At Rhibbon Nation, we are currently providing book publishing consulting services to an intellectual and professional who is writing a book to encourage African countries to move from exporting their natural resources in their raw forms—whereby they lose a significant portion of potential revenue—to processing these resources before exportation, which will allow them to earn far more.

From the very first conversation, it was clear that this project was more than just another book; it was a visionary manifesto for Africa’s economic transformation. The author’s passion for the continent’s progress runs deep. He believes that Africa’s true wealth lies not merely in its vast natural resources, but in its ability to refine, process, innovate, and create value from what it already possesses.

To him, the future of Africa depends on shifting from a consumption-driven, extraction-focused economic model to one powered by value-addition, industrialisation, and strategic economic thinking. His manuscript champions the idea that if African nations take ownership of the entire value chain, from extraction to processing to export, they will unlock unprecedented growth, create millions of jobs, and position the continent as a competitive player in the global marketplace.

As we worked with him to shape the book, we saw the depth of his conviction: that Africa has come of age, and that African nations ought to rise above dependency; constantly relying on aid, loans, and externally dictated economic frameworks. Rather, he argues that the continent must now chart its own economic destiny by harnessing its resources, building strong manufacturing capabilities, and embracing policies that prioritise self-sufficiency and long-term prosperity.

His vision aligns with a universal economic truth: nations only prosper when they build strong manufacturing capacity, invest in human capital, and transform their resources into products that bear their own signature of excellence and command global respect. The author insists that this is the future Africa must embrace. In essence, the book is a call to self-reliance, economic sovereignty, and a bold reimagining of Africa’s place in the global value chain.

For us as publishers, it has been both inspiring and humbling to walk alongside a mind that dares to dream of a new Africa; one that is not just a supplier of raw materials, but one that is a creator of value, innovation, and world-class industries.

This project reminds us that books are not just words on paper; they are instruments of awakening; tools that can reshape how societies think, act, and create their future.

OVERCOMING SELF-DOUBT AS AN ASPIRING AUTHOR

“I am not sure anyone would want to read my story.”

“I don’t even know where to start.”

“What if my writing is not good enough?”

These are different variations of the same kind of thoughts that people looking to write a book for the first time typically have.

If you have ever felt strongly about writing a book but have not done so after many years, it’s likely that what has held you back is not lack of time or talent; it’s self-doubt.

Truthfully, this is not new. Almost every aspiring author I have met has wrestled with some version of self-doubt before writing their first page.

But here is the truth: self-doubt does not mean your story is not good enough or that you lack the depth of knowledge needed to write about your topic. It simply means you care deeply about getting it right; and that’s actually a good thing.

What you must not do, however, is let your fears stop you.

There are practical steps you can take to overcome self-doubt and successfully write your book. Let’s look at them:

1. Start With Clarity, Not Confidence.

You don’t need to feel “ready,” you just need clarity on what you want to write about and why it matters. To be clear about what you want to write about, ask yourself:

• What story or message do I believe I have to share?

• Why is my story or message important?

• Who would the book help?

• What positive impact would the book have on those who will read it?

If you produce authentic answers to these questions, the answers will keep you mind steady when doubt creeps in.

2. Break It Down Into Small, Achievable Goals.

Instead of focusing on “writing a book,” make up your mind to write one page per day. Better still, decide that you will devote 45 minutes each day to write. As you write bit by bit and make gradual progress, your confidence will also gradually soar and self-doubts will eventually lose its grip on you.

3. Celebrate Every Milestone You Achieve

When you finish your outline, make a big deal of it. Do the same when you hit your first 1,000 words or complete a chapter. By celebrating each win, no matter how small, you reinforce your progress, build positive momentum, and reminds yourself that you have what it takes to finish what you started. The reminder makes you feel good about your progress, which in turn, fuels motivation, which keeps you going until you finally complete your book.

4. Get an accountability partner.

Find someone who will keep you committed to your writing goals. This could be a fellow writer, a writing coach, your spouse, or a trusted friend. Share your progress regularly. Knowing that someone else is expecting updates helps you stay consistent and push through moments of doubt. Accountability and encouragement go a long way in quieting self-doubt.

Self-doubt may not disappear overnight, but it loses power each time you take action in spite of it. So start writing today and never quit until you finish writing your book

BOOK TITLE: THE GOAT EQUATION

ABOUT THE BOOK

ASP Ngufan Son is a young, brilliant, second-generation police officer with a radical vision: transform the force from a feared institution into a trusted partner in public safety. For her, change begins within—reshaping the mindsets of officers to embrace humane, creative, and community-centred policing. But in a climate of deep mistrust, where citizens keep the police at arm’s length, her ideals are a dangerous gamble.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Kar Kyenge has spent his career clinging to his principles, earning the respect of colleagues while resisting the rot creeping through the ranks. Now, he must confront his own superior, ACP Sam Igwe, a man who hides corruption behind a mask of discipline and integrity, ruling his jurisdiction with intimidation and an iron fist.

