  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.

Meet The World's Poorest President, Jose Mujica Of Uruguay

-
There was a twitter post I saw this week questioning ex president Buhari's wealth. I wondered if there were other presidents who shunned an extravagant lifestyle whilst in office. I actually found an article about the poorest president  from Uruguay, Jose Mujica, what I learnt from him was quite shocking in these days of consumerism and flamboyance.

 How could a president live like he does? According to the BBC, he lives on a farm with his wife instead of the presidential palace and gives away 90% of his salary.
In this video he said:
"Poor people are those who always want more and more, those who never have enough of anything, those are the poor people because they are in a never ending circle and they will never have enough time in their lives."

 President Jose Mujica's lifestyle might be a bit to steep but who agrees with the quoted statement?

 Share your candid opinion.
