Elders of the Mace
Watuland, a fictitious country in Africa, is in turmoil. People have abandoned their culture and the effects of poor environmental management are felt as rivers dry and drought bites. The authority of the council of elders is weakening, especially with the death of their chief elder - Chuchu Mukulu. To bring back order, the elders revert to their age-old cultural wisdom but also seek the help of the most learned son of the land - Tenne - who is in America. As they wade through the maze of discovery, a beautiful story unfolds where readers see a vivid picture of the post-independent African society, culture and traditions. Issues of governance are addressed through a social commentary on equitable distribution of resources, gender balance, corruption, bad leadership and police brutality. A read through this captivating story reveals the Africans' effort to address issues affecting them through an integration of modern education, technology and traditional culture. A people without reflection are doomed for they cannot sustain tomorrow. - Elders

A Boy Named Koko
Koko is a talented boy. His teachers like him and try to help him develop his talent. However, he is different from the others-he lives with albinism. This makes others treat him differently. His mother punishes him frequently and hurls insults at him, in spite of being restrained by a neighbour.
Mental Independence
There are three kinds of people. Those whose brains die before they die; those whose brains die with them; and those whose brains never die. This final category are those whose minds were able to produce in their lifetime things that remained relevant years after they were no more around. Have you ever wanted to become such a powerhouse of innovation and creativity? Are you tired of just doing more of the same old thing and would love to break out with innovation after innovation? Are you hungry for a new dimension of thought? Do you want to develop your mind to the point where you can benchmark your imagination? Mental independence is a state where the human mind is empowered enough to soar to realms undiscovered. It is the state where the human mind is so empowered to be creative enough to pull things from unseen realms and make them tangible realities in the seeing world. It is a realm of thought where precedent is not a prerequisite for decision making. It is the realm where innovators are born.