Bound by duty but divided by strategy, Ngufan and Kar must navigate a system rigged against reform. Their quest for change within the police could either trigger a fundamental transformation or destroy them both.

Books teach, nurture, and inspire across generations. If you have ever desired to write a book, just go ahead and do it. You never know how many lives your words might transform - today, tomorrow, or in a hundred years.

23/05/2025

If you operate in the book publishing industry for any length of time, you will be amazed at how many people you meet who will tell you they have been writing a book for the past one, two, three, or even four years, but have not yet completed it.

Each time they commit to finishing it, something inevitably gets in the way. A new job, a busy schedule, social media, family obligations, and children’s needs. The list goes on.

Let’s face it: writing a book is hard. It is not only a mentally demanding task but also often requires maintaining sustained focus in a world full of distractions.

But there is good news: you can finish your book if you are intentional about how you work.

A few tried-and-true strategies can help you cut out distractions, stay focused, and finally finish writing your book:

1. SET A DEDICATED WRITING SCHEDULE (AND TREAT IT LIKE AN IMPORTANT MEETING): Treat your writing time like an appointment you cannot miss. Whether it’s 30 minutes in the morning or two hours every evening, ensure that you stick to it. Let your family, friends, or coworkers know that your writing time is sacred. The more you respect your time, the more progress you will make with your writing.

2. CREATE A DISTRACTION-FREE WRITING SPACE — EVEN IF IT'S JUST A CORNER OF A ROOM: Choose a space where you will not be interrupted. Put your phone in another room or turn off notifications. Use noise-cancelling ear-piece or soft background music to help you focus.

3. BREAK YOUR WRITING INTO SMALL, MANAGEABLE SESSIONS: A book is overwhelming when you think of it as one big task. Break it into chapters, then sections, then daily word count goals. Achieving even just 500 words a day adds up faster than you think.

4. USE THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE: Work in short, focused sprints, say, 45 minutes of writing followed by a 10-minute break. This technique helps prevent burnout and keeps your brain engaged.

Writing a book is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s not about waiting for inspiration but building habits that support your focus and enhance your creativity. If you can maintain discipline, focus, and grit for as long as you need to, you will start and finish writing your book.

A couple of days ago, I read a post that reminded me of a book I have been meaning to write, about the power of having a mentor and how leveraging that relationship can help you grow and succeed in your career or business.

The idea for the book came from my journey.

After a few years of navigating the path of entrepreneurship, I realised that if I had a mentor to guide me, I would have done much better and avoided many of the mistakes I made when just starting out.

I still intend to write the book one day.

I believe it will be helpful to many young professionals and budding entrepreneurs.

A mentor helps you see what you might not be able to see on your own.

They have walked the path, gathered useful insights, and gained valuable experience, so they can point you in the right direction and help you avoid potential banana peels on your way to achieving your goals.

If you find someone with the right experience and willingness to mentor you, seize the opportunity wholeheartedly.

It will do you a world of good.

And if you are already an experienced professional or entrepreneur, why not take someone under your wing – someone who shows passion, the right attitude, commitment, and a genuine willingness to learn and grow?

Yes, mentoring others is often hard work, no doubt.

It takes time, patience, and intentional effort.

But the reward far outweighs the cost.

There is a deep fulfilment that comes from watching someone you helped to groom rise to their full potential and achieve great things.

It’s a feeling that no amount of money or gold can buy.

Moreover, when you help others grow, you grow too.

And that is what true growth is: helping others grow as you grow.

I think the quote, “True growth is not measured by how far you go alone, but by how many you lift as you rise," captures it well.

There is an author whom we have worked with to write and publish four books, and is currently working on his fifth.

Each time he launches a new title, he says that for him, it’s all about making an impact and leaving a legacy.

And frankly, we agree with him – a book can be a powerful legacy.
You see, writing a book is more than just publishing words, it’s an act of attaining immortality.

Immortality, not in the literal sense, but in the only way that truly matters – being remembered for something positive and impactful.

When you write a book, you preserve your voice in a world that constantly changes.

Your ideas and stories can still speak through the pages you leave behind long after you stop talking.

Your book can still start conversations.

It can teach.

It can heal.

It can challenge assumptions.

That’s the quiet, enduring power of a book: it lives on, finds new readers, and keeps the conversation going long after we are gone.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to write a book, remember, you won’t just be putting words on paper.

You will be planting something that will outlive you.

Something that can inspire people you might never meet, in places you may never go, for generations to come.

And never think, “Who am I to write a book?”

