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 Phantom Of The Opera by Gaston Leroux
₦2,000First published in French as a serial in 1909, The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her. After a time at the opera house, she begins hearing a voice, who eventually teaches her how to sing beautifully. All goes well until Christine’s childhood friend Raoul comes to visit his parents, who are patrons of the opera, and he sees Christine when she begins successfully singing on the stage. The voice, who is the deformed, murderous ‘ghost’ of the opera house named Erik, however, grows violent in his terrible jealousy, until Christine suddenly disappears. The phantom is in love, but it can only spell disaster.
Leroux’s work, with characters ranging from the spoiled prima donna Carlotta to the mysterious Persian from Erik’s past, has been immortalized by memorable adaptations. Despite this, it remains a remarkable piece of Gothic horror literature in and of itself, deeper and darker than any version that follows.

Albert Schweitzer by Patricia Morris
₦4,000Dr. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was already famous as a musician, philosopher and theologian when he qualified as a medical doctor and forsook Europe’s comforts to live ethically, with what he called “Reverence for Life”. In pursuit of this aim, in a jungle in equatorial Africa, he built a hospital and a leper village for isolated hunter-gatherers. His achievements were recognized with international awards, honorary degrees and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. In his last years Schweitzer was a vehement protester against the development of nuclear arms and against foreign interference in the Congo. Suddenly he became an easy target for criticism. Schweitzer’s biography reminds us of the sacrifice required to live a moral life, including that our well-intended actions are as likely to arouse excoriation as admiration.
In Part One the author takes a fresh look at Schweitzer’s life story, acknowledging the often grinding toil and emotional demands that interrupt, even preclude, success. Her account illuminates Part Two, the brief diary kept by her father, the orthopedic surgeon Cecil Morris, on his working visit to Schweitzer.
Patricia Morris is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. She is the author of Freud, Politics and Civilization, and Love & Sex: 50 therapy lessons, the latter about problems in relationships that bring people into therapy.
In a review of Albert Schweitzer: The Difficulty of Doing Good, Martin Birdseye of Christian CND wrote, “The characters are very human and portrayed sometimes in what seems like a hard light, so you may feel disappointed if you are hoping for a hagiography or even just a feel-good story. But the story is about how hard it is to do good and not just to be good. . . . A man with a profound and ultimately prophetic view of the world could not in the end maintain an apolitical stance. From his overwhelming “reverence for life” [Schweitzer] felt compelled to condemn nuclear weapons and to engage with this and some other issues on a world stage. This book is not just an encouragement but also an elemental and tangible part of the story towards nuclear weapons abolition.”
