Read the opening

From chapter 1, "The Best Flatmates in Lagos". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Thursday, 9:15pm. The Car Park Sessions. Dele leans on a lamp post and speaks quietly.

Dele was forty, an IT manager, tidy, reliable, and married to Chioma for twelve years. Two children. A mortgage. A shared calendar app, colour-coded.

"We are good together," he said. "We never fight. We pay bills on time. We take turns on school runs. But somewhere along the way, we stopped being lovers. We became colleagues. Very good colleagues."

"When did you last go on a date?" asked Jide.

Dele thought. And thought. "Does parents' evening count?"
