Welcome to Lagos, where the traffic is biblical, the rent is demonic, and the love stories? Very much sponsored by confusion.
Chronicles of a Lagos Baddie follows the hilarious, heart-wrenching, and hella relatable life of one twenty-something navigating the streets of Lagos with a full face beat and a heart that's still healing. From shut-up proposals that turned into emotional hostage situations to solo dates that spark unexpected sparks, she's figuring it out, one episode (and one fried plantain) at a time.
There are HR managers who act like they're auditioning for hell. Exes who text "weather for two" during thunderstorms. Gen fixers who charge 20k to say "your oil is leaking." And always, the looming threat of moving to Ikorodu.
Told in punchy episodes packed with Nigerian humour, side-eye wisdom, and late-night spiral energy, this book is for every baddie who's ever tried to block her ex, dodge her landlord, and still show up soft and fine on Monday.
Whether she's whispering affirmations to her ceiling fan or rethinking love mid-sermon, this Lagos baddie is doing what all of us are trying to do: survive, thrive, and maybe - just maybe - find a love that feels like peace, not puzzles.
