THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS: POWER MIKE AND THE NIGERIAN WRESTLING BUSINESS

Hello EVERYONE,

I hope you're all well. 

I've been trying to get something off my chest for quite some time now. Nothing major. But, something critically serious all the same. 

I'm a great wrestling fan. In fact, I've followed WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) since my boyhood. And I must tell you, the excitement I derive from watching professional wrestling and sports entertainment hasn't waned in any way. 

My all-time favourite WWE wrestler was Bret 'the Hitman' Hart and probably SHAWN MICHAELS AKA 'the Heartbreak Kid' because he was equally amazing in the ring and had all the charisma in the world to go with it. 

 I've been wondering when Nigeria and other neighbouring African countries will be able to create a wrestling platform for professional wrestling and the sports entertainment Business. 

 I'm sure we have talented young men and women who will be able to fill the employment gap in that direction by becoming professional athletes and sports entertainers. It also reminds me of the late great Michael Okpala AKA Power Mike of Nigeria, who was incidentally another favourite wrestler of mine. 

Power MIKE was born in 1939 and passed away in 2004. 

He was one of Africa's biggest wrestling stars. He fought internationally, even in the United States of America. 

At one point in his illustrious career, he was a world heavyweight champion. He retired undefeated with about 125 wins. 

After he retired, he created Power Mike promotions. The company brought international wrestlers to Nigeria, who filled stadiums with crowds of tens of thousands. 

Power Mike was literally a legend during this time.  After his reign as a champion, the wrestling scene declined, and his promotion didn't evolve into a long-lasting wrestling organisation like the WWE. 

The Nigerian Wrestling Business:

 Needs a real makeover to start with.

 

It should have training schools where athletes can learn the craft and formative styles of wrestling they choose. 

There should be an amateur wrestling platform attached to it. 

The business must construct a developmental system that can run things smoothly for the talent. 

The wrestling business system should build a storytelling domain. It should have a cohesive programme that falls back on sports entertainment, just like the WWE. 

The product should thrive and shine in this direction because, as far as I know,  Nigerians have a strong sense of entertainment culture, which includes Nollywood film, music and drama.

Additionally, there should be a streaming and digital service,

 This will take care of media coverage, adverts, and other services. For instance, Public relations, publicity, and marketing communications services within the industry. There should also be endorsements, sponsorship programmes developed around the business, and more importantly, a dependable brand that can operate effectively.

The wrestling business, as a definitive product, should create opportunities for the talent they nurture.

 Despite everything, there should be a strong collaborative effort that gives meaning to the word enterprise. This explores other business facets that may or may not have anything to do with the wrestling business as a product or brand.

Youth culture and an African alliance: 

 Nigeria's youth culture could probably form an African alliance with other wrestling brands. So bearing that in mind, what do you guys think? Should the Nigerian professional wrestling business add facets that introduce sports entertainment content and great storytelling from a cultural background?

Hey Gang, STAY SAFE!

Just one more thing. THE MAC LOGAN ADVENTURES WILL CONTINUE. AND THE WORLD WON'T BE THE SAME AGAIN.

    

 THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL  PRESENTS THE MELANIN CONFERENCE DAY AND...

HELLO EVERYONE,

I can’t believe that World Book Day and International Women’s Day have come and gone without my noticing. I think it’s because I’ve been busy and focused on attending other events.

I attended the Melanin Conference on March 7, 2026, at Trinity Church Hall, 90 Hodford Road, Golders Green, London, NW11 8EG. I really enjoyed the showcase and had the opportunity to meet a few people who were interested in learning about melanin. The entire program was focused on health and well-being. And of course, the study of the pigmentation of the skin.

There were stalls where vendors could promote their merchandise.

But this is where my story really begins.

I am a pop-up seller, and I’ve built my mini business around the pop-up business model. I sell a variety of items whenever I can. I've faced criticism from some who try to dictate my path, especially when they discover that I am also a local crime fiction novelist. 

One person wandered over to my stall, intrigued by my display, and asked me, "What exactly are you selling, and how does it relate to the overall programme for the day?"

He had a point.

I wasn't a health professional, and I wasn't selling any health supplements. The fact is, I was invited by the proprietor, who was a family friend. I was also given a stall to showcase my merchandise. I normally have bags, coffee cups, key rings, openers and kids' books to name just a few.  

