Artwork by Nychole Owens. I honestly was never good at describing my stories but if you're looking for a story with a chirpy theme, you might as well close this and read something else. This is a story about a teenage Nigerian girl and how her life turned upside down, it's a story of sorrow, grief and hope. So, will her life turn right side up? Will she finally find happiness? Will she finally be able to look in the mirror with pride? Frankly, I don't know, so let's begin our journey, hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I will be updating this story regularly with parts.

She asked her friend as Jumoke's eyes fixated on the laptop in front of her.

18+ only! 🔥🔥🔥 | Toyin was living her best life! She had the perfect job with an Oil Major, amazing friends, a suitor and a fabulous apartment with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Life was good until an unexpected breakup led her to the hot but NFA (No Future Ambition) Osaze. An odd pairing which helps her discover herself nonetheless. 🌴 Osaze didn't know what he was doing with his life anymore. He spontaneously quit his dream job as a top programmer with Google 3 years ago, moved back to Nigeria to start up his own tech company but failed miserably, was swindled out of his own code by ruthless business partners and is left with a million dollar debt to pay back to his investors. He now squats with a childhood friend in a dilapidated mansion (which is on the market by the way) and drinks his failure away in Lagos bars. When he meets Toyin, a young high flying oil & gas exec who has her own life together he starts to reevaluate his whole existence.

~~~~(Mature)~~~~ "We're worlds apart..." "But I'm right here." "I'm far, farrrrrrrrrr far beneath your class..." "And so? I don't care." He shrugged. "You're fucking engaged!" I rubbed away the tears, scrubbing the edge of my sweater on my sore skin.

The Wrong Crowd [Wattys 2020]
A NIGERIAN THEMED NOVEL "You have got your tities out and panties in a twist but your crush doesn't still notice you." Ore is a sixteen-year-old undergraduate of the university of Portharcourt. Before she entered year one, she was that shy, reclusive and sweet girl everyone wanted to be friends with. But as soon as she pays her acceptance fee and moves her things to the school hostel, Ore is no longer that miss goody two shoes. Dami is a third year student of the same university and he doesn't give two fucks about under age girls. They were never a center of attraction for him. Infact, he loathes them with passion. Dami is absolutely content with his sexually provocative lifestyle and he certainly doesn't need any of the problems that comes along with knowing Ore. With the wrong crowd cheering Ore on, will she be able to get Dami's attention? Or will her life keep on revolving in circles of endless passion and peer pressure. Side note: The sequel to this book titled Lies, Love and Deception is out now and is on my profile. Kindly go view, thanks ❤️ *. * . * The Wrong Crowd is one of the best Nigerian books I've ever read. It's totally uncliche and cliche in a hazy interesting way but then, it was just the tip of the iceberg - @Semiloore_ Started: 10/3/20 Ended: 25/5/20Complete

Now a sixteen years old, Who's never thought about having a boyfriend, Sleepovers and movie nights. She isn't by any chance your regular teen, Maybe her not so bubbly self would fit right in in Lagos, Maybe Nigeria will make her whole. Maybe.Complete
