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.

Betty Williams Cooks For 50 Strangers, In The Spirit Of Christmas

Betty Williams rolls out xmas to 50 strangers
Retired teacher Betty Williams, 86, rolled out Christmas lunch for 50 strangers in the spirit of giving, she had this to say:
'Every time my post comes there is a request for money, and I thought rather than send the money abroad, why not help local people. 
'The people who came to the lunch, I don't know them. I didn't know who would be there.



'Some of them I recognise, but that's as far as it goes. It was a pure gesture of putting money into the local economy. 
'Supporting the local economy is important to me, we have all these adverts on the television for charities, most of which are going abroad, a lot of which are going to the organisers.'