The young man didn't want to admit that the items I had in my stall were of no use to him. Eventually, he left, taking photos of some of my goods. Sometimes I wonder what goes through the minds of potential customers who show interest in what I display and sell.  You can't win them all. 

The truth is this: I've always been told to be the best version of myself, regardless of the circumstances. There are no excuses—no ifs, no buts, no maybes, as my godfather would say. I might have been mistaken for bringing my wares to the Melanin Conference Day, but you know what? I have no regrets. I am a pop-up artist, and I can set up my stall anywhere to sell my goods.

I've encountered cynical individuals who tried to make my work seem peculiar. That changed when I embraced my identity as a pop-up artist and a local mystery adventure novelist with a global influence.

In conclusion, my condolences go to the family of CHUCK NORRIS, who passed away on the 19th March 2026. He was a man's man and a real American hero. In fact, a true inspiration. 

Hey Gang, STAY SAFE!

NB: Remember the Rattlesnake will RETURN!

 THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS: I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY WITH MY CREATIVE EXPRESSION. AND GUESS WHAT? I WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THAT BAR. NO MATTER WHAT.

HELLO EVERYONE,

I hope everyone's OK

My apologies for mistaking Tom Hiddleston for Tom Hollander on my Facebook account. My sincere apologies. 

Tom Hiddleston is brilliant as the fictional secret agent named Jonathan Pine in the BBC series The Night Manager.  Pine's stronger embodiment as a character is aligned with his persona as an imposter spy figure. It makes him quite unique. Pine reminds me of another fictional spy, Gregory Sallust, created by Dennis Wheatley.  

However, I'm not the only one who makes such mistakes. After all, another writer called the Tom Hiddleston character 'Christopher Pine' instead of 'Jonathan Pine'. Anyway, there are simply no reasons for making such mistakes. However, the mind can be thinking about a thousand and one things.   

Some might attribute this to a mental block or simply a mere mental incapacity. Nothing strange these days.  But let's drop the negativity straitjacket because it's not part of my framework.

I’ve been known to take risks with my craft. I follow in the footsteps of Michael Jackson and the PSQUARE duo, consisting of PSQUARE and RUDEBOY. Their songs and the narratives behind their writing reflect a pursuit of excellence. Their craft is connected to a universal language that reveals the intricacies of society. The result is fresh and exciting music.

I'm sure many American and African music superstars are sailing on the same ship, along with authors like Lee Child, Scott Blade, Matt Hilton, and Walter Mosley, to name just a few. These well-known authors share similar journeys in their respective writing genres.

 I love the way I gravitate towards my way of telling local crime fiction stories. It's all part of a magical process when creating a masterpiece or a series of books. That's why I can relate to the beautiful storytelling of the LE CARRE spy books and the characters in the Jonathan Pine universe.  I must say this, though: The Night Manager's archnemesis, Roper, gives me the jitters. He probably could be a noteworthy adversary for the likes of  Star Wars' DARTH VADER.  He has those chilling qualities. 

When creating and adapting stories, you have to take favourable risks and, most importantly, research them as well. It helps to boost one's confidence and highlights one's experiences. And, it makes you stand out. 

That's why I plan to embark on a quest to help others and learn more about myself, drawing on my experience as a local crime fiction author and self-publishing advocate. It's going to be quite the adventure. 

This starts with highlighting the second free adventure writing session on the 28th of February 2026  at Walthamstow Central Library, E17 7JN. I've got some knowledge to share and goodies to give away. Come ONE. Come ALL on that date because the session will be another exciting event. On that note, I bid you farewell. One more thing. WATCH OUT FOR THE RATTLESNAKE. HE WILL RETURN.

STAY SAFE!

  

 THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS: INSPIRATION DOESN'T GROW ON TREES. YOU! MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Hello Everyone

Memories with a Rattlesnake!

I can't believe it's been a year since the release of my second paperback thriller, titled *Shades of Falcon: The Crooked Deal Vol. 2*. I'm excited to share that the Rattlesnake will be returning in another action-packed mystery adventure!

You might think you've seen everything with Mac, but think again. The Expendable PI is just getting started, and he'll be back to battle the wicked. The big question is: who will he face? If you've kept up with Mac's adventures, you’ll know he has amassed a considerable rogues' gallery of men and women over time.

