If justice is blind and heading to the wrong direction, somebody has to guide it to the right path. Thanks to the Legal Minds, the Truth-Tellers, and the Quiet Disruptors (the Grassroots). But today, justice is headed to the wrong direction, dragging to get completely fair. During the Black History Month, talking about the naked injustice black people suffered is a way of bringing awareness and preventing the wild oppression from happening again. But dismantling the morally correct efforts to lift the oppressed is justice denied.

February 6, 2026. Please go to chrisokeynnokwam.com to read the entire blog. Thank you for joining in this journey. February is a time for reflection, commemoration, and honoring the monumental struggle for justice, equality, and dignity woven throughout Black history. It is a period when we celebrate the unwavering integrity of leaders, thinkers, and ordinary people that stood firm against systemic shadows.

We often remember the marches, we also must remember the law books. This week, I have kicked off my #BlackHistoryMonth series, "My Tribute To Black History Giants," by honoring the Legal Minds from Thurgood Marshall to Constance Baker Motley. These strategists turned the law into a tool for liberation. Click the link in my bio or my new blog post, "Week 1 The Architects of Justice - Honoring the legal minds that built the blueprint," to read the reason I'm standing on their shoulders today. #BlackHistoryMonth #Legacy #LegalGiants #Leadership

Welcome to the first week of my Black History Month series, "My Tribute to the Black History Giants." When we think of the Civil Rights Movement, we often picture the marches and the speeches.

February is a designated time for reverence, reflection, and honoring the monumental achievements of Black Americans.

February 1, 2026 Please go to chrisokeynnokwam.com to read the entire blog Welcome to a special one-month series here at The Moral Observer. History is rarely a straight line; it is a relay race. We run on tracks laid by those before us, and we carry batons we eventually must pass to those behind us. As we enter February, my heart is full of a specific kind of gratitude.

Every February, the world turns its attention to the triumphs and struggles of Black history. But for me, this month neither is just a series of dates on a calendar nor names in a textbook. It is a deeply personal moment of reflection. When I look at my life, my career, and my right to speak my mind, I am keenly aware that I am not standing on level ground.

While we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King today, Chris Okey Nnokwam, the author of “Rising From The Ashes” among other books, wishes to announce he will kick off two different series of Black History Month blog posts. One version, "His Tribute To The Black History Giants," will post every Tuesday. The other version, "Connecting With The Legacy of Fighting Systemic Injustice," will follow every Friday.

Welcome to this curated collection of my blog posts. My goal is to invite you to look closer - to observe the moral complexities that define us and to find the echoes of truth within the shadows of fiction. As a writer, I always have believed fiction is the greatest mirror we have for reality. Whether navigating the gritty corridors of a crime thriller or the vast expanses of a fantasy realm, the core of every story remains the same: the choices we make when the light is dim and the stakes are high.

What happens when the cherished past collides with the irresistible force of the future? This intense struggle—between preserving history and pushing for rapid, disruptive growth—is playing out in communities large and small across the globe. Chris Okey Nnokwam’s timely novel, The Fierce Battle For Easton's Future, lays that conflict bare. The fictional town of Easton serves as a powerful microcosm of our modern world, forced to choose between its deep heritage and the dazzling, uncertain promise of technological innovation.

Are you tired of political thrillers that offer easy answers and flawless heroes? If you crave a story where the fight for justice is not a simple choice, but a brutal, multi-front war, then "Ashburn: Everywhere Town" by Chris Okey Nnokwam is your next obsession. This novel transcends the genre, offering a deep, powerful look at what happens when ordinary citizens—led by the determined Roscoe Foster—decide to stand up to the systemic corruption that has poisoned their community.

My browser history is….. complicated. 🕵️‍♂️🧙‍♂️ People ask me how I manage to write gritty political thrillers AND imaginative speculative fiction. Honestly? It’s a balancing act.​ One minute, I’m researching forensic procedures for a crime scene in City of Shadows. An hour later, I’m mapping out the magic systems for Neural Nexus.​ It might seem like they are worlds apart, but for me, they are two sides of the same coin.

Imagine a technology that grants you limitless mental power. Now, imagine that technology falling into the hands of someone that seeks not enlightenment, but absolute dominion. Chris Okey Nnokwam’s Neural Nexus is a blistering technothriller set in a near future where the breakthrough of neural interface technology promises to shatter all human limitations. But this revolution is quickly hijacked, transforming the potential of the human mind into the ultimate corporate and ideological battleground.

Whether I’m writing about a detective facing down a crime syndicate or a hero navigating the mystical land of Zenia, the core question remains the same:​ What is the cost of doing the right thing when everyone else is doing the wrong thing?​ We often think of heroes as fearless, but I believe true courage is being terrified and moving forward anyway.

In Chris Okey Nnokwam's urban thriller City of Shadows, corruption threatens a metropolis as activist Steve Cameron confronts the malevolent power broker Jeremy Knox. Through intense external and internal conflicts, Steve grapples with his moral principles while navigating a treacherous landscape. This gripping narrative highlights resilience in the face of profound darkness.

They say fiction has to make sense, but reality creates its own rules. ⚖️​ Coming from a background in law enforcement and finance, I’ve seen the way systems work—and how easily they can be broken. When I write books like Justice Unyielding, I’m not just inventing drama; I’m looking at the cracks in our society where corruption has taken root.​

The Mystical Land of Zenia by Chris Okey Nnokwam is an epic fantasy that challenges typical tropes. It follows Frank, a reluctant hero confronting tyrant Hubert amidst a battle for freedom. The narrative intertwines high-stakes action with Frank's internal struggle for identity, presenting morally complex themes and relationships that blur the lines between heroism and villainy.

"Justice Unyielding: A City That Nearly Lost Hope" by Chris Okey Nnokwam depicts a city mired in crime and corruption, led by Investigator Reuben Gerth's relentless fight for justice. Amidst external chaos and internal turmoil, he faces the villain Colton Plunkett, embracing deep moral dilemmas. A thrilling tale of resilience and hope unfolds.

Have you ever returned to a place you thought was home, only to find yourself an outsider fighting for your very right to belong? Welcome to Ikoronta, the stunning yet unyielding world at the heart of Chris Okey Nnokwam’s powerful novel, The Village Anomaly. This is a land where ancient spirits and customs are so deeply rooted they govern every breath and action.

They say there are no accidents in this village. But they never planned for this. ​To the casual eye, the village is a model of order and tradition. Everyone plays their part, the hierarchy is absolute, and the silence is kept. But Chris Okey Nnokwam, an author that specializes in analyzing the hidden mechanics of systems, knows that a perfect facade often is the hallmark of a deep corruption.​
