 Elections in Nigeria  - Africa’s biggest democracy was at a critical juncture as the country headed to the polls in 2019. One of the world’s biggest experiments in democracy took place in Nigeria on 16 February 2019. More than 80 million voters headed to the polls to choose the next president. As a federation, Nigeria has 36 states and more than 200 different ethnic groups, making elections often fraught with tension. Professor Shehu’s book aims to appraise the practice and progress of democracy in Nigeria and highlight some key issues that have driven electoral choices in the past. As he puts it, “In Nigeria, experience has shown that whereas every politician seeking election claims to do so to serve the country, in reality, most seek public office to serve their selfish interests rather than the national interest. Conducting an election is a routine activity, but conducting one with integrity is a function of true democracy”.

 

 Confidence in Diplomacy  - Abdul Rimdap was the only one of 20 brothers and sisters to go to school, and it would never have happened if he had not eavesdropped on a class at his village school and put his hand up outside the window to answer a question which had defeated the pupils. He went on to college and excelled sufficiently to be accepted by the Nigerian Foreign Service. There followed a distinguished international career during which he played leading ambassadorial roles for Nigeria in Ethiopia, Zambia, Pakistan, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. He retired from his final post, as Ambassador to Germany, in 2010.

 

 Get it Right  - The author, Samson Koleade, a committed Christian and teacher, has written this book to introduce people to the basic principles and knowledge of Christianity and to enable us to enjoy its full benefits.

​

 The Blood of jesus as a Weapon ​  Rarely do the physical and the spiritual agree. But it is only in the matter of the blood that there seems to be an understanding and connection between them. The blood is the currency of value in the spirit realm, and the life we live in the physical realm is in the blood. Therefore, the blood is of universal importance to both realms. In this book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu explains the limited role of blood in the Old Testament and the comprehensive deliverance package in the Blood of Jesus in the New Testament. 

​

 Understand your Destiny ​ - If God were to ask us to list our achievements on Earth, would they be our cars, clothes and houses? We know that all material wealth can be destroyed by fire, implying that our destiny is more than earthly possessions. But what really is our destiny, and how can we prepare for it? Pastor Umuteme had just completed his twelfth book when he heard a voice say, ‘Understand your destiny.’ At that moment he knew what the topic of this book, his thirteenth, would be. 

​

 Priesthood v Parenthood ​ - The title of this book speaks for itself, but the contents speak for all its readers who are ordained servants of God and caring mentors to their fellow humans. They will open your eyes to the collaborative efforts between divinity and humanity. Both priesthood and parenthood have their burdens, their challenges and their dangers. However, we need to appraise ourselves by asking some personal questions. Firstly, Why am I in the service of God? Did God call me into His vineyard as a minister? Am I serving for self-security – what’s in it for me? Do I have a private and personal agenda? In this book, Captain Mother Olu Hasson addresses these questions and provides answers and a way forward.

​

 Aspects of Marriage ​ - All around the world, marriages are failing in their millions. Yet God can help, if you let him into your life. Aspects of Marriage will help you to understand why your marriage is failing and how, with God’s help, you can make it work. It will also help you to know what to do when you are called to provide wise counsel to a couple experiencing a failing marriage. When Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme heard God calling him to write a book on marriage he set to work without delay. Having spoken to many people enduring marital problems, he found that problems often start at the beginning with a marriage which was not founded properly in God’s eyes. This book goes to the heart of all kinds of marriage problems and will help any couple to understand what is going wrong and why, and how they can take the path to a happier and more fulfilling Christian marriage.

​

 The Nonsense of War ​ - War and violence has become so widespread in some parts of the world that even our children are beginning to accept it as normal. The statistics reveal the terrible cost of conflict and crisis. Those who support war have not understood that those who perpetrate these conflicts are under the influence of the devil. This is the time for everyone to be involved in the preaching of peace, from house to house as Jesus commanded. It must start from the home, then to the streets and to our schools,and in our places of religious gathering. This book has been written by Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme to equip us, as Christians, to understand the times and be more dedicated to the call of God upon our lives, which include preaching the message of peace wherever we go.

