  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.

Remembering Selena, 20 Years On

I read her story some years back, she was Selena Quintanilla, "The Queen of Tejano music" an acclaimed singer and actress, the Mexican Madonna. what baffled me what how her life was tragically cut short by Yolanda Saldivar, the founder of the Selena fan club. Saldivar had been managing Selena's boutique in San Antonio, and was about to be fired for embezzling money. Selena was lured into a motel room and shot in the back...



Jealousy or what would you call it, the worst form of wickedness disguised as friendship. What would you do if you find out your friend was envious of you? Selena's memory is celebrated worldwide with Jennifer Lopez played her in a biopic titled "Selena."
