  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.

Adaeze Uyanwah London's Official Guest of Honour 2015
A California school teacher and avid Harry Potter fan has won the trip of a life time to London, the two-week trip package which includes: open Tower Bridge, have afternoon tea at Lord’s with Downton Abbey star Jim Carter, and eat a meal prepared by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton.

 According to the Standard, Adaeze Uyanwah won the 'London's Official Guest of Honour', after beating lots of hopefuls for the prize.
She described the whole experience as "mind blowing and something out of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

In her winning essay of 70 words on a perfect day in London she wrote:
 “First, I’d wake up at Buckingham Palace if possible. Then I’d go for a full English breakfast at a traditional English pub. I’d then take a tour of Parliament and see a show in the West End.
“I’d end the day on the London Eye, overlooking the city. There are so many more things I’d love to do in my favourite city! Not enough hours in the day.” Boris Johnson said: “I look forward to welcoming our Guest of Honour to London and hearing about her science trip with the great Professor Stephen Hawking.”

Dusty feet, muddy feet, rainy feet reliving one's childhood in a foreign land. Days of walking bare foot in the streets as a child. Don't lie and pretend to be all grown up, like you never passed that phase in your childhood. I think Rihanna remembers well, and can recapture that moment of walking barefoot without a care in the world.
