A young banker receives a call from the area head, asking him to open a banking subsidiary in Africa. With no prior experience in either Africa or banking, he faces numerous challenges. At 27, the author shares his journey in this engaging autobiography filled with anecdotes, humor, and mishaps. He recounts how a Nigerian TV series enables him to close money-market deals without a phone and how he navigates the complexities of a Juju-curse. His experiences in Nigeria are thrilling yet perilous; he narrowly escapes a robbery and confronts the harsh realities of poverty, poor hygiene, and inadequate healthcare. Critics praise the author’s entertaining style, which immerses readers in the Nigerian setting and the bank's establishment. He tackles problems with unconventional solutions, encountering Juju curses, tribal warriors, and local medicine men along the way. His narrative is enriched with insights about the country and its people, making for an exotic, suspenseful, and educational read.
