  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.

Chibok Girls: We Have Been Neglected and Abandoned

The girls who escaped from the clutches of boko haram and were promised study  sponsorship  in different institutions across the nation, have complained of neglect and abandonment by the state government the Borno State

She said “over 50 of us were kept in a single room without adequate food, as only two persons were left to take care of our feeding. Most of us came with only two or three pairs of clothes but we were only given N10, 000, five wrappers and a phone”.


According to her, the principal of the school usually came and picked them in batches to undisclosed locations after seizing their phones to deny them opportunity of communicating with their parents and loves ones. “As I am speaking to you, they picked 26 of us, mostly Christians to an unknown destination and just yesterday, they picked another 13, remained only 15 of us”, she complained.

One of the parents told our correspondent on phone that already, some of the girls had escaped and went back to Chibok, as according to her daughter, they were tired of staying in captivity, as they were locked up in one place.

Those ladies have suffered enough psychological damage, the government of nigeria should kindly keep to their promise and not use the girls as media propaganda.
