  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.

He was fined all of his prize money for kicking advertising hoardings, crushing nearby safety boards and stripping off in front of his fans after defeating the top seed, and fellow countryman, 

The International Table Tennis Federation (IITF) described the match on its website as, "one of the most dramatic finals ever witnessed since the tournament was first staged in 1980."
