About this audiobook
Ekiti to London follows Tunde, a brilliant but naive boy from the rolling hills of Iyin-Ekiti, whose obsession with the "Queen’s English" and his British teacher’s lessons fuels a desperate dream of studying in the UK. Armed with a suitcase held together by prayer and his favorite Dickens novel, Tunde flees the cocoa farms for the chaotic belly of Lagos.
In the city, he falls in with a "travel clique" led by a silver-tongued scammer who convinces him that the only way to London is through a "back door" in Ghana. What follows is a humorous, heart-wrenching odyssey through border shuffles, fake passports, and the harsh realization that shortcuts are often circles. To find his "silver river," Tunde must choose between arriving in London as a lie or returning to his roots to find a truth worth telling. A soulful, humanized tale of ambition, identity, and the distance between a village boy and his dreams.
