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.

"President Obama Shortchanged Black People" - Sean Combs

"President Obama Shortchanged Black People" - Sean Combs
Musician, performer and businessman Sean "Diddy" Combs opened up to Al Sharpton on what he felt concerning President's Obama's tenure in the White House. He did not mince his words, and feels that Clinton should earn her support from the black community, by directly engaging with them and until she does, he suggested black voters "hold" their support from her.


"My number one thing, though, to be honest, is black people, I feel like we put President Obama in the White House. When I look back, I just wanted more done for my people because that's the name of the game. This is politics. You put somebody in office you get in return the things that you care about for your communities."
"I think we got a little bit shortchanged," he added. "That's not knocking the President. There's a lot going on, he's done an excellent job, you know, but I think it's time to turn up the heat because the black vote is going to decide who is the next president of the United States."
