About this listen

Remi Coker and Nnamdi Okonkwo leave the shores of Nigeria full of hope in search of greener pastures in London. Remi, from the prestigious Coker family, is expected to return home after finishing her law degree to run the family law firm, and Nnamdi, frustrated by the federal university strikes, plans to escape Nigeria and never return. The story follows their individual journeys of newfound freedom, self-discovery, unexpected turns, and the dilemma of whether to return home or stay in the United Kingdom.

Lagos to London is a heartfelt and masterful telling of the age-old trope of seeking greener pastures abroad with a significantly mesmerizing twist that speaks to a core of Nigerian youth and the issues they face while on the journey to forge their own path in the world. Inspiring all to live your dream and make your mark, whatever your path may be.

The writing ✍ is superb and intricately detailed, so richly descripture. The characters backstory are well researched and portrayed in a way that makes you feel you've know them for ever. There are plots and sub- plots that keep you guessing at the tip of your seat. I'm nearly finishing the book but I don't want it to end, as it brings so much joy, happiness and escape to places I know so well and lived in both Lagos and London and have similar journeys to them. As students with high aspirations facing life struggles needed for that stage of life

Lagos to London is an international literary gem

Quite an entertaining novel that explores the challenges Africans face seeking greener pastures in the West. I found the earlier part of Nnamdi’s life far more compelling and reflective of a painful reality. Worth a read.
