  • The Owambe Party Wale Aritzo Threw For His Wife Shows That Nigerians Love To Party Hard

    The Owambe Party Wale Aritzo Threw For His Wife Shows That Nigerians Love To Party Hard

    Nigerian photographer, Wale Ariztos, who lives in Washington DC shut down the streets of New Orleans for his wife’s 30th birthday, Nigerian style of course.

    His wife, Lola, who turned 30 over the weekend was surprised when Wale brought a carnival procession escort them from the hotel to the restaurant where the birthday dinner took place.

    Wale practically threw a big Owambe style party for her and it was too lit!

    This just shows how Nigerians are the greatest party animals in the world.

  • After Losing His Brother, Fadesola Adedayo Ran A Marathon To Keep His Memory Alive

    After Losing His Brother, Fadesola Adedayo Ran A Marathon To Keep His Memory Alive

    For those that haven’t heard of a killer disease called Steven Johnson Syndrome, 25 year old Fadesola Adedayo embarked on a 17-day marathon to spread awareness after his brother died from the disease in 2012.

    His older brother Adeyosola Adedayo, a medical doctor trained in the University of Birmingham moved back to Nigeria to help provide free medical services to people suffering from HIV.

    Four years ago, Adeyosola saw blood on his hands after treating an HIV patient. Unfortunately, he reacted severely to the antibiotics he took to prevent HIV infection. He died two weeks after from SJS and he was only 27 years old.

    Although Fadesola was heartbroken by his brother’s death, he began running to help with his depression. The civil engineer decided to create awareness and also raise $1 million research funds for the disease during the course of his 17-day marathon.

    Steven John’s Syndrome is usually caused by a severe reaction to antibiotics which causes the skin layers to detach . It is a life-threatening disease that starts with a red rash on the limbs and face.

    He began the race on May 13 in Abuja and completed it at Gani Fawehinmi Park in Lagos after running 44km everyday. He was received by Governor Ambode who assured him of Lagos state’s readiness to boost awareness of the disease.

    Fadesola’s efforts have been recognised by Bia Live Well, MSF-Doctors Without Borders and Canada politician, David Miller. Nigerian medical research organisations should use this avenue to carry out adequate research so that this disease doesn’t claim more Nigerian lives.

  • Two Nigerian Refugee Sisters Are Proof That Nigerians Will Smile Through Anything

    Two Nigerian Refugee Sisters Are Proof That Nigerians Will Smile Through Anything

    These young women look like they’re preparing for a gele tying competition, right?

    Unfortunately, they’re not. These two sisters were part of the refugees rescued from an overcrowded refugee boat that capsized while on its way to Europe.

    The boat carrying 368 African migrants capsized as a result of sudden movement of people towards one side of the boat. Unfortunately, 5 people drowned.

    The 20 year old sisters from Benin City were rescued on their way to Europe through Libya. They were rescued by MSF Sea, an international medical humanitarian organisation aimed at providing medical care for people crossing the Mediterranean to Europe.

    Even in such a hopeless situation, they still managed to find happiness. They’re proof that Nigerians are just the happiest and most resilient people on earth.

    The refugee crisis is as heartbreaking as it gets. Scores of people desperate to get better lives in Europe die at sea annually. The refugee/migrant crisis ought to be addressed immediately.

  • Kiss Daniel Makes A Surprising Debut On The Billboard World Album Chart

    Kiss Daniel Makes A Surprising Debut On The Billboard World Album Chart

    After making Nigerians throw the hottest Shoki on the dance floor with his hit Single, Woju, Kiss Daniel only saw it fit to drop his debut album in May 2016.

    Surprisingly, his new album, New Era, is charting at number 8 on the Billboard World Album Chart, less than 2 weeks after it dropped.

    Pretty impressive! Considering the fact that he took the risk of not featuring any major artists on the album.

    The chart, which is a weekly ranking of top-selling world music albums implies that Kiss Daniel’s album is doing very well within and outside the country.

    Congratulations to Kiss Daniel on this achievement! We hope the album makes it to the big charts sha!

