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.

How Do You Interpret Your City?

How Do You Interpret Your City
How would you define the city in which you live to someone? From its inhabitants to the cultural hub, It is one thing to watch the television and get clues from it about a place and it is another thing to actually experience the place itself by being a part of it, or defining it from your own perspective.


London, I would call the melting pot of different cultures. I could travel the world on a zones 1 – 6 travel card and taste the cuisines of the world whilst been in a place!!!!!

There is the good, the great and not so great nor good bits of the place, but let’s focus on its architecture and dwellers.

I have made good friends, met great people, and had great experiences and I am sure this has been my love for living in Lagos, Nigeria rubbing off me, where different cultures celebrate one another, not unlike the religious insurgencies taking place right now.


In the neck of the woods where you reside, what are the joys of living in such great place?  Share with us all.
