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.

Nigerians Who Made "The 100 Most Influential People" - TIME Magazine

Nigerians Who Made "The 100 Most Influential People" - Time Magazine
They are the Nigerians who made "The 100 Most Influential People" - Time Magazine 2015. President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, Novelist Ngozi Adichie, Founder of Transparency International, Oby  Ezekwesili. Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau on the list!?!?! that baffles me. 

He was chosen by by General Carter Ham (U.S. Army, retired). The retired army general must have elected Shekau because he had done the whole gamut in massacring the citizens of north Nigeria - thousands of people have been killed, and millions have become displaced refugees in bordering countries. Chibok girls kidnapped since April 2014, joining forces with ISIS, all in the name of misinterpretation of Islam!

Would he give an acceptance speech from his hideout? we will only have to wait and see.
