  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.

Former Nigeria Coach Stephen Keshi Passes Away

Stephen Keshi Passes On
Nigeria Football Federation announced this morning the passing of the former captain of the Nigeria national team, Stephen Keshi, aged 54. He is thought to have died of a suspected cardiac arrest, according to his family.

"It is true, my brother has passed on. He has gone to meet his wife," Ado said, referring to Kate, Keshi's wife of 35 years, who died last year after a three-year battle with cancer. The couple had four children. - Emmanuel Ado, Manager
As the Nigeria coach in 2011, Keshi led the Super Eagles  to victory in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and then guided them into the Round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil where they lost to France. He was only the second man to win the Africa Cup of Nations as a player and coach - after Egypt's Mahmoud El-Gohary. Despite his success at national level, his time at the top was very fragile.
