About the Author
Jide Pomary is a seasoned Product Manager, strategist, and business leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling digital products across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise technology. He currently serves as Senior Products and Partnerships Manager at one of the top commercial banks in Nigeria, where he leads cross-functional teams in the development of innovative financial technology solutions and strategic partnerships.
A Magna Cum Laude graduate in Agricultural Economics from Bowen University and an MBA holder from the University of Lagos, Jide’s journey into product leadership is anything but conventional. His early career in sales sparked a realization: “It was here I discovered my passion for building and improving products rather than just selling them.”
That passion led him into the world of product development, starting from ideation and iteration, through to launch, and long-term lifecycle support. Today, Jide specializes in global product strategy, API-led solution design, and seamless go-to-market and stay-in-market execution. His work is rooted in solving real-world problems through scalable, user-centric digital experiences.
He is a Certified Product Manager, a Mastercard-certified professional in digital payments, and a trained data analyst, with a focus on data-driven product leadership. When he’s not launching or refining products, Jide enjoys playing table tennis, watching football (Team Manchester United), and cheering on his favourite boxers (gloves off, ringside only!). He’s also passionate about music, fashion, and storytelling – often found strumming a guitar or scribbling his next big idea.
Sins of Our Fathers is his debut book – part tribute, part memoir, and the beginning of a writing journey that’s only just begun.

It is a deeply inspiring book, one that brings people together through the sharing of life stories and timeless lessons. I believe readers will find valuable insights within its pages. As the late Bob Marley once said, “If we don’t know where we are coming from, it’s difficult to know where we are going.” This quote captures the essence of the book. It reminds us that understanding the past is essential to navigating the future.
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to become consumed by the complexities of modern life. Yet, even in times before social media and digital distractions, people found meaningful ways to live, connect, and grow.
The wisdom of past generations rooted in values like courtesy, gratitude, and respect still holds great relevance today.
To the readers: embrace these generational lessons. Let them guide you, not just in understanding where we’ve been, but in shaping where we’re going.

Jide Pomary’s ‘ Sins of Our Fathers’ simply presents the strength of fathers even in the face of their vulnerability. The experiences shared show how fathers let go of all they have, to be able to build their families. They empty themselves of their money, much of their sleep, depth of their love, and their time, to give meaning to families that in turn build the society we see.
The meaning from these stories of love, provision, discipline, struggles, and the acknowledgement of the God-factor helping them, before their families, is the foundation upon which everyone from a family grows.
I presume the book is prepared for fathers-to-be, who should learn from how and what older fathers did to give life to their families. To every young man who reads this, please take each special story to heart as your guide, because here’s a ‘cheat book’ to help you succeed as a father.

Seeing my friend’s vision come to life in this book is incredible. Undoubtedly, reading through has not just enriched my understanding of fatherhood, but also deepened my honour for everyone embracing this responsibility, especially my Abba Father! This isn’t just a book; it’s a genuine look at fatherly love in action, even when that love seems ‘tough’. If you value the fathers (and father figures) in your life, this is a recommended read! If you don’t and desire to, I’d still recommend!

This book is a profound and heartfelt tribute to the multifaceted roles fathers play that may have been ignored in years past. Fathers are nurturers, providers, protectors, and spiritual anchors. Jide masterfully weaves together personal narratives, biblical wisdom, scriptural references and generational insights to create a compelling literature that celebrates fatherhood in all its complexity. The book’s raw honesty and diverse voices make it a timeless guide for men, women, and families seeking to understand, honour, and redefine legacy.
Personally, what sets Sins of our Fathers apart is its ability to balance vulnerability with strength, tradition with evolution, and individual stories with universal truths. It’s an experience that challenges, heals, and inspires. A must-have for anyone committed to breaking cycles, building bridges, and leaving a meaningful imprint on the next generation of men and their families.

In Sins of Our Fathers, Jide Pomary delivers a transformative work that makes an unmistakable attempt to redefine fatherhood, turning the traditional notion of inherited flaws into a radiant celebration of love, sacrifice, and enduring legacy. This captivating blend of personal anecdotes, biblical wisdom, and generational reflections paints a vivid portrait of fathers as nurturers, providers, protectors, and spiritual guides.
Through seven compelling chapters, Pomary explores the multifaceted roles of fatherhood—love, provision, protection, guidance, leadership, discipline, and godliness—each brought to life with heartfelt stories from diverse contributors, spanning cultures and generations. A standout quote, “Love in fatherhood is more than an emotion; it is an action, a commitment, and many times—a sacrifice,” encapsulates the book’s soul, highlighting the profound commitment fathers embody.
What sets this work apart is its bold challenge to conventional masculinity, advocating for vulnerability and emotional intelligence as strengths. These perspectives, combined with Pomary’s product management approach to crafting the book, promises a universal appeal and practical guidance.
Sins of Our Fathers is more than a book; it’s a call to action, urging readers to honor their fathers’ legacies and inspiring current and future fathers to lead with wisdom, faith, and grace. Its diverse narratives resonate deeply, offering a fresh lens on family dynamics in our ever-evolving cultural landscape.
Whether you’re a father seeking inspiration, a child reflecting on your roots, or simply someone who values the power of family, this passionate and insightful work will leave you moved and motivated to build upon the legacies of those who came before. A must-read for anyone cherishing the profound influence of fathers, Sins of Our Fathers stands as a timeless tribute to the heart of family life.

Because there is a lot of accolades and praises are more for the women these days. From literarily so many women books and all. The book comes at a good time to praise the male gender for the many things they do. This is good because men can easily see where they fall short and readjust their lives. I also feel it helps men to be vulnerable too. I like the part on Nurture, showing emotions how they know how to do it. There is strength in being vulnerable.

Well done, Jide. This is thoughtful, detailed, and says a lot about how intentional you were with this project. For some people, writing a book is simply about being identified as an “author” and in the process, they miss the depth and intricacies that go into creating something truly meaningful.
As someone who loves to read and values intentional writing, I’m genuinely impressed by the effort and heart you’ve poured into this. I hope this book reaches those who need it the most, even those who don’t yet realize they do.
