By the time most people my age were still figuring out who they were, I had watched over 200 million naira move through the world around me. I watched it open doors. I watched it change faces the way people smiled, the way they bowed, the way they spoke softer or louder depending on how much of it you carried in your pocket. I watched it make men gods.This book is about what I saw. What I lived. What happened when powerful men in business, in relationships, in family, in society used their position not to lift others up, but to press them down. To take what was not offered. To make the powerless feel small so they could feel tall.
