Sixty Percent of a True Story

By Osisiye Tafa

'Sixty Percent of a True Story' is a window into the different realities of three undergraduates. Osisiye arrives the University of Lagos on a windy morning with dreams of high grades but must explore the fleshpots of the city, freedom of the campus and spiritual diversity of the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria. Will he find a balance soon enough and will his dalliances with drugs, women and new friends be his undoing? The story moves on to Korede, a depressive introvert. He takes one through the vagaries of growing up as 'different' in a society that sees things in black and white and does not forgive men who do not act as men. Chris is a staple in Nigeria's urban lore, the internet fraudster. Through his eyes, we understand the various motivations for this career choice and explore the process that births such deception.The story weaves through three Nigerian states, a university, a presidential campaign, the fleshpots of Lagos and startling personal choices to an unpredictable end.
