When army officer Chike Ameobi is ordered to kill innocent civilians, he knows that it is time to leave. As he travels towards Lagos, he becomes the leader of a new platoon, a band of runaways who share his desire for a better life. Their arrival in the city coincides with the eruption of a political scandal. The education minister, Chief Sandayo, has disappeared and is suspected of stealing millions of dollars from government funds.

After an unexpected encounter with the Chief, Chike and his companions must make a choice. Ahmed Bakare, editor of the failing Nigerian Journal, is desperate for information. But perhaps the situation is more complex than it appears....

As moving as it is mesmerising, Welcome to Lagos is a novel about the power of our dreams for the future and the place of morality in a sometimes hostile world.

Great first novel from Chibundu! The characters felt alive and real and truly took me to Lagos. I listened to this book on my way to and from work and often found myself sitting in the car long after I'd arrived at my destination just to hear what happens next. I also appreciated Weruche Opia narration, with the authentic pronunciation of names and places. Great read!

Great story, awesome narrator!
