About This Author
Mutiat Adeoshun writes naughty poems and letters of love. She is an unknown Nigerian multi-talented artist and a comedian, known by her nickname "Eranko" (meaning Animal), on popular Nigerian blog, NaijaGist due to her flirty and naughty comments and write-ups and because she is someone who enjoys poking her nose in every current issue around the world, and looking through the key holes to know what the couples are doing or saying in secret.
She says, when I came to London, I was surrounded by my relatives and friends who used to downgrade me all the time, just because I started my journey in London as an early morning cleaner, and did all sort of odd jobs.
One of my friends who had a good job mocked me and called me dull-head. Some would say, have you been to your early morning, or have you been to Camden/Islington today to clear out old people’s commodes and wash their bottom?
She says, I smile through it all, because I know that I can do more than being a cleaner, or care worker. Some friends even laughed at my legs and my teeth.
They say, my nose is not straight enough and my lips are too thin. But I know that I am pulchritudinous and salacious. I am like a Japanese chihuahua.
I was given all sort of names such as uneducated, dropout, primitive, and gossip. Some people called me madam F9, and say to me I went to an under-bridge college.
I grew up in pain, which made me think about life crisis. So, I decided to set out to know what other people are going through in their lives.
I went round town to interview couples, to know what they are doing to each other in secret. Some of the stories in this book are true.
