  • How To Recognise Married Nigerian Men Without Their Rings

    I think by now we all know Nigerian men are mostly quite crafty, especially when it comes to relationships and women.

    You’d think it would be just the single men, but the married men are outchea wilding as well.

    It’s like they truly believe these are the last days of seven women to one man, even though there are more men in the world now.

    The greedy men don’t care about their single brothers. No o. They just want to chop dey go and kobalize somebody’s daughter.

    Shey, it would even be easier to spot who is who, but these married men have now decided to be removing their rings.

    After many shattered hearts and dreams, Nigerian women have had to master their ways. Sholo stupid ni.

    We’ve figured out a way to help you single ladies recognize when a married man is moving to you, even when he’s not wearing his wedding ring.

    The jig is up.

    When you go his house and you notice that it’s suspiciously bare, my dear flee, that man is married.

    No personal effects, no pictures lying around. House looking like someone took their time to make sure that nothing could be traced. Hmm…

    If he has been married long enough whether he puts on his ring or not, you’ll notice a patch of lighter skin around his ring finger.

    Make sure you look out for it, he can hide his ring but he can’t hide his marriage.

    Sometimes he might even just move the wedding ring to another finger and claim it’s just a random ring.

    Don’t be deceived, that’s his wedding ring.

    You’ll notice that he’s slightly balding, slightly pot-bellied and looks suspiciously close to your father’s age but he’ll still try to convince you that he’s not married.

    My dear don’t listen to him, pick up your bag and run away. That daddy is a married man with four children and one of them might even be your age.

    You’ll also notice that he really doesn’t like coming out in the daytime.

    Na so so night waka in hidden places. He doesn’t want his wife’s family and friends to catch you people together.

    When you ask him if he’s married and he’s too quick to say no, my dear that man has already taken someone else to the altar.

    Before you even say ‘mar…’, he’ll have said: “Me ke, never o, I’m still searching for the right woman, maybe it’s you”.

    You’ll notice signs of a female presence in his house that’s always conveniently a sister or a cousin but you’ll never meet said sister or cousin.

    His wife is in the overseas for summer and he’s only using you as summer bae.

    For some reason he has refused to invite you over to his house.

    You’ve also noticed that he can only leave his house at certain times. Anything past 9 and he starts panicking about how he has to go home as if he has a curfew.

    Finally, the easiest thing to do is look him up on the internet.

    Even if he has covered his tracks, his wife and children haven’t. You are bound to find someone’s facebook page.
    My sisters, if you have any other tips for us, please share o! Before we go and enter one chance. Tweet us @zikokomag!
  • This Is The Ultimate Nigerian Wedding Food Lineup

    Whether you do it in your father’s village or it’s a destination wedding in Dubai, no Nigerian wedding can be complete if the menu doesn’t include these dishes.

    Small chops

    It’s written in the Nigerian constitution that you must serve small chops as a starter at your wedding.

    Jollof rice

    We’ve not done proper research but it might be a criminal offense not to serve Jollof rice at your wedding. In fact, it’s just unheard of. And if it’s not firewood Jollof it doesn’t count.

    Moin-moin

    What’s jollof rice without spicy leaf wrapped moin-moin to go with it?

    Fried rice

    A standard plate of Nigerian wedding food has Jollof rice on one side and Fried rice on the other. The two just compliment each other.

    Coleslaw and/or dodo to go with the rice.

    Do you expect your guests to just be eating rice and meat like that? You have to garnish the rice with either coleslaw or dodo, and if you are feeling generous you put the two.

    Ofada Rice & Ayamashe Sauce

    Jollof and fried rice are great and all but it’s when the Ofada comes out that the real party starts.

    Amala and ewedu

    This is for your guests who are ready to wash hand and lose their home training. Make sure you garnish the ewedu and gbegiri with assorted

    Pounded yam and efo riro

    Emphasis on ‘pounded’ yam, poundo yam doesn’t count. Hot and fresh pounded yam must be on your Nigerian wedding food menu.

    If you are feeling generous you can add ‘Chinese rice and sauce’ just to give your wedding some international exposure.

    For all your ajebo guests.

    Did we leave anything out?

