  • Do You Know Who TF Duncan Mighty Actually Is?

    The Internet has gone mad again. I woke up to Duncan Mighty slander, wow.

    Duncan Mighty trended on Twitter, and it’s not because he’s added another album to his famous five. People are saying Wizkid ‘revived’ Duncan’s career because of the Fake Love collabo.

    This begs the question, did Duncan’s career ever die? Class is now in session, ladies and gentlemen.

    No, it never did. Duncan Mighty has been giving us jams since 2008 that he dropped his first album, ‘Koliwater’. That album gave us hits like Wene Mighty, Ako Na Uche, along with 20 other tracks and it was a monster! Please tell me where you think Wizkid was in 2008. Wizkid called Duncan a legend here. Do they revive the careers of legends?

    He dropped another four albums, with the last one being in 2016 called The Certificate that had hits like ‘Onyinye’ and ‘Port Harcourt Girl’.

    This is 2018, and Duncan’s last successful album was 2016. Let’s do the math together, shall we?
    According to Joey Akan, Duncan Mighty was this close to starting a Duncan Mighty Republic. Something like Kalakuta to Lagosians, so you know it’s not a small thing.
    But come sef, let’s reason; Duncan wrote and produced Fake Love, and he owned it! So I’m not understanding what people are talking about. It’s like we have all forgotten ‘Obianuju’ that was a viral sensation or ‘I Don’t Give A Shot’. Come on, many of your faves can’t relate.
    My dear Lagosians, there are 35 other states in Nigeria. I know it’s actually easy to forget so I won’t blame you too much. Duncan Mighty is King in the South. The fact that what you mostly hear is songs from other musicians is simply a matter of geography.

    Honestly, this is what I think. I may be wrong (which I’m not lol). What do you guys believe? Comment below, or tweet us @zikokomag!

  • Disney Is Giving Us An African Princess Named Sadé!

    Disney is about to have the first African Disney Princess, and it is a really big deal.

    Peep this article’s author name. 😀

    I mean, there’s been eleven whole other princesses.

    We’ve had multiple white princesses, a Native American princess, an Asian princess, but never an African one! I mean, Tiana of The Princess and the Frog was African-American, but Sadé has probably never gone abroad, yannoh. So, what do we need to know about Sadé?

    Sade is a warrior princess which kind of reminds us of Mulan.

    We stan a fighting princess. Fight them in your diamond-encrusted dress, natural-haired sis!

    Sadé has powers.

    Well, she is an AfricanNigerian princess…

    She has a cute prince as a sidekick, and an animal best friend.

    Because after you finish making war…

    Sadé’s kingdom is being threatened by a mysterious evil force, and she has to use her newly discovered powers to protect it.

    Yup, this is definitely a Nigerian story. I mean, we already know Chiwetalu Agu is the one trying to take over the Kingdom.

    This animated movie is still in the works so even though we know the producer is Rick Famuyiwa, there’s no cast, release date or anything else yet.

    Nobody asked me sha, but this is who I’d cast if I had magical powers like… Sadé. 🙂

    Funke Akindele voicing the older Sadé.

    And if she can just do that Jenifa voice and accent, in fact parvect!

    Banky W voicing the Prince

    Because you already know the music will come naturally.

    What does this mean though?

    Representation. Because black, and African little girls need to know that they don’t need that accent, the abroad or that whiteness to feel like princesses.

    What do you guys think about this movie?

  • And The World Cup Goes To…Africa!

    We can all say that Croatia played the game of their lives against France. But the thing about football is this;

    If you like play with your heart and soul, if the ball doesn’t enter the post, there’s no point.

    So, Croatia might have played a great game, but France scored more goals. Now, what I have to say might sound a bit wild.

    But I want to point out the fact that France didn’t really win the World Cup.

    When half of your team consists of Africans, who does the cup really go to? Be honest o.

    Africa? Yes! Africa. All of us.

    I could decide to give an analysis of every single African player on that team.

    But we are going to sleep here. I promise you.

    The most important thing you need to know is that from Mbappe to Pogba to Kante and Lemar, Mendy, Matuidi, Rami, Umtiti, Mendy, N’zozi, and many others are all Africans.

    Infact, Lemar is half Nigerian. I’m so emotional right now

    So we can also say that somehow, Nigeria won this Cup too.

    Oh, I’m so proud to be Nigerian.

    Infact I’m sure if we dig deep, we would find out that Pelé has African genes somewhere somehow.

    Just think about this, what is Pele in Yoruba? I won’t say more than that.

    Let me tell you the bitter truth, it’s okay to disagree. But just know that almost every legend in the history of legends comes from some part of Africa.

    I can start mentioning names, but I don’t want us to divert.

    Let’s place our focus on what is important for today. Africa borrowed France the World Cup.

    Not only are we skilled, we are also generous. Wow. A whole continent.

    On a serious note, whether we like it or not, Qatar 2022, Nigeria is bringing that cup home. I’m saying it with my chest.

    Okay maybe just half of my chest.

    I think before we end this, it’s important that we congratulate France properly.

    So dear France, congratulations.  You have done well.

    But if you actually think Africa deserves all the accolades raise your hand.

    Now let us know your reason below.
  • This Picture Of Cardi B Is Breaking The Internet.

    If you happened to skip the topic, I’d fill you in. There is a picture currently disturbing the internet.

    It’s a picture of Cardi b when she was a little kid.

    “Okay, but why is this my business?” I’d tell you why.

    It’s simply because this picture takes you right back to when you were younger.

    It’s accurate in every sense you could possibly think of.

    For example.

    My mummy said I should tell you that..

    ..you must play with me.

    Aunty, I should write the names of noise makers?

    Abi?

    You were making noise.

    That’s why I wrote your name.

    Ahn ahn uncle but that’s not how they taught us in school.

    Mummy I think my lesson teacher is teaching me rubbish.

    My daddy said that when I enter secondary school.

    He will buy phone for me.

    Good afternoon ma,

    My mummy said I should tell you that she’s not around.

    Don’t tell mummy I brought a girl to the house o.

    Okay brother.

    Mummy welcome,

    Uncle Ayo said I should not tell you that he brought a girl to the house.

    Uncle Ayo, Mummy said you should change it to cartoon for me.

    You’ve been watching ball since morning.

    Aunty,

    Please I want to go and wee wee?

    They gave me injection in the hospital, I did not even cry.

    It was not even painful

    Ha! You’re telling lies.

    All liars shall go to hell and perish in the lake of fire.

    In Jesus’ Name, I pray my mummy will not die, I pray my daddy will not die, I pray my sister will not die, I pray my brother will not die, I pray my friends will not die, I pray my teacher will not die.

    In Jesus’ name I’ve prayed.

    Before we close, let’s say a prayer for Cardi as she has brought some joy to the internet with this picture.

    Also, because she’s going to deliver her baby girl veryyyy soon.

    These are tough times.

    Things are just hard, left and right.

    Ask some people what will make them feel better, and they’ll be like

    “Just give me money. Millions please.”  We asked them to suggest ways to get these millions before August, and what did they say?

