  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.

What Would Jesus Think? Easter Chocolates Festive

-
If only Jesus could see the supermarket display right now, what would be on his mind?!?!
Easter is around the corner, weeks to go and the shops and supermarkets are agog with their display of Easter eggs.  For any child here in the UK, one would think Easter is all about eating chocolates, the display and designs of such eggs makes me wonder whether that is why the west loves their chocolates so much!

 I often ask myself in amusement, what would Jesus think, did I go to the cross and do the whole crucifixion all for chocolates??? A country where festive seasons are seen more as a commercializatin of profit. Back in Lagos, I remembered the days of eating "Frejon" and it tasted horrible in the mouth,- that was Nigeria's way of celebrating Holy Week, it was not about eating easter eggs. Did our parents play a fast one on us, knowing that people back in Britain do not even eat Frejon or fish for Holy Week?

 What does Easter mean to you and how is it celebrated in your country? Kindly share and feel free to leave a comment.