  • All The Stages Of A Nigerian Job Interview

    Nigerian job interviews are not for the faint-hearted. If you’ve ever been to one you’ll know exactly what we are talking about.

    It all starts with waiting for them to even call you for the interview after you send in your application

    Hope you people haven’t forgotten me o.

    Then you finally get the email you’ve been waiting for “Dear Miss. Ayo we are please to inform you that…”

    Just look at God

    Then reality starts to set in and you remember that getting called for the interview doesn’t mean you’ll automatically get the job.

    How many people even applied for this same job.

    You start researching the company and the role you applied for as if you are getting ready to write JAMB again.

    Sleep is only for those with jobs.

    The morning of the interview you ginger yourself.

    Nobody deserves this job more than you.

    You get to the reception and spend thirty minutes waiting for the receptionist to show you where to wait while she’s playing Solitaire on her laptop

    Your ginger starts to slip when you walk into the office and it looks like this.

    Wait all of you are here for this same job?

    You start prepping yourself when you hear other applicants talking about their own applications.

    Only one person will have B.Sc, M.Sc, Phd, MBA  while you only have B.Sc and you finished with a third class.

    At this point is not as if you are panicking o but this how your shirt will look.

    Maybe I should just be going home instead of wasting my time.

    As you are trying to calm yourself down the door to the interview room opens and you see the applicant just be for you laughing with the interviewers.

    Plis what’s funny?

    You walk into the interview room and try and gauge the interviewers.

    This is how they look back at you.

    Then one of them asks you a question you know nothing about and you start stuttering as if you didn’t go to school.

    After preparing overnight.

    You try to crack a joke to lighten up the atmosphere and they start looking at you like you are a joker.

    So you think you are a comedian abi? You think you are basketmouth? We are sorry for you.

    How you wait for a call back after the interview.

    You’ll start vexing more than usual when you get spam callers.

    When you finally get a call back and they give you the good news, you got the job.

  • These Dances Brought Out The Craziness In Nigerians

    Nigerians love to dance, for sure! From time, we’ve always come up with amazing moves to go with catchy tunes, but I’m going to tell you about some of the most popular ones from say, the last twenty years, and the artists that made them so popular.

    Makossa

    If you’re Nigerian, you’ve definitely bust this move before. No need to talk too much. This move that Awilo Logomba popularised over Nigeria and other parts of Africa like a virus! You’ll definitely still see a few people do this dance.

    Galala

    Hoo mai gosh, Daddy Showkey was a beast with the galala! He had everyone and their uncle trying to do it, even though we all knew it was for the more flexible of us. Still, this is another move that still creeps into modern Nigerian dance.

    Suo

    Suo came in and booted galala out of the game. Popularised by Marvellous Benjy, this move curiously resembles the movement you make when pulling a generator. Anyhow, the song and dance became extremely popular, and live to this day.

    Yahoozee

    Olu Maintain came with the Yahoozee song and the accompanying dance, and Nigerians went crazy! Although it’s not so popular these days, the dance spread like wildfire.

    Alanta

    Loool this is actually a dance of madness, and Artquake made sure that Nigerians caught the bug. Moving like you’re putting a fire on your clothes out, this is still done today!

    Etighi

    Even though Etighi is a traditional dance from the Calabar/Akwa Ibom region of Nigeria, a lot of people didn’t know this until Iyanya came and spread it across Nigeria with his song, Kukere. It burned really brightly but died just as quickly.

    Skelewu

    Kindly brought to us all by Davido, he taught us how to do this move which quickly caught on, especially because of his similarly titled, catchy song.

    Shoki

    Lil Kesh really made his mark with this one. This shoki dance and song spread like a viral infection. Still one of the most expressive and creative dances, shoki took over all other Nigerian dance steps.

    Shaku Shaku

    This one, we’re still in the middle of. Popularised by such songs as ‘Shepeteri’ and ‘Legbegbe’, all you need to be able to do this is a lot of coordination and a lot of creativity. Not much.
  • You’ll Find These People In Every Nigerian Office

    Whether you work in a small office or a big corporation, you’re definitely going to meet all sorts of people. Here are 10 types of people you probably have in your office right now! 

