I was born a dreamer. From as far back as i can remember i would often seek out a quiet corner and think about impossibilities becoming possible. In my early twenties as i was confronted with the challenges of our great Country Nigeria, i began to dream again. What would it be like to have leaders who would rule this country with a sincere heart and a passion for the people.
Dreams confer faith and so i became a believer in the future of my Country and the possibility of prosperity of my people.
In November 2002, i was at a night vigil in London, when the Pastor of the Church - Charles Abraham said a word that touched me. "If we are not careful, we can accept the way our nation is and settle for less."
That did it for me. I decided to leave the realm of dreams and the realm of complaining / grumbling about what could or should be. I decided to be a written voice saying - if the American Dream can come true; If the Aireginan Dream can come true; then it is time for us in Nigeria to lift up our eyes and view our promised land.
The Aireginan Dream is all about possibilities. I hope you enjoy reading it

Tailed is my first published novel. I hope to write many more.The whole experience was exhiliarating for me because it looked like a long shot but then it happened.
Tailed is the story of a family of five. They couldn't understand why the things that were happening to them, were happening to them.
For years it was hopeless until suddenly they found hope
Then they understood.
Tailed would make good reading for all, because often we don't know why.