It seems that Jarrett has another date with destiny, and so does his sidekick, the noble journeyman. C.E. M.A.W.—which stands for C.E. Mechanics of Adventure Writing—is starting its free workshops and may also offer masterclasses soon. Starting from January 31, 2026, the mobile one-stop shop for everything related to adventure writing, as well as writing in general, will kick off its first session of the year at Walthamstow Central Library, E17 7JN.

Join us for an exciting time! Let's talk about inspiration. We become the inspiration we wish to see in ourselves. My father used to sing a song, even if it was out of tune. The song was "Everything's going to be alright," by the Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley. On the other hand, another legend, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, once said during a television interview that he wouldn’t sing a song unless he truly meant it. Michael sang with passion and danced into greatness, becoming the world's greatest pop star—truly inspirational.

We can all inspire and benefit one another. You never know where it could lead. Inspiration doesn't grow on trees; it starts with you!

STAY SAFE!

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD WITH CE M.A.W!

Hello everyone,

Merry Christmas to all of you, and Happy New Year!

Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes on December 5th, 2025. This time of year often involves explaining my creative projects, but I won’t delve into that in this message.

I’m excited to announce that my free adventure writing workshop will begin in the New Year!

I have two dates scheduled: January 31, 2026, and February 28, 2026, at Walthamstow Central Library, High St, London E17 7JN.

I plan to reintroduce favourite pieces like The Noble Journeyman and The Rattlesnake at libraries and other outlets. The first set of free lessons will take place at Walthamstow Central Library, and I will share more details soon.

Next year, the mechanics of adventure writing will officially be known as CE Mechanics, reflecting my unique approach to teaching this craft.

Looking forward to an exciting year ahead!

Hey Gang, STAY SAFE!

THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS:

 THE EXPENDABLE PI GETS  IT'S VERY FIRST JIGSAW PUZZLE.   

IT'S HALLOWEEN AND IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH. AND THINGS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED. 

HALLO EVERYONE,

I hope this piece meets you in good spirits. I can't believe its almost December and the weather is becoming somewhat unbearable in my humble opinion. These days there are dark skies and it is dreary, wet and extremely cold and this gives an indication there is cold weather coming and that means winter is making its come back real soon. We are currently in Autumn. But, it sure does feel like we are in the winter season.

I went to meet a friend somewhere in Tottenham. I'm not going to mention names. She's a good woman and a brilliant children's author. She also writes books for adults too.  Anyway, we met at a local eatery and guess what? After exchanging pleasantries she gave me a present wrapped in a brown envelope. It was a copy of my second mystery thriller SHADES OF FALCON: THE CROOKED DEAL VOL 2 but, now designed as a jigsaw puzzle. I just couldn't believe it! 

I didn't know you could design a book cover as a jigsaw puzzle. Amazing! My friend's present was just a reminder these days anything is possible especially with the advent of artificial intelligence and technology.

I'm now working on my fourth manuscript. And I'll talk about that another time. However, I choose to digress a little bit in order to bring up a few things that happened at the Black History month celebrations.  

Anyway, there were lessons to be learnt at the Black History month event I attended on the 31st of October 2025. And, one of them was always be prepared. 

I was invited to do a short talk on my writing journey and self-publishing at my friend's BHM 2025 event which took place at the Angel Community Centre in Edmonton . 

I wasn't really prepared to do anything because I had come to promote my work as a pop up artiste and enjoy the squalor of the occasion. But, there I was dragged along to do this talk which I thoroughly enjoyed because of the questions and the process. 

There were three slots in this showcase. The first two slots were obviously jam packed with verve and information. A lesson in Black History took the first slot and then a Reggae choral group sang their hearts out because it was coincidentally Bob Marley Day.  So, after all that I had to come up with an amazing plan to keep the audience agog with expectation again and it worked perfectly. Thanks to the host of the hour and my esteemed friend (whose name I will not mention).

The Quotes for this particular event were thus: 

Franklin Thomas- 'one day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us  as complex  human beings'. AND

Michelle Obama-History has shown us courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.

All in all it was a very good event because I sold my books and promoted my work and I got to learn so much about my Black History. The audience who asked me questions got to learn what it took to be a self-published author in this day and age and walked away from the event with the ideal nature of the self-published author's unique work ethic. 

STAY SAFE!
