  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.

Don't ever let anyone silence you by Katie Piper
She came to the attention of the world in March 2008, when acid was thrown in her face by her then boyfriend and his accomplice; who are now serving life sentences in jail for the crime. She chose not to stay the victim but waved her right of anonymity to increase the awareness of burn victims.

Since  then, she has gone on to forge a strong career and found love again and recently welcomed her first daughter Bella with her fiance James; making her a source of inspiration to every woman around the globe. 


She took to her instagram feed to share her memories of her acid attack, saying: 

“When I look in the mirror my scars no longer upset me, they just remind me I am stronger than the person who tried to hurt.

“We all have scars whether they are on the skin or the soul. Remember only those who survive wear scars.

“Next time you look in the mirror repeat to yourself I'm proud to be a survivor.”
 “We all have scars whether they are on the skin or the soul. Remember only those who survive wear scars.

 “Next time you look in the mirror repeat to yourself I'm proud to be a survivor.”
Brave heart Katie Piper as she is today

" The Walls of Benin City was the world's largest man-made earth structure " -  Fred Pearce History class in high school always fascinated me, a lesson on Benin Empire was awakener - the vast wealth and greatness of its men, who were revered from their business acumen, strength and valour was one that left a mark on me. But today, that is not the case, Edo is been seen in the media, as a place where their women trade are prolific in prostitution!  How could this be?

Barefoot Rihanna Get Bad Vibes From New York Streets

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.
