7 | |
8 | * BerserkButton: Try to hurt Ike's brother, Dr. Joseph Orji, and he will destroy you. |
9 | * {{Bulungi}}: Completely averted. Nigeria really exists, and it is described in great detail in the novel. This might be because the author himself is from Nigeria. |
10 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Raven's death.]] He was shot, had his neck broken and was dismembered. Ike even mentions that this is the cruelest, most barbaric murder he has ever witnessed. |
11 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: The police in Lagos will arrest you if you are at a crime scene, even if you try to help a victim. |
12 | * OneManArmy: Ike is described as this several times. |
13 | * WretchedHive: Lagos comes across as this. The city is chaotic, full of armed robbers and beggars and the police is corrupt and will arrive at a crime scene hours after they have been called. |
