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.

Regina Osarumaese in asylum bid in iceland
Regina claims her family were persecuted in Nigeria; which is why she has been on the run since she was a six year old child, but the Immigration board doubt her story and can't understand why she would be in danger in own country, Nigeria.

She took her case to the parliament  entrance, with her two kids in tow, as a one woman demonstrator, carrying a placard, with the hopes of  discussing her plight to a legislator who could hear her out. She says there is nothing for her in Nigeria as her life and that of her children will be in danger. The placard reads,
"I am a mother of two children and expecting the third baby anytime from now, because i'm pregnant. Deporting me and my children back to Africa is not the best solution for the future of my kids. Please have some soul. Thanks"
