Some days are lived, some are remembered, but the journey of a million years begins on a single day.
On 25 June 2026, the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) Book Party became a homecoming for words, friendships, and dreams that had travelled quietly for years. I officially launched my poetry collection, Breaking Addiction: Of Days A Way.
Drawing from lived experience, the powerful collection of poems explores the realities of addiction, relapse, rehabilitation, recovery, faith, and redemption, offering a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of second chances.
I watched my mentors become family, friends become pillars, and strangers become believers in a story that was once written in silence. What seemed like greetings were quiet acts of belief, and what seemed like conversations became homes for hope. Every signed copy reminded me that poetry finds its people when its time arrives.
To everyone who attended, bought a copy, shared a prayer, offered a smile, spoke a kind word, or chose to be present, thank you. You did not merely witness a book launch; you became part of its story.
This journey has taught me that books are never written by one person alone; they are stitched together by every hand that steadies the writer long before the first reader ever turns a page.
Alhamdulillah, for a day I will carry long after the applause has faded.
If this launch was a beginning, then the poems have only just started finding the homes they were written for.
DM to grab your copy.
