  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.

                                    Erwiana                                                  Law Wan-Tung

 Back in December 8, 2014, I published the story of an Indonesian maid who was brutally tortured by her boss in Hong Kong. See Here. The case got people protesting the harsh treatment of Erwiana, it raised the spotlight on the abuse of migrant workers.
Law Wan-Tung, 45 broke her maid, Erwiana Sulistyaningsih's teeth and jammed a vacuum cleaner tube into her mouth amid other barbaric forms of abuse. Today she is serving a six years jail sentence for the abuse.

 Erwiana flanked by her supporters told the court. "For me, justice is finally delivered.".
"I sincerely appreciate the judgement of the judge, who today exposed that slavery in Hong Kong really exists," Erwiana said via an interpreter. 
"I hope that the Hong Kong government and Indonesia government will reform the regulations so other victims and cases not yet exposed can appear in the public."
Bruises and scars from the maltreatment from Law Wan-tung
Those scars act as a reminder of her torture

Hospitalised by the brutality of her employer Law Wan-tung
