“I created this work by spot welding metal rods to play around a stylized figure while I added metal plates to the form, used sawdust as texture, and gloss paint for the rusty brown metallic feel. Finally i brushed it lightly using a little red and yellow gloss paint for highlights.
Aboki means my friend and it is an Hausa word from the Northern part of Nigeria. In the southern part of Nigeria where i come from, it is a term used for any hardworking person who comes from the Northern part of the country.
We always need them for our daily needs and they are a part of our life, of note is the fact that they setup suya spots at night in places where there is high pedestrian traffic. The suya is brownish in color – reason for the finished work being textured and painted deep brown to look like suya. This work has metal lines shaped in the form of cowries (ancient currency used as a medium of exchange in Africa) to connote the importance of money and the reason for this kind of job been taking up by them. The truck itself has burnt inscriptions of different things I am always in contact with everyday.
Whenever the northerners leave the north for the south, they come to actualize their dreams of making money, while they go back home to invest.”

Politics By Aristotle
Seller: GrammyBooksWhat is the relationship of the individual to the state? What is the ideal state, and how can it bring about the most desirable life for its citizens? What sort of education should it provide? What is the purpose of amassing wealth? These are some of the questions Aristotle attempts to answer in one of the most intellectually stimulating works.
Both heavily influenced by and critical of Plato’s Republic and Laws, Politics represents the distillation of a lifetime of thought and observation. “Encyclopaedic knowledge has never, before or since, gone hand in hand with a logic so masculine or with speculation so profound,” says H. W. C. Davis in his introduction. Students, teachers, and scholars will welcome this inexpensive new edition of the Benjamin Jowett translation, as will all readers interested in Greek thought, political theory, and depictions of the ideal state.SKU: n/a
