Lagos, Life and Sexual Distraction

Lagos, Life and Sexual Distraction is a collection of 12 short stories, mostly focused on the distinct character of life in Lagos--the commercial capital of Nigeria--but with two stories dedicated to the very different plight of people living in northern Nigeria, which suffers attacks from the Islamist insurgency Boko Haram. The book attempts to teleport the reader to Africa, to experience what an average Nigerian does to keep his or her dreams, hopes and aspirations alive. It also shows the tensions that exist between the generations, between the sexes and between different social classes and ethnicities.
