  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.

The Oldest Woman With Sickle Cell In The World Marks Another Year

Last year, I wrote a story about madam Asiata Onikoyi-Laguda, at which, she gave us an introduction to what life was like living with sickle cell. Read here. She celebrated her 91st birthday yesterday on November 1, 2016.

At that time of her birth, the average life expectancy of children born with sickle cell disorder was just five years, but she has defied the odds to live up to 91.  

Happy birthday to you ma.
