A collection of short oral stories meant to be read aloud to a group, for humorous reasons. The plot is a constant parody of literary and world events with elements of magic, grit, and adversity thrown in for good measure. It will make you laugh, it will make you think, but don't think too hard, as it is meant to be a farce and funny. Originally written 2010-2013 for use in regularly scheduled gatherings of friends, this is the collection of all those oratories in their flawed splendor.

Be(com)ing Nigerian: A Guide is a satirical collection that takes a searing look at how different forms of power are abused, negotiated, and performed both in the private and public realm.

From the exploration of religious hypocrisy in How to Worship the Nigerian God, to A Letter to My Future Kidnapper, the collection is a jab at Nigerian society and what it means to be a Nigerian.

And he’s about to be fired for accidentally publishing his own obituary one mildly drunken night (though technically the company can’t legally fire a dead person).
