual brilliance than family resources. But after getting a good education at Chewoyet, Strathmore, Cambridge, and the London School of economics, he enterred the Kenya parliament and stagnated in the back benches for almost twenty years.
It took the return of multi partyism for his skills to become noticeable, and as fate would have it, he found himself as the man of the moment in the prelude to the historic 2002, elections that heralded a new political dispensation.
Fortunately, he jumped the right way, and although he died just a few months after taking office as Kenya's 8th Vice president, his legacy of selflessness lives on.
The President’s Man. Book one. ...
What is known about Hassan Al Rashid, also known as El Diablo, is that he is untouchable. A drug dealer, gunrunner and partner of the Somalia Alshabaab, he has powerful protectors deep inside government.
But it is when a frustrated president sends ace detective Patrick after him and he is captured that it begins to become clear he is not just a crime lord. Part of something called The Partnership, El Diablo could be aiding the plans of a deeply secret and treasonous conspiracy built around the frustrations of the loss of the Shifta War back in the sixties.
And even as the president struggles to come to terms with the deep rot now uncovered in the national security institutions, The Partnership pursues El Diablo in custody, determined to either rescue or kill him to keep him silent.
Stampede is the first of a proposed trilogy called
The President’s Man.

A Kind of Madness book by Uche Okonkwo
A teenage girl from a poor family is dazzled by her rich, vivacious friend, but as the friend’s behaviour grows unstable and dangerous, she must decide whether to cover for her or risk telling the truth to get her the help she needs. A young woman and her mother bask in the envy of their neighbours when the woman receives an offer of marriage from the family of a doctor living in Belgium—though when the offer fails to materialise, that envy threatens to turn vicious, pitting them both against their community. And a lonely daughter finds herself wandering a village in eastern Nigeria in an ill-fated quest, struggling to come to terms with her mother’s mental illness.
In ten vivid, evocative stories set in contemporary Nigeria, Uche Okonkwo’s A Kind of Madness unravels the tensions between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, best friends, siblings, and more, marking the arrival of an extraordinary new talent in fiction and inviting us all to consider the question: why is it that the people and places we hold closest are so often the ones that drive us to madness?
I Dreamt I was a Rasta by Thomas Jeff...
I Dreamt I was a Rasta is a brave, original and deeply personal book. it brings together the voices of Rastafarians, activists, teachers, musicians and residents of Nairobi's informal settlements, showing Mathare not only as a place of poverty and violence, but also as a centre of political thought, beautiful creativity, resistance and hope.
The Natural Environment! My other Thr...
This book examines the natural environment as an integral dimension of human identity, framing it as the 'Other Threatened Self.' The 'Other' is understood not as an alien entity but as that which shapes and complements human identity from beyond the self (a silent partner in existence).
From philosophical, ecological and phenomenological perspectives, the book argues that estrangement from nature is not only an ecological crisis but also a crisis of selfhood. The destruction of ecosystems reflects the fragmentation of human subjectivity; to forget nature is to lose the fullness of being. On the other hand, taking it into account restores an ontological wholeness where humanity and the natural world share their essence.
Modern technological relationships, however, tend to reduce the environment to a calculable resource, abstracted into units of use and exchange. Against this reduction, the book reclaims the environment as the 'Other Threatened Self,' reawakening the ethical imperative of responsibility in which care for the earth is inseparable from care for oneself.
Such a reorientation opens a path to ecological renewal, not through technical fixes, but through grounding human life in an ontology of interdependence and reverence for the more-than-human world. The book, therefore, proposes an integrative vision of sustainability that heals the fractured relationship between humans and their threatened ecological self, calling for a renewed consciousness that recognises care for nature as care for one's own being.
The Depraved
Returning to the rural district of Kerongo after four decades overseas, the narrator expects a homecoming defined by the warmth of Logooli traditions and the nostalgic scents of childhood. Instead, she finds a community paralysed by the memory of Ondori Ambura, a man whose life became a masterclass in psychological and physical terror.
Through a series of eyewitness accounts, the novella reconstructs Ondori’s descent from a promising student into a social pariah whose crimes, ranging from the slaughter of livestock to the brutal assault of an elderly widow, severed the sacred ties of Ubuntu. The Depraved paints a haunting portrait of a man who did not just break the law, but shattered the very moral fabric of his rural community, turning his own family home into a fortress of fear.
Steeped in local superstition and the weight of ancestral curses, the book captures the eerie atmosphere of a rural society waiting for a monster to die. Will the community members’ longing for peace finally be met, or will the shadows of the past continue to haunt Kerongo?
What Others Say
“Imali Abala deserves commendation for writing this courageous narrative. This is not merely a work of fiction; it is an unsettling piece of life writing where memory struggles against silence. Abala reminds us that devils do not always arrive with horns and tails. Sometimes, they emerge from within ordinary homes. It is a powerful narrative that forces us to ask not only who the monster was, but what kind of society produces them.”
— Prof. Egara Kabaji, Chancellor, Mount Kigali University, Rwanda.

THE POWER OF MINDSET
📖 The Power of Mindset — Book Description
What if changing your life begins with changing the way you think?
The Power of Mindset by Newton Martin is more than a book about positive thinking. It is a practical journey into understanding how your mindset shapes your decisions, habits, relationships, leadership, purpose, and ultimately the direction of your life.
What makes this book different is its practical approach.
Rather than filling you with motivation that fades after you close the book, it helps you understand your thinking, challenge limiting beliefs, develop self-awareness, and translate mindset principles into everyday choices.
Inside, you will discover practical insights to help you:
Understand how your mindset influences your life
Recognize and challenge limiting beliefs
Develop a stronger sense of self-awareness and personal responsibility
Build a mindset equipped for growth, resilience, and purposeful action
Turn challenges into opportunities for learning and development
Connect your thinking to leadership, purpose, and personal growth
Move from simply knowing what to do to actually doing it
This book is written especially for people who know they are capable of more—but sometimes find themselves held back by fear, self-doubt, circumstances, or limiting patterns of thought.
You don't need another book that simply tells you to “think positive.”
You need a framework that helps you understand your mind, challenge your thinking, and intentionally build the life you want.
The Power of Mindset is an invitation to do exactly that.
Transform your thinking. Transform your life.

BIZARRE CIVILISATION
About this book
Every day, Nuru serves coffee to strangers in a city that has learned how to look away.
When rent hikes push struggling tenants to the edge, a gentle caretaker becomes the target of their anger. At work, wealthy customers complain about cold coffee while news of missing children flickers across television screens unnoticed. Around her, suffering is everywhere—yet life continues as though nothing has happened.
As Nuru navigates the crowded streets of Nairobi, she begins to question the stories society tells itself about progress, morality, and civilisation. Why do ordinary people become cruel? Why does injustice become routine? Why do we remember some tragedies and forget others? And if humanity has come so far, why does so much suffering remain unchanged?
Through sharp observation, dark humour, and unflinching honesty, Bizarre Civilisation explores violence, compassion, power, poverty, memory, and the quiet choices that shape who we become.
