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.

Only In Africa: Jungle Justice Hair Salon

Blame it on the lover, blame it on the salon owner, or blame it on the client who could not afford to pay for her hairdo. I read this with disbelief, getting a client's hair barbed because of non-payment of services is wrong, there are other ways of handling situations as such. I forgot, it is Africa where jungle justice is rife and anything goes! 

The sad incident happened at the Rich and Famous hair Salon in Zimbabwe, and according to reports, the victim, identified as Nothando, had gone to the salon with her boyfriend, who left when she was getting her hair done.
.
He allegedly promised to come back and pay for the hair, but never showed up again. Nothando reportedly tried escaping, but her plot was foiled as she was caught and the weave was cut by the hairdresser identified as Pamela. She also got a beating from the hairdressers
Were the hairdressers completely upset, that Nothando relied on a boyfriend not even her husband to pay for her expensive hairdo, thus she was treated inhumanely? Kindly share your thoughts, have you witnessed this type of sad experience in your own country and how was it handled? Thanks
