Work And Worship: Selected Speeches of Sir Ahmadu Bello KBE
₦3,000Sardauna was regarded by many, especially from the southern part of the country as vain, arrogant, haughty dictatorial and dubious. Someone to be feared and someone to be avoided at all times, but to us who were close to him. He was a simple man of warmth and affection, open and giving, generous ever too generous, fair, compassionate and loyal.
If you happen to visit him everyday or every week or every month, if you fail to turn up twice, the Sardauna would send someone or go himself personally to find out what was wrong. He was very easily affronted but always quick to make amends. He was no less humble for his failings and always put the fear of God and God’s blessings in all his undertakings.
The Sardauna had a wonderful capacity for serving the people. He was never tired of traveling either by road or by air in order to render services to the people. In one of his speeches he said, “I personally dedicate myself to work untiringly for the progress and happiness of the new North. I swear in the name of Allah that if I die today, I would leave nothing but a legacy of a struggle for the liberation, welfare and dignity of the masses of this country”.

The Art Of Being Alone
₦3,000Taylor Swift said once, “The scary news is, you are on your own now. But the cool news is, you are on your own now”The fear of loneliness was injected into our minds since we were kids. We have learned that the kid who eats, sits, and has no friends is pathetic. In every book or movie, the kid who eats alone and has no friends is always featured as a weak character who needs to be saved. Pick any book or movie, and you will observe a common pattern around loneliness. These people were shown as easy targets or an object of your sympathy.No one wants to be seen as a ‘weirdo’ hence, our dread of being alone. We don’t want people to think of us as someone who needs to be saved or mocked. Someone who is unwanted or doesn’t fit in with the cool kids. We don’t want people to think that no one chose us. So what do we do? We start becoming like an ideal version of whom everyone loves. And in the race of achieving people’s acceptance and love, you end up losing yourself. The Art of Being Alone is not just another book. It’s a story of my life. I have been alone for the majority of my life. And I still am. The only difference is, earlier I used to wish for the kind of best friend who will save me and now I enjoy every day with myself, doing things that I always wanted to and using my ‘alone time’ to GROW MYSELF and build my dream life. And through my book, I want to take you on the journey of being cool with being alone. I have spent most of my life wishing for people to stay or have fun with me while ignoring my soul waiting for me to pay attention to myself. I know it’s tough to be lonely. But I promise, it’s fun to be alone. And it’s even more amazing when you use your alone time to build your dream life, achieve your goals, and fall in love with yourself.We fear loneliness because we have been manipulated into believing that loneliness is a curse. And in the hope of finding people, we often end up losing ourselves and doing things that we hated in the first place. Why? Why do you hate the idea of being with yourself so much that you are ready to settle for the bare minimum? But enough is enough. I have divided this book into two sections. The first section is about transforming loneliness into solitude. And the second section is about how you can use your solitude to turn into your growth period. If you are ready to transform your perception around loneliness and if you are all set to achieve your goals using your ‘alone time’ then welcome to ‘The Art of Being Alone’‘The Art of Being Alone’ is for every person who wants to learn how to use your alone time in a way that you fall in love with your current life while also feeling excited to work toward your dream life. If you are still victimizing your character because you were left behind, it’s time to turn the table around and build the life you always wished for.

How To Deal With Idiots by Maxime Rovere
₦3,000Idiocy is all around us: whether it’s the uncle spouting conspiracy theories, the colleagues who repeat your point but louder, or the commuters who still can’t count two metres, our lives are beset by idiots. But what is the answer to this perpetual scourge?

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers By Sean Covey
₦3,000Based on his father’s bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he “stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world… along with a few other surprises.” Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in “relationship bank accounts,” creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad’s theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens,” which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don’t cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out… Covey’s humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.
