  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.

Ebola Charity: Outrage Over Bob Geldof's Band Aid 30


There has been lots of speculations in the media with reference to Bob Geldof's band aid 30 single to fight Ebola. I noticed that Fuse ODG, Adele and Lily Allen turned down the offer to appear on the single. Listening to the song does not reflect a thing on what Africa is all about. It is more of an insult to Africa as a continent and a disrespect to the dead. I think people should stop jumping on the "Ebola" bandwagon for the monetary gain aspects of it alone.

Kudos to the medical officers and innocent citizens who have lost their lives to a terrible disease. I think it is high time Sir Bob Geldof acknowledges that he is not a spokesperson for Africa.

Listen to the song and let's know what your thoughts are on this: Yes or No
