  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.

President Obama Outraged Over NY Police Killings

President Obama expressed outrage over the killing of two New York police officers that took place recently, calling the police commissioners of New York and Philadelphia to lend support to the law enforcement.


Obama called New York Police Commissioner William Bratton to give his condolences for the two police officers shot and killed in an ambush in Brooklyn on Saturday.

In the call, the president urged Americans to reject violence and turn to "prayer, patient dialogue, and sympathy for the friends and family of the fallen," said White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz.

Later in the day, Obama called Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, who co-chairs the president's task force on policing and who has voiced concern about the dangers that some of the most vitriolic anti-police protests pose to officers.

Ramsey said that he worries about the environment faced by police officers with "some of the people chanting 'We want dead cops.' You just don't know who that impacts, and now you have two officers dead, leaving behind families." His remarks were reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
