  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.

‎Nigeria Senate President, Saraki’s Case Adjourned Indefinitely
When the trial for the senate president was heard in court for the first time, the was a mixture of joy and anguish. The joy was that the president was finally implementing 'change' to the country by starting from the top, by keeping his parliament clean. 


The anguish was the the Nigerian citizens had the premonition that this was just a front, "the president was showing them what they wanted to see."

After all the court house drama with the "false declaration of assets", has died down. The court has decided to indefinitely adjourn the case. 

Indefinite as in "throw it out of court", don't tell me those papers that were used in filing against the senate president will soon end up in the groundnut seller's kiosk!

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.