  • Some People Are Throwing Tomatoes For Fun In This Tomato Scarcity And We Couldn’t be More Pained

    Some People Are Throwing Tomatoes For Fun In This Tomato Scarcity And We Couldn’t be More Pained
    Tomatoes have become scarce and really expensive in Nigeria as a result of pestilence caused by a moth, Tuta Absoluta, which has damaged many farmers’ harvest across the country. Sigh!

    And while Nigerians are trying to deal with this problem, you won’t believe there’s an actual tomato throwing festival in Spain annually.

    During the festival known as La Tomatina people from all around the world travel to a village near Valencia in Spain, and throw tomatoes for entertainment. And guess what? This is the 70th year of the festival.

    People suddenly began sharing images from previous La Tomatina festivals and these were our reactions:

    When you hear about an actual tomato festival but refuse to believe it.

    Na lie abeg!

    When you see pictures of them throwing tomatoes during the festival

    Are those even real tomatoes?

    When you remember you bought 4 tomatoes at 500 Naira.

    Come and adopt me please.

    When the tomatoes they’re throwing become bars of gold in your eyes.

    https://twitter.com/Clarenceonyeks/status/734410949331947520
    You people are gods oh.

    When you realise the tomatoes they’re throwing can make a hundred pots of soup.

    Jesus!

    When you don’t mind making stew with the tomatoes on the floor.

    https://twitter.com/Sawamss/status/734454309153300481
    Who neatness don epp at this point?

    When you start wondering how they got so many free tomatoes.

    How though?

    When you start thinking of going to Spain to help them take care of their tomatoes.

    Edakun, let me assist you.

    People of Spain, come and dash us the tomatoes that you’re not using.

    We’re not even doing shakara!

  • Who Is The Man Who Claims To Be The ‘Husband’ Of Rescued Chibok Girl, Amina Ali?

    Who Is The Man Who Claims To Be The ‘Husband’ Of Rescued Chibok Girl, Amina Ali?

    It has been two years since the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapping of April 2014 which sparked campaigns worldwide.

    On May 17, one of the schoolgirls , Amina Ali Nkeki, was found by a local vigilante task force in Sambisa Forest and then handed over to the Nigerian troops. The 19 year old was found with her child and a suspected Boko Haram member, Mohammed Hayatu, who claimed to be her “husband”. It brings a bit of relief to know that some of these girls are alive, and faith in the Nigerian Army has been restored to an extent. What makes  her being an under-aged mother more outrageous is the fact that media publications are referring to him as her husband despite the fact that she was kidnapped and “married off” against her own will.

    This “cozy” picture of her and Mohammed Hayyatu was taken while they were going through medical checks at the Air Force medical facility.

    It begs the question of why this picture went public in the first place. Even if Mohammed Hayatu isn’t a Boko Haram member but  a husband as he claims to be, did he suddenly become best friends with the terrorists that they just let him marry one of their captives?

    Amina’s rescue, without doubt, has to be the most talked about topic considering the fact that she’s one of the Chibok girls.

    She and her child met with President Buhari which is an impressive show of concern from the president. The most uncomfortable part of Amina’s rescue is the disregard for her privacy. Her meeting with the President turned out to be a press conference and her HIV test results have been plastered all over the internet, thank God it came out negative.

    While Amina’s privacy hasn’t been respected, not much is known about Mohammed Hayatu. How did he become a Boko Haram ‘captive’? And if they were both prisoners of Boko Haram, how were they allowed to get married and have a child in captivity?

    Mohammed Hayatu’s story just isn’t adding up. And the circumstances around their rescue is suspicious at best. Understandably, Amina has been unable to confirm or deny the numerous speculations being thrown about by various media outlets. Which is why the media circus around her since she was rescued should not have occurred in the first place.

    For someone who has been in captivity for two years when other girls her age probably made it into university, one would think she would be undergoing psych evaluation and rehabilitation.

    Mohammed Hayatu is currently in the custody of the Nigerian Army but proper investigation and prosecution ought to be carried out immediately. Although there are some other unanswered questions  from this story, we hope the other girls return home safely and justice gets served.

