Echoes of the Mind: My Book of Standard Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789789500987)

Chuma Mmeka (born June 21, 1975) is an ingenious Nigerian poet, activist, altruist, artisan and artist whose work in various parts of Africa has led to the promotion of underprivileged people's rights. He is an inspiring modern day writer. He is an actor and has featured in a number of bestselling Nollywood Nigerian movies. He is a talented singer and songwriter; a corporate manager, designer, printer, brands and image maker. He is also an events handler and documentary director for several blockbuster celebrity activities. He became a victim of child abuse with his parents' separation in 1976. Brought up under his mother, he suffered humiliation at different times in the hands of abusive maternal relatives. Being the first son of a polygamous family, he was further branded a 'prodigal' by some members of his paternal family for preferring to be with his mother. His formative life no doubt, is reflected in his writing style and social approach. Born a Christian, he dubs himself 'freethinker' and 'realist'. He is committed to social development and charity work. He is married to Nikky Mmeka with children.
