Now that controversial presidential candidate, Donald Trump, is President of the USA, we can definitely expect hundreds of shocking news stories. These are some of them:

2. “Donald Trump Says Theresa May Needs To Visit A Salon, And Leave The Work To Real Men”
3. “Donald Trump Attends Kanye West’s Concert, Raps On Stage With Him”
4. “Donald Trump Repaints The White House To Gold, Renames It Trump Towers 2”

7. “Donald Trump Builds A Wall Round Mexico, Sends Bill To Mexico”
8. “President Trump Makes Melania Trump His Chief Bullying And Trolling Officer”
9. “President Trump Announces Everything Was Just A Prank, Says Hilary Clinton Is Real President”
With the quick and global spread of technology, the most sensible thing for any country to do is to make data cheaper so it’s citizens can get east access to the internet. But unfortunately, not in Nigeria. The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on November 29, ordered an increase in data tariffs, simply because there is an ‘unhealthy price competition’ between network providers
This ridiculously senseless price hike obviously didn’t meet Nigerians well.
So, now we know why the NCC has increased price of data, I have one sentence for them:
It’s totally okay if you’ve never heard of the Winter Olympics before, very few Nigerians have. And it’s no surprise that it’s not popular around these parts; African countries rarely participate because only a handful experience snowy weather.
But for the first time in history, 3 Nigerian women are determined to take the country to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Houston-based Seun Adigun, who represented Nigeria in the 2012 Olympics, is the driver aspirant for the Nigerian Women’s Bobsled team. Her teammates are Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga.
This is a fine and brave move, but there’s a catch. They need funds to get to the Olympics, so they’ve set up a go-fund-me for anyone who wants to donate to the cause.
The trio will need funds for practice and winter gear among other things. Visit Adigun’s go-fund-me page to learn about her story and inspiration and for donations.
We can all make history together with a little giving. Thanks to these awesome women, Nigeria will make it’s debut at the Winter Olympics.
Street harassment is one of the most annoying/disrespectful things Nigerian women go through regularly. If you’ve ever gone to Yaba market, you will understand how disrespectful most of the traders are, especially towards women.
Upset by what women go through in the hands of these men, Twitter user, UPNEPA, asked women to share their stories.
some hawker commented on my glasses, I said thanks, he tried to touch me, I told him not to even, he started yelling that 'he'd fuck me'😩😂 https://t.co/gI1q2hRffA
Ikeja under bridge asked if I wanted to do breast enlargement then commented and my small Yansh but how smallies re good in bed. https://t.co/LwyhhjsLBU
@ yaba market,a guy just passed by me nd started making a list of styles he would try on bed with me, i just said "are u ok?"……1 https://t.co/9uyDmQgRnA
The fact that Nigerian women continue to be publicly harassed and disrespected by certain men shows how low society generally regards women. Women should be able to move freely and safely regardless of whatever outfit she has on. Women must be seen as human beings, not objects that can picked on, talked down on and tossed aside. We all have a responsibility to speak and act against any form of assault around us.
Incase you don’t know (or currently living under a rock), the most controversial elections ever took place in the U.S on November 8, and shockingly, Donald Trump won the election!
“I went to go pick her up at home and the car broke down on the way to the movies. I couldn’t cry! I sha called a cab while I chilled for the mechanic. Scheduled another date, but there was a noticeable change. She zoned me. The vibe was a subtle “you are looking for gehfren” when your jalopy is need of change”.

