Latest Book Release
THE TRAVEL TALES OF MY FATHER AND OTHER STORIES
The stories in this collection were analysed by master’s students’ class of Discourse Analysis taught by Dr. Emad in British University of Dubai (BUiD). This collection has also been entered into the Kindle Storyteller Competition. Get your copy now on Amazon – Kindle or hard copy.
This latest collection is a continuation of Uwem’s life experiences as a teacher and an expatriate living and travelling across different cities worldwide. In these his sojourns, Uwem has a history of meeting with intriguing and unconventional characters. Known for his keen observational skills, Uwem transforms ordinary daily occurrences into extraordinary tales.
One story that exemplifies this talent is about Ikpeadiamkpo, who travels to the U.S. expecting to be hosted by Mr. Wymne, an old friend. Upon arrival, things take an unexpected turn, altering the course of Ikpeadiamkpo’s life entirely. This story, written in three parts, explores the themes of fate, human relationships, and the powerful forces that shape our destinies. It serves as a modern-day classical example of how an ordinary tale can be woven into an extraordinary narrative that keeps you gripped from beginning to end. This story has been read and analyzed as part of a master’s Discourse Analysis course at The British University in Dubai.
The collection delves into the profound idea that “When people make promises to people, they forget that a date will always be kept with posterity.” It’s a thought-provoking collection that promises to engage readers in a deep intellectual and emotional journey.
Quote of the Day
Don’t feel discouraged when you have not yet hit success and when you hit success, don’t relent, because it is not the final bus stop
You do not hit success and stop because life is evolutionary and revolutionary. When you set goals for yourself and have not yet hit it, do not be discouraged, keep pressing, because you have to hit it. However when you hit it, do not stop, set more goals and do not let pride set in too. Stay humble and keep pressing.

The Vital Ingredients for Learning: Asking Questions and Researching
There is no way you can learn stuff without asking questions and researching. These are two vital ingredients. If you don’t do the finding out, you are going to wallow in ignorance. So, engage in personal research, ask questions, talk to people who are more informed in the areas you want to learn more about and take a personal interest in these areas. Take ownership. It is a lot more shameful if you do not make the effort to learn compared to not knowing ~ Uwem Umana [...]
Uwem Umana breathes life and passion into his characters, in each of his narratives. He has an amazing eye for detail and great editorial instincts. Enrich your mind leaves you desiring for more. This page has my highest recommendation.
I was privileged to have met the founder of Enrich your Mind and tap into the understanding of the great pattern of turning thoughts into things and bringing results that I desired in my life. It took shorter than I expected to get into a leadership mindset that I am still reaping dividends from. I have no doubt in my mind that Enrich Your Mind is literally about enriching young minds with the wealth of knowledge that will propel them to become great leaders.
