Chile….nearly all the men in Lagos are mad
Omg! This book is hilarious and full of wahala men! I really enjoyed these short stories about men and how they have left women feeling vulnerable, stupid, and full of hate.

I loved this short story collection - full of wit but also casts a glaring eye on modern relationships in Nigeria and how these are complicated by traditionalism and sexism.

the stories are commonly known/talked about, so they were familiar, but i could not generate interest in the stories for some reason. the characters were not of interest to me, and in fact frequently irritated me. i stopped after the third story. i meant to read the bum bum book and got this instead. hopeful for the bb book.

loved it, have never really read short stories but i think it might be my thing. when reading this i think its better to not read the stories one after another and let them sit with you and marrinate. Loved how each story had a different way of telling with the pov and tenses. I think the one that made the biggest impression was the first story with its future tense maybe that was because it was the first story and like i didnt know what to expect but it definitely grabbed me in and made me want to read more. i did however didnt love the ending in the sense that like because im so used to books having a conclusion i thought the last story would also sort of end like that but the way he last story ended was like very abrubt and while i love that in eneral i didnt think that was the best endingof a story for the end of a book however i think that story being the last one was a good choice.
