  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.

" The Walls of Benin City was the world's largest man-made earth structure " -  Fred Pearce History class in high school always fascinated me, a lesson on Benin Empire was awakener - the vast wealth and greatness of its men, who were revered from their business acumen, strength and valour was one that left a mark on me. 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?
