About the Book

The Diary of a Desperate Naija Woman™ in the Year 20-Ten is the second in the ‘The Diary’ series published by Bola Essien-Nelson. This book, just like the first – The Diary of a Desperate Naija Woman in the Year Two Thousand and 9—is a collection of daily blogs that capture, in a very random way, the thoughts, musings and sometimes the ‘mad rants’ of a Nigerian working woman, wife and mother who desperately wants to be like her Saviour-Brother-Friend, Jesus Christ. As you flip the pages, you will travel with Bola on a year long journey across 2010 during which she tries to keep all the balls of her life up in the air AND fulfill her most passionate goal – To be an authentic Christian. This book you hold in your hand is an open invitation to all who read it to join her on this truly life-changing quest.
