  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.

Julie Adenuga Joins Apple's Music Streaming Service
From L-R: Julie, Ebron and Zane

Jay-Z's Tidal has got competition! Apple unveiled its new music streaming service at WWDC on Monday, detailing the features that it hopes will set it apart from the competition. One of the biggest parts of Apple Music is a worldwide radio station that will broadcast 24 hours a day, live from three cities around the world.




Its presenters are Julie Adenuga, Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe. Adenuga is going to present the British section of Beats 1, broadcasting from a radio studio in the city and playing British music. 

Rinse FM is the London community radio station where Adenuga has been presenting for the past five years. Not bad for someone who, a few years ago, was working in an actual Apple store as a sales assistant.

Apple described Julie Adenuga as a "dynamic new voice from the UK" who has "instantly gone from relative unknown to one of London’s most vital tastemakers."

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.
