“The continent of Africa must have millions of tiny villages, so what is so special about Kob? We are frequently prone to generalizations in order to hide our limitations in discerning what may be special from the rest.”
—Professor Walinjom F. T. Muna, Centre Universitaire de la Science et la Santé, Yaounde, Cameroon

“[Author Thaddeus Agwo] is a man to keep an eye on as a young writer of African descent writing from an African perspective.” —Dr. Stanley Lewis, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts

“Thaddeus has a very special talent for creativity, with a personal and unique writing style.”
—Dr. Daniel Muna, CEO, Polyclinic Bonanjo Hospital, Cameroon

The Mysterious Virtues of Paul Abanda is a true story, one that reveals the mysteries of village law and uncurtains cultures that are not predicated upon what can be distilled into a beaker and subsequently measured. Although curse and sorcery are still practiced in some parts of Africa, much of what was seems lost. This story attempts to retake some of the abandoned culture through stories of actual events, real but often unexplainable.. Author Thaddeus Agwo pulls us into a world in which traditional dances foster happiness, and where mysteries, upon which a Western lens might not affix an easy focus, have thrived for centuries in an uncertain world.
