This sobering work implores present-day Nigerian political and military leaders to reflect deeply on past bloody mistakes as they navigate complex dynamics risking further conflict.

Are darker forces again exploiting divisions? Have lessons been learned? Does real and lasting peace exist for all in Nigeria? By confronting painful history, Oluwa Street Evil Mobs 1967 sounds an urgent call for breaking destructive cycles that allow persecution of any ethnic group under the excuses of war. There must be accountability along with healing so the innocent victims documented here are honoured through non-repetition - and community replaces suspicion as guiding light.

The crucifixion of Jesus was not the simple event we imagine. All sorts of factors played a part including politics, religious rivalry and the need to destroy what we cannot understand. There are seeming inconsistencies in the bible story such as what happened in the long period between when Judas left the Last Supper and when Jesus was arrested. Common sense would suggest that Caiaphas would send his guards out as soon as he knew where Jesus was, but he didn't. Why not? Many people were involved ranging from the star players such as Pilate and Judas Iscariot to the bit players such as Simon of Cyrene. In this book each of these is given their chance to explain their role in their own words. They can say what they really thought of what was going on. The author finished writing his book with a far firmer conviction about the divinity of Jesus and how much his sacrifice cost him, than when he started. These stories have been used and appreciated by the author's own church and by friends who knew what he was doing. They have been used as devotional readings for Holy Week, in schools, as dramatic readings in services, for bible studies and to help students with their studies. They are also a good read and an effective way of introducing people to Jesus.

It explores a wide array of themes, from the intricacies of relationships to the wonders of transport, the changing seasons of life, and the beauty of animals and plants - essentially, there's a poem for almost every occasion. Crafted from my reflections on the world and events around me, including topical issues from the news, each piece resonates with a unique perspective.

I share this collection with the hope that you find as much joy and inspiration in reading these pieces as I have found in writing them.
