  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.

Meet Hussain Manawar, The Poetic Spaceship Talks On Mental Health

Hussain Manawar
Who are you calling crazy?

Meet Hussain Manawer,  24, a great multi-tasker, first he had just won a trip to space and he dedicated his speech to those who had suffered from mental health, in a poetic way. He gave his speech at One Young World competition ceremony in Bangkok.... Hear him out.



Now, in 2018 he will travel more than 60 miles above the Earth – to the area between the atmosphere and outer space, where there’s no gravity.

We should learn to celebrate our differences - we all have our calling which might not make sense to everyone all the time, but can make a difference to some people when it is necessary.

In his winning speech he said: 'This spaceship, I want to dedicate this to every single person who has suffered from mental health, every young boy, girl, man, woman who sits in their bedrom crying and you don’t know why, everyone who avoids mirrors because you don’t like what you look like. ‘I want to tell you, if you are suffering from mental health it is absolutely fine. ‘Welcome to the club, there are seven billion of us.’
