written by Bill F. Ndi
The aphorisms herein, The Quotable Uncle: Insightful Sayings II, do not only hint at philosophical depth, spiritual resonance, moral introspection, and social critique, but push the reader to indulge in a reflexive and introspective journey as he/she wrestles with the hustle and bustle of the noisy confusion of life. In an era of overflow and excess of information, this book is a return to essence. A whisper of resistance against the angry roar of the oppressor. A weightless truth that resists the gravity and callousness of imposed ignorance. These aphorisms speak softly, but with the rooted strength of those long silenced: a balm against the violent roar of colonial, patriarchal, and capitalist dominion.

“In an era marked by excess and the relentless saturation of information, this book offers a return to the fundamentals. It stands as a quiet act of resistance against the overwhelming din of dominant narratives. What follows is a search for clarity and a step toward truth—resisting the numbness brought on by informational overload, the erosion of discernment, and the systematic production of unawareness.” – Achirri Ismael, Assistant Professor Worcester Polytechnic Institute MA, USA
“Each aphorism in The Quotable Uncle: Insightful Sayings II stands alone, but together they form a mosaic of vision: a worldview that values critical thought, spiritual sensitivity, and moral courage.” – Maimo Mary Mah, MSc. Library Science, M.A. Journalism, Development Communication Specialist/Consultant
“The Quotable Uncle: Insightful Sayings II is a book for seekers: scholars of philosophy and culture, spiritual thinkers, political actors, and those simply trying to walk the complex terrain of modern African life with clarity and conscience in a globalized world in which hegemony runs roughshod. But more than anything, it is a book for the one who dares to read, pause, and think deeply (in Japanese parlance, Jokundoku) about that by which most people pass.” – Emmanuel Fru Doh
