Thanks Eastcoast.
This is my third book since my first collection of poems Children of Heaven was published in 1987. And I have two more books to be released before the end of this year by the grace of God. I have been winning prizes since age 13. I am looking forward to winning a major prize soon. I have written the novels. But my missionary work and charities have not given me enough time to revise and edit my prose, poetry and drama.
I want to do my best to publish all my unpublished volumes of writings at the rate of four books every year.
Scarlet Tears of London is worth reading and keeping in every home and library.

I have a duly registered publishing company King of Kings Books International and I sponsored the First King of Kings Books International Literary Scholarship Essay Competition for Secondary Schools in Nigeria that was launched at the University of Lagos in 2003.
I wrote and directed "Sleepless Night" with the world premiere in July 2002 sponsored by Dele Momodu the publisher of Ovation International and the Frecnh Cultural Centre. "Sleepless Night" was the first drama on the June 12 Crisis and the late Funso Alabi played the lead role and the Crown Troupe of Africa did the choreography.
I have been a program consultant for the United Nations Children's Fund at 25 and coordinated the Child Survival and Development (CSD) Program for the Radio in Nigeria in 1988.

See my signature right in your face with a link to one of my blogs.
Scarlet Tears of London is not available offline in Nigeria now and any bookseller interested in the distribution in Nigeria can contact me. I am working on publishing the Nigerian edition soon.
Oracle,
The only serious thing I do apart from writing online and offline is producing a musical work, any television programme, stage drama, art exhibition and film. And two of the books I have online and offline are selling. The Language of True Love is selling daily at our supermarket in Finima on Bonny Island, Rainbow Bookshop in Port Harcourt and Glendora in Lagos are also selling it.
I am going to be the richest Nigerian writer before 2008 by God's grace and the feature film I am working on with my director Chika Onu will change the image of Nollywood and will be an international bestseller than even the South African Oscar winning Tsotsi. And would be shot on my present location on Bonny Island in Rivers State, Nigeria.
Shell International prompted me to come to Bonny Island when I wanted to produce a feature documentary to address the violence in Niger Delta region. Shell International told me to meet with Shell in Nigeria and as expected the Nigerian office was scared of supporting the project and till date we are still on it. And I have to continue with my other projects until we can produce the documentary film.
I am very glad and grateful to God for the great and awesome things He is doing in my life and believe it or not, my divine role online is to prepare the media for the launching of the IT Revolution in Nigeria with the launching of an operating system already invented by Bankole Olowofoyeku who left the former Citibank to work on his divine project and those who know him can vouch for his genius in IT.
Everything I am doing online and offline is in the perfect masterplan of God for the common good of humankind.
My blogs, blooks, books and other projects are all connected to the perfect masterplan of God for Nigeria.
My mentors are Dr. Mike Murdock and Rev. Bankole Olowofoyeku.
Dr. Mike Murdock is already praying for me for the Wisdom Towers we are going to build in Nigeria.
Let all the Adenugas, Tejuosos, Ojoras, Ibrus and others build their own, but the best is yet to come.
Jesus Christ said, occupy till I come.

Sorry. I am not looking for "Waka Pass" extras until further notice.  Any Nigerian filmmaker can win the Oscar. As long as the Nigerian is serious and humble enough to ask for help from those who know better and not posing and posturing like a peacock that cannot even fly high as an eagle. I would rather be an eagle than be a peacock. |

My dear, what I wish right now is that every member of Nairaland should buy a copy of my book and that would be more beneficial than mere words of commendation.

Two books in 8 months and two more books to go before 2007. God is ever gracious and ever generous to me.

I Must say that you are really doing a great Job! That's really a giant step you took! Well, i am currently in my final year in the university, studying communication Art and i am really crazy about Advertising aside from poetry. I would want to know what you would advise me do to help myself build my passion for advertising and to make myself marketable upon graduation. Also i wouldn't mind if you could link me up with someone in the filed of Advertising!
Best regards

Kingsley D. Keke,
Are you in LASU or OAU?
Well done!
Please, you can combine both your profession and your passion as my very good friend Bisi Ojediran is doing successfully working in media with Shell and writing the best thrilling adventure novels in Africa.
Just make First Class or Upper Class, and let me know later if God keeps me near you.
You deserve the best always. Because, as Bishop Ajayi Crowther said, only the best is good enough for us.
God bless.
