Will Ezinne ever go on a date with Chibuzor, Segun's answer to Cristiano Ronaldo? Will Oladayo always be bullied by Benjamin, the corrupt politician's son? Will Musa's friends Maryam and Kabiru survive Boko Haram's attack on their village?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe life of the underprivileged is always desperate and provisional, whether in urban Lagos or in the countryside in northern Nigeria. In this energetic collection of twelve short stories, Tunde Ososanya exposes the challenges of daily life and the efforts of ordinary people to aspire in the face of overwhelming odds.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are distractions. Humour is one, observed in the audacity of conmen who ride the yellow danfo buses. Magic is another, in the spirit world that Mr Benson asks his Literature-in-English students to write about. But the most immediate is always sex, the ultimate escape.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTwelve stories about invisible heroes, each fighting the tragedy of modern Nigeria in their own way.","brand":"EnvelopeBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53728625623382,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781915023100_1.jpg?v=1781776780","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ososanya-tunde-lagos-life-and-sexual-distraction-9781915023100","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
