Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  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.

Classics: Fred Hammond - Breathe Into Me

-

In times like this, a song to revive the soul before distraction kicks in is needed. This song was from the project: The Spirit of David 1996, Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ sings Psalm 119:25 Breathe Into Me Oh Lord - Listen and Enjoy.


Lyrics
When the battle makes me weary
It seems that I've lost ground
It's so hard to hear Your voice Lord
With distractions all around
I try to lift my hands, to give You praise
But then a spirit of heaviness
Tries to shield Your face, so I'm saying breathe

 [Chorus]
Breathe into me oh Lord, the breath of life
So that my spirit would be whole
And my soul made right
Breathe into me oh Lord, day by day
So that my heart is pure before You, always, always

 Unto Thee oh Lord do I lift up my soul
It's only by Your hand
That I can be made whole
So Lord breathe on me
And revive my spirit within
And I'll never be the same

 [Chorus]

 Condemnation tries to hold me
Like a prisoner in chains
And the weight of my burdens
Is calling out my name
That's when I lift up my voice worship You
Because I know
You promised You would wash me
Jesus wash me white as snow

 Unto Thee oh Lord do I lift up my soul
It's only by Your hand, that I can be made whole
So Lord let Your breath revive me again
And I'll never be the same
I will never be the same, I will never be the same

 [Chorus]

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.