    The first person suggested you should marry a Dangote or Indimi child.

    Whether they’ll marry you is another problem though.

    Another person suggested money rituals.

    But don’t call us if your first child turns out to be a goat.

    You could also get yourself a Glucose Guardian a.k.a. Sugar Daddy and Sugar Mummy

    But are you ready to give them some sugar?

    We hear if you work really hard you can get yourself an oil bloc.

    But we don’t know if that can happen this August, maybe the August of your next life.

    At this point, we are sure you can tell that these millions will have to fall from heaven before you can get them.

    But we have good news. There is actually a way you can get these millions by August.

    Go to your nearest bar. Ask for STAR Lager Beer Limited Edition Bottle.

    Make sure it’s the Limited Edition Bottle. Nobody must stand in the way of your millions.

    Open the bottle and hold on to the crown cork. Don’t let anybody disappear with your crown cork.

    via GIPHY

    Don’t let your enemies succeed.

    You’ll see a code on the crown cork. Now dial *566*20# and enter the code you see. Follow the prompts until you redeem your prize.

    Who knows, you might be one of the people to win the ultimate 10 million naira prize. Just like that, overnight millionaire.

    If you want to win more, just declare for everybody at the bar, Star Lager, Limited Edition.

    Just don’t forget to collect your crown corks from them, and redeem more prizes.

    There’s over 400 million up for grabs, now ask yourself, how much of that money has been destined for you?

  • These Facts About Nigeria Will Blow Your Mind

    I pledge to you, that after you read this, you’d have a lot of reasons to get your PVC.

    I know, I’ve started again. But just in case, this is how to get it.

    I discovered some strange facts about Nigeria and it’s people and I couldn’t keep them all to myself.

    Because where’s the fun in that?

    I have to tell you that everything you’re about to read is 100% true.

    fight no atheism
    I’m saying it with my chest.

    Have you ever wondered if greatness could sometimes be a family thing?

    Like you can just be great because your family has symptoms of greatness ?

    So it turns out Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Professor Wole Soyinka were cousins. Two of Nigeria’s Greatest men.

    Yup, Fela’s father and Wole Soyinka’s mother were siblings.

    Ladies, according to the Nigerian “Breach of Contract to Marry”, if a man proposes to you, and suddenly calls off the marriage…

    …you can sue his sorry ass.

    In 1964, Edna Park who was Nigeria’s representative at Miss Universe fainted when her name wasn’t called as a finalist.

    The judges audacity.

    Should we talk about football for a minute?

    Ohh yeahhh

    In 1964, the Nigerian civil war had to be stopped for 2 days, because Nigerians wanted to watch Pelé play.

    You guys, Pelé is the god of Football. Argue with Maradona.

    Also, Nigeria’s first world cup goal was in 1994 and they finished Bulgaria with a sweet 3-0. The late Rashidi Yekini scored our first goal ever.

    See, sometime’s I just wish I could rewind time small.

    Let me tell you about Nigeria in the 70’s.

    You’re not ready for this, trust me.

    In the 70’s, Nigeria had one of the strongest currencies in the world.

    60kobo = $1

    In the 70’s, there was actually constant power supply in the entire country.

    I mean NEPA almost never took light. Believe it or not.

    During that same period, there were literally excess jobs in Nigeria.

    See why I said I wish we could go back in time a bit?

    Finland even used to say Nigeria was “A future world power”

    And Yakubu Gowon said our only problem is how we spend money.

    Fast forward to 2018, It was announced on the 25th of June that Nigeria has become the country with the highest number of poor people in the world. We beat India to it.

    I truly do not know what to say.

    Anyway, moving on to some weird stuff. In 2009, a goat was arrested by the Nigerian police.

    I don’t mean goat like a legend. I mean goat like goat. Animal.

    So, a man tells the police someone tries to steal his car but was caught and tried to run away. The man believed the thief turned into a goat because well, the thief disappeared.

    What’s the logical thing to do? Obviously, arrest the goat.

    While goat’s are going to jail, humans are barking to death. Okay so, In 1953, the Alaafin of Oyo visited Bode Thomas who was a Lawyer and Chairman, Oyo divisional council.

    Political brothers supporting each other.

    Things went south quickly when Bode Thomas insulted the Alaafin for standing to greet him. I mean, Sho mo age mi ni?

    As soon as the Alaafin left, Mr Bode starts barking like a dog, non stop. while he was still barking, He died the next morning.

    I’m going to end with this story most of us have probably heard before. If you’ve never heard about Daniel in the Bible.

    Let me give you a vague summary, He was a man who stayed with lions, interacted with them and came out alive.

    Daniel Abodunrin, who was a Nigerian prophet tried to recreate the story above by entering the Lions den in a zoo in Ibadan.

    They ate him up. It’s not funny.

    “Wait wait wait, Nigeria is somehow o, what’s that thing you were saying about PVC?”

    Don’t worry I got you. Just click here.
  • See Where These Nollywood Icons Are Now

    Nollywood has come a really long way, and that is greatly due to the amazing work of some iconic actors and actresses. We grew up with these stars, and we absolutely love and appreciate their work. Keeping up with them, we look at where some of them are now.

    Clarion Chukwurah

    If you ever watched Nollywood movies back in the day, there’s no way you don’t know the beautiful Clarion Chukwurah. Always playing interesting and daring roles, the award-winning actress who is also the mother of popular music video director Clarence Peters, is currently living her best life in the United States, doing great humanitarian work.

    Richard Mofe-Damijo

    Ah, RMD… Nollywood’s Denzel Washington. He’s a handsome award-winning actor and former Delta State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism. He’s still acting and on our screens, much to our delight.

    Eucharia Anunobi

    You can’t not know Eucharia. Her roles were so daring and exciting! She’s a true screen goddess. The beautiful actress is now a pastor at a church in Egbeda, Lagos.

    Saint Obi

    You should know this name, as well as the face. Obinna Nwafor, who is more popularly known as Saint Obi, is one of those Nigerian actors that you just had to look out for back in the day. He was in everything! Lucky for us, even though his main focus now is business, he still graces our screens.

    Liz Benson

    Another absolutely beautiful screen goddess, Elizabeth Benson is also a philanthropist, but best of all, she still acts!

    Pete Edochie

    Chief Pete Edochie is an award-winning actor, considered one of Africa’s most talented, and one of Nigeria’s favourites, despite his many roles as a wicked/evil man. He has given us many funny quotes and memes, and we absolutely love him! Although he no longer acts like before, we’re quite happy to know that he’s alive and doing well.

    Patience Ozokwor

    Patience Ozokwor is a musician, fashion designer, gospel singer and award-winning actress. Like Pete Edochie, she has played a lot of wicked/evil roles, but we still love her like that! She’s an evangelist now, but she still acts, to our great delight. She’s definitely one of Nigeria’s most talented actresses.

    Sam Dede

    Sam Dede is an award-winning actor, director, politician and lecturer. He has starred in such iconic movies as Issakaba and Igodo, so you just know that this man was badass back in the day! He is currently a senior lecturer of Theatre Arts at the University of Port Harcourt but still acts from time to time, and is doing quite well.

