That's the guy that wrote The Godfather. Great author.

Piracy is a crime and must be treated as such.

Good job! Let's get rid of pirated goods.

Let's start with books

Then foods

Then our leaders

This just shows how sorry Nigeria has become. Everyday our reading culture moves one step closer to the grave in this smartphone era and here we are celebrating seizure and destruction of books. Pirated books make available and affordable books that would have cost a small fortune to buy if original copies were bought.

Instead of going to Alaba to fight movie and music pirates Na books dem fit show muscle

My dear I can't even remember where I kept mine

This is totally nonsense.

All the books i see here are foreign books.

How many people can afford these pirated books of N800?

How many can then afford the original that cost N10,000?

If it were Nigerian books, fine.

But these are foreign books.

Instead of tackling the real problem, they go after symptoms of it. The average Nigerian has no access to real knowledge, especially books, unless one goes through illegal means.

It's not a mystery why we never make progress. Successive governments have no plan for the next gen. No plan to make give us the knowledge and skills to become globally competitive, to be creative, etc etc.

Our fvcking useless government can't stock up our public libraries (that's even if we have) with good books, can't make good books available in schools, and can't cut deals to have low-cost versions available for students. The average student can't afford to buy the original copy from Amazon.

Most of the books I've read aren't available in Nigeria. You only have Naija criminal "bookshops" who'll order something you can directly order yourself and markup the price and delivery for profit. That's not a bookshop, it's a delivery service, an unnecessary middleman.

Now, I can afford to buy original copies but I'll be nowhere near what I am today without illegally downloaded books due to useless government that we've got.
