No Be from Hia follows the story of two cousins, Maggie and Bupe, who are on opposite sides of the world yet are bound by their yearning to see their disbanded family unite once more. From Zambian-Nigerian to Zambian-Jamaican backgrounds, Maggie and Bupe could not be more different.

Bupe's move from Brixton to attend secondary school in Zambia brings both light and disorder to Maggie's life. As they navigate their connection, they are surrounded by the dark secrets of their family, such as the mysterious death of their late grandmother and the unresolved absence of Maggie’s Nigerian father.

The narrative weaves through the intense atmosphere of the Brixton riots, the historical multi-party elections in Zambia, and the elaborate Independence Day celebrations in Lagos. No Be from Hia is a heart-warming story that vividly captures the essence of postcolonial Africa and the ongoing legacy of 20th Century migration.
