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.

"The picture was shot in 1966 to symbolize how Welch was "crucified" by the entertainment industry for her sexuality. I love old Hollywood, love Raquel Welch and especially love the meaning behind the piece. It was way before its time! It's just a dope piece of feminist art.' she added.

Sharon Osborne decided to recreate the same photo, was it necessary and what message are they really sending out to everyone?  Nori must be used to her mum's photo antics by now!
