  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.

Classics: Late Bob Marley - "One Love"

Late Bob Marley And The Wailers
When was the first time you ever heard a reggae song? Mine was after a church gathering in my home town!, was in an uncle's car and the tunes kept on playing, the lyrics and the rhythm were different from anything I had ever heard, it was Peter Tosh's "African". This was the introduction of reggae music in my life. Every Saturday morning, Bob Marley's music would play in the neighbourhood, there was always a positive vibe around and his songs were a delight to the ears.
Bob Marley's music was a conscious awakener to the soul, his music was packaged right and everyone loved it. I am sure reggae music inspired lots of African artists such as Lucky Dube of South Africa, and Ras Kimono of Nigeria. Thank you for the music.

Let's hear it, what was the first reggae tune, you ever heard?
