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.

Mother Of The Year, Doing The Right Thing

The furious mother had to discipline her son, and would not have him get involved in the Baltimore Riots that is recently taking place over the death of Freddie Gray. If her son was killed in the melee, nothing would bring him back, so she had to do the right thing, by marching him home with some African-esque sort of public whooping. 

Please don't tell me this is child abuse, so social services should get involved. Tough love.
