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. Serial cheaters, mummy's boys, men living double lives, and everything in between. Lagos really said no dull moments.We had A LOT to say. Which stories had us cackling? 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. This one's for you.Drop your thoughts in the comments especially if you've read it. We want to know which story hit hardest! 👇
