  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.

GQ Magazine Vilifies Amber Rose As "Kanye's Ex And Wiz's Baby's Mama"

Amber on GQ
I noticed something strange today in the dailies. The mirror remembered today is Kim Kardashian's birthday, on their birthday column but Amber Rose did not make the list yet her birthday is today. Well, she is furious at the moment of how GQ magazine describes her.

GQ referred to Rose as a "teen stripper turned megalomaniac muse" and the magazine's attempt at being punny with its shout out to West's 2010 album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," didn't go over so well either. 
"Really [GQ], I'm so much more then Kanye's Ex or Wiz's baby's mama. Damn, why the fuck did u guys reach out to me for this article and photo shoot? To dumb me down? I talked about feminism and my Slutwalk... " she wrote along with photo of the offending article. "Wtf nice title smh I expected so much more from u guys and I'm so disappointed. I was so excited to be featured in GQ not realizing I was shooting for a tabloid. My slutwalk was for ignorant shit like this. Oh "Her beautiful dark twisted journey to the top"? Nice pun. Negative af. Thx for nothing."
Some commentators have slammed her for being lucky for not being called a ho*, that what else has she done apart from been with two famous rappers! Amber, the media can be your friend today, give you flattery for praises - and be mean the next minute.... Being bi---y is what gets them their $$$$$. You can't win, just hold your head up high.

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.
