LAGOS IS OVERRATED
Lagos Is Overrated is a memoir written by one of Nigeria’s finest writers, Soul’e Rhymez. In the book, Soul’e Rhymez exposes many reasons why living in Lagos is overrated. He backed his reasons with real-life events and experiences.
In the book, the author explains how he achieved his childhood dream of living in Lagos, how hard it was for him to find a place to live when he arrived in Lagos, and the lessons he learned from seeing that none of his family members could take him in because they were not rich enough to do so, even though many of them have lived in Lagos for more than 15 years.
He talks about the decisions that shaped his existence in Lagos for the past 16 years.
He also exposed the reason why people spend most of their lives in Lagos and return to their villages at old age with nothing to show for their years in Lagos.
According to the author, Lagos often allows people to choose between poverty and riches within their first two years in Lagos, but many people choose poverty without knowing they did.
The book exposes the hidden truth about living in Lagos: its good, bad, and ugly sides. Soul’e Rhymez reveals that many people living in Lagos would have fared better in their towns and villages than in the city.
Lagos is Overrated is a book that everyone who wishes to succeed in life must read because it is not about Lagos but about life, choices, decisions, and their consequences.
The book will be launched for the first time on Wednesday, June 27th, 2025
