The Mystery Duplex by the Side of the Ocean

Ihom, A.P.

Frank Udoette Publishers, Uyo · 2018 · 106 pages

This imaginative novel traces the rise of the fictional nation of Takuluku from East African migrants who practice idolatry and witchcraft. Christian missionaries convert the heir Ayima; he eventually becomes king, Christianizes the land, and brings progress. Centuries later the people abandon the faith, inviting prophesied destruction, until a resurrected righteous king returns to fulfill prophecy and rescue the nation. The book calls readers back to God for national and personal renewal, and includes light moral tales about young women plus “revealed knowledge” chapters.

Modern Foundry Principles and Practice

Ihom, A.P.

PAI Memorial Center for Innovation and Research · 2022 · 473 pages

The 21st century’s tech revolution, including 3-D printing, has not diminished foundry’s vital role. Castings form in one step from liquid metal—the most direct metallurgical process. Drawing on 23 years as a shop-floor foundryman and academician, this practical book bridges theory and practice. It covers solidification, furnaces, moulding materials, casting design with 3-D printing, techniques, quality control, post-casting treatments and computer simulation—laying a solid foundation while stressing a strong Nigerian foundry sector for true “Made-in-Nigeria” cars.

Not a Lost Battle

Prof. A. P Ihom

A²P² Business Center, Jos · 2020 · 157 pages

This must-read book stresses knowledge vital to all living things. Most names are fictitious. The world nears its end as the kingdom of men—today’s UNO, the feet of clay and iron in Nebuchadnezzar’s image—gives way to God’s kingdom. Before that end come terrible battles, pain, herdsmen killings the government ignores, and trials that question faith. Linking current events, Bible predictions and science, it emphasises that nothing separates us from God’s love. Sharing 2012 tragedies and Nigeria’s 2018 Fulani herdsmen attacks, it assures every experience is not a lost battle: as God’s property you cannot be defeated, just as Christ’s death brought victory.