    Regina Askia

    When you think of Regina Askia-Williams, I’m sure stunning beauty first comes to mind. An ex-beauty queen, Regina shot to fame as the Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria in 1989, then went on to become an award-winning actress. She is now a family nurse practitioner in the US, a healthcare and educational activist, television producer, writer, and public speaker.

    Zack Orji

    Zachee Ama Orji was one of the ultimate baby boys that year. He is an award-winning actor, director, producer and filmmaker, as well as a pastor. He still graces our screens, and is even better than before!
  • Mikel Obi Is Our New President, You Can Have Buhari

    I’m not going to put you through suspense today. I’d get right into the story and keep it very short.

    Because, I want you to get why we have to put some respect on Mikel Obi’s name.

    In 2016, this young hero did something very commendable.

    But somehow, it wasn’t talked about enough.

    Here’s what happened. The Nigerian Olympic Team hadn’t completed their hotel bills.

    Say Hello to the Nigerian government.

    Mikel hears about this and settles the bill. Just like that. Because he couldn’t let his country look bad.

    $4,000. Just like that.

    Do you just love Mikel or what? If you don’t see a reason to love him yet, I don’t understand.

    Actually, just stop reading this. I’m serious.

    But, if you think Mikel deserves a crown for that singular act.

    Keep reading please.

    Okay so, remember the match between Nigeria and Argentina. Mikel is on his way to the stadium with the team.

    He gets a random call.

    “Mikel, Mikel, you father has been kidnapped. Can you hear me? Mikel”

    Wait, what?

    Obviously, This Is scary news. What should he do?

    Remember this is just about 4 hours till the match.

    Mikel acts like a true captain. Talks to himself and tells no one on the team because he doesn’t want it to affect the game.

    Don’t lie, if it were you, you would’ve started crying and shouting. Okay, but me I would have o.

    They played their game and even though they fought till the end, they lost to Argentina.

    Now Argentina is also out of the World Cup, did they drink from the cup? No.

    Mikel settled the issue after the match and his father has been released.

    To God be the glory

    This tragic event has happened to him more than once.

    We all need to do better. I won’t stop saying this.

    If this is not sacrifice and team spirit, I don’t know what is.

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
  • We’ve Uncovered The Mystery Behind Drake’s Son

    Ladies and gentlemen, the internet has done it again.

    Yes! We did it! We cracked the code.

    Remember Drake’s big scandal? The one that made us all aware of the fact that he has a son.

    That one Pusha T made very public. Do you remember now?

    It must have been a difficult time for Drake because till date, he hasn’t replied Pusha T, or made any interviews about the issue.

    Our poor lil Drizzy…

    Anyway, his album ‘Scorpion’ topped charts in the U.K and U.S just 2 days after its release. His fans stayed loyal through it all.

    Jokes on Pusha T, Drake is still the GOAT.

    Obviously, Drake didn’t deny having a son. His explanation was rather straight forward.

    “I wasn’t hiding my son from the world. I was hiding the world from my son.”

    Drake’s fans understood every bit of it. The world is trash anyway, you were right to do that.

    Oh, poor sweet Drake. We still love you.

    But that isn’t the mad part. Drake named his son Adonis Mahbed Graham.

    We don’t know what that means in this part of the world. We just know that’s his name.

    Let’s go back in time a bit. Remember that line from “God’s Plan” we were all singing?

    “I only love my bed and my momma, I’m sorry.”

    Well we have been fooled. The internet just made the wild discovery that Drake might have said “I only love Mahbed and my momma, I’m sorry.”

    Okay, shoot me!

    I just knew it! I knew I didn’t love my bed that much! My bed is somehow hard.

    But everyone was singing it. And I thought I loved my bed that much.

    Everyone on Twitter has agreed that if this was what Drake actually meant, this might be his smoothest line ever.

    And with that, I have nothing left to say.
  • Dino Melaye’s Most Outstanding Oscar-Worthy Moments

    Dino Melaye – you must have heard of him if you’re Nigerian. Or even if you’re not, because he’s that big of a star. Still, let me give you a brief introduction. He’s a Nigerian senator, an accomplished actor and musician, as well as the ultimate baby boy. Here’s just a few of Dino’s most iconic moments.

    Just look at that smize! This is the level of baby boy I aspire to.

    Ajekun iya ni’oje

    Ah… This one is a classic. No Dino Melaye story can be told without adding his rather iconic diss song to Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello, after it was confirmed that he is indeed, educated. The details of their battle might be fuzzy, but this song is evergreen to us.

    His entire music career.

    Just in case y’all didn’t know, Dino officially entered the music scene not when he performed ‘Ajekun Iya’ live, but when he appeared in the music video…of a hit song about himself! You can’t tell me nothing – he’s living his best life.

    Showing up in a stretcher to court.

    Moving on from music, Dino has also tried his hand at acting. This was originally his true love, and he has a few acting credits under his Gucci belt. One of his most famous and challenging roles was when he abandoned his fleet of exotic foreign cars, and pulled up to an Abuja court on a stretcher for allegedly breaking the windshield of a police vehicle and threatening to kill himself. A revolutionary.

    Jean-Claude Melaye.

    The action hero none of us realized we needed, Dino actually performs his own stunts. He was arrested in Abuja in connection to a murder case and other criminal activities, and apparently assumed he would be interrogated there. However, the police had a few tricks up their sleeves and started heading towards Kogi State. Terrified of what awaited him, Dino took a leap of faith out of the moving police vehicle.

    The Nightcrawler.

    Call me naive, but you tell me how else someone whose passport was supposedly seized could leave Nigeria and mysteriously appear in the abroad. I choose to believe he’s actually Nightcrawler because it makes no sense. Baba actually posted this picture with his chest, with the caption “Happy to be away from the joke going on in Naija today.” as his caption to really pepper Nigeria. Teach us your ways, sir.

    THIS outfit!

    Dino’s sense of style is just as vibrant as his personality. He is truly a style icon of our time. Dino actually broke the internet this day that he stepped out in designer, looking like the African Red Ranger.

    A ladies’ man.

    Although Dino has not been known for his empowerment of the Nigerian woman, he came to our defense like the knight in shining armor that he’s really not, when he went on a really shady rant on the Senate floor. Perhaps guilt-triggered by the former Edo State governor’s appeal to support more made-in-Nigeria products, Dino infamously asked Nigerians to ignore the governor, whom he said chose not to “patronise ‘made-in-Nigeria women but a foreign one”, referring to Oshiomole’s Cape Verdean wife. Yikes.

    No vex, na God.

    At the end of the day, you can’t even vex for Dino and his antics, because last last, na God.
  • It’s Been A Tough Few Weeks To Be Nigerian

    It’s a very sad time on the streets of Nigeria. The roads are silent because the people are quiet.

    There is increased tension in the air.

    On the 28th of June 2018, in Berger, Lagos, a moving petrol tanker caught fire.

    This was due to a brake failure.

    The fire outbreak not only affected the tanker.

    A large number of cars went down with the tanker.

