"Young financier Obi enjoys life in the fast lane in 1990's Lagos. He walks tall in designer suits with his girlfriend at his side, enjoying the envy of those with empty purses." "When his finance company collapses, Obi's decadent lifestyle comes to an abrupt end, and he is forced to flee to the United States. There he has to live on the margins of society. Obi wants money, he wants a woman, and he wants to live the good life." "This fast-paced novel, by turns comic and moving, reveals what success and failure mean for the young Nigerian at home and in exile. Ike Oguine explores the alienation experienced by today's economic refugees under the cover of light-hearted comedy."--BOOK JACKET.
