In this edition, we turn the pages of one of Nigeria’s most captivating short story collections — “Whispering Trees” by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim.

This collection takes readers on a moving journey through human emotions — love, loss, faith, destiny, and the quiet struggles that shape everyday lives.

Each story whispers truths about our shared humanity, blending realism with a touch of the mystical — from tales of resilience and redemption to those of heartbreak and hope.

Whispering Trees is not just a book; it’s a mirror held up to society, capturing the soul of a nation in transition and the voices often unheard.

Let’s join John Agu of our partner station Albarka Radio to explore the themes, characters, and deeper meanings behind this remarkable work — and why it continues to resonate with readers across Africa and beyond.
