  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.

Xenophobia In South Africa Is Unfortunate - Ben Murray-Bruce

Ben Murray Bruce addresses Xenophobia and triballism
Ben Murray Bruce, Senator Elect and CEO of the Silverbird Entertainment Group addressed xenophobia and tribalism. He wrote on forgiveness South Africans have shown Nigerians; he cited the tragic loss of 84 South Africans at Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), in a collapsed building on September 2014. Nigerians should likewise do the same over the xenophobic attacks that took place in South Africa last month. Excerpts from the article reads...


The issue of the recent wave of xenophobia in South Africa is unfortunate, but we must not throw away the baby with the bath water. Just as terrorism occasioned by the Boko Haram sect should not define Nigeria, xenophobia should not define South Africa.
As a government and as a people, we must show South Africa, at the very minimum, the same level of tolerance their government and people showed to us when 84 of their citizens died at the synagogue building collapse in Nigeria.
Let us learn something positive about this issue. If it is wrong to hate people because they are foreigners in your country, it must equally be wrong to hate fellow citizens because they are from a different tribe or region or religion. Charity begins at home. African nations, including Nigeria, must address prejudices such as tribalism and religious intolerance at home because the best way to get others to love you is to first love yourself.

But today, that is not the case, Edo is been seen in the media, as a place where their women trade are prolific in prostitution!  How could this be?

Barefoot Rihanna Get Bad Vibes From New York Streets

Dusty feet, muddy feet, rainy feet reliving one's childhood in a foreign land. Days of walking bare foot in the streets as a child. Don't lie and pretend to be all grown up, like you never passed that phase in your childhood. I think Rihanna remembers well, and can recapture that moment of walking barefoot without a care in the world.
