Stranger in Lagos by Sally Kenneth Dadzie
Halim Diobi is set to marry Eben Nosakhare, the perfect picture of a dream husband. Their wedding promises to be the talk of the town, and all their plans seem to fall in place. Eniola Adeoye has plans of her own as well, centred on Eben Nosakhare and finding a new beginning in Lagos. Things don’t go quite as intended for all three, as unexpected curves ahead get in the way of their goals and leave them facing new realities in Lagos. They become strangers to each other, even though they are so close. Stranger In Lagos is not your typical love story; neither does it follow the path of the usual Lagos story. Sally Kenneth Dadzie tells an enthralling and gripping tale of four young people, living their best lives and struggling with ghosts from the past in the city of vermin and lost souls. Read Now
A Cluster of Petals by Oluwaseyi Adebola
A Cluster of Petals is an eclectic mix of short stories that are as brilliant as they are varied. These stories have been written over a span of about a decade and a half and capture the literary growth of the author as well as the timelessness of words and tales. ‘Two right hands’ is the story of a child who has a conversation with his hands. Like the latter story, ‘The Letter My Shoe Sent Me’; it provokes the reader to question what will be heard when the voiceless are able to speak. ‘Madiba’s Mole’ also tows this line, with a fictional monologue of a mole on Nelson Mandela’s face against a backdrop of xenophobic attacks. ‘7 days’ is set in a boarding school in Lagos at a time when senior students were gods and masters to juniors. It is the witty and charming tale of a youngster navigating adolescence and a prophecy in which he is both the lead character and victim. ‘The Mysterious Matter of Mallam Musa’s Missing Murano’ is the award-winning whodunit story of a man whose prize possession goes missing and everyone is a suspect. It is sardonic, funny and laced with a blend of Northern Nigerian Culture. ‘How to be A Maga’ is based on the true-life experience of the author and outlines the three basic things you need to get scammed. This book has a story for everyone and was shortlisted for the 2019 Quramo Writers Prize and the 2019 AFIRE Linda Ikeji Prize for Literature Read Now