    While some people tried to call for help or jump out as soon as they could.

    A lot of lives were lost.

    This incident happening just a few days after the Ojuelegba tragedy and the loss of lives in Plateau makes the entire country wonder.

    As it can not be asked enough

    The Lagos state Government responded to this issue as soon as they could.

    But they weren’t fast enough

    Situations like this make us question our government even more. Do they really know what the country needs or what’s best for us?

    In states like Pennsylvania, these things exist. Why are the vital things not top priority?

    An emergency unit should be close to every terminal in a city.

    To avoid worst case scenario’s like this.

    The whole of Lagos was halted as everywhere was traffic jammed. A lot of us took this opportunity to say a prayer or two for those who passed away.

    We hope their hearts light up the Heavens.

    And to the families and friends of those affected, our hearts are with you.

    We hope you find peace that surpasses everything.

    And while we pray, we need to work together to improve our standard of living, and remember to do a very important thing.

    Which starts with getting your PVC or finding out how to get it here. https://getyourpvc.com

  • The 7 Stages Of Grief You Felt With The Super Eagles Defeat

    The Nigeria vs Argentina march was tough for all of us.

    We can easily say these are trying times for everyone in Nigeria, feeling everything so deeply you know.

    We are all handling the situation differently, but however you are dealing with it, you definitely would have passed through these stages.

    If you haven’t, then don’t come to Muritala Muhammed ever.

    When that second goal by Rojo entered, you were like,

    “This is a joke. I want to see the replay. I want to see the ball actually enter. Is that the side netting? Why are my trying to talk and my voice is not working? What’s going on here? These boys will score, I know it. Look at Ighalo. Is it truly over?” Denial is your name my fren.

    When It eventually dawned on you that this was real life and absolutely no miracle could be performed. You were heartbroken.

    “Ha my chest! God please do something, please. “They’re not giving us extra time?”

    And then you start to watch replays, and listen to analysis, and your blood starts to boil.

    This is so stupid, infact this entire World Cup is just annoying. What nonsense?! THIS REFEREE IS MAD. I BLAME BUHARI. GET YOUR PVC NOW.

    Because you saw how much the boys tried and it hurt even more. You try to eat, but food is not entering your mouth.

    Grown person like me? Cry because of ball? Wazzaldiz?

    After blaming whoever you think deserves to be blamed, you come to the conclusion for the millionth time that there’s nothing you can do but live with it.

    Ha! Let’s crack some jokes all over the Internet, shall we?

    After all is said and done, you know the Super Eagle’s tried their best and Nigeria is still behind them.

    First, we’re going to win the Nations Cup, and we’re going to show them pepper in Qatar 2022.

    Did I forget to mention that Senegal is still in the tournament, so we have an African country to support?

    My name is Eniola. Al-Hadj Eniola Mane.
  • Our #ArgentinaMustGo Manifesto

    Ladies and gentlemen, grab a pen and paper. We’re about to do some serious calculations.

    We’re back to using further maths to know whether we are going to qualify. Like we’ve done with everything truly Nigerian.

    As we all know, we lost our first match against Croatia, while our boys were dancing shaku-shaku.

    But let the past just remain in the past please.

    We turned up the heat and destroyed Iceland in our 2nd Game. Melted their ice anyhow.

    If you haven’t seen it, we’re seizing your Nigerian passport.

    Now, for some reason Argentina’s Mascherano is pretty confident that they’re going to win against Nigeria today.

    But he doesn’t know what’s coming yet. He doesn’t know.

    Whatever anybody wants to say or do, one thing is for sure; ARGENTINA MUST GO.

    Put all of them inside bag, let them be going back home.

    If only our twitter prophet predicted this match like he predicted the last one.

    Prophet where are you? Please don’t wake up until you’ve dreamt o.

    Ahmed Musa has become a national treasure, and we need to protect him at all cost.

    Whatever it takes.

    While we are protecting Musa, we have to keep another individual in mind. Messi.

    Bury Messi.

    See we have three options for this game.

    Just three.

    Win!

    So that everybody can drink and be baby boys and girls.

    The second option is also quite simple. Win.

    You heard that right.

    And the third?

    We could manage a draw. Win or die on de line. Now, if you could tell the Super Eagles one thing today, what are you telling them abeg?
  • Your Ultimate Nigeria vs Iceland Survival guide

    We know we already screwed up against Croatia.

    But did we die?

    Anyway, for this match, the players have assured us they will die on the line.

    Whether home, away, out, anything, we will die on that line

    But we have some important warnings for them.

    Please read carefully

    Dear Eagles, please we don’t want to see you dance any shaku shaku today.

    Everyday shaku shaku, no goal

    I also have to add that we know you boys are buff, but the fashion show is enough please.

    Not everyday runway

    See for this game, we need you guys to actually stand. Stop falling.

    At least you have a better chance at scoring if you’re on your feet and not on the floor

    If goal is catching you, Great Super Eagles, please go to their post. You know, that’s actually where you can score a goal.

    Makes sense right?

    You also need to remember that as you’re praying, they’re also praying

    But na who play pass dey win match

    Also, before you settle down to watch this match, please make sure there’s fuel in your generator.

    Because anything could go wrong, not Nepa o.

    If you don’t have fuel in your generator , you can just enter a viewing center.

    There’d be cold Star there as well, so win win

    And if you’re watching from home, be very sure to secure a few cans of Star.

    You know, just to relax your nerves

    But whatever you do, do not be alone while watching this match.

    It is too risky, watch with your whole squad, all of them.

    If we win, then you can dance shake shake or anything else with your chest

    Yes! Super Eagles issa goal, we always believed in you boys

    And if we lose, just try to sleep it off.

    But please tell the Eagles to just stay in russia
  • The Secret life of Wizkid and Tiwa Savage

    Hi guys, I’d like for us to take a minute to talk about Wizkid and Tiwa Savage. Shall we?

    Yes I know, we’re all here for this

    There has been a lot of controversy about these two, mainly because most people aren’t sure whether or not they’re dating.

    Worry no more my friends, for I’m here to reveal the truth.

    Before we proceed, let’s quickly go back to the their first collaboration. Notice how Wizkid seemed to know his limits?

    Okay aunty, I should just sit beside you here ?

    Now, fast forward to their next song (Ma lo). We see very clearly that Starboy has become limitless . He was steady making his fellow Yoruba demon’s proud.

    Yess, That’s our boy!

    Shortly after, they start travelling together, performing together, and giving each other everlasting hugs.

    Small small oh.

    Everyday, they surprise us with their public displays of love and affection. Actually, every minute.

    Please continue oh, we are not tired.

    Now as you can see, this clearly isn’t enough proof that they’re dating. Right?

    Just relax, I’m getting to it.

    I want you to pay close attention to this video. What do you see? It’s your favourite celebrities. What are they doing? kissing. Yes, kissing.

    If you still don’t believe, then you fall under one of the categories below.

    The people who will continue to be in denial because Wizkid is their designated husband.

    I pity you, better go and look for soulmate.

    There’s also the people who just think Tiwa is too old for Wizkid and it’s impossible.

