There's also another one---highqs.com. In addition to books, they also have toys as well and their delivery is super-fast especially if you live in Lagos.

Yes, the average Nigerians truly doesn't read. It's almost a hopeless situation among adults. We are inured to not wanting to read except for empty fashion and celeb magazines of course and a few inspirational books on how to get rich etc etc.

I think there's still hope for the children. If kids can be brought up with a love of books then chances are higher they will carry this habit into adulthood. The onus is on parents to get good reads for their children particularly during the holidays and not leave their entertainment to Cartoon Network.

There are a number of internet websites springing up these days where parents can buy good books for their kids. There's www.highqs.com and there's another one that's owned by South Africans kalahari or something.

I really do believe reading reaps bushels of benefits and the earlier we inculcate good reading habits in our children, the better for the society.
