  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.

Nigeria And The Barbaric History Of Alms Begging With Borrowed Babies

The trade of babies been borrowed to beg for alms started sometime in the 90's and it is still rife in Nigeria. Girl education goes a long way, and is more than girls graduating from school. It would have to extend to educating women after graduation and curbing the vicious cycle of child abuse. Here is a case of a woman caught recently with two babies and when interrogated in-depth, she had to make a confession for her act, She did it to make ends meet was her plea. Watch video after the break.


With the First Lady, Aisha Buhari in New York promoting the girl education, she has a lot of work on her hands, from dealing with human trafficking for the prostitution trade and ending this baby beggars syndrome. 

Does this happen in your country, where mothers give out their babies to other women in order to beg for alms, and what measures have your government taken to eradicate such acts? Kindly share with others.
