There are 51 official cities in England and the list of these places have been granted city status by letters patent or royal character.

In the last two decades I have had the opportunity to visit over 30 Countries around the world but I have also had the opportunity to visit 40 of the 51 Official cities of England

There is always something profound that makes cities stand out, it could be the history, the architecture, the sceneries, the diversity of people, its identity or even simple things like the thoughts and emotions we feel when we embrace the new walls of a city.

Have you ever travelled to a new place and felt you are in familiar territory?

Travelling opens our minds into a new world of history, culture, experiences and a new transition of growth.

CHESTER is one of the 51 Official cities I have visited in England

subsumption-

I hear my poetry stinks like a water pot filled with broken bottles of wine –
that the infant thread ties road heads to mimicking minds at dawn.

I hear rumours of a dying me at another crucifixion on Tabernacles –
when the son of the whirlwind called his father by name in an enchanted divination.

I hear that men live and die forever and always pray to a Messiah but themselves –
what am I supposed to do now but not live like that.

I hear these things.
I hear these things.

The Car Ride That Changed the Future Forever

“Leaves the Reader Fascinated and Grateful!” Pastor Julie Schaecher
Author of Best-Selling Book Messed Up

“It was fascinating I simply could not put it down!” Shala LaTorraca
Author of Best-Selling Help The Book

A girl child was enticed to experience a car ride that led to her being uprooted to an unknown faraway place and an endless lifelong ride…

Tussles between two iconic grandmas (paternal and maternal) and two rivaling sisters, forced her to learn the art of survival and excellence.

The little girl grew to become an accomplished lady and finally understood her lineage and heritage: the missing link to her real-life story.

The story is in the form of email correspondence between the lady and an ex-lover who sought to know her more after a 40 years absence.

A mixture of funny incidents, tears, traumatic incidents and near-death escapes, told in a breath-taking but controlled manner will leave the reader fascinated and grateful.

Elizabeth Sama Obileye was born in 1951 to Dr. Sama Ekpo Sama and Ms Ayi Ekpe, both of Calabar, Nigeria. Taken to Ibadan where she attended St Teresa’s College, Ibadan and had her first degree in French from University of Ibadan.
