VILLAGE PEOPLE

In Nigeria, we have a national anthem that isn't in the constitution: "Na my village people." Whether it’s a career slump, a messy breakup, or a phone taking a dive into a pot of egusi soup, we’ve mastered the art of seasoning our misfortunes with the blame of unseen forces. It’s our favorite scapegoat, a comfortable crutch that keeps us from looking too closely at ourselves.

Village People is a witty, unapologetic, and deeply relatable deep dive into the psychology of self-sabotage. While the book doesn't deny that life is mysterious, it dares to suggest a radical truth: The most powerful "village person" in your life is usually you.

From the habits directing your personal movies to the comfort zones holding your destiny hostage, this book serves as a mirror rather than a lecture. It’s a call to stop outsourcing responsibility to imaginary enemies and start winning the internal battle of You vs. You.

Through laughter and sharp reflection, you’ll learn that excellence isn't something that can be stolen, and success isn't something that is "attacked"—it is built. By the time you reach the final chapter, you’ll be ready to fire the committee of excuses and meet the one person actually responsible for your next big breakthrough.
