Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Actors Getting Into Politics

I have noticed that in 2014, there has been a surge of actors getting into politics, this I find bewildering. Taking a leap from the world of acting into the terrain of politics which can be a bit endangering to say the least. The positives of being elected is great; to the masses what will this signify?


If the old politicians with years of experience and exposure can not fix Nigeria at 54, will the actors fix it??? Electing a former actor to work as a politician is a bit trick, when can one differentiate between the lines of being taken seriously as a leader and  acting a role to the people's dissatisfaction? 


In some countries this feat is possible and in Nigeria, this will be a big feat to accomplish with reference to the state of affairs as at present.

Which profession do you think is worthy of being taken seriously as a politician to bring about great change? Please comment.
