  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.

The Beach Body Advert Controversy, 'Makes People Feel Inferior'

The Beach Body Advert Controversy, called body shaming
A protein world advert displayed at a London underground station has sparked outrage from 44,000 people, calling for its removal. They claim it creates negative body issues.
While some have shared their pictures in #everybodysready, of defaced posters; others have organised a “taking back the beach” protest, set for London’s Hyde Park on Saturday, 2nd May, 2015.
Richard Staveley, head of marketing at Protein World, said: 
“We want to encourage discussion on this. Ultimately we want to encourage a healthier, fitter nation. We want to encourage everybody to be the very best version of themselves. It’s been quite odd how many people we’ve found who are far quicker to fit shame then fat shame. And, you know, if that makes us bad, then so be it. And if Katie Hopkins is in agreement with us then we’re delighted.”
Do you find such a poster "offensive"? Does other peoples' body bother you?
