  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.

Police Chief Begs President Buhari For More Financial Aid

Nigeria POLICE pleads for money
Remember the adage that says "Police is your friend"? Inspector-General of Police, IG Arase made the plea for financial assistance at the recent "National Security Conference on: Community Partnership Approach to Internal Security and Crime Management" organised by Police in Abuja.


Mr Arase noted that modern policing was a cost-intensive venture of which the benefits far outweigh the value of budgetary investment.
“Through effective funding, the welfare of police personnel will be met and the challenge of corruption that has eroded professionalism and public respect for police will be addressed,” he said.
He called for the resuscitation and passage of the Bill on Police Trust Fund pending before the National Assembly to give effect to public-police partnership. He wanted the bill that seeks to tax corporate entities to complement the Federal Government in funding the police.

Arase maintained that if passed, the funding challenges of the police would have been addressed on a sustainable basis.
“This model will address the manpower deficiency challenge in the Nigeria Police as every citizen plays the role of police officer,” he said.
