This book is a little slow on the uptake but then turns into a Nigerian version of Eastenders... i want to say it is more of a 3.5 because I skimmed a lot of parts that dragged on a little.

What I loved most ...the conversations between the women in the hair salon...

“ she will be a doctor before the stiff soldiers get her. Not that the world will end if they get her first and then she’ll become a doctor. At least we thank God doesn’t kill people.”

“ but this god ..is a great god-o. You know when that thing is asleep, just soft like that, you can disrespect it anyhow. But once it stands like this? Hard like that? I just want to thank the God that made it that way”

“ it is that hardness gives it value and honour, o jare “

“Abi? What do we want to do with a soft pestle? Can it pound yam?”


Innuendos galore lol!! :)