    1. Early birds/night owls

    You know, those people that are always the first in and last out. The ones that’ll have you wondering if there is someone chasing them from their houses. You’re making the rest of us look bad, uncle!

    2. Perpetual latecomers

    Loool those ones that can’t be on time to work unless by a divine act of God. They are usually the most creative people because they have to come up with a new lie every day.

    3. Style icons

    These ones don’t come to play; they come to slay. Our colleagues that even on casual Fridays wear three-piece suits and six-inch heels with full makeup. You’ll just be looking at them and thinking “you have power o…”

    4. Always sleepy

    These ones are always ‘offline’. Small quiet like this, or if the boss steps out, they’re already making their way to dreamland. It’s an amazing something.

    5. Chatterboxes

    The ones that if you mistakenly even look their way, they will start talking about any and everything. Just shoot me!

    6. Forever cold

    Even if it’s 80 degrees outside, there is always that one colleague that is always cold. Always. Any small thing “please put off the AC now. You want to kill somebody?”

    7. Office gossip

    The way these ones are always gathering and spilling tea, you just have to wonder how they get anything done. You’ll even start to fear them because their powers are too great for you to comprehend.

    8. Salespeople

    Then we have the salespeople. The ones who have great entrepreneurial spirits and are always selling one thing or the other. They’ll try to sell every useless trinket, and try to pressure or guilt you into buying. No, bro.

    9. Assistant boss

    These are the guys that once given a little responsibility, let it get to their head and they start feeling like the boss. If I slap you ehn, your swollen head will reduce.

    10. Ghost worker

    Now, these ones are the people that if you see them in your office, you wonder if there’s a new employee, even though they’ve been working there for 3 years. They’re so quiet and reserved, they’re pretty much invisible. Ghosts.
  • To Serve Our FatherLand…Or Not?

    Welcome to this Episode of “This is Nigeria”. Today, we would be placing our focus on our Minister of Finance.

    Mrs. Kemi Adeosun

    For those who aren’t Nigerians. Let me quickly explain something to you. There is a program called NYSC.

    National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)

    In Nigeria, after your university education, it is mandatory that you serve your country through this said program.

    Without doing this program, you won’t be qualified to get a job or run for political posts.

    Now, let me give you a brief history on our Minister of Finance just before we connect the dots to this story.

    She went to school in the Polytechnic of East London where she graduated at the age of 22.

    She didn’t move back to Nigeria immediately, so obviously she couldn’t serve her country immediately.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that as long as you graduate before 30 you are mandated to serve at any time.

    She got a job after graduating and changed jobs over 5 times from 1989 when she graduated up until 2000.

    Wow, she must be really hardworking.

    She moved back to Nigeria in 2002 when she got offered a job in a private company. Finally, she gets a chance to serve her fatherland.

    But no, she came back and didn’t partake in the program.

    Her career skyrocketed to the point where she became Nigeria’s Minister of Finance.

    Such goals!

    Nigerians have ears everywhere and know everything. I promise you. Because they were able to dig out the fact that Mrs. Adeosun never served Nigeria.

    But she is serving as the Minister of Finance? How?

    For some reason, she has a certificate. And a lot of people have come to the conclusion that its a fake one.

    At least until Mrs. Kemi can prove otherwise.

    Its very important to talk about it because the average Nigerian can’t get a job without having done NYSC.

    And you can even face jail time for not participating in this program. It’s that important.

    With all of this in mind, I just want you to know that there is a high possibility our Minister of Finance did not serve her fatherland.

    But no worries, once she speaks up about it. I’d let you know.

  • We’ve Found The Cure To Your Baby Fever

    Ever see a picture like this and think to yourself ‘I just can’t wait to have my own baby’.

    Well, the next time one of these kind of pictures comes your way, these ten things will make you close your eyes.

    First of all cerelac is expensive.

    You yourself are you eating three times a day, yet you want to go and look for another mouth to feed.

    Pampers is also expensive and you can use up to ten in one day.

    Let’s even forget the price for a second first. Imagine having to look at, smell and change this all day every day.

    From socks to baby stroller there is nothing that’s not expensive.

    So take a look at your account balance are you really ready for a baby?

    Can you even afford school fees?

