THE SELECTORATE When Judges Topple the People You voted. You queued under the sun. You dipped your finger in ink and believed that meant something. It didn't. Not in the way you were told. In The Selectorate, Chidi Anselm Odinkalu asks the question democracy's guardians hope you never will: when a court can undo what millions have decided, who is the real sovereign? The ballot box, or the bench? Behind every contested verdict sits a quiet power, robed, unelected, and answerable to almost no one. Odinkalu follows the strings upward, from the roaring crowds to the hands that move them, and exposes how the will of the people can be overturned in a single afternoon by a handful of men and women you never chose. Is this justice, or is it a coup in a wig and gown? Unsettling, fearless, and impossible to shelve quietly, The Selectorate will leave you doubting what you were taught about elections, courts, and your own power. Some readers will call it essential. Others will call it dangerous. Read it, then try to look at a courtroom the same way again. PRICE: 15,000 NGN 📌

MEDITATIONS He commanded the most powerful empire on earth. And every night, he wrote to remind himself that none of it was his. Marcus Aurelius never meant for you to read this. These pages were a private conversation between an emperor and his conscience, scribbled in army camps, in plague years, in the long shadow of betrayal and loss. He wrote to keep himself honest, to meet each dawn with purpose, and to face each dusk without regret. What he left behind is the most enduring guide to inner strength ever written. You cannot control what happens to you, only what you make of it. Obstacles are not in the way; they are the way. The time you have is shorter than you think, so spend it being the person you keep promising to become. Nearly two thousand years later, his words still steady the anxious, humble the proud, and wake the ones who have been sleepwalking through their own lives. Open it anywhere. Let a dead emperor teach you how to live. PRICE: 6500 NGN 📌

STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF PRE-COLONIAL BORNO For over two thousand years, one civilisation stood at the crossroads of a continent, and history books barely whispered its name. Now the silence breaks. Studies in the History of Pre-Colonial Borno, edited by Bala Usman and Nur Alkali, tears down the lazy myth of "tribal chiefs and endless wars" and unveils the real Borno: a powerhouse of trade, scholarship, faith, and fierce diplomacy, wired into the Hausa, Fulani, Tuareg, Arab, and beyond. Its story is the buried foundation of Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and Libya. Turbulent. Dazzling. Unforgettable. Read it, and you'll never see African history the same way again.

THE GOBIR FACTOR What if the story you were taught began at the wrong ending? For two centuries, the history of the Rima Basin has been told by the victors. Gobir was cast as the tyrant, the obstacle, the villain who had to fall so that a new order could rise. But who wrote that verdict? And who benefited from it? Before 1808, Gobir was no footnote. It was a military power, a political engine, and a force that shaped the rivers, markets, loyalties and fears of Hausaland. Its rulers built a state strong enough to be the center of events, and strong enough to be remembered as an enemy. This book reopens the case. It follows Gobir from c. 1650 to the eve of the jihad, and asks what was truly at stake. Was this a clash of faith or of power? Was it reform or conquest? Were the "oppressed" and the "oppressors" who we were told they were? And what did the winners need us to forget? Uncomfortable, rigorous and unflinching, The Gobir Factor challenges the comfortable myths on which identities, legacies and political memory still rest. Read it, and decide who has been telling you the story all along. PRICE: 6500 NGN 📌

The 'Ulama of Borno A Study of the Relations Between Scholars and State Under the Sayfawa, 1470–1808 When the pen shaped the throne, and the throne sought the pen. For over three centuries, the Sayfawa rulers of Borno governed one of the great empires of the Central Sudan. Yet behind the throne stood men whose power came not from armies but from learning: the 'ulama, who taught, advised, judged, and kept the moral conscience of the state. In this illuminating study, Hamidu Bobboyi explores the enduring tension between knowledge and power. Where did scholars legitimize kings, and where did they hold them to account? A landmark contribution to African and Islamic history, this book reminds us that ideas outlive empires. PRICE: 5500 NGN 📌

HOW TO THINK MORE ABOUT SEX We think about sex constantly, yet rarely think well about it. Between private longing and public silence, most of us are left confused, anxious, or quietly ashamed. In this sharp, compassionate guide, Alain de Botton brings philosophy to the bedroom. He explores why desire is so hard to talk about, why it can fade in the people we love most, and why it can pull us toward the very things we fear. With wit and clarity, he shows these struggles aren't signs of failure. They are part of being human. This is not a manual of techniques. It is an invitation to understand yourself with more honesty, tenderness, and courage. Read it, and you may find that the most intimate subject in life is also one of the most illuminating.