    7 Times This Nigerian Was Humble-Brag Goals
    This Nigerian car dealer knows he has plenty money but he kuku doesn’t want to rub it in our faces too much so we won’t feel bad. He’s religious and even covers his really expensive car with the blood of Jesus when he gets scared. Here are 7 times he was too humble in his bragging:

    1. When he didn’t know what to wear.

    2. His wonderful act of charity.

    3. When he was going to church on a rainy day.

    4. When he was stuck in traffic with little fuel in his car.

    5. When he wanted us to know his “started from the bottom” story.

    7. When he shared how he made the greatest mistake of his life.

  • FIFA Has Appointed Fatma Samoura As Its First Female Secretary-General

    FIFA Has Appointed Fatma Samoura As Its First Female Secretary-General
    Following the corruption scandal that rocked the FIFA body in 2015, Senegalese Fatma Samoura, was appointed by FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, as the first female Secretary-General of the international football body.

    She was appointed after the former Secretary-General, Jérôme Valcke, was banned for 12 years due to his involvement in the FIFA corruption wahala of 2015.

    At 54, Fatma has worked for the UN since 1995 and served as a coordinator and resident representative of programs in six countries.

    Although Fatma has not been involved in sports before this appointment, Gianni believes her experience in managing big organisations and human resources will help in reforming FIFA.

    However, Fatma Samoura currently works as the resident representative for the United Nations Development Program in Nigeria where she oversees human resources and procurement while assessing political and economic trends in the country.

    We wish her all the best in her new appointment!

  • A Nigerian Woman Tired Of Being Unemployed Took To The Streets

    A Nigerian Woman Tired Of Being Unemployed Took To The Streets

    A few days ago, a picture of a Nigerian job-seeker on the streets of Port Harcourt went viral.

    Speaking with the Zikoko team, 26 year old IB MacDonald shared her story and how she has been unemployed since she obtained her B.Sc degree in 2010.

    The mother of two currently holds an M.Sc in Education Psychology and will complete her Ph.D program in 2017. She even uploaded her CV on her Facebook page.

    She explained how the job offers she got to teach in some private schools came with a salary package of 10,000 Naira, which isn’t even enough to cover her transportation bills to work.

    She stated how the frustration from being idle for so long drove her to the streets of Port Harcourt.

    After her picture went viral, IB received calls from people who suggested she started a business. However, IB said she isn’t a business-minded person and her passion is in lecturing.

    And this raises questions. Why is the Nigerian government more concerned with offering empowerment programs than providing jobs?

    Why should Nigerians go to school only to be asked to start a business right after? Does having an education in Nigeria come with an entrepreneurship package?

    Nigeria is yet to make some scientific/infrastructural breakthroughs. Shouldn’t the government aim to create jobs in these sectors?

    Why should a Nigerian have to resort to going to the streets to seek for employment?

    Someone with an advanced degree like IB should be in a position to proffer solutions to Nigeria’s failing education sector.

    Although some Nigerians have argued that there are a few private bodies where IB’s skills will be useful, we hope IB becomes gainfully employed soon and this problem of serial unemployment is dealt with once and for all. You can get in touch with her via her Facebook account.

  • 6 Times Privileged Nigerians Tried To Famz The Rest Of Us

    6 Times Privileged Nigerians Tried To Famz The Rest Of Us

    1. Davido

    “Back when I was broke yo, Nobody wanted to jonze yo”. Although he was born rich to a billionaire father, Davido’s debut song, Back When, was about how hard life was when he was broke. But brother David, when were you ever broke?

    2. Senator Dino Melaye

    He’s the typical Nigerian politician in every sense and likes to show off a lot. He broke the internet with his ‘No vex, na God‘ tweet when he wanted us to stop hating on the good things “God Almighty” provided him.

    3. Mrs Folorunsho Alakija

    “I am 63 and not done yet, what’s your excuse?” In a speech she gave on World Youth Day, she stated she didn’t attend  university and her recipe to success was hard work and perseverance.  Maybe she forgot to add another secret, she was born wealthy and even gifted an oil block during the military regime.

