  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.

What Are The Joys Of Being A Teacher?

Teaching is a gift and a passion, you have to be tolerant to be in the class with students from varying backgrounds. Back in Lagos, when I was a pupil, I had some fantastic and not so fantastic teachers, but what I found appalling was the way teachers were being treated by the government and students, it was not pleasant.  

In the UK, I have spoken to a few teachers about why they love their role as a teacher, they spoke of the paperwork involved and not enough time to teach the students, their holidays being cut short because they have to act as nannies on behalf of parents, some students have more rights and protection than teachers, and the list goes on.

What did you enjoy about your teachers in school and would you be a teacher if the need arises? If you are a teacher, What are the joys of teaching?
