Image
Hey readers!!!!! Today I’m back with something very very special. This is my first REQUESTED REVIEW!!!!!! It’s kind of the equivalent of a lifestyle blogger’s brand deal except I’m not getting paid…yet 😏. Anyways, I’d like to acknowledge the author that reached out to me with such a pleasant piece of literature. *DRUM ROLL* Adenike Lucas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was the very first author to reach out to me with his book, Birthright . Told you I had something special planned 😉. Let me just tell you something now now. This book right here is beautifully written. At first I thought I would have to call out the confusion in time eras and all of that, but all of that is explained later on. Nothing is out of place here, everything is perfectly explained and written. Look man, Imma need you to buy this book immediately after this review because you are in for a sweet sweet treat.

He was a general who just recently resigned his job before all hell broke loose. Within this book you learn a few things about Nigeria back then and how everything came about. You get to know the exact words used by the leaders at the time, and a few reasons for the tensions in Nigeria at the time. You get to see Elechi Amadi's journey from when he was captured several times to having to claim the

13th (Review!!!)

Hey readers! I left for a whole week😭. I missed you guys so much! I left due to technical difficulties, but don't worry I'm back at my laptop coming at you with a whole new review!!! This review should be considered as an educational resource, so enjoy!!! Now let me tell you something, this documentary right here blew my mind😱! I loved the way that the speakers explained the impacts of the 13th amendment and why slavery was never really over. I understood the judicial system a lot more. This was an amazing documentary folks. Let me summarize it for you. So you see the 13th amendment technically says that nobody in the United States of America can be held against their own will UNLESS they are convicted of a crime. So that means, you are free until you go to jail. That clause right there is what is ruining lives till this day. Immediately after the Civil War, America had to rejuvenate its economy. The basis of their economy before was actually slavery. So they thought, "N
