Description
xHow do you survive Nigeria's power cuts, traffic jams and prosperity gospel? Accept that everything is a hustle and nobody is quite who they claim to be. With sharp wit and biting humour, Becoming Nigerian reveals the unspoken rules of Nigerian life.
Written as a satirical survival guide, the book shows readers how to navigate modern Nigeria like a local. Through mock-instructional chapters on everything from power failures to becoming a pastor or a middle-class hustler, it exposes the absurdities, contradictions and everyday frustrations of Nigerian society with both affection and fearless honesty.
Perfect for Nigerians who need to laugh at the chaos, diaspora readers looking for a candid window into home, and anyone curious about life beyond sanitised images of Africa, Becoming Nigerian is a brilliantly observant guide to the country behind the headlines.
