About this ebook
The wisdom series by Sinmisola Ogúnyinka is her second attempt at writing a series. The series comprises of at least, eight books dealing with status issues. It is written with easy-to-read, down-to-earth realism that keeps the reader glued. You’ll definitely see yourself in one or more of these stories.
Wisdom for singles takes you through several situations single men and women face in their bid to find a life-partner suitable for them. Many mistakes are quite unnecessary and you’ll find there is revelation knowledge in this short volume. It cuts across a wide range of marital issues for singles though it is not exhaustive.
The stories are fiction based on true life experiences and the wisdom nuggets that precede each account are pieces of the author’s mind. The desire of the author is to see everyone who picks this book up, blessed; learning, and changed.

The two ladies had laughed, indulged him, and from that day, they had become friends and then, intimate.
Efosa, though a native of Edo state had
