  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.

OMG! Woman Discovers She Brought Into A "Fufu Phone" Scam
The phone looks old from the picture. Would you believe this story? I would not be surprised if she brought the phone from a roadside seller. Would it be advisable to buy electronic products from roadside traders? This kind of scam does not only happen in Lagos, Nigeria.

I have listened to radio programmes here in London; where people phone in to lament of their woes. how they brought electronic products off old Kent road worth £50 - £100 from men who sell out of white vans. On getting home, they try the product to find it has an electrical fault, or they discover they have been sold a stone!. 

I call it "Sweet Mouth Marketing," if it is too good to be true, then that is what it is. 

A Yoruba proverb says: eni nwa ifa; nwa ofo, means awoof tear pocket!

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.