    Sit down and do the maths well. You’ll pay school fees for nursery school, primary school, secondary school, university and maybe even masters. Can you really afford it?

    Sleep will become a thing of the past.

    You’ll be lucky if you even get up to 4 hours a night.

    If your house used to look like this before.

    All clean and sparkling.

    From the moment you have a baby this is how it’ll start looking.

    Don’t even bother trying to do something about it, nothing will work.

    What of all those night outs with friends?

    Dead and gone. You are back to being a teenager with a curfew.

    Before you have your own baby spend the whole day with someone else’s child.

    Remember that feeling of relief you had when you returned the baby to its owner? Yeah, you’ll never have that again. There is nobody to return anything to.

    Ever seen a birthing video before?

    Please go and watch one then come back and tell us if you still want to have a baby.

    Now that you are done with this list do you still want a baby?

    Yeah, we didn’t think so.
  • These Are The Funniest Nigerian Political Party Logos We’ve Ever Seen

    Politics in Nigeria is forever a source of humour for us. With the likes of Dino Melaye occupying seats of power, it’s a wonder this country is still running. When it comes to Nigerian politics and humour though, one of the funniest things we’ve come across in a while are these political party logos:

    Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP)

    We tried our hardest to decipher this logo but we still have so many questions. Why is a plant growing out of the laptop? Why is the laptop in a map of Nigeria?

    Sustainable National Party (SNP)

    We thought very hard about it and we couldn’t come up with a single reason a bell will be used as a party logo. Must be closing time.

    United Democratic Party

    There’s nothing you want to tell us. Whoever came up with this logo just went home and told their child to draw anything on paper then used it as party logo.

    Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM)

    Please, what’s the torchlight for? Is it to remind us that there is no light in Nigeria? Are they trying to shine a light on Nigeria? What does it mean?

    All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)

    We know how much Nigerians love anything that signifies enjoyment but we don’t understand what a chicken is looking for on a political party’s logo.

    All Progressives Congress (APC)

    We’ve always wondered what APC’s broom signified. Over the last three years, we’ve discovered that their plan is to sweep all Nigerians out of the country. How else will you explain the rate at which Nigerians are leaving the country under this government?

    National Conscience Party

    We don’t know which is funnier, the name of this political party or the logo. As if any Nigerian politician has a conscience. If you don’t close your eyes there.

    Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN)

    No political party logo vexed us as much as this one. Where is the light to put on the light bulb? They should have just put a generator next to it so we know they are serious.

    Re-build Nigeria Party (RBNP)

    We are willing to bet this month’s salary that this logo was picked out of one of those old Macmillan textbooks.

    Fresh Democratic Party (FDP)

    What does the clock signify? Why is the time at 8 o’clock? Was that the exact time Okotie had his vision of becoming the president of Nigeria?

    New Generation Party of Nigeria (NGP)

    This is how you know the people who don’t want us to progress. 2018 but you don’t want us to be using AC to cool ourselves. We should still be using hand fan? In the end —all these parties, relevant or not, ugly logos or not, the one thing that gets to decide whether or not we keep them or kick them, is getting your PVC.  If you still haven’t gotten yours, do you really want Nigeria to be better? If you are confused as to how to go about it then check out our handy guide to getting your PVC here.
  • If Your June Salary Has Finished This One Is For You

    If you are anything like us and you lack self-control and home training then your June salary has probably finished and you are currently going through these struggles with us.

    They just paid salary last week but your account balance is confusing you.

    Wait but did someone rob me?

    This is you trying to calculate how you are going to feed for the month of July after looking at your account balance.

    This is the perfect month to start 30 days dry fast.

    You start thinking back to how you were flexing like there was no tomorrow during salary week.

    Yours is now a case of had I known.

    As you are trying to calculate how you’ll find money to pay your NEPA bill one family member calls you to remind you to send something for the month.

    It’s a little too late for that.

    You start to notice that any small thing suddenly makes you unnecessarily angry.

    Your colleague will tell you good morning and you’ll ask them what’s good about the morning.

    You start counting down again to salary week and wonder why the days are going by so slow.

