  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 Math Phobic Boy" Peng Yijian Absconds From Home For 6 Days, For Failing Assignment

-
What is the best way to resolve conflict with your mother over failed homework assignment? Stay in your room, or wait till daddy comes back? A 12 year old boy Peng Yijian, from Shangai, went to great lengths to avoid conflict with his mom because he failed his maths assignment.
He took matters in his own hands by staying away from home for 6 days until he was found wandering in Ikea Shangai by the Chinese police.His mother’s later informed the police that: 
"He was very upset and I feel guilty that I shouted at him. I got a phone call from his school saying he hadn’t done his maths homework and was being sent home,” she said. "When he got here we had an argument and he stormed off. And I didn’t see him again until now."
I am glad Peng is back home to his parents where he belongs and not roaming the streets because of a failed maths assignment.

Barefoot Rihanna Get Bad Vibes From New York Streets

Dusty feet, muddy feet, rainy feet reliving one's childhood in a foreign land. Days of walking bare foot in the streets as a child. Don't lie and pretend to be all grown up, like you never passed that phase in your childhood. I think Rihanna remembers well, and can recapture that moment of walking barefoot without a care in the world.
