  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.

Lagbaja Blast Nigerians And Its Failed Leaders In "200 Million Mumu Part 3"

200 Million Mumu
Leaders and people of Nigeria government, Lagbaja has released a follow up to 200 Million Mumu, part 2, the song is a direct accusation of the government's bad leadership. 200 Million Mumu are Nigerians.


  

 Lagbaja relates his displeasure by saying: 
"Undoubtedly, we the people are to blame for our woesThe "leaders" have discovered that they can get away with anything... ANYTHING!Because of our docile mumurity as uncritical and comatose minionsBecause we never stand up to them and demand probity  
That is why Obasanjo single handedly chose Yar'Adua and JonathanAnd led us like sheep into this turmoilHow blessed a nation we could have been Had he instead used his great cunning for the benefit of NigeriaThe good things he did, his anointed successors destroyed Obasanjo used his own hands to destroy what he worked hard to build... Sad testimony... Bad legacy... Sad autobiography 
You may not be richBut your well being is as important as theirs and their children's As a human being, you have rightsAs a citizen of Nigeria, you have rights 
While giving utmost respect to our leadersAnd acting with all sense of humility as dictated by our cultureWe should still demand and insist on justice and equityAh...ah... We are better than this 
It should be obvious to all now...You, like me, may be smallBut even the mightily powerful "big man" is mortal dustFood for worms...No man is God!"

" 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.
