  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.

Veteran actor, Moses Adejumo Olaiya (MON), aka Lamidi Sanni, but popularly known as Baba Sala is 80 today. He was one of the pioneers of Yoruba comedy and films in the 70's and 80's.

Baba Sala, along with other actors like late Hubert Ogunde, Kola Ogunmola, Oyin Adejobi, Duro Ladipo brought theatre and television acting to Nigerians. His acting also gave rise to other Yoruba comedians like the trio comedians: Jacob, Papalolo and Aderupoko, Oga Bello etc, all of  which gave birth to Nollywood and acting today.

Happy Birthday Pa Moses Olaiya, thank you for the laughter and films.
