The Russian Aphrodisiac - Uwem Essia - Bog

The Russian Aphrodisiac is a thrilling love story derived from the delusions of Benson, a young Nigerian fifth-year student of medicine and surgery at the University of Calabar, Nigeria. Five years ago he lost his parents and siblings in a ghastly motor accident. The unfortunate incident got him depressed and may have adversely affected his erectile function and libido. His first love, Mary Omoloye, a second-year BSc Nursing student of the University of Lagos found him too cold for comfort and with the advice of a marriage counselor insisted that they engaged in pre-marital sex to test their sexual compatibility, before informing her parents of their intentions to get married. That didn't happen because Benson met Angel a Russian-born 30-year-old rich and beautiful lady who eloped from Russia through Norway to Nigeria under the guise of a touristic visit to Calabar. Angel believes that President Vladimir Putin killed her father and two brothers, and may kill her also in a bid to wipe out everyone who do not support his attack on Ukraine and other expansionist moves. Angel is begging to spend the rest of her life with Benson.
