  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.

A Cheap Wedding: Is It The Key To A Successful Marriage

With the spate of divorces around lately, I questioned myself , what is the real key to a successful marriage. According to new research, at Emory University in Georgia, studies found out that women whose wedding cost £12,000 or more were three and a half times more likely to get divorced than those who spent less.


The research published by the Social Science Research Network also found out that men who spent between £1,244 and £2,488 on an engagement ring were 1.3 times more likely to end up divorced than those who spent less than £1,244. 

Relationship counsellors also believed that this statistic may indicate that couples spend more money on wedding to compensate for a less perfect relationship.

In my own opinion, I know it takes more than money for a wedding to make marriage a success. Drop a comment.
