Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

Image
  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.

Nigerians Urged To Pray For President Buhari

Image
We all know the president of Nigeria had his hands full when he took over the helms of power, a country that was reeling in deep corruption, starting from its top leaders. He had done a good work by challenging the leaders, but that in itself has not solved the groaning and complaints of the masses. They are in dire need of a saviour like Americans needed ex-president Barack Obama to solve its woes.
