(STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BEING EDITED)He didn't ask for Japan. He didn't speak the language. He didn't even know what chopsticks were.
Tafadzwa thought life was simple-school, street races with his best friend Maka, and helping Mama at the supermarket.
But one day, everything changes. Without warning, he's on a plane to a country he's only seen in cartoons.
Lost in translation, homesick for sadza, and armed with broken English(because he gets too nervous)
Tafadzwa has to survive new rules, strange people, and a whole new world, where he feels like he doesn't belong.
But what if he does?
From the dusty streets of Mbare to the neon lights of Tokyo-this is the beginning of Tafadzwa's journey.

WHITE HUNTERS (A Nigerian Novel)
"Is it because I'm white?" I paused. Then, I burst out cackling, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

That is until her father's business partner travels from abroad along with his hot as hell son, Anthony Morrison, to land an expensive contract whilst living in Precious' family estate. Every girl in town seems to fall head over heels for this mysterious white man, but where girls see treasure, Precious sees trash and would rather focus on her studies. It seems like a plea for trouble sharing her home with this man for 3 months...how will she survive 👀? **inspired by nollywood movie series 'White Hunters' (I recommend watching lmbo)** 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 💋 🏆🏅🏆 #3 in nigeria #1 in jeremyallenwhite #1 in lagos #33 in awkward

Nyezi Bhengu has built her career and life around being a wife. For years, her identity was tethered to her husband - as the "Real Housewife of Durban", "umfazi kaBafo", and "uNyezi kaSmiso". His sudden death upends Nyezi's life when, bound by isiko lokungenwa, she is forced to marry his older brother, Mnisi. Mnisiwokuhle Bhengu has a personality very few would describe as "lighting up a room". Reserved, and perpetually serious to the point of appearing cold, where Smiso was the life of the party, Mnisi is the brooding figure who leaves just as the fun begins. He wears detachment like armour, keeping himself unapproachable and at a distance from everyone - especially Nyezi. Forced into a union they're both less than glad to find themselves in, will forced proximity be enough to break down the walls Mnisi has so carefully constructed, or will tradition condemn them into a loveless arrangement they cannot escape?![Serendipity [BoyxBoy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/306286372-256-k702153.jpg)

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.

Loving You For 7 Years
Seven years of silent love. Two boys fighting for her heart. One phobia that changes everything. Returning to Lagos, Nigeria after two difficult years away was hard enough for Bella. Now, navigating the drama of high school is even tougher when you're wrestling with autism and a debilitating phobia of touch that keeps the entire world at arm's length. Bella has built walls too high and too thick for anyone to penetrate-anyone, except for one person. That person is Max. Max is the only boy Bella has ever loved, and the only person she allows to break her barrier and offer a comforting hand. But Max sees Bella as his best friend, his safe harbor, and nothing more, leaving Bella trapped in a seven-year-long, agonizing friend-zone as he dates other girls. Enter Max's younger brother, the charismatic, persistent boy who sees the real Bella beneath her tough exterior. He's determined to break through her phobia and show her what true, reciprocal love looks like. As Bella navigates the minefield of high school, forced proximity, and her own deeply-rooted fears, she faces an impossible choice: Will she finally confess her love and win the boy she's devoted seven years to, or will his brother be the one to finally teach her how to let go and feel?
