The Weight of Tomorrow (Adaobi’s Sky) is a poignant tale woven with the warmth of African culture, the wisdom of Igbo proverbs, and the bittersweet melody of hope. It explores the mystery of life’s timing — how dreams, though delayed, are never denied — and how even in the darkest nights, the African sky still carries the promise of dawn.

This story celebrates the beauty, strength, and spirit of the Igbo people — one of Nigeria’s most vibrant tribes. From our colourful attire and rich traditions to our music, food, and unbreakable hustling spirit, “I Am Igbo — My Tribe, My Pride” is a heartfelt reflection of identity, heritage, and love for one’s roots. It’s a reminder that culture is not just who we are, but the soul that keeps us connected to where we come from.

She never planned to fall in love at least, not the way it happened. It started quietly, like a song she didn’t realize she’d been humming. He came into her life so unexpectedly, with laughter that made ordinary days feel special. They weren’t perfect far from it but somehow, it felt right. Their connection wasn’t loud,it was in the small things the long talks, the laughter, the teasing, the comfort of being understood without words.But love, as she learns, isn’t always about happy endings. Sometimes it’s about the lessons left behind. When distance, silence, and misunderstandings began to creep in, she found herself holding on to memories instead of moments. It hurt deeply, but it also made her stronger.Something About Love tells the story of a girl who gave her heart fully and learned that love isn’t measured by how long it lasts, but by how much it changes you. Through heartbreak and healing, she finds herself again softer, wiser, and still capable of love.By the end, she realizes something quietly powerful: maybe the person she was meant to love first was herself.

It started as a wish, then grew to a desire, transitioned to a dream, and finally actions were taken with opportunities aligned, blooming a very-so-beauitiful future. Ikemgba, now called Joseph built silent dreams on becoming a 'white-coat man', as his friend, Maduba termed Medical practitioners. And being the first born and son, an ancestral line that told that he was one of the last descendants of Okimmiri, knew that such a dream is impossible. Also considering, they were embedded with the healing power of bending blood to their will. With his father on death's bed, the boy subconsciously wished him gone. When the old man finally took his breath, kicking the bucket, the boy took to his heels leaving on a promise of periodic letter visit from him to his siblings. A missionary scholarship program in display, he took the grand opportunity and was discipled under Rev'd Felix Eddington. But as time ticked and ocean tide rose, home called, echoing at every corner of the earth. He could escape Ezenuka Village Community, but not the blood that runs in his veins. Left no choice, he answered, fulfilling a prophecy that stood after the beginning of time. A price was to be paid, blood was to be shed, how would Ikemgba keep his dreams afloat when the gods were calling?
DINMA OPARA
In the quiet village of Umueze, where faith and tradition intertwine, Nkem Okeke is born into a deeply religious family whose devotion to God runs as thick as the red soil beneath their feet. But beneath their harmony lies a wound — the family’s longing for a son in a culture that measures legacy by lineage. From childhood, Nkem’s curiosity and courage set her apart. While her father preaches purity and restraint, she dreams of independence and purpose beyond the confines of tradition. When she earns admission to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nkem steps into a new world — one that challenges her upbringing and forces her to redefine what faith, womanhood, and freedom truly mean. Her journey is one of strength tested by rejection, of conviction shaken by love, and of a daughter’s quest to reconcile faith with individuality. When her defiance leads to her father’s fury and eventual disownment, Nkem must walk an unbroken path of forgiveness, resilience, and redemption. Set against the lush backdrop of Igbo culture, The Unbroken Path is a moving tale of courage, self-discovery, and the power of staying true to one’s values in a world that demands conformity. It celebrates womanhood, questions rigid traditions, and reminds us that true faith is not in appearance — but in love, compassion, and purpose.
Kihara Mwangi
A hilarious yet eye-opening tale about a man whose night out in Kenol takes a wild turn — from chasing contracts to losing everything (including dignity) after one too many drinks. What starts as “two for the road” ends with bush-sleeping, stolen wallets, and divine prayers. A true Kenyan comedy with a moral twist — drink, but don’t let the bottle drink you! 🍻😂
Kihara Mwangi
A broke man on a mission to fix a factory’s Ms Word ends up stranded in the dark corners of Mang’u. With two suspicious men eyeing him, and only 400 bob in his pocket, his night turns into a survival story of faith, fear, and five white cups of dogogio. From near death to bar sermons — this is one unforgettable Kenyan night.