    Time moves slower when you are broke – Albert Einstein

    Your taste in things will suddenly drop. You’ll start buying puff puff instead of pancakes.

    You’ll start to realize that you actually like cooking and you don’t even like eating out like that. Who knew.

    You’ll suddenly remember all the people that are owing you money and start hitting them up.

    It’s time to collect your money back from that your colleague that needed 200 naira change for bus. Abi did he think it was dash?

    You’ll start appreciating the little things like the fact there’s water dispenser in your office or your parents live an hour away so you can go and beg for food.

    Isn’t the Lord good?

    You also start to seriously rethink your priorities in life.

    Do you really need to pay for internet this month? Shebi office WiFi is there?

    Long story short, July is about to be a very difficult month but we are here to tell you that last last you won’t sha die before they pay your July salary. 

    Stay strong.
  • We Are Sure You Heard These Horror Stories As A Child

    We don’t know who started them or where most of them or where they originated from but we remember that these stories gave us sleepless nights.

    For those who went to boarding school you definitely remember madam koi koi the dead teacher who came back to haunt boarding school students in red heels.

    We don’t know how the same teacher reached all the boarding schools in Nigeria o.

    That if you beat a boy with a broom he’ll become impotent.

    We don’t even know how the two are connected.

    Did you ever hear the one about how drinking coconut water will make you a dullard.

    We still don’t drink it sef  better safe than sorry.

    That if you eat fish eye too you will also become a dullard.

    Remember how we used to sing oju eja lo mo je.

    When you eat mango after drinking garri or coke you’ll die immediately.

    Has anyone tried this one yet because we are still afraid?

    When you see this bird you’ll get white crests on your fingernails.

    How did we even believe this?

    Anyone who sleeps with their legs on the wall is a witch.

    In fact if your leg is on the wall that means you are at your weekly meeting.

    If you swallow orange seed or even any fruit the plant will start growing in your stomach

    We really want to know who started this one.

    If you swallow chewing gum by mistake it’ll tie up your intestines.

    Don’t lie you started crying the first time you swallowed chewing gum by mistake.

    Snakes will come to your house when you whistle at night.

    Even our parents believed this one.
  • 12 hilarious ways Nigerians describe sex without using the word sex

    Nigerians love sex. We like to act like we don’t but Mama Nkechi who lives next door has 12 children. But the most hilarious thing about Nigerians and sex is the many ways we’ve learned to describe it without using the word ‘sex’.

    Knacks

    This one is Nigerians’ favourite.

    Mekwe

    What does this even really mean?

    Kpansh

    We have a theory about the origin of this one.

    Polash

    Bet you’ve never heard this one before.

    Straff

    Anyone who went to uni in Nigeria knows this one.

    Yarnsh

    Apparently, this doesn’t mean just bum bum.

    Konji

    We all know this one sha…”konji na bastard”

    Smash

    Smash what exactly?

    Kpekus

    This one will always sound funny to us.

    Frap

    This one reminds us of  ‘frapas’.

    Bone

    When I was small I thought this meant just ‘vex’.

    Shag

    Secondary school students used to feel smart using this word to replace sex.

    Did we leave anyone out?

  • All the stress that comes with living with Nigerian relatives

    Nigerians are badly behaved but no one is more badly behaved than family members living with you.

    When they came over when you were a kid and there was no space for them so your parents bounced you out of your room

    There are mosquitos in the parlour now

    When a 2 week visit turns into a 2 year visit and you start wondering who the real owner of your house is

    Oya you people had better start paying rent

    When you go and spend a holiday with a family member and they turn you into the house help

    This is not what you people promised me o

    When you are complaining about spending double on food and the 8 relatives living with you unlook

    It’s like you people are mad

    Never make the mistake of asking them when they are going to leave your house

    So you are chasing us out of your house?

    How they show up at your door without notice

  • Nigerians Are Dragging This American Singer For “Stealing” Phyno’s Song

    Nigerians Are Dragging This American Singer For “Stealing” Phyno’s Song

    It is a fact, Nigerians on social media are savage and have zero chill. If you come for them, they will drag you all over the face of the Internet.

    Which is what they are doing to a certain American singer.

