  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.

Serena Williams Loses To Karolina Pliskova In The US Open Semi Finals

 Serena loses to Karolina Pliskova in US open
Serena has failed to qualify for the next round of the 2016 US open, she lost to Karolina Pliskova, by 6-2, 7-6. Karolina would now face Angelique Kerber in the finals. 

“I have been having some serious left knee problems, Serena complained. When asked what effect this had on her game, she replied “Mental, because when you're hampered you're thinking of other things. Like I was making errors that I never make, and definitely I didn't make in this tournament in particular. So many simple, simple shots that I easily could have made. I just blame that on thinking about my leg and just not thinking about the shot.”
The predictors were right on this, but Serena still has the winning streak in her. 

Serena Williams Is Out Of US Open 2016

Karolina had watched Serena and her big sister, Venus play when she was a child only for her to beat both sisters in the same slam (US open 2016). The fourth player after Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis. She had this to say about Venus and Serena:
"To beat Serena, she's world No 1, so it's always tough to beat someone like this. She's never giving up. Even if she's losing, not playing her best, it's always tough to beat girls like this. But I would say it was a little bit tougher to play Venus because obviously I was a match point down and she was serving much better than Serena was tonight."
"Definitely, they did a lot for tennis. And both of them, they are such a great champions. You can still see it, even now. Even if they lose they are still behaving like champions."
Could I predict that Karolina will play her twin sister, Kristyna probably next year?
