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.

Caught On Camera: 30 Minutes Rickshaw Ride For £600
A secret filming shows a rickshaw rider charging its intending customer £600 for a 30 minutes ride in the heart of London, Oxford street outside selfridges to be precise. What, he ain't even a black cab, talk about rich pickings for Christmas. He must have though everyone coming within that vicinity is loaded with cash.

  

 “How do you charge £600 for half an hour?” asks the incredulous passenger, believed to be a Dutch tourist.
 “We make agreement,” insists the driver, pointing to a price list he claims backs up his demand for £10 a minute.
Are they taking liberties because they are not regulated, I hope Boris Johnson has seen this and something will be done promptly.

Talk about a rip off ride!
