Speaking at the book launch in Lagos, the author said “All for Love” which is a narrative expose of a real life situation that has been fictionalised to divert attention from the concerned persons, is borne out of the need to preach the morals and virtues of perseverance to younger Nigerians.
“All For Love seeks to motivate young people because the book is about the story of a young man who out of nothing did something with his life. Love is carefully woven around the whole scenario. It is a real life story but I fictionalised it so that it would be interesting, entertaining and educative.
“It is something that the youth can read and challenge themselves to do something about their lives instead of waiting for government scholarship that are no longer there, so we have to individually pursue our lives to do something with it.
“On the other hand, I use my collection of poems titled; ‘Numan, My Numan’ to address some of the current socio-political issues in the country including the Boko Haram issue and the abduction of the Chibok School girls which I titled, ‘Stolen Dream’. I also made reference to politics very strongly I just hope they won’t  come and pick me up because I just spoke my mind but ended it on a positive note,” Pastor Bamaiyi said.
The Pastor who said he has been writing many books over the years also said he often derives divine inspiration while writing. This is the first time he is launching two books.
Also speaking, the book reviewer, Mr Norbert Olisakwe said he was able to observe the passion driving the author, which made him discover that he also had a passion to communicate good values to his readers. And this he has succeeded in doing, using “All for Love”.
Olisakwe further noted that being a writer per excellence, Pastor Bamaiyi has also succeeded in using his second book, “Numan, My Numan” to reflect on a number of issues affecting the society, the Nigerian nation, the Boko Haram insurgency, among other issues he felt needed to be reflected on.
