Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  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.

Evergreen Music - Mory Kante's "Yeke Yeke"

Classics Mory Kante's Yeke Yeke
I read a book written by Angelique Kidjo today and she made reference of Mory Kante in one their music recordings. This brought back good memories, when I first heard the song "Yeke Yeke", that was in the 80's. The song took Lagos by storm, its vibrancy was great for the weather!

In London, the song is being played as a remix and it sounds as evergreen. Enjoy "Yeke Yeke"
