About The Nigerian in me by JD
When sixteen-year-old Eniola is uprooted from her vibrant life in Lagos and dropped into a posh British boarding school, she thinks she’s ready for anything. Armed with jollof rice, her father’s voice in her head, and enough Naija sarcasm to survive a civil war, she’s determined not to lose herself.
But survival in this new world isn’t just about dodging British slang or confusing cafeteria food. Between decoding fake friendships, dodging bullies, and dealing with a certain infuriatingly charming boy named Zachariah Hamilton, Eniola finds herself torn between blending in and standing tall.
Full of humor, heart, and home training, The Nigerian in Me is a laugh-out-loud, coming-of-age tale about culture shock, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to be unapologetically yourself—even when it’s hard.
