  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.

Russell Simmons Has A Word For Oscars Awards

This will be a fun, entertaining and hopefully thought provoking celebration of the uncelebrated.” The new event arrives in the wake of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy that has roiled the Academy after the nominations were unveiled this year. 
Simmons’ All Def Movie Awards will feature a black carpet, live musical performance, and a consistent stream of video content on social media. Beasts of No Nation, Chi-raq, Concussion, Creed, Dope and Straight Outta Compton will compete for best picture".
