I found that the book examines history, and even more intriguingly, it focuses on the unique history of **Nigeria**. This aspect greatly heightened my interest and motivates me to read the book.

I was genuinely curious about what the author had in mind, as writing about the history of a nation is no easy task. In the end, I was truly impressed by how it was handled.

Previously, I have heard a lot about Nigeria and as I saw the book and the description, I decided to give it a try. Also, the cover of the book was attractive and it was one of the things that drew me to the book.

I will love to read this book because of the cover. I’m a fan of historical books. And this is not not a random historical book, it’s a historical book about Nigeria. So I definitely want to read it.

The major reason that made me want to read this book is its setting: Lagos, Nigeria. I'm Nigerian, and it was fascinating reading about some familiar places and how they were in that time period through the author's eyes. It was also great reading about our political history from someone who experienced it firsthand.

I read this book because of the title. The title was captivating for me and it drew me to find out about the plot. It then felt like something I would enjoy so I read the book, online, and enjoyed it. If I could find the book on OBC, I'd have loved to drop a review on it.

I'd say the description. It is a sort of non-fiction told in an adventurous way with a rich background of history and a superb list of characters.

The title is so interesting and the book and the idea itself sounds so good. The map, focusing on the lesser known African continent gives it a mysterious aura. Therefore, I really wanted to read this book.
There are few things in life that can make me as happy as oily foods.