    So here’s what happened:

    A couple days ago, this American singer, Pia Mia (not to be confused with Ota Pia Pia) released a song titled, “I’m a fan” with another singer, Jeremih.

    The problem was, Phyno also had a song with the same title released in an album late last year.

    Yes o. But that’s not all.

    Pia Mia’s song was now very similar to Phyno’s song. In fact, eez like almost the same thing.

    It’s very true o.

    And naturally, when Nigerians found out they started shouting.

    “THIEF! THIEF! THIEF!”

    They first proved that something fishy was going on.

    Then trolled the poor girl’s page and refused to leave.

    They screamed “OLE!” from the rooftops.

    And even followed Ota Pia…sorry Pia Mia on every social media platform in order to sufficiently DRAAAG her.

    They even dragged poor Jeremih together with her.

    But is it his fault? No be collaboration dem call am to collaborate?

    But the funny thing with all of this dragging is that the song sef is not even really Phyno’s own.

    Appaz, he collected the song from somebody.

    Who now later sold it to Pia Mia.

    You can read the whole thing here sha.

    That is to say, Nigerians have just been shouting for nothing.

    No wonder even Phyno sef no put mouth talk. E just put smiley face on top of Twitter as if to say e just dey observe.

    Nigerians like to just drag people anyhow. That is how they dragged Naija Employers too:

  • Bella Hadid Likes Anthony Joshua But Nigerians Are Not Having It

    Nigerians love famzing their celebrities. Especially the ones that help them shine.

    So when Anthony Joshua won the world heavyweight championship last month, it didn’t matter that he was playing for Britain, the title was very much for Nigeria as well.

    I mean, the Federal Government was all set to invite him to Nigeria and everything.

    And maybe even give him an award while their at it.

    So it is no surprise then that Nigerians are taking this “Bella Hadid likes Anthony Joshua…a lot” thing very personal.

    And they are not even hiding their disapproval at all.

    This one has a simple message for Bella…Unlike. Fast.

    For this guy, it’s not even a good combination at all and AJ needs something better than Bella.

    Ouch.

    This one has turned herself to AJ’s mother.

    And this one is trying to send Bella back to the Weeknd.

    This one wants to do prayer and fasting on AJ’s behalf.

    But why y’all Nigerians gotta be so savage?

    Meanwhile this one has taken the thing very personal:

    But it’s no surprise how personal Nigerians took this though. Especially with the way everyone reacted with the Justine Skye and Wizkid thing.

    In other celebrity gist, here’s the very weird answers to all our “Where is Buhari?” questions:

    People sent him love, money and so many WhatsApp messages that his phone started to slow down

  • This One Is For Everyone Who Is Addicted To Soft Drinks

    This One Is For Everyone Who Is Addicted To Soft Drinks

    Things are happening in this our Nigeria

    It appears that the Nigerian Bottling Company (manufacturers of Fanta, Sprite and Coca-cola in Nigeria) have been doing us plenty wayo

    Apparently locally produced Sprite and Fanta are actually poisonous when taken with Vitamin C

    And the soft drinks contain dangerous levels of benzoic acid and sunset additives

    One Mr Fijabi attempted to ship large quantities of soft Fanta and Sprite to the United Kingdom in 2007, but they were declared unfit for consumption by health authorities in the Department of Environment and Economic Directorate because of a high level of cancer-causing substances. The goods were destroyed and Mr Fijabi sued NBC  for damages in 2008.

    But NBC says their product is fit for ‘local consumption’

    So we should be ingesting poison because we are not Oyinbo?

    In a court ruling on Monday,13th March, a Federal High Court Judge said the soft drinks should be fit for consumption by anyone irrespective of race or creed. She also ruled that:

    That NAFDAC shall forthwith mandate Nigeria bottling company to, within 90 days hereof, include on all the bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks manufactured by the company, a written warning that the content of the said bottles of Fanta and Sprite soft drinks cannot be taken with Vitamin C as same becomes poisonous if taken with Vitamin C.Justice Adedayo Oyebanji

    People are asking why the coloring is so different

    What of people that can’t use drugs without adding one bottle of Fanta?

    Are we not finished like this?

    As for NAFDAC, we have one thing to say to you

    Stop selling our souls to the devil!
