LAGOS BOY
Michael Adewale has three jobs, oil and gas, forex trading, banking, and none of them are real. For fourteen months he's survived on Bolt rides and ghostwritten essays while telling his mother, his uncle, and his fiancée's family whatever version of success keeps the peace. Then a real job offer comes with a real staff photo on a real, searchable website. One by one, his lies start finding each other. A landlord wants his rent. A father-in-law has connections. A mother's pride is built on a lie about to collapse in church. Michael is running out of rooms to hide the truth in.
