  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.

£25m Prison To Be Built By UK In Jamaica

£25m Jamaican Prison To Be Built By UK
I heard this in the news this morning that Britain's prime minister, David Cameron is currently in Jamacia, and in talks with the Jamaican government asking for repatriation for its role in the slave trade. Prime Minister David Cameron said that financial reparations were "not the right approach".


Mr Cameron, who is the first British prime minister to visit the island in 14 years, said it was "absolutely right" that foreign criminals were properly punished but not at the expense of the "hard-working British taxpayer".

He said the agreement would mean "Jamaican criminals are sent back home to serve their sentences, saving the British taxpayer millions of pounds but still ensuring justice is done".

Frances Crook from the Howard League for Penal Reform, said it was "the wrong use of foreign aid", would not solve the problem of overcrowding in British prisons, that without British support for the running of the new prison in Jamaica, it would "very quickly deteriorate", leaving the UK with the same problems that currently exist.
