Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  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.

Farewell: Jonah Lomu Passes On At 40

Jonah Lomu dies at 40
Rugby legend Jonah Lomu, regarded as the game's first global superstar before kidney disease ended his career, died unexpectedly aged 40. He had battled with the disease for quite a long time, in 2005, in a interview with Fox he said...

“Eight hours on dialysis. Or kick the bucket? That was no option,” Lomu said. “You have two choices in life when your kidneys fail. You either do dialysis or you die. And dying is not in my vocabulary.
“The darkest moment was when I fell over for the first time. I had no clue why it happened. By the time of the 2003 World Cup, I needed my wife to help me walk. I would take three steps and fall over, or I could walk for 10 minutes and then just fall over out of the blue. It just gave out when it wanted. I was basically numb from the knees down. My walk wasn’t a walk, it was more of a shuffle.”
His family has asked for privacy at this time. Adieu.
