Emmanuel’s plight is a metaphor for a country perpetually on the precipice. It weaves hope with sorrow, in a way that is both horrific and painfully familiar to a population collectively traumatised by the abduction of the Chibok girls. Endearing in its portrayal of paternal love – within a culture that does not always give room for self expression – Ndiomu skilfully demonstrates what can happen, when multiculturalism declares war on itself. This is a tale of Nigeria in microcosm. Awash with promise, culture, colour, horror, and relentlessly drawn to self sabotage. Yet in the face of utter hopelessness, her people manage to pull themselves from the brink, and soldier on. A harrowing, pulsating read.

Michael Ndiomu’s work is candid and honest, much like his personality. His simplistic take on complex issues makes it comfortable when he says the quiet parts out loud. It is truly refreshing to have a male perspective that is unabashedly sentimental and firm yet vulnerable. Looking forward to many more to come.
Lolo Eremie
Michael Ndiomu’s debut is raw, heartfelt and unforgettable. In No More Tears: A Father’s Love, A Daughter’s Cry, he shines a light on loss, courage, and the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter in the face of unimaginable darkness. Ndiomu’s voice is fresh, bold, and deeply human, a storyteller to watch.

Working with Michael Ndiomu on the writing project DEEP was an inspiring experience. He brings heart, honesty, and vision to his writing, and it’s clear he approaches every story with a deep sense of purpose. His storytelling is layered, emotionally resonant, and carries an authenticity that draws readers in. Michael has a unique ability to balance strong character development with engaging plots, making his work stand out in today’s literary and film landscape. He is without doubt a writer whose voice deserves to be heard.

Michael Ndiomu is one of the most honest, sincere, dedicated, talented and hardworking individual I know. Candid, objective, practical and doer are amongst words I can use to describe him. We both play in an industry where integrity is deficient, so it is easy to stand out when transparency and accountability are one’s hallmark. Our conversations are always solution oriented and not just talk. I am always impressed by Michael’s laid back yet focused approach to whatever goals he sets for himself including taking on this role of writer/author. There has been nothing Michael has mentioned to me he will do that he hasn’t done and executed to great acclaim. From running a cinema to serving in the cinema association to working with a major film festival to owning and hiring film equipment to putting together and executing a production and doing all of these whilst holding down an Executive Finance Career profession that only few can boast of. I am so excited about this book by Michael, and I have no doubt that readers will be drawn into the creative, honest and sincere mind of a genuinely good man from the creeks of Bayelsa, Nigeria.

Michael is an exceptionally talented author and director whose creative prowess never ceases to amaze me. His latest novel, No More Tears, promises to be yet another testament to his extraordinary storytelling abilities. Having had the privilege to read his previous works, I am continually captivated by his vivid imagination. Michael crafts worlds with such depth and detail that you, the reader, are effortlessly drawn in, fully immersed in the experiences of his characters. His storytelling mastery and creative writing make him stand out in the literary field, and I have no doubt that No More Tears will be no different. I eagerly anticipate the journey this new novel will take us on and look forward to witnessing the impact it will have on readers everywhere. Micheal’s unparalleled ability to connect with audiences through his words is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly support him in this new venture.
Rogers Ofime
A powerful and poignant story of a father’s unwavering love and determination. Against the backdrop of Boko Haram’s brutal insurgency, this book is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity for resilience and hope. The author’s gripping narrative takes readers on a journey through the treacherous terrain of northern Nigeria, as the protagonist navigates unfamiliar landscapes and confronts unimaginable challenges in search of his son. A compelling and thought-provoking read that sheds light on the human cost of conflict and the unbreakable bonds of family.
