about me


I uploaded my first novel "It Goes On Forever" about a year ago. I thank you fellow members of this wonderful writing community for your support during the past year. Your comments have enabled me to edit the book, and I now have a much better product.

I look forward to your continued support. I do return ALL reads. I am a retired person, and have time to spend at the website.

At this stage I welcome book agents and publishers to take a look. You never know.

Thank you all for stopping by.

It Goes On Forever

Gabriel Otiko

It Goes On Forever is a fictionalized true story of the first love between Eweji and Ronke in a small community in West Africa.


Eweji was named Tunde at birth according to Yoruba culture, but when he survived a near fatal illness at about ten years of age, an old woman friend of the family renamed him Eweji, again strictly in accordance to the culture of his people. The new name stuck, and he and Ronke, the girl next door, enjoyed a non-biological brother-sister relationship until they fell in love, to the joy of the entire community.

Unexpectedly, an arrogant rich boy, Kunle, came between the two lovers, relying totally on his inherited wealth to do exactly what he wanted, either to flirt with Ronke or keep her to himself forever. Did he succeed, and how did the rude interruption affect Eweji over time?

The novel is complete at 42,000 words.

Folake, There is only one way to describe your presentation of the interaction between Bimbo and Lara in Chapter 1...vivid and real. Your writing came out real, vivid and enjoyable. You have chosen a topic that will attract young men to find out what really goes on in the female mind in this kind... view book

I find it a bit difficult to get into your work, perhaps your writing is meant for the upper stratum of the readership; the type of work that eventually wins a top literary award. Good luck, sir. You are on my shelf, for sure. Gabriel(It Goes On Forever.) view book
