About ‘Hello, Vagina’ from reviewers;
ThisDay has this to say about the novel: ‘Through the story, the author beams the light on the roles played by the religious leaders, judiciary, police and others who should hold the perpetrators of such crimes accountable. The ‘bromance’ between Fred, the judge, and Teejay has been instrumental to his escape from the long arm of the law for many years. The closing poetry by the protagonist, titled “Hello Vagina” questions the rationale behind rape, sexual harassments, and the porn culture that have made women be seen and treated as mere sex objects at work, at school, in their places of worship, and almost anywhere outside their mother’s wombs.’
Business Day writes of Hello, Vagina: ‘Sometimes, you come upon a book that is written with one express intention: to shock. That is precisely what Odega Shawa has hit us within Hello, Vagina. From the title to the acknowledgments, to the way the story weaves and races its way from the nooks and crannies of Ajegunle to the cellblocks of Ikoyi prison, and from the battlefields and dreamscapes of her phantasy world to the tortured mind of a psychopath killer with (almost) enough money to make his crimes, or the evidence thereof, vanish permanently, this story is crafted to shock and inform you at every turn.’
One of Africa’s leading bloggers and billionaire philanthropist Linda Ikeji describes it as a ‘brilliant and heartbreaking story’.
