FIRST-TIME AUTHOR SELLS OVER 500 COPIES IN ONE WEEK AFTER MASSIVE LAGOS BOOK LAUNCH


An accountant turned author, Victory Lawrence Oyeyemi, has sold over 500 copies of her debut book, In Pursuit of Her, within one week of its official launch, organisers have confirmed.

The book was unveiled on May 9th at Waterside, Lekki Phase 1, before a gathering of women from various backgrounds. According to witnesses, the venue was filled, and the atmosphere reflected strong interest in the book's central themes.

Vicctory, who is trained as an accountant, described the book as a deeply personal project shaped by her own journey of healing, self-discovery, and the determination to move beyond survival-mode living.

Speaking after the launch, she said the goal of In Pursuit of Her is to inspire young women to embrace continuous growth, healing, and self-discovery rather than merely existing or coping with life passively.

The book explores several themes, including healing from emotional wounds, rediscovering identity and purpose, the importance of healthy female relationships and community, personal transformation, and breaking free from limiting patterns.

Victory disclosed that during the writing process, she spoke with numerous women from different backgrounds, documenting their struggles, emotional battles, and life experiences. Those conversations, she said, were transformed into reflective coaching-style sessions woven into the book to help readers feel seen and empowered.


Industry observers note that across Nigeria, more women are seeking safe spaces, relatable stories, and practical guidance that reflect local realities, a gap Victory's book appears to be filling.

Beyond the book, Victory has launched The Becoming Circle, a community platform where women share issues, exchange ideas, and develop solutions together. The platform is designed for women who are intentional about personal growth through honest conversations, shared experiences, accountability, and mutual support.

"In Pursuit of Her is not just a book you read and forget," Victory said. "It is an invitation to become. And The Becoming Circle is where that becoming continues."

As part of the movement's expansion, Victory also plans to visit schools to speak directly to young women about identity, purpose, confidence, healing, and the importance of intentional becoming before life forces them into survival mode.

In Pursuit of Her is currently available on Amazon (international), Selar (digital access), Tebeeba, and as a hard copy. Live book reading sessions and community conversations are expected to begin soon.

  How Celevend Is Solving Nigeria's Event Vendor Problem: A Platform Built for Trust and Transparency By Ayodele Oyeniyi  From wedding photography to catering to venue booking one app simplifies event planning across 24 service categories with verified vendors, real portfolios, and secure payments. Planning an event in Nigeria still means navigating fragmented vendor networks, uncertain pricing, and the risk that your hired photographer won't show up or your caterer will deliver subpar work. The friction is real. Without a centralized platform, event planners whether couples planning weddings, families organizing naming ceremonies, or diaspora Nigerians coordinating from abroad rely on referrals, social media profiles, and hope. Vendors operating independently on Instagram and WhatsApp have no way to systematically reach customers or maintain booking accountability. The Celevend Solution Celevend addresses this directly.

What Mintslate Media’s Job Seekers Teaches Us About Politeness, Power, And Survival At Work

By
Politeness is often praised as professionalism. But in many workplaces, it is also a form of control. Mintslate Media’s upcoming psychological horror film Job Seekers examines how politeness operates as an unspoken rule within professional systems, especially when power is uneven and opportunity is scarce. Rather than presenting the workplace as neutral, the film reveals how survival can depend on silence, compliance, and emotional restraint. Founded in February 2025 by filmmaker Seyi Oluwatimilehin, Mintslate Media was created to tell stories rooted in lived experience. Job Seekers, directed by Seyi Oluwatimilehin and Alan Vega, reflects that vision by centering its story on Maya, a young immigrant attending a job interview that could determine her right to stay. “One of the reasons I founded Mintslate Media was to tell stories that are real, stories that are relatable, honest, and true to our time and existence,” Seyi Oluwatimilehin says. “Every one of these films carries a piece of ...
