A review by amakaazie
Welcome to Lagos by Chibundu Onuzo
5.0
I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Well written with very believable imagery and dialogue. Almost like I was catapulted back to Lagos.
This is a cleverly crafted tale about 5 strangers who escaped from their lives in Niger Delta and moved to Lagos to start over. Although there were many characters and POV ( I usually hate that in books), they were relatable and I got attached to each of themβ their struggles in Lagos, and the solidarity they shared.
We are also introduced to Chief Sandayo, a disgraced politician who escapes from Abuja, and Ahmed, a journalist with a point to prove. If youβve ever lived in Lagos, or want to visit, this story will either make you smile or frighten the hell out of you.
Well deserved 5 stars! ππ½ππ½ππ½
