When a national strike shuts Nigerian public universities and millions of students return home, where is Joy's brother?
Joy has two parts of the day she never thought could change. Mornings, when She and her flat neighbor Faith would turn the apartment building into a quarrel house, and afternoons, when instead of focusing on her academics, she joins her classmates in making the naïve excellent student's life a living hell.
Her brother Osas says she pushes her insecurities on the poor girl, but Joy prides herself in her self-acclaimed status as a gossip, bully, and mediocre. She would not change that for the world.
That is until she meets Brian, a quiet but calculative boy, who she tutors, but is the one that teaches her a lesson she can never forget.

Come Home, K
Kulthum is going through something. It could be a hormonal shift, another round of her "rebellious teen phase" even though she's now twenty-two, or an identity crisis. Whatever it is, Kulthum has changed. She can feel it, and everyone can see it, but no one can cite a reason for it-including her. When Kulthum comes home from her third unattained university degree, lugging more than suitcases, her parents have had enough. They decide to do what every African parent living in the United Kingdom has once threatened to do. They ship her back home to Nigeria. With a one-way first-class ticket, Kulthum finds herself stranded in the busy city of Lagos, stuck with a family she knows nothing about and surrounded by her culture, which feels completely foreign to her. Her parents hope her year abroad will cause her to have a change of heart...but Kulthum meets a man who might steal it. - - - - First Published September 28th 2024.
