I recently requested that my book, ‘Walking On Eggshells’ should be reviewed by the folks at Okada Books for the Literally What’s Hot column on bellanaija.com, one of Nigeria’s most popular websites.
You can read the review here.
Aside from misspelling my name somewhere and me disagreeing with a point or two, I enjoyed the honesty of the review. Please read the review and buy the book as well so you can form your own opinions!

What are your social media rules? I wrote an article about mine for Genevieve Magazine Nigeria which you can read here.
One of my rules is that if I do not like a YouTube video, I just close the page, instead of ‘disliking’ it or leaving nasty comments.
Please share your rules for using social media in the comments section!
