LOKOJA – In a world often dominated by reports of marital strife and broken homes, a fresh voice has emerged from the classrooms of Beulah Glory Lifter Academy, Zango, Lokoja, offering a surprisingly mature roadmap for lasting relationships.
Ayeni Yeyosibina Excel, a bright 9-year-old pupil of the academy, has officially unveiled her debut literary work, “The Caring and Loving Mother,” today, August 1, 2026, in a ceremony held at her school premises.
Hailing from Ogori in the Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of Kogi State, young Ayeni is not your typical author. Her 16-page booklet, published by Golden Brains Group – Nigeria, delves into themes of commitment, faithfulness, and the central role of love in the delicate dance of marriage.
In the book’s introductory note, Ayeni asserts a profound thesis: Love must be the central pillar in every marriage, or the union is bound to collapse. She writes from a perspective that, while young, is remarkably observant—positioning the book as a “roadmap” for homes, specifically aimed at preventing women from becoming victims of marital neglect.
The cover of the 16-page booklet, graced with a rich, vibrant illustration, depicts a nurturing mother surrounded by four children in a rural, communal setting, cooking over an open fire. The imagery reinforces the theme of care, warmth, and the foundational role of the maternal figure in African family life.
Balancing her primary education with a passion for storytelling, Ayeni’s achievement serves as a testament to the power of early literacy and the capacity of young minds to grapple with complex social realities. The launch event today at Beulah Glory Lifter Academy, Zango, drew educators, fellow pupils, parents, and community leaders who came to celebrate the young author’s milestone.
Speaking at the launch, Ayeni expressed her hopes for the publication. “I want this little book to help families in Nigeria to be happy again,” she said. “I believe if we care for each other as the Bible and our culture teach us, our homes will be stronger.”
At just 9 years old, Ayeni Yeyosibina Excel of Beulah Glory Lifter Academy has proven that wisdom is not a function of age alone. As her words find their way into the hands of readers across Nigeria, her “roadmap” promises to be a gentle but powerful reminder that the foundation of a nation begins in the warmth of a caring and loving home.
“The Caring and Loving Mother” (ISBN: 978-978-50486-5-9) is now available through Golden Brains Group – Nigeria.