    “When she’s not a sugar mummy”

    Anyway, whatever you choose to believe it is very clear that Wizkid and Tiwa Savage are living their best lives.

    And we’re behind them 100%

    Before I finally go, I have one question. Wizkid and Tiwa Savage are kissing, Davido and Chioma are kissing, even Bobrisky and Tonto Dikeh are kissing. Who are you kissing?

    Wawu sorry I was just joking.
  • How did the Ojuelegba tragedy happen again?

    Dear friends, a lot of us are extremely upset this morning.

    I’m going to tell you why

    Yesterday, Lagosians were heading home after another long day of hustling. Some in buses, some in cars and some in kekes.

    But most just stuck in traffic, thinking of getting home to sleep peacefully.

    Generally, a lot of commercial trucks pass the Ojuelegba bridge often, some are even parked there permanently. Last night, a truck carrying plywood was among the many other vehicles on the bridge.

    It was on the line closest to the left side of the bridge.

    Remember those people stuck in traffic? They’re just right below the bridge.

    Next, you know, they look up and see a truck of wood falling right off the bridge and towards them.

    It was about to fall on their vehicles. Some didn’t even know what was happening. It all happened so fast.

    Before they knew it, the truck had fallen on 3 buses and a car. Crushing every single one of them.

    Many were trapped under the truck all night, some got badly injured.

    And sadly, 2 people passed away.

    This gets even more saddening because a very similar incident happened in Ojuelegba sometime in 2015.

    3 Nigerians passed away from that incident.

    This is making a lot of Nigerians wonder when there’d really be any change, if the same mistakes are being repeated.

    I mean, trucks with that amount of weight should definitely notbe on that bridge.

    Our hearts truly go out to everyone affected by this incident, including their family and friends.

    We truly hope Governor Akinwumi Ambode and the entire Lagos state government pay more attention to this re-ocurring issue.

    This is a very tragic event that should be prevented by all means from happening again.

    May their souls rest in peace.
  • 9 things that will surely happen this World Cup Season

    The world cup officially kicks off today! And yes, we are all excited.

    Okay, maybe not all of us

    So, I have predicted some things that have a 99.9% chance of happening almost throughout the season. Are you with me?

    You can personally come for me if I’m wrong.

    The first and most obvious thing is that your boyfriend will pay less attention to you. We’re sorry, it’s just in the football constitution.

    Baby can’t you hear me? I am talking to you. Baby? Boo? Babe?

    If you’re a twitter addict who doesn’t like football, on behalf of the entire twitter community, I apologise in advance.

    *opens twitter* “Ronaldo will finish Neymar any day”, “all of you are mad, Messi will kill all of you” *closes twitter*

    If you’re invited for Netflix and chill, abort mission! I repeat, abort!

    See, Netflix and chill will become World Cup and chill. You can risk it if you want.

    You finally reach out to google for help. Because if you know about the World Cup, he can’t ignore you anymore.

    “Dear google, who is going to win the World Cup?”

    Meanwhile, your man is suddenly realising it’s been 4 whole years since the last World Cup.

    Wawu how did I survive without you baby? how?

    But somehow he is already making noise about the next World Cup that is 1000 years away ?

    Uncle at least watch this one first

    Let’s not forget the main point of this season. People losing money to bets.

    Yes I know, I’m a fool! ha who sent me work ooo

    And the ones who will enjoy the money the guys above lost

    Don’t mess with me, do you know who I am?  Call me the bet king!

    When the World Cup is finally over and somehow they remember you exist.

    “Oh you can talk to me? I think you’re mad “
  • 8 Ways To Avoid Trouble with SARS Officials

    You know SARS right? These guys?

    The Special Anti Robbery Squad.

    Their job is to protect Nigerians, you know, keep us safe. But it turns out we have to protect ourselves from them these days.

    This is a step by step guide on how you can stay out of their trouble and  keep yourself safe .

    Step 1: If you aren’t bald yet, go and cut your hair.

    I repeat go to the nearest barber and chop it off!

    Step 2: Pick up your phone, Grab a hammer, now smash it! Don’t stop, keep smashing it.

    So when SARS says “Come on bring your phone” you can confidently say “sorry oga I don’t have”

    Step 3: This might be the hardest thing to do, but you should take my advice and destroy your car as well. Or at least give it to someone you don’t care about.

    If you don’t have a car and you take the bus, your chances of getting stopped are lower.

    Step 4: If you wear shirts, ripped jeans, sunglasses or even skirts, please do not wear it out.

    You see, they can’t say search you or say you’re dressed like a ‘yahoo boy or girl’ if you aren’t dressed at all.

    Step 5: If you carry bags, please leave them at home. Do I still have to explain why?

    When SARS asks you to bring your bag you can easily say “Sir I have nothing, I don’t even have a bag sir please sir.”

    Step 6: Just pray to God they don’t ask for your ID card.

    Because if your hair is mistakenly a bit full in that picture, well, God help you.

    Step 7: You need to develop a love for staying at home. Sit down in your house.

    Oya SARS come and meet me in my house.

    Step 8: If you have to go out, do what you have to do and leave. Just say your hello and go.

    Please do not be out for more than 30 mins before you go back into hiding.

    Finally, if you happen to follow all these precautions and they still stop you

    Just be saying “thank you for stopping me sir, I appreciate” but don’t forget to keep praying to God in your heart while you’re at it.

  • This goalkeeper has been secretly saving his teammates’ Ramadan

    See this story? We dunno if it’s funny, or cute, or inspiring.

    Please grab a seat.

    Some days ago, halfway into the match between Portugal and Tunisia, the Tunisian goalkeeper, Mouez Hassen suddenly collapsed!

    Helpppp!! Don’t let me die like this

    After a few minutes, Hassen came back looking very alright

    Yes yes I’m okay, let’s continue.

    It was that time again and the Tunisian boys were warming up

    “Ha! we will finish Portugal today” and they did score a goal after the break

    Fast forward to their next game, Hassen abruptly collapses on the pitch again!

    Uncle nawa ohhh

    This guy had a plan all along

    But just continue watching.

    The referee had no choice but to call for another break. This time we noticed some of the players were quickly eating whatever they could.

    “Guy guy abeg sharply borrow me that water”

    After investigating, it turns our guy had been faking it all along

    But why was he doing that? Was he just tired?

    Hassen was helping his teammates break their fast, because you know, Ramadan.

    Since there was really no other way. Hassen, our Hero!

    They say lying is not good in Ramadan

    Is this lying or strategic positioning though? You decide. But while you’re here, check out all the other struggles Muslims have in Ramadan.
  • God’s plan , Drake’s plan or Pusha T’s plan?

    If you don’t know about the Drake & Pusha T beef, I’m going to assume you haven’t been on the internet, because OMG!!!!

    Anywayyyy, Let me fill you in

    It started like play when we heard a diss track from Pusha T’s album, saying Drake uses ghostwriters.. which means he doesn’t write his rap?

    “The nerve, the audacity.”

    Drake clapped back, calling out Pusha’s boss Kanye West, for having ghost writers including himself and also talking about Pusha T’s fiancée

    “How did Kanye’s name enter this matter now?”