2. “He was showing off”
“This guy showed me his account balance. He was a semi-professional footballer and sha wanted to show me he was a big boy. I said “I’m happy for you” and asked for the rest of my food to go and then left“.
-Abike
3. “We got arrested”
“We were in this yellow taxi when some oversabi policemen pulled us over. The wahala started when they caught her filming them on her camera phone. They took us to the station o! They even took us to the place they kept armed robbers. My people came to bail us sha“.
-Ikemefuna John
4. “I was the third wheel on the date”
“He came to pick me with his friend, and I had to sit at the back. When we got to the cinema, he sat in the middle and he kept talking to his friend throughout, I was basically the third wheel”.
-Anike
5. “My tummy disrespected me”.
“I had diarrhea and had to use the restroom several times. It was so embarrassing“.
-Grace
6. “Fuel finished in his car”
“When he came to pick me, he parked his car in front of my hostel. The car refused to start o, and that’s how we caused traffic in front of the hostel. He now ‘realised there wasn’t petrol in his car and we had to buy petrol inside nylon.”
-Imani
7. He wanted me to come and ‘relax’ in his hotel room.
“It was my matriculation so I decided to go on a date with this guy that had been disturbing me. He brought his two friends (one of them was called Jendor) and another girl. As if that wasn’t annoying enough, after eating what was basically Agege bread and hot dog, he asked me and the other girl to come and relax with his friends. Relax, abi rape fest? I just carried my load and went back to my hostel“.
-Lara

So there’s been a wave of people taking advantage of cheaper internet rates to use Instagram as a digital store. But among them are people who just want to scam you. Here’s how to spot them.
1. Their accounts are always set on private.
What are you hiding?
2. You have to send a request, so they can size up the mumu in you before they add.
“This one is a mumu.”
3. Their products are always extremely cheap.
So you can order plenty things.
4. And the only comments you’ll see are nice ones.
“This shoe is lovely!”
5. In fact, if you check well, you’ll see that there may be no comments at all.
Why are they deleting comments?
6. When you ask how they accept payment, they say it’s pay before service.
Why can’t I pay on delivery?
7. And when you ask for guarantee, they give you a long ass essay about trusting them.
Who trust help?
8. They keep calling to know when you will transfer the money to their accounts.
“When will you pay for the goods, please?”
9. And if you check their numbers on True Caller, you’ll see BS names like ‘Mades Closet’ or ‘Trumps Collections’.
Trump. Really?
10. They always give you some account number they opened remotely.
So you can never trace it with ease.
11. People of God, the moment you transfer that money, they block you on WhatsApp and Instagram.
That’s right.
12. And that’s when you know you’ve been scammed.
You’re in soup!
13. Shout out to all the Instagram vendors that have scammed and are still scamming people.
It’s no secret that Nigeria is currently in a terrible condition. The economy is suffering, and leaders are proving more and more incompetent by the day. In a country where too many graduates already walk the streets in search of a viable source of income, the current economic recession is not helping matters. According to Samson Olaleye, a lot of Lagosians, most of them graduates like himself, sleep in the streets.
According to @d_problemsolver on Twitter, some employers are already looking to employ the young man, and they want anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.
The 2017 spring collection included these awesome T-shirts with bold statements supporting the feminist movement; an excerpt of Chimamanda’s famous Tedx Speech back in 2013.
Aunty Chi Chi was of course present at the fashion show, and she was there to slay! Just look at those shoes *swoon*!
Her Tedx speech which was later developed into a book-length essay was so powerful that Beyonce featured it in her Grammy nominated hit single ‘Flawless’.
Chimamanda’s speech boasts of over 3 million views on Youtube, and was used to teach Swedish students about feminism in 2015. Who else can’t wait to see where this awesome speech takes her next?
One would think the vast number of colonial buildings and monuments in Nigeria would be acknowledged and cherished as part of our history. For a building like Ilojo Bar, which was constructed in 1855 and declared as a national monument in 1956, Just the idea of destroying it would be a total no-brainer.
Formerly known as ‘Casa do Fernandez’, the Brazilian-styled building was sold to Alfred Omolana Olaiya of the famous Olaiya family in 1933.
Unfortunately, the building was torn to the ground in September 2016 by certain developers following the property’s change of ownership.
However, the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), has vowed to bring the lawless people behind this senseless demolition to justice.
Also, Legacy, a Lagos-based historical and environmental interest group has filed a petition against this demolition. This petition also aims to ensure the reconstruction of Ilojo bar to its initial state.
This demolition makes one wonder why National Monuments can be easily bought and sold by people who don’t even value their importance.
Share your thoughts on this in the comments section. But in the mean time, here’s a video of the demolition.
Beautiful and fashionable Nigerian celebrity, Mo’Cheddah, can do no wrong when it comes to slaying.
