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.

What Would You Call This?

I was listening to Abike Ade yesterday on Naija 101.1fm on a program called "Call a spade a spade" where she spoke on community matters concerning Nigeria. 

She actually spoke about a woman who had a boyfriend for 9 years, ended the relationship only to find out that this same man is in a relationship with  her own daughter aged 23. People phoned in to give their opinion and called it immorality which was forbidden in yoruba culture and what the mother of the daughter could do.

Has he been grooming his lover's daughter while he was in a relationship with her mother?

It actually baffled me that in 2014 people still engage in such acts?

How would you handle such situation?
