  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.

Efiko!!!  Army Veteran Aged 77 Earns His 8th Degree
For the love of learning, you are never too old to learn something new, with the advance in technology, people have been surpassing their wildest dreams of doing their best. As in the case of Hurl Taylor, 77, an army veteran who earned his 8th degree in Master of Religion in Public Life from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology.

“I’m really excited because I think sometimes, senior citizens kind of pine away,” said Taylor, who still practices law. “They don’t do a lot. Going back to school, for me, keeps the old mind very active and I like academics.”
He plans to use his studies to teach and help in the prison ministry at Beulah Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, which he joined in 2012. The ministry makes regular visits to DeKalb Regional Youth Detention Center.

Taylor, who shows no sign of slowing down, plans to go to Germany for three weeks with other Candler students and faculty members as part of a study trip to examine the place of contemporary religion in Germany ahead of the upcoming 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. The group will meet with Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Muslim leaders and will also engage issues around the religious response to the refugee crisis.
