Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.

I Swear I'm Not Gay, I Was Only Lying

7 parts Ongoing

Irekan is in trouble. He likes a boy, and the problem isn't that the boy likes him back-the problem is he's not supposed to be gay. Moving to Nigeria was supposed to be his blank slate, a chance to successfully pray the gay away. But he failed, and things only go downhill from here. Life was never going to be easy for Irekan-he's Nigerian, and that's already minus one on his good life bingo card. But with exams around the corner and Nosa smiling at him like he created the firmaments, he doesn't really have time for riots and parental abuse. Yet, he finds himself swept up in the whirlwind of police brutality protests, his parents are scheming, and everyone thinks he's some kind of martyr when he just wants to be in love in peace. With academic pressure mounting, the threat of his family moving back abroad, and one heck of a secret romance, Irekan is forced to choose between those who see him for who he truly is and living a lie. [☺︎︎ This is a sequel to Serendipity ☺︎︎ Nigerian, queer story ☺︎︎ This book contains multiple phrases in pidgin English. Feel free to comment if you don't understand anything.]