    What happens next? Pusha T says drake has been hiding a child with a pornstar. We don’t know how true this is butttt…

    …we know Drake didn’t see that coming

    We predicted some things that have probably happened since this information broke out.. For example,

    Drake has probably had to see a therapist..

    Or he’s currently having an emotional meltdown

    no no no no no no no no no noooooo

    And if the press comes near him,

    they might regret it.

    And while Drake is currently trying to figure out how to explain the situation to his fans,

    “you have to believe me guys, you have to”

    His ‘ghostwriters’ begin to realise they’d have to work overtime tonight

    ‘cos they’re getting fired if they don’t go hard on Drake’s response

    In the midst of all of this, We know that Drake’s child is definitely walking into school today like..

    Haayy OVO BABY.

    We’re all waiting eagerly for Drake’s reply and if we don’t get one,

    then our predictions are probably valid!

  • What if the Royal Wedding was a Nigerian owambe?

    The Internet went crazy for Harry and Meghan

    The royal wedding has been one of the most talked about events this year.  Not only was it just a Royal Wedding, it was Meghan Markle’s, a black woman’s wedding!
    And while the wedding was cute and all that, one thing everyone was probably asking was this; what would this wedding have looked like if it was a Nigerian one? Like, is there even a wedding if there’s no pre-wedding photoshoot?

    Just look at Meghan and Harry.

    Exhibit A: Man and woman in love, tenderly touch each other as they pose for the photo

    Now, look at our own.

    Exhibit B: Man and woman strike pose clearly illustrating what they intend to spend a lot of their time doing.

    What about bridesmaids?

    Look at this lineup. Is it really a bridal train if it can’t fill up one stadium? And can you see the colours?

    How are we not seeing people slaying in Agbada?

    Imagine all the pictures we saw of guests were Aso Ebi pictures? Just imagine Ebuka and David Beckham dragging for who rocked the Agbada better.

    How can we forget about The Unshakeable Table

    What is a Nigerian wedding without an Almighty table? The table that has all the drinks, food and small chops. Imagine Queen Elizabeth with one big bowl of Jollof Rice.

    And the bride kneeling down to greet everyone.

    Imagine Meghan walking past her mother-in-law, smiling or waving? That marriage? Cancelled.

    Everlasting photo sessions.

    Picture of couple with parents, picture of couple with ex boyfriend , picture of couple with enemies, picture of couple with dog, picture of couple with celebs, picture of couple with photographer, picture of couple with you….

    It’s My Turn.

    The main bridesmaid duty for meghan’s friends will be to meet Prince Harrys friends, because that type of blessing has to be distributed

    And who’s going to perform?

    This will be the event where wizkid and Davido finally drop a song together!

    And when it is time for marital advice?

    “and as I round up, sister Meghan, I want you to know that if your husband wants you to lick the ground you have no choice but to do it! He’s the head of the home.”

    And most importantly, an abundance of Jollof Rice.

    That everyone will still fight for because we need to keep some in the Fridge.
  • 10 baby names we’re recommending for Linda Ikeji’s baby

    These are interesting times. On one end of the Internet, everyone’s going crazy about the Royal Wedding. On another end, Nigeria’s Rockstar blogger, Linda Ikeji, has carried beleh. On one end again, Linda’s fans are pumped, knowing how much she’d always gushed about children, or adding them. Another end again, many people are wondering how the Celibacy Prefect is having a baby. In an Instagram post which has now been deleted, Linda talked about how she has no regrets, and feels really blessed. We’re happy for her too, because issa baby! So we thought, wouldn’t it be nice to recommend baby names for the cute little one? We have come up with a few names we think would suit the baby boy perfectly.

    ThankGod

    “Because is the child really from God if we don’t thank God for his goodness and blessing?” Only problem is, one of her cousins probably has this name.

    OMO

    “I mean, we already know O.B.O Baddest! Only right that we have an Omo Mama Olowo. Amen?”

    Collins

    “Lie. Lie that the first person you thought about wasn’t Don Jazzy when you heard of the baby. Just lie.”

    LIB

    Because is it truly from Linda if it doesn’t have Linda Ikeji in it? Ehn? Linda Ikeji TV, Linda Ikeji Social, Linda Ikeji Blog? Linda Ikeji Political Party? Linda Ikeji Baby for President.”

    Bonario

    “BONARIO LIVES ON. Is there a Linda Ikeji post that doesn’t have a comment from Bonario that goes “Bonario Lives On”? Should there be a moment in Linda’s life where she doesn’t think of the love she gets from her fans? She has to dedicate a baby name to the hardcore fans in the comments section. It’s only right. It’s in the constitution.”

    Ogomegbulam

    It means My Friend don’t Kill Me. This one is for all the haters. In truly Nigerian fashion, this is Linda telling them to take their hate and shove it up their ess.

    Charly

    I mean, he said he inspired the pregnancy, even though Linda said he didn’t. But, special mention. Next. 

    Oyenele

    “Onye Unele. Banana somebody Linda has come a long way hustling to make it in this jungle. Even if this just ends up being the baby’s nickname, we need to thank God for the Banana Glory”

    Linus

    “Linda. Laura. Linus. Are you getting me?”

    Otutu-Ego

    Otutuego. Plenty money. Period. Any questions? So, as a true Nigerian, you know it is your right to name somebody else’s baby. It’s in the Constitution. What name will you give Linda’s baby?
  • How I Became a Profitable Maize Farmer Overnight

    I was on the brink of giving up.

    Okay, let’s rewind a bit. I have always wanted to venture into farming, maybe it’s because I believe there is so much potential in the business. But every attempt at getting started and keeping up with it has been a serious pain.

    Who did I offend?

    First, I started out trying to cultivate maize on one acre of land and let me just tell you now, it’s not beans. The headache started with the farmer I partnered with because even though he had some experience with farming, he didn’t know too much about maize and he could have advised me on a better seed variety. At the end of the day, I waited to harvest the remaining maize and prepare to sell. What no one tells you about agriculture is the insane risk that is involved especially if your farm isn’t insured, and that’s exactly what happened to me. I didn’t insure my maize farm so I bore all the losses.
    Thankfully, I was relaying this story to a good friend of mine who had a smile plastered on his face while I was recounting this horror story of an investment. At the end of my long pitiful recount, my friend just shook his head and told me that had he had already read a lot of similar stories online and that was why he took the safer and more guaranteed route. He told me that he also had a maize farm and his farming has been nothing but smooth. He didn’t have to deal directly with farmers, because he sure didn’t have the time to train them, neither did he deal with labourers or selling the farm produce at the end of the farm cycle. I almost fell off my chair. 

    Is this real?

