The Scandalous Lives Of Abuja Elites
₦22,000Kemi, a mechanic, walks right into the seemingly lifeless body of Aisha Bashir as she opens her workshop on a rainy November morning. With a gunshot wound to the head and at the brink of death, Aisha lays still as she recounts all the salient moments that led her there. From meeting Zeebaby to her emancipation as the ‘new girl’, she would never have thought she would be holding on to her dear life on the floor of a mechanic’s workshop.
While Aisha grapples with life, a whole world of chaos has befallen the once-sleepy hills of Maitama. Like Beverly Hills, Maitama is the playground of the rich and powerful. Nestled on the hills of Abuja, she knows many secrets and could tell many tales of the scandalous elite who call her home.
Salma, a Maitama trophy wife with a secret, inexplicably finds herself at the centre of an international drug ring after meeting a dashing young Turk – Altin. Her husband Tanko Danlami, a prominent businessman with a secret life of his own would set in motion a series of events which intersects their lives in dangerous and exciting ways.
Maitama Linen tells a story that unravels and then entangles the lives of numerous characters, and while these stories are unique to these characters, there is a common scandalous thread unifying them all. At its core, the book exposes the hypocrisies that typically underly the deeply held cultural, ethnic and religious norms and values upheld by the masses but often decimated by the elite.

Proof Of Collusion By Seth Abramson
₦30,000For the first time, the full, explosive record of the unthinkable: how a US president compromised American foreign policy in exchange for the promise of future business and covert election assistance.
Looking back at this moment in history, historians will ask if Americans knew they were living through the first case of criminal conspiracy between an American presidential candidate turned commander in chief and a geopolitical enemy. The answer might be: it was hard to see the whole picture. The stories coming in from around the globe have often seemed fantastical: clandestine meetings in foreign capitals, secret recordings in a Moscow hotel, Kremlin agents infiltrating the Trump inner circle

The Assault On Intelligence By Michael V. Hayden
₦30,000A blistering critique of the forces threatening the American intelligence community, beginning with the President of the United States himself, in a time when that community’s work has never been harder or more importantIn the face of a President who lobs accusations without facts, evidence, or logic, truth tellers are under attack. Meanwhile, the world order is teetering on the brink. North Korea is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon that could reach all of the United States, Russians have mastered a new form of information warfare that undercuts democracy, and the role of China in the global community remains unclear. There will always be value to experience and expertise, devotion to facts, humility in the face of complexity, and a respect for ideas, but in this moment they seem more important, and more endangered, than they’ve ever been. American Intelligence–the ultimate truth teller–has a responsibility in a post-truth world beyond merely warning of external dangers, and in The Assault on Intelligence, General Michael Hayden takes up that urgent work with profound passion, insight and authority. It is a sobering vision. The American intelligence community is more at risk than is commonly understood, for every good reason. Civil war or societal collapse is not necessarily imminent or inevitable, but our democracy’s core structures, processes, and attitudes are under great stress. Many of the premises on which we have based our understanding of governance are now challenged, eroded, or simply gone. And we have a President in office who responds to overwhelming evidence from the intelligence community that the Russians are, by all acceptable standards of cyber conflict, in a state of outright war against us, not by leading a strong response, but by shooting the messenger. There are fundamental changes afoot in the world and in this country. The Assault on Intelligence shows us what they are, reveals how crippled we’ve become in our capacity to address them, and points toward a series of effective responses. Because when we lose our intelligence, literally and figuratively, democracy dies.

Captain Comet and the Purple Planet – 15 Books Collection Set
₦22,500I’ve always loved space adventures, but Captain Comet and the Purple Planet is the first space story I’ve written myself. The story went through various shapes and sizes before arriving at the published version.
It started out as one of several story ideas for a space series about a tiny planet ruled by a young queen and defended by a daring hero, who at that stage was called Captain Stardust. I jotted down a few plot outlines including the purple planet story, but didn’t develop the idea any further at the time.