​

 Gifted and Anointed ​ - Whatever gifts you have been blessed with by God, you cannot fully realise their value until you become one of the Anointed. In his latest book, Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme explains how you may become Anointed in order to excel in your purpose on earth and carry out God’s purpose. Gifted and Anointed is an insightful and revelation-packed teaching about the character of the Melchizedek.

​

 The Mystery of the Kingdom of God on Earth ​ - This latest work from Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme deals with the question of man’s duty to God on Earth. All those who have received the Holy Spirit may learn from it. If you read with an open heart, you will come to understand what the Kingdom of God means to the Lord and how we must all play our part as His followers. This book calls for true believers to reconsider the way they are expressing their faith in the world so that the human race may be safe in the hands of those who truly believe, not those who – perhaps unwittingly – are still helping Satan. It explains how we must all ensure we truly belong to the Kingdom of God on Earth, and how it can be achieved.

​

 The Subject of Love ​ - Love is described by dictionaries as a ‘strong positive emotion of regard and affection’. This has made many see love as a deep feeling for the opposite sex, and as such many have learned to hate love, as a reason for distrust. Yet the Bible preaches that love would heal our wounds, and to ascertain this fact, God sent down His only begotten son as a show of love. What, then, is Love? Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme discusses the matter with the aim of bringing new insight to all who follow God.

​

 Earth as a Weapon ​ - The Earth is quite powerful spiritually speaking. God related with the Earth in a way that He never did with other realms (Heavens and Water). He created, spoke, commanded, covenanted, moulded man from it, and eventually cursed the Earth when man sinned. And all that came out of the womb of the Earth depend on it for growth, multiplication, survival and preservation. In this Book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu draws from his many years of experience as a Deliverance Minister and Counsellor to explain that the Earth, as a living entity like every other creation of God, has the ability to obey commands, speaks, listens and carry out instructions. The Earth therefore can be used as an instrument of either blessing or cursing.

 

 The Narrow Gate ​ - During His ministration on the Mount, Christ exhorted His disciples to choose the narrow gate, not the broad one, because only the narrow path and the narrow gate lead to eternal life. Yet few individuals find it. How can we find it? To take the path towards eternal life we must embrace a change to godly living. Tomorrow might be too late. This means we must obey God’s commandments, have hearts of forgiveness and be filled with the Holy Spirit, in fear of our Lord. There is no room for pride in the Kingdom of Heaven. The path towards the narrow gate can only be achieved by total submission to His mandates. Elizabeth Audu discusses all aspects in this book.

 

 The Price of Destiny ​ - Are you ready for your long-awaited change? Are you ready to challenge your thoughts and assumptions? Are you ready to break the age-long barriers of tradition? Are you ready to break the jinx of mediocrity? If so, the answer is in your hand. This book by Moses Ogedengbe will help to open you up to a life of personal responsibility to create your own world of reality. It unveils the priority of human demands for a profitable adventure. It challenges individual misconceived ideas of life. It is an ideal practical manual for reorientation of mentality.

 

 The Water Realm ​ - Spiritually speaking, the realm of the water is deep and powerful. It is not easy to understand. However, it is the most spiritualised realm, because the Spirit of God was on the face of the water before the Heavens and the Earth were separated from the waters. Therefore, the earth and the heavens are connected to the water in their own unique ways. In this book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu explains why spiritual strongholds in the water are so formidable. He also explains why those under the bondage of water spirits are not easily delivered, and why the marine powers and their agents do not easily give up those under their bondage. 

 

 Approved by God ​ - How are we to please God and learn how to do what He tells us is right? The author sets out for us what God’s approval means and how we can earn it. Quoting extensively from the Bible, Elizabeth Audu explains the importance of faith, obedience and giving if we are to please God and do His will. This book is a wake-up call to Christians who are not yet on the right path.

