The Nigerian young adult manual
God doesn’t make mistakes, at all. And Nigerians are proof of it.

A comprehensive guide on how to act straight
I’m well too, just that I’ve been ruminating over what you said the last time we talked: “I’m on WikiHow reading an article on straight-acting.” I vowed not to reply until I found you some help.
