Obalende is a must-read for our teenagers and mothers. Woven in simple yet ornamental literary expressions, the book reminisces about life on the island of Lagos in the '80s and the experience of the main character, Affiong, as a growing adolescent. The events captured in the book document the gradual breakdown of societal values, which are later replaced with anti-social norms and values, due largely to failure of leadership, collapse of constitutional democracy, poor parenting, dysfunctional families, and corruption, identified as major cogs in the wheel of national development." - Mr Remi BabalolaFormer Minister of State, Finance in Nigeria The book, Obalende: A Nation in Motion, is an interesting read. It resonates with my childhood upbringing with communal life - where everyone looked out for everyone and playing was key to social networking and development. - Mrs Victoria MadedorGroup Head, Agribusiness & FMCGBOI Investment and Trust Company

Sustained Beyond the Dying Field is a memoir about the experience of the author as a kidney transplant survivor. Two years after he was diagnosed of Kidney failure on the eve of his birthday on 13 October, 2020, Dr Wale Adeduro shares how God's grace sustained him through the harrowing journey. The book primarily seeks to create awareness about kidney disease that reportedly affects over 20 million Nigerians (about ten percent of the population of Nigerians). Kidney disease affects more Nigerians than diabetes and cancer. Yet, unlike diabetes and cancer, most Nigerians have little or know knowledge about kidney disease until it affects them or their loved ones. The book further provides a support, through ample anecdotes, guides and counsels, for patients of kidney disease as well as their loved ones and care givers. This book, written in a free-flowing style, bears the unmistakable conversational and descriptive approach of the author. Although the subject treated is heart-wrenching, the reader will find it pleasurable to read. Patients of kidney disease who read this book will find encouragement and hope to live longer.
