The Rise of Rodedom
The Rise of Rodedom is a scenic, speculative novel addressing crucial political issues affecting Africa and the world. Drawing on Griffin’s theory that fantastical and otherworldly figures enable satirists to critique human folly indirectly, the novel critiques racism, negative ethnicity, and the flawed psyches of both Western and African societies. Its narrative predates pre-slavery Africa through colonial and post-colonial eras, exposing racial prejudices embodied through the evils of slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism. The imagery of cats and rodents symbolizes the predator-prey dynamic between the West and Africa. The author criticizes African leaders, like Kwame Nkrumah, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Mobutu Sseseko, for imitating Western ideas instead of forging original and indigenous-rooted governance systems. Conversely, it acknowledges Western leaders such as Bismarck, Roosevelt, and Churchill for their roles in advancing civilization, while also illuminating Hitler and Stalin’s destructive impacts during the world wars. The core, albeit speculative, question it explores is, ‘What if Africa unites?’ emphasizing that history and current affairs deepen understanding of the book’s allegorical structure. The narrative advocates for African unity under a federal government, underscoring the need for an original developmental path. Hyperbolic references to astronomical inventions symbolize the immense potential Africa could unlock through unification.
What Others Say
“The Rise of Rodedom is a historical novel that uses animal imagery to explore global dynamics, focusing on Africa. Andrew Nyongesa nostalgically examines Africa’s early history while predicting its future. He employs neologisms and allegory to transform factual historical data into an engaging narrative. The work is a poignant quest for the unity of Africa, portraying the continent as a nurturing mother, guiding father, and wise grandfather to others. Nyongesa’s style allows him to critique and challenge Africa’s issues boldly, offering insights for its future without reservation.” - Felix Okuku.
Beyond the Blackboard: A Testimonial
Beyond the Blackboard – A Testimonial is more than a teacher’s tale. It is the odyssey of a dream that refused to be silenced, carried across the Gusii highlands, the valleys, chalks and blackboards that became windows of opportunity for many Kenyans. Born in colonial Kenya to a family that did not have much, Mwalimu Nyong’a Obuba’s first classroom door opened only when he was ten. Though late, he was armed with grit, faith, and the unwavering support of his uncle, Meshack Nyanchama, rising to become a high school principal who shaped the future of many.
After serving as primary and high school teacher, Nyong’a was elevated to the principalship of a nascent Kiabonyoru High School. For two decades at the helm, he transformed challenges into triumphs, nurturing students who later went on to stride into boardrooms, science laboratories, classrooms, and other positions of power and influence. Beyond being an educator, his students regarded him as a compass, mentor, and a father as the school became a powerhouse in academic and extracurricular activities.
Now in retirement, Nyong’a looks back with gratitude. He bears witness to the quiet, world-changing power of teaching. This book is a tribute to resilience. It is an anthem to the nobility of education, and a reminder that the truest legacy is not inscribed in stone, but in the lives of others.

The Savanna of Silent Altars
The Savannah of silent Altars by Tobias otieno ogola traces the life of Kamau Otieno and Nyambura Beatrice, a family navigating the delicate balance between survival, faith, and moral endurance. Across counties from Migori to Kisumu, through the dust of rural villages, the bustle of cities, and the quiet flow of rivers, they face the unrelenting weight of government neglect, scarcity, and exploitative traditions.
Their children Akinyi Grace, Anyango Mary, and Obiero Daniel move through these worlds with watchful eyes, learning the subtle currents of obedience, hope, and endurance. Miracles are whispered, altars demand faith, and exploitative figures test both courage and moral resolve. Life unfolds as a careful negotiation: a rhythm of hunger, labor, ritual, and quiet resilience, reflecting the struggles that shape everyday existence.
This is a lyrical, socially conscious narrative, where personal tragedy mirrors systemic failure, and ordinary life becomes extraordinary through observation, survival, and the quiet insistence of human dignity.
What does she expect better?
Women's rights in Islam acknowledged by a Western politician: "Fourteen centuries ago, Islam beat the West by setting the pillars of women's social, economic and political rights. These are historic facts that cannot be denied. Indeed, Islam has given women the right of ownership, inheritance and the choice of the spouse. She was also allowed to participate in public and political activities all through the Islamic history. So here we are today, trying to reapply what Islam did 14 centuries ago, preceding the West and the Human Rights Organizations." (Extract of the British Ambassador in Cairo) Polygamy: "In my opinion, polygamy, as set by Islam, provides ultimate justice to women before men. In the Western and even Japanese and Eastern societies, there are publicly acknowledged relationships between men and women and there are the concealed ones. Indeed, most of the time, men do not content themselves with a single woman, which is their legal wife. They secretly acquire girlfriends. Polygamy is an ideal way of providing harmony and natural balance among people for many reasons. With time, the marital relationship might deteriorate, the wife's eventual sickness might keep her man at a distance, her sterility might create problems.. in addition, of course, there are many other reasons that make polygamy a grace for women before men." (Extracted from an interview with the Japanese writer "Soi Aora," The Arab Magazine, Issue 242, 1997)

Glass Houses (Grade 10)
Kito Makato, now the undisputed head of his family, is in for a rude awakening. Things are fast getting out of hand on the home front as his wife of twelve years, Kawira, discovers that ‘there is no peace without truth’ and, under pressure from an old friend, decides to lay bare her controversial past. Arguing that ‘God made woman to keep recreating her man over and over again’ and that ‘No man is a hero to his wife; even if she is a bushwoman,’ Kawira, a woman on several missions, uses silence; persuasion, threats, wit, sarcasm and whatever other ammunition she can think of to puncture all the bubbles thrown in her way. So, is anyone out there bold enough to throw stones into her territory ‘when we all live in glasshouses’?
Dear Dad and I
Dear Dad and I is a poetic archive of becoming, son, man, lover, dad. In these pages, you’ll meet a Nabadoon, peacemaker, who trades betrothal for burial. A newborn learning to scream. A whisper of a mother who vanished mid-laugh. From Mandera to Mogadishu, faith to folly, this collection slips between grief and grace with both wit and ache. With reverence for oral storytelling and the irreverence of a prankster soul, these poems refuse to stay in one place. They sing lullabies to daughters and lament lost cities. They wander, remember, weep, and laugh. Above all, they tell the truth the way only poetry can: sideways, softly, and when you're not looking. For readers who’ve ever been a child or still are, ever had a father or have become one, ever lost a home or a mom, or found one in language, this book is for you!
