  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.

Tough Love: Mother Shames Daughter On Video

Mother shames daughter on video
Tough love works, an angry mother publicly shamed her 13-year-old daughter on Facebook after discovering that she was posing as a 19-year-old and posting racy pictures. In a video posted on the social media site, the mother stands on a residential street in Denver, Colorado, next to her sobbing child as she reveals the truth of her daughter's deception to all her Facebook 'friends'. Watch video of mum confronting her daughter to confess of her social media offence.




The mum told the camera that her daughter had been lying about her age as well as posting pictures of herself in lingerie and wearing make up. The mother then turns to her child and says: You're 13. So why does your Facebook page say that you're 19? Are you 19?

Shamed: Angry mum posts video of daughter on Facebook after discovering racy pictures on her profile. The girl sobs as she replies: No.

But the mum ignores her daughter's tears, adding: Don't cry now. You wasn't crying when you was posting pictures on Facebook, was you? She adds: You still have a bedtime, right? You still watch the Disney Channel! before making her daughter confirm it to the camera.

She then tells her daughter that she will be staying inside to read for the whole of summer, with no access to TV and no time to spend with her friends. Turning to the camera again, the angry mum also addressed the men who had befriended her daughter on the social network.

She said: She's a kid and she's going to stay a kid. And as long as she's under my roof, she's going to do what I say. The video lasts a total of five minutes and 40 seconds and has been viewed more than 11 million times since it was posted to Facebook. Thousands of viewers have rushed to praise the mother, with one writing: Great loving Mom! Say thank you child, someday you will understand and love your Mom for what she did.

But others have criticised the 'tough-love' approach, with one viewer adding: Something needs to be done but not like this. That's the problem with our society, no parenting skills this is not cool.
