Nearly All Women in Lagos Are Beggars

Have you ever been a victim of billing?

In Lagos, romance comes with a subscription fee. Love and bills now speak the exact same language. Nearly All Women in Lagos Are Beggars is a raw, zero filter look at how transactional dating really is in this city.

From the trap of the "Urgent 2K" text and the setup behind "Have you eaten?", to the fake lifestyles pushed in Lekki clubs and Mainland churches, this book tracks how money and feelings actually move. It strips away the nonsense to show the WhatsApp formats and the sad reality of the dating scene. Women are selling their youth and attention, and men are buying an ego boost.

You will recognize the people in this book. You might actually be one of them.

Carmen B. Timi is what happens when someone decides to say the things most people are afraid to say. Carmen works in Lekki and lives in Ikorodu, just in case you want to come and beat me. Depending on which chapter you just finished, you might think Carmen is a bitter ex, a hypocritical baddie, or a recovering sponsor. All of those are fine, as long as you leave a review.
