  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.

Bad Romance: Bleached And Dumped By Lover For Not Being Light Skinned Enough

-
Hmmmm
Will you as a woman or man ever bleach to please the opposite sex? This is the dilemma faced by a reader who posted a note on behalf of a friend... who has been dumped for not being a "yellow paw paw". Man palaver gone wrong!


Hi, 

My name is Ladi and my friend is in a dilemma now. She is living in shock of the reality that her 8 months boyfriend just dumped her for “not being the kind of fair he wants.” She once told me that her boyfriend told her that it wouldn’t be bad for her to be a little lighter because he feels he is often attracted to light skinned ladies.

I discouraged her from bleaching her skin and she told me I would not understand what dark skinned ladies like her go through. I told her that if a guy doesn’t like her the way she is, then he doesn’t deserve her. 

But when I returned from a trip after 5 weeks, my friend had changed completely from the dark coloured lady she used to be to a light skinned lady; even lighter than I am. Now she is telling me that Johnson has dumped her and told her he feels embarrassed walking side by side with her and that she has a particular odour he can’t stand. 

She said he told her all these and many more to her face after he had been avoiding her and refusing to pick her call, till she eventually tracked him down to ask what was wrong with their relationship. 

I really want to help her but she doesn’t want to move on and is blaming herself for using cheap cream instead of bleaching like a big girl. Please my fellow people, what do I tell her to get her out of this mess.

When is light skinned light enough to please a man? 

Any advice for the woman will be appreciated.

" 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?

Barefoot Rihanna Get Bad Vibes From New York Streets

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.
