  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.

Six Months After Chibok: Campaign Continues

On the 14th October 2014, members of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign took their agitation to the Presidential Villa in Abuja, to protest what they consider government’s failure to free the girls from Boko Haram captivity.

Led by former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwezili, the protesters were stopped before they could get to the Presidential villa.Hopes that the Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan would meet the campaigners were dashed when a government delegation announced that he was “very busy and cannot come out”. A similar protest took place in New York, led by American R&B star Alicia Keys, who said there is a need to keep up the pressure and for more to be done to bring the Chibok girls home. US First Lady also tweeted that they haven’t forgotten about the girls.