Instead, ask: “Who might I help if I do?”

Then go ahead and write it Because while all humans eventually leave this side of eternity, books don’t die, they live forever!

20-Point Summary of the Book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” ⁣

“How to Win Friends and Influence People” might have been first published almost 100 years ago, but it’s still one of the most powerful books on personal growth and people skills out there. Its core message reminds us of something simple but true: whether it’s in your personal life, at work, or in social settings, success often comes down to how well you relate to other people. ⁣

In the book, Dale Carnegie shares real-life stories and practical psychology to highlight timeless principles for getting along with others. While the title may sound like the book is all about employing tricks and guile to manipulate people, the content actually focuses on building real, respectful, and lasting connections. ⁣

It’s a guide to building trust, becoming more persuasive (in the right way), and leading with empathy and emotional intelligence. ⁣

Below is a summary of the key points of the book: ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Part 1: Fundamental Techniques in Handling People ⁣

1. Don't Criticize, Condemn, or Complain – Criticism puts people on the defensive and often leads to resentment rather than change. People are more likely to respond positively to encouragement than criticism. ⁣

2. Give Honest and Sincere Appreciation – Recognising and appreciating others’ efforts makes them feel valued, and encourages goodwill and cooperation. ⁣

3. Arouse in the Other Person an Eager Want – Focus on what others desire and align your goals with theirs to arouse their interest. To gain their support, let them see how your ideas benefit them. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Part 2: Six Ways to Make People Like You ⁣

4. Become Genuinely Interested in Other People – Show sincere curiosity and concern about others’ lives to build rapport. ⁣

5. Smile – A simple, genuine smile can create a warm and inviting impression and make you more approachable. ⁣

6. Remember and Use People's Names – A person’s name is the sweetest sound to them. Using their name when addressing them conveys respect and recognition. ⁣

7. Be a Good Listener and Encourage Others to Talk About Themselves – People enjoy talking about themselves and appreciate good listeners. When you give them a listening ear to talk about themselves, you build trust and openness, and your likeability shoots through the roof. ⁣

8. Talk in Terms of the Other Person’s Interests – Steer conversations towards what matters to the other party, to increase engagement. ⁣

9. Make the Other Person Feel Important – and Do It Sincerely – Acknowledge their attributes and worth. Validating someone’s worth boosts morale and strengthens relationships. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Part 3: How to Win People to Your Way of Thinking
⁣
10. Avoid Arguments – When you argue with a person, you convey to them that they are wrong or are not smart enough. You will rarely change their minds that way. Instead, seek understanding and compromise. ⁣

11. Show Respect for the Other Person’s Opinions – Never Say “You are Wrong” – Tactfully acknowledge differing viewpoints without confrontation or allowing the conversation to devolve into an argument. ⁣

12. If You Are Wrong, Admit It Quickly and Emphatically – Owning up to mistakes earns respect and defuses conflict. ⁣

13. Begin in a Friendly Way – Beginning with a warm, friendly, and positive approach sets the tone for constructive and cooperative interactions. ⁣

14. Get the Other Person Saying “Yes” Immediately – Begin by asking a series of questions that lead the other person to answer “yes” a few times, to establish agreement and build momentum. ⁣

15. Let the Other Person Do Most of the Talking – People appreciate being heard, so allow others the privilege to express themselves to make them feel valued. ⁣

16. Let the Other Person Feel That the Idea Is Theirs – People support ideas they believe they helped create. Crediting others for ideas increases their buy-in and cooperation. ⁣

17. Try Honestly to See Things from the Other Person’s Point of View – Being patient and empathic enough to see things from the other person’s perspective promotes understanding and diffuses resistance. ⁣

18. Appeal to Nobler Motives – Inspire people by appealing to their values. Talk to them in terms of their desire to do the right thing, contribute, and make a difference. ⁣

19. Dramatise Your Ideas – Always present your ideas in a vivid, memorable, and compelling way to capture interest and inspire action. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Part 4: How to Be a Leader and Change People Without Offending Them ⁣

20. Give the Other Person a Fine Reputation to Live Up To—Set high expectations while letting the other person know you believe they can achieve those expectations and will strive to meet them.

IBB’s autobiography has sparked a huge conversation across the country. Since its release, Nigerians have had engaging debates about his legacy, leadership, and the impact of his policies on Nigeria’s political and economic trajectory. Everyone who has read or is reading the autobiography has a thing or two to say.

It’s interesting that after leaving power 32 years ago, General Babangida could stir Nigeria’s soul to the extent that he has done with the launch of his autobiography. It might not be out of place to say he is arguably the most consequential leader – for good or bad – in the history of Nigeria

What’s your take on the book? Do you think it offers genuine introspection, or is it more of a strategic narrative to burnish his legacy?
