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.

The Morning Sickness Men!

Strange things do happen, men experiencing morning sickness, researchers at St George’s University, London, monitored 282 dads-to-be throughout their wives’ pregnancy.


Men aged between 19 and 55, reported a range of symptoms including back pain, mood swings, cravings, insomnia, toothache and cramp. A control group of men whose partners were not pregnant were far less likely to say they were suffering from these ailments.

Eleven of the men who participated were forced to visit their GP because of the symptoms – though no physical causes were found - and some of them even developed what looked like a “baby bump”.
“These men were so attuned to their partners, they started to develop the same symptoms,” said Dr Arthur Brennan, the academic who led the study.
“Some people may perceive this as men trying to get in on the act, but far from being attention-seeking, these symptoms are involuntary.
“Often the men haven’t got a clue about what’s happening to them.” 
I wonder if this morning sickness amongst men is being experienced globally or is it just in the UK?
