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.
Queen Latifah Talks Marriage Inequality On Uptown Magazine April 2015 Cover
-
Looking radiant as ever on the cover of Uptown magazine, Queen Latifah, 45 spoke candidly on issues concerning marriage inequality, Bill Cosby sexual assault case, and the next chapter of her life. On marriage inequality:
"Who you choose to marry is really up to you and it’s not something you should be judged on. I don’t find being gay or lesbian to be a character flaw. Couples should be protected under the laws of this country period. It actually angers me".
On homosexuality:
"People's ideas in general are antiquated when it comes to who you love," she told Uptown. "We haven't moved as quickly as we probably should. And the reality is that there's always been gay people in the black community, so it's not foreign to us. And not just as a black community but just a society as a whole."
On her cancelled "Queen Latifah Talk Show":
"Obviously it was disappointing but I don't look at these things as catastrophic failures," the Grammy-award winning rapper and CEO of Flavor Unit Records and Management said. "We have a lot going on in our company alone, so I'm not worried about my next job opportunity."
On Bill Cosby 'stained legacy' sexual allegations:
"It's unfortunate because he has done so much in terms of entertainment, culture, and black folks," the 45-year-old "Bessie" star said in the April-May cover story for Uptown magazine. "But right is right and wrong is wrong. All these women, all these stories, it's just - what a big stain on such an amazing career."

Pastor Chijioke from Nigeria Pastor Chijioke from Breast and Honey Fellowship International Church was exposed as a scam. If only this pastor knew what was in store for him, but God knows his own - The pastor who sucks on women's breasts deceiving them he is assisting them by removing evil spirits via deliverance service! He could not even refer to a passage in the bible that condones his behaviour.
The armed force are known for not joking around when it comes to spotting impostors wearing their outfits, whereas in some quarters, this could also be worn as a fashion statement! A man in Nigeria was caught and confronted by army officers for wearing a camouflage vest. He was later apprehended; but the impostor's response was not forthcoming but highly hilarious. Watch footage after the break.
Looking at the photo of this lady, what would you say? When love becomes tragic, Rina Palenkova, 17, posted a selfie with the words "goodbye" of herself before committing suicide over her on-and-off-boyfriend.
