I love the cover. Lol, our people love being in weddings as it’s a way to be seen and potentially meet a spouse

I agree. The cover is nice. You know us Nigerians, we love our parties, ha ha ha. And yes, it’s a good hunting ground for a spouse.

I like this review, atleast I won’t buy the book expecting to have a laugh. I find it difficult calling a book hilarious as we all see humour differently. ” I do not come to you by chance” by Adaobi Nwaubani was funny to me but that may be because I’m Igbo and could totally relate with her story.
I really enjoy these audio reviews; please keep them coming.

Thanks, Nonie. I agree about different people finding different things funny. I’ve read I do not Come to you by Chance and it was an enjoyable read. Don’t remember it being hilarious. I think I’ll need to read it again so we can do a review for the blog. Incidentally, I read a funny story in Fresh Air and other Stories by Reward Nsirim which made me burst out laughing. It’s a short story collection and we will review it on Monday, August 6. Glad you enjoy the audio reviews, we’ll certainly keep them coming. Cheers.

Though this story was dealing with serious issues, Reward narrates it wittily which keeps you entertained whilst not downplaying the weight of the issues discussed. The abrupt way the story ended without too much exposition was laugh out loud funny. (Recall that Lady B said she was searching for a hilarious book by a Nigerian author or publisher in her audio review of Memoirs of a Professional Bridesmaid). […]
