Description

Now with a brand-new story. In this expanded edition, Damilare Kuku paints a vivid portrait of the dating scene in Nigeria’s megacity. Unforgettable characters—from the charmingly delusional to the downright toxic—each story pulls back the curtain on love, lust, heartbreak, trauma, and survival. This collection is a riotous, raw, and revealing journey through the chaos that is Lagos relationships.
With sharp dialogue and innuendos, Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad is both hilarious and heartbreakingly real—a tribute to female resilience and a cautionary tale about what happens when romance meets chaos.
From the infamous Gay Wives Association to a knife-wielding spouse of an egoistic man and even Desperate whose way out of penury involves living off his baby mamas, these stories will have you laughing, gasping, and enthralled. It’s an unfiltered take on women whose encounters with Lagos men have left them in utter despair—but still alive to tell the tale.