    So I probed further and discovered that my friend had invested in agriculture through a platform that took care of dealing directly with farmers. The farmers had hands-on training from dedicated farm specialists, they were given improved seed varieties and were always on-ground to monitor the farmers, from planting to harvest to getting off-takers for the product so that there is nothing like wasted produce or the farmer can’t sell after harvest. To say “I felt I had just been handed a hot EXPO to profitable farming in Nigeria” was an understatement. I was excited.
    So, I invested the little money I had left from my misadventure into my old maize farm and used it to sponsor maize farms on this Agric platform which I later got to know was Farmcrowdy. Of course, I still did my research and I kept seeing nothing but good reviews, coupled with my friend’s testimonial, I just went ahead. Sat down, relaxed and waited for the harvest while getting all the farm updates on my dashboard. At the end of the farm cycle, I collected my initial investment plus pure profit, without lifting a finger. I have not looked back since then and I have continued to sponsor more farms to build my personal investment portfolio in the agriculture space. My name is Nnaemeka Obinna and I am now a proud farmer because I farm on Farmcrowdy. Better to work smart, than to work hard!
  • Someone Suggested That All Fathers Should Perform DNA Tests On Their Children And Now Women Everywhere Are Triggered

    Brethren! Women online have vexed.

    And the reason will leave you shook.

    So it started yesterday on Facebook in a group where the topic of fathers performing DNA tests on their kids to confirm paternity came up. The person that brought it up, just asked for people’s opinion on the matter but women in the group took offense.

    And got Facebook to delete the group by reporting it for insensitive material.

    There is a study that says that one in every 25 fathers is not the biological father of the child they believe to be theirs.

    You didn’t know that, did you?

    This, people of God, is why women are triggered. There are women out there who have stuff to hide and don’t want their husbands getting any ideas.

    Check out some of the reactions from women. It’ll blow your mind. Like this woman that legit sent a death threat.

    FAM! She sounded serious!

    And this one woman that thought she made a valid point.

    Then there were other reactions. Like this person that has exposed the plans of husbands everywhere after seeing this.

    This person that revealed the real reason why so many marriages are still intact.

    This person that kinda gave solid advice.

    This person that insists that DNA testing is not in our culture.

    This person that doesn’t even need DNA tests.

    This joke based on real events.

    This person that is tired of all the lying and deceit.

    This person that has decided where his DNA is from without tests.

    This one about deadbeat fathers.

    Of course deadbeat fathers will want DNA tests. They’ll take any chance they get to escape responsibility. LOL

    This person that suggests you do a lot of tests…..for some reason.

    This woman that is all for DNA testing.

    This person that came to offer his bizarre services.

    And now, we leave you with this insane story/testimony.

    This world sha.

    Nawa oh.

  • Runtown Attempted a Clapback But Nigerians Are Not Interested

    Runtown Attempted a Clapback But Nigerians Are Not Interested

    A few times in the past, Nigerian celebrities have handed out some really juicy clapbacks.

    And most of those times, they absolutely killed it!

    Ah mean, just look at how Adekunle Gold jam this guy anyhow:

    So that was how Runtown too tried to do his own:

    https://twitter.com/Rouvafe/status/871849976946712576
    But Nigerians are not even in support at all.

    This guy thinks Runtown needs to go and be sleeping inside studio instead of wasting his time on Twitter:

    This one thinks the clapback was just weak:

    This one thinks Runtown needs to go and get sense so he won’t “run made over himself”:

    https://twitter.com/Vicky__U/status/871991926500864001

    This guy is just really tired of hearing that Mad Over You song:

    This one thinks Runtown’s tweet just wasn’t savage enough:

    This one thinks Runtown is the big loser and recycler:

    https://twitter.com/OlaamideA/status/871978507559153664

    Oshey! Runtown the recycling agent!

    And so, the verdict is out…

    Runtown has been found guilty of the lamest clapback in history…

    …and is sentenced to 365 days in the studio to produce another beat.

  • The Federal Government Is Worried About Increase In Homosexuality And ‘Wearing of Dreadlocks’ But The Internet Is Not Here For That

    In a country where constant electricity and a standard healthcare system – some of the most basic amenities a normal society should have- are extreme, almost unattainable luxuries, you would think the Federal governmenmt would busy itself with trying to make the country at least bearable for its citizens.

    But as Nigerians, this is what our leaders do when they are not launching questionable ‘anti-corruption’ books.

    As if this isn’t shocking enough, the federal government recently complained about the state of social values during yet another anti-corruption themed event in Abuja last week.

    Apparently, they believe gay people, ‘wearing of dreadlocks’, sagging and hair painting are having a negative impact on Nigeria’s social values.

    Speaking at the event organised by the Muslim Media Practitioners of Nigeria, The Director-General of the National Orientation Agency, Dr. Garba Abari, said: “It is pertinent to note that the advent of satellite broadcasting has continued to pose a serious challenge to our traditional culture and religious values and our identity as a people.  Our youths are now being deceived by the international media with values that are at variance with our culture and the teachings of our religion. “The wearing of tattoos, dreadlocks hairstyle, sagging trousers and the painting of hair have become a vogue among our young men and women. “Our youths are now publicly clamoring for the legalization of gay marriage and are about to boldly take the campaign to the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly to press for it as a fundamental human right.”

    But is that the work we sent them? Nigerians are expectedly angry and are raising the points:

    Are gay people and locs the reason why Nigerians don’t have light at home?

    Is fixing our problems instead of doing oversabi too much to ask of our government?

    The government could start another oversabi ‘war against indiscipline’ because #NaTheWorkWeyDemDeyDo

    At this point, one can only hope Nigeria gets the better leaders her hardworking citizens deserve soon enough.

  • Read These Surprising Tweets From Men Who Rejected Women’s Sexual Advances

    Are women better than men at facing rejection?

    When Twitter user @Tha_Mentalist theorized that there are women who find it difficult to accept rejection, I thought, ‘naw, for real?’

    So he posted a Twitter challenge to test this:

    A simple invitation: come tell a story, guys, of a time you rejected a woman’s sexual advances and her reaction afterwards.

    This has to be good!

    giphy.gif Gosh. Just look at the comments!

  • Dammy Krane Just Got Arrested In America For Credit Card Fraud And Nigerians Are Dragging Him Mercilessly

    Dammy Krane Just Got Arrested In America For Credit Card Fraud And Nigerians Are Dragging Him Mercilessly

    Brethren! Dammy krane has been arrested in the US for credit card fraud!

    Chai!

    Apparently, He tried to hire a private jet with a stolen credit card and the private jet service, Tapjets, figured this out and called the cops on him.

    The funny thing about this is, his recent posts on Instagram show him living large and taking pictures in private jets, with some of his followers even hailing him in the comment section.

    Which just proves that this young man got involved in credit card scams just so he could show off for the gram.

    Because this is another case of a person who felt the need to project a lifestyle he obviously can’t afford, Nigerians feel no pity for him and are dragging him online.

    Let’s start with this girl that listed out all his crimes

    This person that gave Nigerian artistes sound advice.

    This person that gave all Nigerians sound advice.

    This tweet by EFCC’s official account.

    #WordsToLiveBy

    Then of course the jokes started. There was this tweet that had a plot twist.

    This tweet about his mugshot.

    This freaking hilarious video that has the most appropriate soundtrack ever.

    https://t.co/1AFZyG3tR6

    This tweet about inner demons.