PULL OF FATE Pull of Fate: The autobiography of Magaji Dambatta, is such a beautiful piece of work, a great treasure not only for future generation of our nation but for those of us still living serving our people in various capacities. When I started reading the book I realised that so much intellectual thought has gone into it that it did not require any change or modification. I became highly impressed with the language and style of presentation with every sentence linked to the other and each paragraph leads to the other in such a way that it encourages the reader to keep on reading and arouses his anxiety to know what comes next. The book is no doubt a masterpiece which has captured a great deal about this great personality and his contribution to the development of our dear nation, Nigeria, as well as recording a substantial amount of the exciting and unique life of a people with rich culture and tradition who have passed through different and difficult stages of their history. The book reveals to us Malam Magaji as a true symbol of these unique features of a great culture. He remains even in modern times a meeting point between the young and the old, rich and the poor with the capacity to communicate with and work under any difficult circumstances. Here is a man of great talent who is content to lead a simple life inspite of the fact that he interacts with people across the social rung of the ladder including almost everyone of Nigeria's Heads of State and many other influential people. He knows them as friends and in some cases as subordinates, yet he remains true to himself - a man of principle, of modesty and sincerity. I commend Mallam Magaji for living such a worthy life and for being a role model that we must all be proud of. - Professor M. Nur Alkali, Ph.D. CON, FHSN, FIMC. May, 2010. PRICE: 6000 NGN 📌

AMINU DANTATA Some people build businesses. Others build the ground a nation stands on. From the trading routes of Kano to the boardrooms of a young republic, this is the story of a man who saw opportunity where others saw obstacles, and who trusted patience, integrity, and hard work to carry him through decades of change. Through colonial markets, independence, boom years and lean ones, Aminu Dantata kept building: trade, industry, and relationships that outlasted every season. Drawing on deep family insight and careful scholarship, Munzali A. Dantata traces a remarkable life alongside the story of Nigeria's commerce itself. It is a portrait of enterprise rooted in faith, discipline, and service, and of what one person's vision can set in motion for generations. Whether you are a founder, a student of history, or simply someone who wonders what it takes to build something that lasts, this book offers a lesson that never goes out of date: legacy is not inherited. It is built, one honest day at a time. PRICE: 10,000 NGN 📌

SHEHU MALAMI: A PRINCE OF THE CALIPHATE Selected Speeches and Commentaries Born into the royal house of the Sokoto Caliphate and educated at the Middle Temple, London, and among the halls of Oxford and Cambridge, Shehu Malami moved between two worlds — the ancient and the modern — and belonged fully to both. As Sarkin Sudan of Wurno, diplomat, banker, and co-founder of institutions that shaped Nigeria's economic future, he carried the weight of centuries-old tradition into boardrooms, embassies, and the corridors of nation-building. This collection of his speeches and commentaries is more than an archive — it is a masterclass in bridging heritage and progress. Within these pages, a prince who never stopped being a statesman shares hard-won wisdom on leadership, identity, and service: how to honor where you come from while boldly shaping where you're going. For anyone seeking to lead with both conviction and humility, A Prince of the Caliphate is a reminder that true nobility is not inherited — it is lived, spoken, and passed on.

THIS LAND IS OUR LAND Who gets to say "this land is mine"? And who decided they were allowed to? Every border was drawn by someone with power and defended by someone with fear. Suketu Mehta looks at the walls, the quotas, and the speeches about "invasion," and asks the question that makes nations flinch: what do the rich countries owe the people whose wealth, soil, and labor built them? He does not ask for sympathy. He presents an invoice. The empires that took the world's resources now guard their gates against the descendants of the people they took them from, and Mehta calls that what it is. Migrants, he argues, are not a threat to the West. They are its creditors, its caretakers, and its future. Comfortable readers will want to disagree. Mehta makes it very hard to do so without looking at your own history. This is not a plea to let them in. It is a demand to explain why they were ever kept out. PRICE: 8500 NGN 📌

MEDITATIONS The most powerful man on Earth wrote this book to remind himself how to be good. Marcus Aurelius ruled an empire, buried children, fought wars, and survived plague, yet in the quiet of his tent he wrote not for glory, but for discipline. No audience. No applause. Just a man, his conscience, and the courage to begin again each dawn. Meditations teaches what no throne can give: that you cannot control what happens to you, only who you choose to become. Pain, loss, betrayal, and time itself lose their power over a mind that refuses to be ruled by them. Nearly two thousand years later, his words still steady the anxious, strengthen the weary, and call the ordinary to greatness. Read it, and rise like someone who has nothing left to fear.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF KATSINA What if everything you were taught about the Hausa past was written by people who needed you to believe it? For centuries, Katsina was told as a story of kings, conquests, and holy wars. Yusufu Bala Usman refused to accept that story. With a ruthless intellect and a historian's contempt for comfortable myths, he tears open nearly five hundred years of power, trade, and conquest and asks the question few dared to ask: who benefited from the way this history was remembered? Here, ethnicity is not destiny, religion is not the whole explanation, and the heroes of official memory are made to answer for what they built, and on whose backs. Yusufu Bala Usman does not flatter your identity. He dismantles it, then shows you what was underneath. Read it, and you will never hear the word "tradition" the same way again. PRICE: 3500 NGN 📌
