Ginika came to Nigeria for her best friend's wedding. She'd hope to get it done with and return to Princeton. She hated all the stress that comes with Lagos - all the Yoruba demon and Lagos men in general irks her. She's given up, and prays she'll find her own white husband one day.
Little did she know, that she'll fall head over heels with a proper Lagos boy.
***********
Chike, the proper Lagos boy, tall dark and handsome, drives a BM, stays on the island, owns a Tech firm.
He's not the boo of the booless, but it would have been better if he was.
He's never been serious with a woman, never dated one for more than a month. He didn't share the belief that a man should be with one woman forever. Commitment just wasn't his thing. And Love? Love cost a thing, he always say. "And I'm too broke to afford it"
******
The wedding will bring them together, but is it strong enough to bring them together for life?
