Tobi Faith Ajet is a Nigerian writer and playwright whose work blends identity, culture, resilience and social justice. She writes with clarity, purpose and a heartfelt commitment to stories that spark empathy and pride. Online, she shows up as a trusted voice on:

Her ethos is warm, honest and impactful, every post, play or page offers insight and a chance to carry Africa’s spirit forward.
Growing up immersed in Nigeria’s rich traditions, I saw firsthand how stories can shape identity and inspire change. My own journey (living both in Nigeria and abroad) has given me a broad perspective: I believe everyone has more in common than we think, and that our unique cultures can connect us rather than divide us.
I write with honesty and warmth, always aiming to uplift and empower. My work champions resilience and heritage, encouraging readers, especially young Africans, to be proud of their roots and dreams. Beyond writing books and plays, I love to connect with people directly. Whether I’m on stage or hosting a webinar, my goal is the same: to inspire others to find their voice, embrace their heritage, and believe in the power of their own story.

Blood in Our Delta

Genocide On A Love Day
I want you to listen; closely, listen. Let me tell you a story; my story, a story of love. It was all about the serenading importance of a peaceful country, and what a peaceful co-existence amongst people from two far-away lands across the world could be like, feel like, smell like, and look like. It is a little story of the love I found, how we brought two different worlds together, and the drama that comes with love.
Canada is my home; who would have thought that a simple, unadventurous, and un-daring persona like me would travel across the globe, only to find true love in a town named Southern Amajyepfo, Rwanda? It is unthinkable, until this exclusive moment.
My family, I and Derrick along with his soul-lifting sister Kwizera made an eventful trip to Rwanda to have the traditional wedding in order to please the in-laws who won’t come to Canada, for the outlandish fear of crashing in an aircraft. Who would blame them; right?
Unfortunately, there was genocide in Rwanda as we are engrossed in it. This experience has turned all the good feelings into a sour taste. It has burnt my love story to the ground. It has left me with an unforgettable memory that will shape my life forever. Take a read…
My Southern Love
‘My Southern Love’ is a play written to shed some light on the evil acts of xenophobic attacks currently suffered by foreigners especially Nigerians, in South Africa.
This comes as a huge shock to Nigerians especially owing to the fact that Nigerians have shown South Africans nothing but love and support and was part of a host of many nations that kicked terribly against the apartheid regime suffered by the blacks in South Africa. Nigeria played a huge role in their walk to freedom through their relentless support.
This book is written with the intention to change the mindset of hatred and lack of reception towards foreigners, especially Nigerians in South Africa.