    This tweet that contained advice for Dammy Krane.

    Dammy Krane once posted a picture he took with rapper, Sauce Kid (who has also been in trouble with the law for grand theft) and referred to him as “his mentor”. Because of that, someone tweeted this.

    We’d watch this tbh.

    This person concerned about Dammy’s career.

    After the news of his arrest got online, Dammy Krane tweeted this……..

    …….so someone tweeted this.

    This person that put the pieces together.

    This person that spoke a sad truth.

    Someone even made this.

    Where is the chill?! Lmao!

    Then there was this person that looked on the bright side of everything.

    We wish we had her optimism.

    People please, learn something from this.

    Cut your coat according to your size. You should not feel the need to show off for anybody.

    There Is A Petition To Stop Harassment In Lagos Markets And We’re All Very Proud

    A group of people have written a petition to the Lagos State House of Assembly to take action to stop harassment in Lagos markets.

    The petition was submitted on the 30th of May and we could not be happier.

    Particularly for those who have been victims at one point or the other and guys who have witnessed the harassment first hand.

    Like this guy who legit went hulk on the guy trying to harass his wife at the market.

    And for this woman who has gone through what many women go through daily:

    Someone cannot even shop in peace again:

    Really, these streets aren’t safe, especially for women:

  • Pete Edochie’s Son Has Domestic Violence Advice from His Childhood That The Internet Thinks Is Rubbish

    Pete Edochie’s Son Has Domestic Violence Advice from His Childhood That The Internet Thinks Is Rubbish

    Domestic Violence is a serious social issue.

    And after many years of it being swept under the carpet, Nigerians are finally facing it.

    Thanks to social media, we’re hearing of more cases, speaking up about those cases and even getting justice for the victims.

    But as much as social media has served as a platform for advocates to speak up against Domestic Violence, it has also served as a means for different people who feel like they know shit to come and spit what they think is “wisdom” in our eyes.

    Suddenly, everybody thinks they know the golden rule to stopping domestic violence once for all.

    So when Pete Edochie’s son, Yul Edochie, also started dropping them tips like it was hot eba, the Internet went:

    In the gospel according to Yul, Domestic Violence can be stopped if the woman learns to “zip up”, among other things:

    But we’re having a hard time understanding what he is saying.

    Is respect not supposed to be reciprocal?

    And how about we stop using that “We are Africans” thing as an excuse for nonsense?

    Can we NOT use culture to hide our wrongdoing?

    Why does it have to be the woman’s job to keep the peace?

    And really, if keeping quiet worked for his mother, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for every woman.

    In finality, his advice is really not wanted.

  • Arsene Wenger Just Signed A New Two-Year Contract To Stay On As The Coach Of Arsenal And The Reactions Are Hilarious

    Arsene Wenger just signed a new 2 year contract to stay on as Arsenal’s coach.

    LOOOOL! If you’re not a football fan, we will explain why this is funny.

    Arsenal has been losing it recently. They dropped out of the top four.

    Basically they’ve been terrible. Life hasn’t been easy for Arsenal fans.

    Naturally, they wanted him gone.

    So much work went into that banner. LOL

    So when the word got out that Wenger had signed a new deal to stay on for TWO more years, fans were furious.

    But the deal is done.

    No amount of shouting will change anything now.

    That didn’t stop fans from going online to voice their frustrations sha.

    Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers. Lol

    Let’s start with this tweet that contained a kinda stupid but low key funny joke.

    This tweet from this person that is obviously not an Arsenal fan.

    This person that came to make fun of people.

    This tweet from this person that has vexed

    This tweet from this asshole

    This person is an asshole because Wenger has been the coach of Arsenal since 1996! Lol

    This idiot that just came to cause confusion

    Lmao!

    This person that has accepted the club’s fate.

    This tweet with the plot twist.

    Regardless of the fact that they just lost to Arsenal, Chelsea fans seem to be happy about Arsene’s new contract.

    ARSENE FOREVERRRRRRRRR!

    Death probably won’t stop him. Dude will come back as a zombie.

    Arsenal fans, y’all should chill.

    Ikr!

    The satellite will be launched in partnership with four other countries; Japan, Ghana, Mongolia and Bangladesh, and would be launched into space from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA.

    The Nigerian CubeSat, which is called; NigeriaEdusat-1, is designed, built and owned by the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in collaboration with National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) Abuja, Nigeria and Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan.

    The satellite is going to be launched on Thursday June 1st at 10:55pm and it is the first ever university owned satellite to be launched in Nigeria.

    WAWU! To infinity and beyond!

    Which should mean a lot of Nigerians should be doing like this:

  • This Former Governor’s Wife Is Getting Dragged Online For The Bizarre Makeup She Wore To An Event

    The Lagos History Lecture, one of the events held to celebrate Lagos at 50, took place on the 24th of May 2017. One of the many prominent people in attendance was former governor of Imo and Lagos state, Nduibisi Kanu.

    Military governor of Imo state from 1976 – 1977 and military governor of Lagos from 1977 to 1978.

    At his side was his wife, Gladys Nduibisi-Kanu. That is who we’re really here to talk about. This is a picture of them from the event.

    This picture was put up by Dele Momodu on his Ovation Instagram page a couple of days after the event. Do you see what’s funny here? No? Okay we’ll tell you.

    CHECK OUT THAT FACE BEAT! Let’s zoom in and take a closer look. Madam clearly went to that event prepared to slay left and right.

    She went to that event casket ready! LOL

    In a normal world, no one would care about this but we don’t live in a normal world and we live in Nigeria so after this picture surfaced, everyone collectively asked this question.

    And then immediately began to drag her. Let us start with this person that voiced the first thought that came into our minds after seeing this.

    This person that genuinely believes that there is treachery afoot.

    This person that wonders if Dele Momodu was trying to throw shade by releasing this picture.

    This person that kinda spoke the truth.

    This person that thinks the makeup artist should face legal action.

    This person that gave the woman sound advice.

    We here at Zikoko also have a couple of theories of what look exactly Mama Gladys was going for that day.

    There’s a chance she was trying to look like The Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland.

    In which case she nailed it.

    Or maybe she was trying to look like Johnny Depp from Sweeney Todd.

    Wow. She really has a thing for Johnny Depp characters sha.

    The Corpse Bride from the The Corpse Bride.

    Bobrisky

    It sure looks like they both use Tony Montana powder as foundation.

    Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas

    Squint and you’ll see the resemblance.

    This low budget Nollywood ghost.

    Maybe the leprosy look is really in right now.

    You know what? We take it back. Morticia Addams is too fabulous to be dragged into this.

    After delivering that Democracy Day speech from yesterday (where is President Buhari though?), news is agog today with this interesting video from Osinbajo:

    The TL;DR version is this: “The World Bank and the AFDB have raised a fund to enable Nigerians get mortgages to own homes.’

    DID YOU HEAR THAT? If you can pay N30,000 every month, you too can own a home in Nigerian home!

    This is all so exciting, atink, but Nigerians are like ‘er, hang on a minute.’

    The emojis reflect disbelief

    Then there’s this brief comment
