NEXUS Every empire in history ran on a story. The next one will run on something that doesn't need us to believe it. For 70,000 years, humans ruled the planet because we could do one thing no other animal could: get millions of strangers to cooperate by sharing fictions. Gods. Nations. Money. Laws. Information was the thread, and we held the needle. Now, for the first time, the needle has a mind of its own. Nexus asks the question no one in power wants to answer: what happens when the stories that govern your life are no longer written by humans? When the algorithm that decides who gets a loan, a job, a prison sentence, or a war is not just faster than you, but unreadable to you? Yuval Noah Harari traces the hidden architecture of civilization, from clay tablets to the printing press to the machine that never sleeps, and reveals an unsettling pattern. More information has never meant more truth. It has meant more power, more control, and more beautifully organized delusion. The printing press gave us science. It also gave us the witch hunts. What will this give us? You are already inside the network. You have been for years. The only question left is whether you are still a participant, or just data. Read it before it reads you.

BEYOND FAIRY TALES Some men inherit thrones. Dr. Yusufu Bala Usman inherited one and walked away from it to stand in front of a classroom. Born into Katsina royalty, he chose the harder crown: pursuing truth. What followed was a life spent tearing down the comfortable myths — the "fairy tales" — that colonial and elite historiography had told about Africa, and replacing them with something far more powerful: a history rooted in evidence, in the voices of ordinary people, and in the conviction that Africans were never bystanders in their own story. This collection gathers the sharpest of his writings — essays that refuse to separate the past from the present, scholarship from struggle, or intellect from integrity. Usman believed history was not a museum piece but a weapon for justice, a lens for understanding the forces still shaping nations today. He trained a generation of scholars, challenged presidents and professors alike, and never once let privilege dull his loyalty to the people. Beyond Fairy Tales is more than a tribute to a brilliant historian; it is an invitation. An invitation to question inherited narratives, to dig for the real story beneath the myth, and to believe, as Usman did, that understanding our history is the first act of building our future. For students, scholars, and anyone who has ever wondered what the truth costs — and what it's worth. PRICE: 3000 NGN 📌

EMIRS AND POLITICIANS As chief executives in Britain’s model colonial administration in Africa, the emirate aristocracies of Northern Nigeria, accustomed for over half a century to a cosy collaboration with the British, were wary of the looming challenge to their considerable authority by an emergent political class. The resulting competition for power during the terminal phase of indirect rule pitched the emirs against party politicians who insisted that the former could not continue to function in their Lugardian purity. The reforms that followed led to purges in which a large number of old guard emirs unamenable to change were deposed. Based on primary source material, this book examines the impact of political and administrative changes in Northern Nigeria during the period of decolonisation (the 1950s) and early independence (1960–1966). The focus is on the emirate aristocracies while the emphasis is on the emirs’ reaction to change and its consequences on their statutory authority and its extensive privileges. “Superbly researched, clearly written, authoritative.” A. H. M. Kirk-Greene, St. Antony’s College, University of Oxford “...a detailed and illuminating account of ...how the young men that formed the Northern People’s Congress managed to create their own kind of ‘indirect rule’ that kept the emirs both in their place and on the party’s side.” Murray Last, University College London PRICE: 10,000 NGN 📌

GUNS, GERMS & STEEL It wasn't superiority. It was geography — and that might be worse. For centuries, the story of conquest was a story of destiny: some peoples were simply built to rule, and others to be ruled. Jared Diamond takes that comforting lie and incinerates it. The truth is colder and stranger — the fate of civilizations was decided tens of thousands of years ago by the shape of continents, the axis of trade routes, which wild grasses happened to grow where. Steel didn't crown the strong. Germs didn't punish the weak. Chance did. That's the disturbing part. If it wasn't destiny or virtue that built empires and buried others, if it was accident of soil and latitude, then every hierarchy we've built to explain the winners and the losers since is a story we told ourselves after the fact. No one earned this world. No one deserves what they inherited from it. Diamond didn't just rewrite history. He took away civilization's oldest excuse. PRICE: 18,000 NGN 📌

THE LOYALIST A Memoir of Service and Sacrifice Loyalty is the most celebrated virtue in politics. It is also the most profitable lie. Bolaji Abdullahi spent years at the heart of power, where devotion is demanded, rewarded, and quietly weaponised. In this memoir, he asks the question no insider dares to ask aloud: What happens to a person who gives everything to a system that was never loyal to them? Here, loyalty is a currency, trust is a transaction, and sacrifice is something others spend on your behalf. Behind every handshake is a calculation. Behind every promise is a price. And somewhere between conviction and compromise, a man must decide who he is willing to become. The Loyalist does not flatter the powerful, and it does not spare the faithful. It forces you to confront an uncomfortable possibility: that the people who serve most loyally are not the system's heroes but its most useful instruments. You may finish this book admiring its author. You may finish it furious. You will not finish it unchanged. Are you loyal to a cause, or only to the people who benefit from your loyalty?

DISCIPLINE IS DESTINY Every great life is built the same way: one hard choice at a time. Talent fades. Motivation wavers. Circumstances shift without warning. But the person who has mastered themselves can stand in the middle of any storm and keep moving forward. That is the quiet power the Stoics understood, and the one Ryan Holiday brings roaring back to life. Drawing on the wisdom of ancient philosophers and the stories of those who conquered their impulses, their fears, and their excuses, Discipline Is Destiny shows that self-control is not about deprivation. It is about freedom: the freedom to choose who you become instead of being ruled by every craving, distraction, and passing mood. You were never meant to be a slave to your appetites. You were meant to be the master of your own will. Your future is not decided by luck. It is decided by what you do when no one is watching, when it's hard, and when quitting would be easier. Take command of yourself. Everything else follows. PRICE: 5500 NGN 📌

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 📌
