And Then He Sang a Lullaby is a courageous, lyrical debut novel by Nigerian writer Ani Kayode Somtochukwu, tracing the heart-rending journey of two young men determined to love in a world where their very existence is criminalized.
✨ The novel centers on August, a reserved, straight-passing university athlete, and Segun, an openly gay student with firm convictions and guarded emotions. Despite their different approaches to identity, they are drawn to each other at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
✨ When Nigeria’s Same Sex (Marriage) Prohibition Act is passed, August and Segun find themselves in an increasingly dangerous environment—one that tests their resolve, identity, and courage.
✨ Through arrests, rejection, and violence, they find glimmers of hope and compassion in each other’s arms and in unexpected allies.
✨ This is not just a story of romance—it's a powerful reckoning with the political, social, and familial realities that queer people in Nigeria must navigate every day.
