  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.

  Mr. Utomo Karim, a lawyer representing Jamiu Owolabi Abashin confirmed in a statement that;



‘Each convict on death row was called in one by one, for between 30 minutes to one hour, it varied,’ Mr Karim said. My client (Nigerian Raheem Agbaje Salami)  - also known as Jamiu Owolabi Abashin was notified of the day of the execution, it will be (just after midnight on) Tuesday night.’
