I really enjoyed this book. A story about Abel a quiet and introverted lecturer forced to leave his mundane life in Asaba when his brother, Soni, a wealthy Lagos thug goes missing.
Soon he is immersed in the hustle of Lagos and finds himself doing and saying things he previously found repulsive—things he condemned his brother for. He pretty much turns into his brother.
It is well written, witty and downright hilarious sometimes.

I definitely recommend!
