Adamma is happy now, or thinks she is as happy as she can ever be...until one night, when she dreams of a very beautiful woman, Mmirimma, her long-lost mother lost to history over twenty years ago. Adamma's strange dream centers around the events that led to the death of her father and the disappearance of her mother. Against all rationality, against all evidence to the contrary, Adamma rekindles the flames of hope, that her mother Mmirimma who had been missing for over twenty years, is still alive. From the glitzy playgrounds of Lagos, Adamma heads East, seeking answers to questions that had plagued her entire adult life...and there, back East, she hits a brick wall. She is warned to stop looking for Mmirimma, that a dark and terrifying destiny awaits her if she doesn't let her mother go. Against all odds, Adamma embarks on a journey back into her past, to find the threads of her long-lost family. But, along the way, she descends into shocking chaos, as if Fate itself is working against her. Death dogs her footsteps, trusted friends become enemies, her family seems to be falling apart, yet she ploughs on in her search for her mother. With each step she makes closer to the truth about her mother's disappearance, her family seems to fall apart the more, and she faces a trial that will send her to her death if she loses, and destroy her family if she wins.

“It’s not a mere claim that Omalugo is an iconic thought and observations carefully expressed in this masterpiece. It is an anticipated, a deliberate, and a focused attempt towards making the reader think and ideologically reason like the human we supposed we are. Remove the humanity in us, we become practically like every other wild animal known to man. ‘Ede’ in Omalugo depicts the like of some born into fragmented and unbargained circumstance, who suffer not because of the fault of theirs but for wickedness in man. ‘Agbomma’ can be literally likened to ordinary beasts, people full of hate, jealousy, and greed, just for the sake of it, tribe that appropriate superiority to themselves. Omalugo is a knowledge-based book, deliberately encrypted to unlock the mental potentials in us. This hall isn’t designed for the lazy mind “for they have eyes but couldn’t see, and ears but couldn’t hear,” (Jeremiah 5:21). Knowledge is a cosmic phenomenon. It transcends sociopolitical, racial, cultural, and religious boundaries. Love, justice, and equity are natural characteristics of God we claim we have. But any spirituality, knowledge, or education that is void of the aforementioned is a mere fantasy. Truth has been chemically adulterated, morphologically mutilated, and etymologically raped or abused. This actuates the unassailable difficulty in understanding who we are amid the ubiquitous. Suffice it to say, the nature is ever willing for the minds that are sincerely willing to know. I wish you understand as you read. Success always knock at the door of those who do ask questions, who do think, and who are willing to be the change so wished.”

The Unmockable Master is a story of two young women, Adamma Guidance and Haala Snow, whose main goal was to make it into Gods eternal kingdom. Both women had a dynamic prayer life, and so their friendship skyrocketed, causing them to trust each other. It all shattered when Haalas cousin, Afafa, and her companion, Gada, entered their lives. They had appeared as angels of light. They revealed things that appeared true and did many wonderful works in the name of the Lord. Along with another sister in faith, Sister Cairoshell, they had a prayer meeting that caught the eyes of many believers in Christ. At these prayer meetings, prophecies were made, hooking and bundling many victims as they became spellbound into a deadly trap of deceit. It was later discovered these people sought an ungodly source! Sadly, some people continue with false ideologies and teachings contrary to Gods will. Consequently, the hurt and sufferings are manifesting itself in all corners of the Earth. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).
