 EMMANUEL ABIOLA ABIMBOLA CONGRATULATES NWABUNDO IFEOMA ALAYANDE ON THE RELEASE OF HER NEW BOOK, LOUD WHISPERS

Emmanuel Abiola Abimbola, Executive Director of PHEEMAB Consulting and Educational Services and the Immediate Past Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Publishers Association (NPA), has congratulated Nwabundo Ifeoma Alayande on the release of her much-anticipated book titled Loud Whispers. 

The book, a captivating collection of short stories, is set to be officially launched on Saturday, October 25, 2025, in Lagos.

In his congratulatory message, Abimbola commended Nwabundo for her remarkable contribution to literature and storytelling, describing the book as “a bold reflection of the human condition told with empathy and insight.” He praised her ability to weave narratives that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, noting that such works enrich the Nigerian literary space and inspire a new generation of writers.

Loud Whispers is a compelling collection that captures the quiet truths and hidden ironies of everyday life. Drawing from the pulse of society and the subtleties of human interaction, the book explores themes of love, betrayal, shame, resilience, and triumph—all infused with humor and depth. Through these stories, Nwabundo invites readers to reflect on their own experiences, offering a mirror to the complexities of being human.

Among the standout stories in the collection is Oasis, a tender yet powerful portrayal of a young girl forced to grow up too soon; Nne’s Wrapper, which gently unravels the threads of family and relationships; and Oyibo Fever, a satirical take on society’s obsession with foreign validation. Each story in Loud Whispers resonates with authenticity and emotional truth, reminding readers of the power of small moments and unspoken emotions.

Emmanuel Abiola Abimbola described the author’s storytelling as “a testament to the richness of African voices and the importance of preserving our shared stories.” He added that the themes explored in Loud Whispers transcend boundaries, making the book both timeless and universal—a literary piece that will find relevance across generations and cultures.

Speaking about the forthcoming launch, Nwabundo expressed her excitement and gratitude to everyone who has supported her creative journey. “Loud Whispers is more than a book,” she said. “It’s a collection of lived experiences, observations, and the emotions we often keep silent about. My hope is that readers will find themselves within these pages and feel seen, understood, and inspired.”
