  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.

Dele Momodu On Buhari’s Anti-Corruption War
Ovation International CEO, Chief Dele Momodu dismissed news on social media that the President’s anti-corruption war is targeted against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members only.


He further said he does not support witch-hunting anti-corruption war and warned the President to explore other methods of fighting corruption other than trial on the pages of newspapers.
“Timipre Silva’s case is still on, he is an APC man. People just carry rumour. The truth is, naturally, there would be more PDP people been called because they were the dominant party so what do you expect? And I personally have even written that they should not witch hunt anybody. I don’t support kangarooism” he said.
“I believe that war against corruption should be done across board and should not also too loud because sometimes if the noise becomes too much like it was pre-2007 and at that time I wrote against it. People said are you defending corruption, but the thing is, you don’t set fire to a whole village because you want to catch a few rats.
“We have to manage it well otherwise it becomes totally chaotic and if care is not taken, that will be the only thing he will be battling and there are different methodology for fighting corruption everywhere in the world.

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.