    4. Laura Ikeji

    “Instead of doing regular jobs, begging for money or doing runs and I capitalised on my sister’s success and it’s working.” Okay, so the people doing regular jobs aren’t really smart abi? Keep capitalising, Laura!

    5. Former Governor Fashola

    “It’s a very hot season of the year. I see my children too sweating, having heat rash and they look at me like what are you doing about this thing”. In an interview with ChannelsTV, he tried to explain how he also suffered from the power shortage wahala. Na wa o! Maybe the children he’s talking about are getting heat rashes from overseas.

    6. Ben Bruce

    When he said he was considering buying a horse because of the fuel scarcity wahala, as if they sell horses for 500 Naira in the market.  He started the Buy Naija To Grow The Naira hashtag but he conveniently published his book in the U.S.

  • Olajumoke And Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy Have A Lot More In Common Than You’d Think

    Olajumoke And Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy Have A Lot More In Common Than You’d Think
    Like Olajumoke, many successful people of today didn’t have a rosy background but ended up with a miraculous breakthrough.

    She began her hustle in Iree, Osun state as a hairdresser. She later moved to Lagos and began selling bread to support her family.

    Just like Leicester City forward, Jamie Vardy. Although he didn’t sell bread, he also “started from the bottom”.

    When he was 16, Jamie tried to make his dreams as a footballer come true. He was rejected by Sheffield Wednesday because he was too small and wasn’t the kind of footballer they wanted.

    However, he joined Stockbridge Park where he was paid 30 pounds a week, and worked as a carbon factory worker just to make ends meet.

    Although he was earning roughly 850 pounds a week by the time he was signed to Leicester City, the team still didn’t stand a chance of winning the league by the time he joined.

    Jamie Vardy’s team survived relegation in 2015 and with his help, miraculously won the league.

    Just like how the God of Olajumoke came through for her only months after she came to Lagos…

    That photobomb brought Olajumoke endorsements, a luxury apartment and of course, money!

    Jamie is also cashing in roughly 80,000 pounds a week (as of early 2016) which is a lot considering where he came from.

    And just like Olajumoke…

    Vardy doesn’t joke with his family.

    They’re both awesome and inspiring! Carry on jare!

  • A Nigerian Soldier Executed By Boko Haram Is Being Honoured By Czech Republic For His Sacrifice

    A Nigerian Soldier Executed By Boko Haram Is Being Honoured By Czech Republic For His Sacrifice
    Boko Haram terrorists, in the past 5 years are responsible for the death of thousands of Nigerians. As a result of their several violent attacks, over 800,000 Nigerians are currently displaced including orphaned children.

    Gallant soldiers such as Air force Commander, Chinda Stephen Hedima, chose to protect Nigerians by fighting off these terrorists.

    He and his co-pilot were sent on a combat mission when their aircraft was shot down by Boko Haram terrorists.

    He was captured and later executed by the terrorists but unfortunately, the Nigerian military refused to acknowledge his death even after members of Boko Haram released a video of his execution.

    The late commander had his combat simulator training on the Alpha Jet with Aero Vodochody in Czech Republic.

    And two years after his death his widow, Dr Hedima was awarded a post-graduate scholarship to study Epidemiology by the Czech Republic government.

    The Czech government recognised her late husband’s sacrifice for his country especially because of the great diplomatic relations the country has with Nigeria.

    Although the Nigerian military authorities are just confirming his death after two years, we wish her all the best in her studies.

    There are scores of widows whose husbands died while serving and protecting Nigeria and its citizens from the brutal terrorists. It’s sad that it takes an international country to appreciate one of them.

    We hope the Nigerian government honours these soldiers for their sacrifice.

    Nothing Serious, Just A Pastor Babysitting A Little Girl While Healing The Sick
    Ghanaian Pastor Addison Adamu, the founder of Freedom House Church International, Atlanta, Georgia wanted us to know how much he loved children when he shared pictures of him “backing” a child on his Facebook page.

    That’s not the best part, he managed to preach the word of God, and heal the sick…

    With this adorable little girl on his back.

    He captioned the pictures “Having awesome time during Ephphatha conference: babysitting, preaching and healing the sick at the same time. what an awesome time to love on little kids Jesus so love dearly.”

