Background
Information
A first time Author from Nigeria whose seven years in the village of Mhiship with his late grandmother had influenced his writing the the novel titled; The Weeping Palm Tree.
He never had a literary tendency or background.
It all started when he listened to a sermon by Myles Munroe and Bishop David O. Oyedepo on a certain Sunday about self discovery. That same day the title of the book came without a story yet. Two weeks later, the story came so strongly that he could not sleep but write what was running in his head.
The Weeping Palm Tree is an African fictional story that revealed the power of light over darkness in a contest that took place during the christening ceremony of a destiny child that will turn around the fortune of his community. The setting centers on a blind pastor, Pastor Adamu Katnyam, who was trained by European missionaries in the 1950s. It also motivates the rural settlers to leave palm wine tapping and face Western education because it is the way forward for a typical rural and urban settler.
This book also gives background knowledge of a community that has never been written about in any formal journal.