 

 The Man God Made ​ - When God breathed the breath of life into us, he made us perfect. The Man God Made was strong, creative and noble, devoted to the path of God. But ever since Adam succumbed to temptation in the Garden of Eden, many of us have fallen below that standard set by God. Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme of the Royal Diamonds International Church in Nigeria tells us in his new book how we can renounce evil and regain that path set for us by God, becoming once again the men and women God intended us to be. The book enables us to understand the qualities expected of those who would live life to its fullest and reach Heaven. These qualities will enable them to follow Christ’s ways and minister His word to the world, wherever they may be.

 

 My Being and Calling ​ - “This book is not about my destination in life; that was set before my birth. Rather, it is about the things that happened along the way.” Olufunmilayo was born almost 70 years ago into an ethnic royal family in Ogun State, south-western Nigeria. Her father, John Mawobe (Eleyinwa of Eyinwa) was the village head cum church lay reader and her grandfather was the local church patron. Continuity of the royal heritage was at the heart of her family. As time went on, she began a spiritual journey which has culminated in her being ordained as a Captain Mother, the highest women’s rank in the African Christianity Order.

 

 Overthrowing Evil Altars ​ - The role of altars in the realm of existence is very key because altars are meeting places between the physical and the spiritual, between the visible and the invisible. In one word, an altar is a gateway in the realm of the invisible. By implication, therefore, no matter the plan and the purpose of God for your life, family, children, relationships, businesses, communities, and other personal endeavours, you must have the spiritual understanding that, until satanic and demonic altars in your foundation are overthrown, you are most likely to fall short of God’s plan for your life. No wonder God commanded Moses, “You must destroy their altars…” (Exodus 34:13-14). In this book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu draws from his many years of experience as a deliverance minister to explain why you must overthrow foundational altars, and why you must confront demonic or satanic altars erected to hinder or frustrate God’s plans for you and your family.

​

 Leadership ​ - The perils and challenges of leadership are many, from failing to convince those around you of your mission to falling victim to dealing with those who would usurp it. Yet strong, effective leaders are sorely needed in the Church as in everyday life. In this, his ninth book, Pastor Oghenethoja Umuteme of the Royal Diamonds International Church, Port Harcourt, sets out his own philosophy and teaching on leadership to enable all of us to nurture and harness our leadership skills and talents and become effective leaders in church, at work or in the home. Memoirs has also published Pastor Umuteme’s last two books, The Man God Made and Aspects of Marriage.

 

 The Borrowed Life of Morilewa ​ - In fertile Ijowa, Nigeria, land is the only source of livelihood and those without it starve or are driven into slavery. Prince Adeyanju, the Aremo-Oba (crown prince) of Ijowaland, suffers a riding injury which threatens his ability to father an heir. The high priest, Fatunbi, explains that the only way to restore his manhood is a ritual involving a secret affair, and selects a beautiful young widow called Lalonpe. To keep his royal identity secret, Adeyanju is told to introduce himself to her as a trader called Morilewa. When war breaks out between Ijowaland and neighbouring Aketeland, Adeyanju accidentally leaves behind a priceless treasure, and only Lalonpe’s young son Ojo knows the secret. Then Fatunbi is murdered in Adeyanju’s presence, and a manhunt begins for the two-faced person called Morilewa…

 Born to Live, Not to Die ​ - This is the true story of a professor who, in the face of appalling adversity, saved over one million new-born babies dying unnecessarily in under-equipped hospitals by developing low-cost intervention techniques for newborn care. He spent over 20 years travelling through war zones and areas of conflict to save countless tiny lives, fighting a continuous war with corrupt hospital managers and their office staff who had been mismanaging funds to line their own pockets - and now did everything they could to obstruct his mission, because he would not let them have their way.

 Dreams, Visions and their Interpretations ​ - The Earth is quite powerful spiritually speaking.  God related with the Earth in a way that He never did with other realms (Heavens and Water).  He created, spoke, commanded, covenanted, moulded man from it, and eventually cursed the Earth when man sinned.
