Living in Gidi is a collection of experiences from the lives of regular Nigerians who live in Lagos (Gidi). It follows the accounts on the streets, providing insight into this intrigue that is a city. It is written with a lot less seriousness, an irony Lagos would rather I avoided—if it could object. But I can’t make life any tougher than it is for Gidi folks, so these accounts are painted with a brush dipped in a gourd of humor. The book can only hope to be as interesting as the city is.
