These are the key questions explored by Richard Bourne in this remarkable and wide-ranging account of Nigeria’s history, from its creation in 1914 to the historic 2015 elections and beyond.

Crushed

₦3,500.00 ₦3,500.00

CRUSH-ED is not another whining story about the African experience, even though the title may lead in that direction. The title is really an acronym for the strategies that Africa (the sub-Saharan region in Particular), must adopt if it is not to face extinction in the medium to long term. The book presents pungent and urgent, analysis of the precarious situation that region of Africa has found itself; a situation foisted not only by the historical facts of slave trade and colonialism (as most texts on the subject are wont to aver), but most importantly the failure of the African states themselves to properly interpret their cultures and how those clash with the ones they are try to adopt and adapt to.

Let It God – Forgive So You Can Be Forgiven

₦3,500.00 ₦3,500.00

Your mouth ever gotten you in a tangled-up mess?

Maybe it’s time you adopted a new rule of tongue.

Got words? Oh yeah, you do! The average women speaks over 20,000 a day – not to mention the ones she types online. Karen Ehman – a woman whose words have often landed her in a heap of trouble – shares from experience the hows (and how-not-tos) of dealing with the tongue. KEEP IT SHUT will teach you:

The difference between gossip and properly processing with a trusted friend
A helpful grid for using our digital tongue as we talk online or on social media
How to pause before you pounce, attacking the problem but not the person
How to avoid saying something permanently painful just because you are temporarily ticked off
What the Bible teaches about making our speech laced with grace, as sweet as honey, and yet seasoned with salt

Using biblical examples, as well as Karen’s own personal (and sometimes painful!) stories, KEEP IT SHUT will equip you to know what to say, how best to say it, and when you’d better just keep your lips zipped!

If I take the wages of everyone here, individually it means nothing, but collectively all of the earning power or wages that you earned in one week would make me wealthy. And if I could collect it for a year, I’d be rich beyond dreams. Now, when you see this, and then you stop and consider the wages that were kept back from millions of black people, not for one year but for 310 years, you’ll see how his country got so rich so fast. And all that slave labor that was amassed in unpaid wages, is due to someone today, And you’re not giving us anything when we say that it’s time to collect.”

₦3,000.00 ₦3,000.00

Barry Cummins examines the cases of Ireland’s women and children who have vanished in sinister and mysterious circumstances. Missing looks at who may be responsible for these disappearances.

This book outlines, in clear and disturbing detail, the fact that some of Ireland’s most cold and calculating killers have not been caught.

They are some of Ireland’s most famous names, for all the wrong reasons. They are Ireland’s missing women, many of them murdered and their bodies hidden by evil killers who remain at large. They include American woman Annie McCarrick who was murdered in the Dublin-Wicklow mountains; Jo Jo Dullard who was abducted and murdered while hitching a lift in County Kildare; and former model Fiona Pender who was seven months pregnant when she and her unborn child were murdered and hidden at an unknown location in the midlands.

And then there are Ireland’s two long-term missing children. What ever happened to little Mary Boyle, the seven-year old County Donegal girl last seen walking near her grandparents home over a quarter of a century ago? And where is Philip Cairns, who was only thirteen years old when he was abducted from a Dublin roadside while walking to school in 1986?
