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.

Handover Alert: Should President Buhari Run For President Again?

Image
Since he has announced his intentions to run for presidency, there has been mixed reactions from Nigerians, not just on the effects of how President Buhari's administration has not met the "changes" as promised by him during his early campaign, but the clashes maiming the Northerns spreading into the south of Nigeria, I mean the 'Fulani Herdsmen' turned cowboys with guns killing citizens!!! Whilst some are counting their blessings, for others, it has been tales of gloom. Does the president deserve a third chance at the election polls or it is time to hand over his expertise and knowledge to the younger generation. Leave when the ovation is the loudest. Your views are much appreciated.

Be Encouraged....
