Where absurdity meets survival—stories from a country caught between faith and hustle.
When faith becomes a billionnaira empire, who pays the price? Ifenna, a dogged investigative journalist, loses everything after exposing a suspicious death at Nigeria’s largest cathedral. Pastor Nick rules Heaven’s Gate—a glittering megachurch built on prosperity gospel—and his wife, Nkechi, discovers infidelity and the shady funds behind their meteoric rise. As allegations explode online, three lives collide in a highstakes battle for truth, power, and survival.
Believers and Hustlers is Nigerian literary fiction with the pace of an investigative journalist thriller and the psychological pull of social realism fiction. Set in contemporary Lagos, this African contemporary fiction novel explores religious corruption, spiritual abuse, and the precarious ethics of journalism in a society where truth is dangerous.
