The Senator’s Last Deal
In the shadowy underbelly of Nigeria’s political elite, investigative journalist Iniobong has unearthed a conspiracy that could shake the nation. When sixteen gifted students from a prestigious College of Technology in Kogi State are abducted in a daring night raid by men in military uniforms, all evidence points to a deadly alliance between corrupt practices, religion, and powerful business interests. Hired by a casual friend and Senator to clear the his name and expose the truth behind an innovative AI project the students created, Iniobong quickly finds himself marked for elimination. One humid night in a high-end Abuja lounge, Iniobong is seduced and woven intoby the enigmatic and ruthless Udoka Egwunba, a once-celebrated journalist turned blogger contracted to deliver him to the feared Chairman of the investigative committee. But just as Udoka prepares to hand him over, breaking news shatters the night: Three powerful lawmakers have been assassinated. Suddenly, every major character of the night became the hunted. With killers closing in and the explosive truth about the missing students still buried, Iniobong and Udoka are forced into a reluctant alliance. As they flee through the backroads of Nigeria , from deluxe lounges to Kogi swamps circling back Northern highways to damnation, they must navigate betrayal, hidden agendas, and a web of political violence where no one is truly innocent.

A Woman, A Mischief
InspiredPen
A Woman, A Mischief At fifty-six, Eniola is everything her family once prayed for. Respected businesswoman. Church leader. Provider. Survivor. The first person in generations to escape the quiet poverty that swallowed both sides of her family. But inside the silence of her success lives a question she has spent decades avoiding: What did it cost her to become this woman? Born into a crowded polygamous household in southwestern Nigeria, Eniola grows up brilliant, disciplined, and dangerously hopeful. While beauty opens doors around her, poverty keeps shutting them. Denied university despite extraordinary academic promise, she leaves home young and enters Life carrying faith, ambition, and an unspoken terror of becoming trapped like the women before her. As years pass, Eniola builds a life through ruthless discipline and moral restraint, refusing the shortcuts many around her accept for survival. Her rise appears miraculous. Yet beneath her success, strange prophecies, fractured memories, emotional isolation, and buried grief begin gathering like shadows. Then old memories begin returning. A hospital corridor. A missing truth. A decision nobody fully understands. And a sentence she once tried to forget: “You cannot keep both.” Moving across decades, secrets, church culture, family wounds, and the fragile line between spiritual destiny and inherited trauma, A Woman, A Mischief is a nonlinear literary mystery about motherhood, sacrifice, survival, and the silent ways people disappear inside the lives they fought to build.
The Jar Of All Wisdom
Chidera mirian

To keep his treasure safe, Mbe attempts to hide the jar at the top of the tallest tree in the forest. However, because he ties the bulky jar to his **chest**, he cannot get a grip on the trunk and repeatedly falls. His young son, watching from below, suggests that the climb would be easy if Mbe simply moved the jar to his **back**. Realizing that his son possessed a basic wisdom that he—the supposed master of all knowledge—had missed, Mbe is overcome with shame. In a fit of rage, he smashes the jar, releasing wisdom back into the world for everyone to share.
