Memoirs of a Lagos Taxi Driver

Memoirs of a Lagos Taxi Driver is a collection of funny, fast paced and engaging short stories written by Africa's Flash Fiction Queen, Tolulope Popoola.

Lagos, the city where the roads are wild, the traffic is merciless, and every ride is an adventure waiting to happen.

Meet Oladipupo, or Ladi for short, an ex-banker turned ride-hailing driver, navigating the unpredictable streets of Nigeria's most chaotic city. Armed with his trusty Toyota Corolla, a playlist of afrobeats hits, and an unshakable sense of humour, Ladi picks up passengers from every corner of Lagos, from club-hopping influencers to suspicious businessmen, dramatic lovers, and pastors determined to save his soul.

Each trip is a new story. Each passenger is a new mystery. And in a city where anything can happen, Ladi has learned to expect the unexpected.

Witty, fast-paced, and full of laugh-out-loud moments, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ever been stuck in Lagos traffic, had a bizarre taxi experience, or simply loves a good story about the everyday madness of city life.
