Feedback from readers
“Underdevelopment in Africa: My hands are clean. I have the privilege of reading through the manuscript. The book is a detailed and analytical study of the various subjects covered in it.
The author has used the title metaphorically to address the burning issue of underdevelopment in Africa and to ask the all-important question. Who is to blame?
Do we continue to blame the Europeans for the palpable evidence of underdevelopments that abound all over Africa, or is it not time for Africans to look inward and blame themselves for these defects?” – Itua Paul Okhaide, Head of Department, Commercial and Industrial Law, Ambrose Alli University, Nigeria.
“It has been a real pleasure for me to have the honor and privilege to read the work of Obehi Peter Ewanfoh entitled The Color Of Our Children which, I think, was so brightly and so elegantly put together. A lot of credits are to be given to this young talented writer in dealing with the delicate subject of racism and cultural diversity of children of African migrants in Italian schools.
I am particularly keen on the closing pages of the book in which the author seeks to stress the expectations of both parents and teachers, the Immigrant families interactions with schools, and the danger of single stories in Italian schools whereby children of African migrants are not learning anything about their African origin in Italian schools.” – Daniel Kobehe, An Ivory Coast Immigrant Worker Paris, France.
“Amende – The Stream Water is a riveting story. A boy with a background set to handicap him lifelong, inadvertently plunged himself into an adventure in the wild which would change not only his life, but also the one of his community. In less than a hundred pages, we have all human vices in display, but also the force of friendship and compassion which unite beyond drama.
Easy to read, in a style closer to a movie script than a novel, pre-teenagers would love the writer’s visual style, his ability to autocomplete emerging images in the reader’s mind.” – Mawuna R. Koutonin, an African social activist and entrepreneur.
The Storytelling Mastery Series
“I believe that a book like that in simple terms would really help business owners who aren’t professional content creators.” – Daniel Akintunde.
“This is captivating and engaging content, Mr. Obehi talked about the fact that Storytelling has a way of promoting the culture and image of the people.
It transfers information from generation to generation and makes learning, and business marketing more fruitful, I recommend the book to everyone, both Teachers Business Owners, and parents…. Etc.” – Nice job Mr. Obehi Ewanfoh
“First of all, I would like to say that this is a very useful tool for beginners wanting to be in the field of speaking as a whole.
The definition of storytelling at the beginning of the chapter sets the context well, as does the emphasis on building trust with the audience.
It was reassuring to read that there was a separation between those that told stories on a regular basis, and those that were now emerging into this scene.
I believe that this was so important as it gives hope to newcomers who have a desire to Storytelling the confidence to pursue this.
The tips on how to start this journey were practical and easy to understand as was the information on how storytelling can also be used as a marketing tool.
I also thought it was a great idea to layout the exact steps on what a ‘good story’ should entail and ultimately what the audience is looking for. A great read Highly recommends.” – Lis Hoyte BA (Hons) MSc.
“An inspirational read, quite empowering and well deserving of praise. Thank you for this.” – Raashika Adam – Chief Scientific Officer – Clinical Trialist (MBA Candidate: University of Arizona)
“Congratulations, Obehi, on the publication of your book, “STORYTELLING BASICS: How To Get Started In Telling Impactful Stories.” I read the first chapter and found it to be a comprehensive guide for small businesses and content creators.
I enjoyed how you showed that storytelling has been a fundamental part of human culture for thousands of years and is a powerful tool for communication, capable of engaging audiences and conveying complex ideas in an accessible and memorable way.
From ancient oral traditions to modern digital narratives, storytelling continues to shape our understanding of the world and ourselves.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of your work since it covers the basics of storytelling, helping readers understand what storytelling is and how to apply it effectively in their professional endeavors.
Thank you for your dedication to this craft and for providing such a valuable guide for those looking to get started in storytelling.” – Fabio Batista dos Santos.
“I have read through the free chapter. It has a lot of lessons in it the beginner’s tips are cool, has some of the lessons I was taught in Copywriting Like:
Know your audience, their pain points, interest, fears, etc. Create emotional attachment, and so on Then another thing I was taught in copywriting Is to break down big walls of text into short sentences to improve readability I think that will help too in a book like this Thank you for the opportunity.” – Imaobong Asuquo.
“Top of the day to You! I just had the chance to read the free Chapter of the Storytelling Series and I find it exceptionally phenomenal. It had this way of portraying the Sanctity of storytelling in a way I haven’t thought it.
It shows how Intentional and careful one has to be in using this art as it has a way of going beyond the immediate audience into making its way to generations yet unborn and its package of profiting to one who masters and uses it with integrity this is something else you write with grace and insight well done on this one Obehi you are amazing” – Precious Anyanwu.
“Hello Obehi. I’m at home and yet again I hear the following on the television about an author: “You have the chance to tell your story in your book”. And I remembered reading your chapter over the weekend. Thank you so much for sharing it with me.
It was such a wonderful read. It made me so proud of an article with the same title that I wrote for a magazine, The Importance of Storytelling.
It is becoming widely accepted by the mainstream why it is important for people to tell their stories. Otherwise, they run the risk of others inaccurately telling their stories for them and ultimately robbing them of their truth.
As I read your chapter, there were many similar alignments and thoughts to both our voices in your chapter and my article.
I kept nodding and smiling throughout. And, I also have to say there are so many parallels as well with this same message shared in the coaching program that I’m part of that teaches the students the importance of storytelling.
A fabulous example of a story that was shared with the students is “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which speaks to taking control of your narrative; thus, the importance of telling your story because you are multifaceted.
I am sure you have heard of her or listened to her story. It is magnificently beautiful. Your chapter was exquisite. So well-written, which made it so easy to read.
So many different perspectives to absorb. It speaks exactly to the theme of evoking emotions. I would definitely like to read the book.” – Maggie Chapoteau.
