“Nigerians love to laugh. Nigerians need to demystify leadership and the whole concept of BigManism”, said writer Tolu Ogunlesi. “It’s great and exciting to be part of a team combining the love and the need. Maybe somehow, just maybe, it will make our country a little less dysfunctional.”Written by Tolu Ogunlesi, Niyi Ademoye and Numero Unoma, OGAS AT THE TOP takes an unflinching and hilarious look at Nigeria’s political elite and the other ogas ruling contemporary naija society.
