[quote author= post=90024459]May God punish all who prefer our nation to continue under the failure party for 16 years.
They not only looted their lives, but along with the lives of their unborn kids!
May their lives be wasted and looted just as the evil party looted our nation and turned the country to the poverty nation of the world at the period we made our highest revenue as a nation..

No be curse,

makydebbie:
"An average failure is a product of excuses."

This is a quote I was raised with, knowing there's nothing like "too young" to be what you want to be and achieve what you so desire.

I'm here to show gratitude to God Almighty, my family and friends. I've made some friends offline from this wonderful platform and at this point I call them family. I sincerely appreciate your efforts, I couldn't have done this alone. You all helped me to make this happen.
Today is my birthday and I'm very excited about this new chapter because of what it signifies in the realm of life significance.


It's a year exactly when I opened a thread to tell you about this particular work of mine that would be out soon.
Life is what I call a beautiful chaotic mess, because it most times doesn't go as planned. Life happened and situations beyond me prolonged the arrival of the book.
The setbacks strengthened me and my unbroken resolve to get to that place where purpose meets its fullest manifestation, which of course encouraged me. And I'm here to announce that Dear Tales, is out finally!!!!

So yes! The wait is finally over! DEAR TALES IS OUT!!

This is an art that surely will blow your minds away and feed your curiosity to its depths.

Allow me to re-introduce you to...

DEAR TALES

"The inevitable thoughts of a wounded but brave heart."


Dear Tales synopsis.

A MOTHER'S PAST RESURRECTS AND BECOMES HER DAUGHTER'S NIGHTMARE....

Somewhere in the Gold Coast, in 22nd century Africa, Mabel had made a name for herself as a super police detective and elite class investigator. She successfully cracked down on a notorious crime gang and got their ringleaders arrested and jailed. Thereafter she retired to focus on family and raising her daughter, Ashley, who grew up somewhat unaware of her mother's past and exploits as a police detective. But little did she know that in years to come, she would have to contend with the dark secrets and cold-hearted crime lords from her mother's past.

The search for her own identity, a stubborn resolve to succeed in a field that makes great use of her super curious nature, and the evil blast from her mother's past takes Ashley on a truly defining journey.

Will the demons of Mabel's past swallow up her daughter? Will Ashley crumble under the weight of this cross or carry it to the end? What dark secrets will she uncover on this feverishly dangerous path?

In Dear Tales, the past meets the present.


Note:
I'll also publish a hard copy and launch it. The date hasn't been set yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be around October.

The venue is;
32nd Gamel Abdul Nasser Rd. Osu. Accra, Ghana Institute of Journalism campus, lecture hall D1.

My special guest of honor for Dear Tales book launch is Portia Gabor, who is a multiple award winning journalist and news anchor for Ghana's leading television station, TV3.
A picture of Portia Gabor below Dear Tales.

If you're interested in attending Dear Tales book launch, and you reside in Accra, Please let me know via this thread.

Having an idea and turning it into a book is as hard as it sounds. The experience is both internally challenging and rewarding. I especially want to thank you all that helped make this happen. The encouragements, sleepless nights, financial help and every effort that made this happen.
I'm forever grateful. God bless you abundantly.

Bighead9:
He is not an Igbo Man, he is an Igala man. Stop referring to Igalas as Igbo's. 98% of all the wealthy people in Anambra are Igala. Besides, Anambra itself is an Igala State. Willi Obiano, Chis Ngige, Peter Obi and all the Politicians in Anambara are Igalas too, they only use Igbo as language for communication.

just stop.this is pathetic.

ValCon888:
This is not to condone rape, but she probably kept the pregnancy because the rapist was a fine guy.

I don't think she'd have kept it if it was a guy that looked like Ned Nwoko.
