Congratulations to Olaoluwa Oni on the debut of her novel, The yNBA. Typically, I wouldn't pick up this book because I'm not a fan of "Nigerian lawyer speak" but I enjoyed the tea that was served in this novel. I also like how authentic the language is, the fact that the pidgin wasn't italicised is a plus. The dialogue was relatable and engaging, it's a good story.

That said, the literature student in me cringed at two things; the over descriptions and character development or lack of. They felt more like stereotypes than characters and the descriptions of the characters' actions or quirks made it read like she was trying to dummy-proof the novel. If you're interested in a "fly on the wall" expose on the Nigerian legal happenings, you should read this book.
