BADASS AFRICAN QUEENS is a coloring book based on the history of African queens. These are the Queen mothers who played important roles in local governments, social power, and influence in the 19th century. They stood out and worked tirelessly on improving the social welfare of their villages and kingdoms by showing gender equality as well as overseeing issues that involved both men and women together, such as adultery, rape, sodomization, and marital conflicts. The book recognizes Empress Kandake, Queen Nandi, Hatshepsut, Queen Moremi, Amina Mohamud, Queen Makeda, and Lingeer Ndat`e Yalla Mbodj as the best queen mothers of Africa. In Ethiopia, we had Empress Kandake or Candace who was regarded as one of the most dreaded war generals of her time, according to historians, she was a fierce, tactical, and uniting lady who at some point ended up humiliating Alexander the great. This made people know her as the Queen who humiliated Alexander the great. We also had Makeda Queen of Sheba Ethiopia who was also known as the queen of Sheba or "La Reine de Sabah" in French. She was a queen of incredible strength as she survived a battle with the serpent king Awre. The Zulu Kingdom in South Africa had Queen Nandi who was resilient as a mother and a hope against social pressures. She was the mother of Shaka Zulu, one of the Zulu kingdom's greatest kings. According to historians, during the reign of her son, she had significant influence over the affairs of the kingdom this shows how devoted she was to serve her people even. In ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut became pharaoh, the fifth ruler of Dynasty 18. According to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, she is known to be "the first great woman whose name has survived in history". In the ILE-IFE Kingdom, Nigeria was a courageous queen, Queen Moremi, who is said to have contributed to the deliverance of the Yobra tribe from oppression. We also see Amina Mohamud a Hausa warrior queen of the city-state Zazzau, presently in the Northwest region of Nigeria, is allowed by her grandfather to attend state meetings to gain familiarity with state procedures after discovering her leadership skills early. An act that ended up making Amina a very prominent leader. In Senegal, we see the last great lingeer (queen) Ndat`e Yalla Mbodj of Waalo, a kingdom located in what is now Northwest Senegal. During her reign, she fought against French colonization and the Moorish invasion of her kingdom. In the 19th century, Ndat`e Yalla and her sister Ndjeumbeut Mbodj, stood out as two of the most powerful women of 19th century Senegambiaan dynastic history. This book focuses on empowering, motivating, and encouraging young girls who have dreams of venturing into politics and leadership careers in the future. Empowering these young girls will also act as a gender equality tool as more girls will get motivated to venture into politics, which in the long run will assist boosting the amount of power currently held by women as it has greatly diminished since pre-colonial times.

The Lonely Ones Among Us describes the arduous and slippery paths of the selected few that journey to success from the base of the economic pyramid of life in Nigeria. In this book, the author draws similarities between the capillary action in a rising damp to the determination that propels the poor that rise from the base of the economic pyramid to success by dint of hard work. Mr. Enilari Olakitan Ekun, a humble science teacher in a secondary school in Lagos, is the main character in the book. His life exemplifies the challenges faced by the few that swim against the tide to liberate themselves from the bondage at the base of the economic pyramid. Other characters with similar attributes to Mr. Ekun are identified in the book. What they all have in common is that they refuse to follow the accepted way of life that the society considers to be the norm. They are the aberrant that see the problems others overlook or pretend not to see. Instead of following the crowd, they choose to follow the road of the lone wayfarer. In summary, the book shows that the old fashion way of hard work still pays off.

Drawing on a wide range of oral and written sources, this book shows that women occupy a central place in the religious worldview and life of the Yoruba people and shows how men and women engage in mutually beneficial roles in the Yoruba religious sphere. It explores how gender issues play out in two Yoruba religious traditions—indigenous religion and Christianity in Southwestern Nigeria. Rather than shy away from illuminating the tensions between the prominent roles of Yoruba women in religion and their perceived marginalization, author Oyeronke Olajubu underscores how Yoruba women have challenged marginalization in ways unprecedented in other world religions.
