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.

Plagiarism Alert: Buhari's "Change Begins With Me" Campaign Accused Of Copying President Obama's Victory Speech

Buhari Copied Obama's victory speech.
Busted indeed - Buhari's "Change Begin With Me" campaign has started off on a wrong foot, the Nigerian president has been accused of copying and modifying (paragraph 6: One nation one people) almost verbatim, the victory speech delivered by President Obama of the US in 2008. This was sussed out by the eagle-eyed media, and Shehu Garba Shehu, SSAP Media and Publicity to the President decided to release a statement.
The Presidency wishes to respond to a story on alleged plagiarism in a Presidential Speech that has been trending for most of today.
The Presidency observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech and what the President read in paragraph nine of the sixteen-paragraph while inaugurating the “Change begins with me” are too close to be passed as coincidence. There was a mistake by an overzealous administration staff and we regret that this has happened.
A Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraphs even when a query to him was being typed. This serious oversight will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate punishment meted.
The Presidency, once again regrets this unfortunate incident. Measures have been put in place to ensure that this does not happen again.
President Muhammadu Buhari admonished Nigerians to move past incident and focus on the message of change which the country needs in order to restore our cherished value systems. 
Who is the speech writer to the Nigerian President?  With all the intelligent scholars in president Buhari's administration, you decide to copy and create embarrassment, you can do better.
