  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.

Hotel Holiday Gone Wrong: Stepfather Drowns Toddler, While Mother Was Asleep

Questions will be asked if the mother did not suspect her husband's relationship towards her child, or was she the carefree type with the blind-eye syndrome? as long as she had a man to call her husband. 

A man has been arrested after CCTV footage showed a three-year-old girl drowning after being repeatedly thrown into a hotel swimming pool.In the horrific video, a man police claim is the toddler's stepfather repeatedly tosses her into the pool, leaving her frantically trying to keep afloat.


The girl died in Morelia, Mexico, on August 12, from secondary drowning, an autopsy revealed, according to local news site Proceso. Police said the man, his partner and her daughter were staying at a popular hotel together.

When the girl's mother was sleeping, the stepfather took the child to the communal pool, police claim. He threw her into the pool over and over again. Later, the child stopped breathing and she was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to reports.



The murderer was charged with homicide and is in prison awaiting further action in relation to the incident, according to local news site Proceso. In the CCTV footage posted by Quadratin News, the man continues to submerge the little girl and then remove her from the water, and then chuck her back in again.

She desperately tries to keep her head above the water, reaching out for help, but each time her effort becomes weaker than the last.

The hotel must have been an holiday trip for the family but turned out to be a torture-death trip for a child. Sad.
