This week we're in Lagos, and honestly… the title says it all. 😅Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad by Damilare Kuku is a collection of 12 short stories — part love letter, part case study — following women navigating the wild, dramatic, and sometimes heartbreaking world of dating in Africa's most chaotic city.

Which ones had us clutching our chests? Did we think all the men deserved their fate? (Mostly yes. 😂) And is the title actually accurate or do the women have their own madness too?We're also talking about the explicit content warning (yes, this book comes with some heat 🌶️), whether the short story format worked for us, and that first line of the book that immediately let us know we were in for a ride.If you've ever survived Lagos dating or just love sharp, witty African fiction — pull up a chair.

Sn2 Book 1: Yinka, Where is your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

This week, we're diving into Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn and oh, did we have THOUGHTS. 😄 Meet Yinka: 31, career-driven, British-Nigerian, and perpetually single — at least according to her mum and every auntie within a five-mile radius. When her cousin gets engaged, Yinka launches "Operation Find A Date for Rachel's Wedding," and things get messy, hilarious, and surprisingly moving very quickly. We talked about the family pressure, the cultural dynamics, the cringeworthy moments we all low-key related to, and whether Yinka's real journey was ever really about finding a man at all. Spoiler: it wasn't. 💛 This one had us laughing, cringing, and rooting hard for a character who's just trying to figure herself out while everyone around her has decided they know better. If you've ever had someone publicly pray for your love life, this book is for you. As always, we'd love to hear what YOU thought — drop your opinions in the comments below!
