Purchase options and add-ons

A sparkling satire on international aid and celebrity, Looking for Bono charts one man’s accidental quest to bring water his community.

Baba is a semi-literate man living a simple life centred on the local auto repair shop in Palemo, how he will find his next meal and an obsession with his disinterested, Nollywood star-wannabe wife Munira and her voluptuous body. Baba is acutely aware of the water corruption that has left him, on occasion, without so much as a drop to even brush his teeth. One day on the news, a story about international humanitarian Bono flashes onscreen. Bono is in Africa to do good and like a thunderbolt, Baba decides that Bono is the answer to all of his problems. Once Bono hears about the local water issues he will want to step in and convince the president of Nigeria to end the corruption. Once the water is flowing, Baba can clean up and Munira will set her sights a little closer to home. Before he knows it, Baba is a celebrity being feted by the Lagos media and Munira has turned into his virtuous wife.

Will the ensuing media storm engulf Baba as he is launched into a world of high stakes foreign aid dealings and competing interests? Or will he return to his simple life with water for his community and the renewed affections of his Munira?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Looking for Bono may seem like a novel full of hijinks: there’s a scene involving a domestic helper which is straight out of a Carry On film... However it goes much deeper. Other than the theme of media manipulation, the book also focuses on abuse, corruption and social class." ― Robert Pisani, The Bobsphere Blog

Review

"A marvellous romp of a book. You swing between rooting for and rooting against the farting, burping, belching anti-hero Baba, as he sets off on his quest to find Bono and by doing so, rescue his neighbourhood. I laughed out loud several times." ―Chibundu Onuzo

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, brilliant characters, eye-opening, a great read!

I read Abidemi’s first book, Eyo, a year ago, and I loved it - a powerful read. This book is just as eye-opening but written in a different style- funny, wonderful lively characters, brings the world to life. and a page turning plot... will Baba meet Bono with so many people with vested interests? There are so many cheeky twists as he tries to complete his journey ... whether he wants to be on it anymore or not! I know Abidemi, and whilst I tend to prefer books with a bit more grit like her first, I really really loved this more light heartened yet observant take on Nigeria and the human rights world (as someone who worked for the UN ... it rang true!)
