the diary of a desperate naija woman
The Diary of A Desperate Naija Woman is really just a collection of the random musings of a working Nigerian woman, wife and mother who is desperate to be like Christ. True, like any other woman, she desires many other things but for her, being a true woman of God is the main purpose of her life. Every other thing flows out from this high calling. As you travel through the pages of this book, you may not find Aristotle-like profoundness nor would you be startled by any similarities the writing style bears to that of Chimamanda Adichie or Maya Angelou. But hopefully you will laugh a little, cry a little or maybe just get mad a little. At the end of the day, all DNW wishes is that, as you share a year's worth of daily experiences with her, she manages in some tiny way to infect you with her special brand of 'desperado-ness'

Vincent has a great wife and wonderful daughters but there seems to be a problem, a problem apparently known to him alone because despite Aniema’s efforts to be a good wife and mother, her husband appears to manufacture reasons to brutalize her. One day Vincent goes too far and the impact is felt by everyone that is dear to him. Lives are shattered and lessons are learnt the hard way. However, though frail, ever so resilient hope does not abandon them. This short story reeducates our minds on issues pertaining to domestic violence, as well as reaffirms the relevance of the girl child against the backdrop of perception in some quarters that the male child is superior.
