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.

A Tribute To The Late Stella Adadevoh

A son's pain at his mother's loss - Mr Bankole Cardoso paid homage to his mother Late Mrs Stella Adadevoh. "On the first day, I was able to stand by the window and speak to her, but as time went on, I wasn’t even able to do that. It is the worst part of this illness – as upset and emotional as you are, you have to hold back"It was her sharp-eyed diagnosis, however, that identified Nigeria’s first case of the virus which also claimed her life. 

Her courage had a high price.  Were it not for her quick thinking, however, the current Ebola outbreak would almost certainly be far worse than it is. Take heart.. RIP to the selfless woman  who was an inspiration to all.
