I have to hand it to The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen.R. Covey. And The Foolishness of God by Paul Aribisala. Both altered my realities for ever.

With the exception of one poster, all the others are foreigners. How else would you be influenced by books written by foreigners at the expense of our own Nigerian writers? I thought I would read names such as
Fagunwa
Gabriel Okara
J.P Clark
Oluwole Soyinka
Chinua Achebe etc
