Lola Shoneyin’s bestselling novel, The Secret Lives Of Baba Segi’s Wives, will be taking over theatres in Lagos from 28th October to 11 November 2018.

The Secret Lives Of Baba Segi’s Wives is a scandalous and engrossing tale of sexual politics and family strife in modern-day Nigeria. The story follows Baba Segi and the happenings in his household, and could easily rank as one of the best books out of Nigeria!

In one fell swoop, Lola Shoneyin touches on several social issues — from polygamy to sexuality to sexual assault — and she never drops the ball. Beyond that, the story is hilarious in its delivery, and the message is still clear and poignant.