    He loves children just like Jesus did but couldn’t he give the little girl a chair to sit on while he preached and watched over her?​

    Is backing a child the only way to babysit?

    Is this little girl not too old to be backed with a wrapper?

    Are women (including female pastors) this celebrated for backing a child while preaching?

    Is it necessary for any pastor or public speaker whether male or female to literally back a child while talking to an audience?

    Back in 1984,  Nigerian artist, Tunde Odunlade, and Assistant Secretary of State, Linda Thomas Greenwich, met for the first time.

    Thirty years ago, Tunde, a print and textile artist went to Linda’s window to request for a visa to the United States when she was serving as a Consular Officer in Lagos.

    Tunde, who was granted the visa rose to be one of the leading faces of traditional African art . His work has been displayed in many countries and is currently in a collection of institutions such as the Smithsonian Museum of African Art.

    Thirty years after their first encounter, as if by coincidence, Linda and Tunde happened to be panelists for a discussion on the Chibok girls.

    Tunde recognised her and just had to pay her a visit to thank her for approving his visa in 1984. He even showed her some of his work.

    Tunde Odunlade was the first African artist to exhibit at the Festival of Atlanta in 1987. Till date, he uses his art to address the social issues Nigerians face.

  • Are Nigerians Ready For The Fuel Subsidy Removal?

    Are Nigerians Ready For The Fuel Subsidy Removal?
    The year 2012 witnessed one of the biggest protests ever staged in Nigeria. Former President Goodluck Jonathan, tried to remove the fuel subsidy but Nigerians weren’t having it. However, on May 11 2016, the fuel subsidy was finally removed by the Buhari administration and it meant petrol will be sold at N145 per litre.

    Although experts have argued that the country spends trillions of Naira on the subsidy which has not even benefited Nigerians…

    They should have warned us sha.

    Nigerians are still going to be the ones most affected by the increase in fuel price.

    Because the country is already harsh enough on Nigerians.

    Does this even guarantee an increase in the minimum wage?

    https://twitter.com/AndyMadaki/status/730530781873999873

    Will our employers increase our salaries too?

    The bus fares are going to be unbelievable.

    https://twitter.com/Dxski_/status/730502189710508032

    How much will a full tank cost now?

    https://twitter.com/Monaayy/status/730482261519388674

    Some people have obviously been hoarding fuel all this while.

    https://twitter.com/Dxski_/status/730668114489266176

    Will things be better for the unborn generation of Nigerians?

    No more going to pick anybody up again abeg.

    Even though Nigerians are angry, some people still want to collect the prize for Chief Amebo of Nigeria.

    It’s time to get our hustles up.

    The subsidy removal better mark the end of fuel scarcity…

    And we hope Nigerians will benefit from the subsidy removal as explained by the petroleum minister.

  • David Cameron Said Nigeria Is Fantastically Corrupt But Nigerians Didn’t Take It Lightly

    David Cameron Said Nigeria Is Fantastically Corrupt But Nigerians Didn’t Take It Lightly
    It was reported that President Buhari left the country to attend an anti-corruption summit in  the UK. However, UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron had a few things to say about Nigerians.

    In the video below, he can be overheard telling the Queen and other officials including the Archbishop of Canterbury, about the proceedings of the summit.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cUepDFQoIA

    He stated that leaders of the most fantastically corrupt countries are attending the summit. He also added that Nigeria and Afghanistan are possibly the most corrupt countries in the world.

    Well, we live in a country where billions of dollars get ‘missing’ while politicians divert public funds a la Suki Santa.

    So David didn’t necessarily tell a lie but let’s state a few things…

    David Cameron was said to have been involved in the Panama Papers wahala but he still had so much to say about some people’s ‘fantastic corruption’.

    And he obviously wasn’t trying to be politically correct sha.

    But some Nigerians believe the UK government has helped some Nigerian politicians hide stolen money.

    And David shouldn’t be the one pointing corrupt fingers at any country/people.

    https://twitter.com/OgbeniDipo/status/730054019675230209

    But he should sha help us return our money.

    And corruption has to stop in Nigeria.

    President Buhari in his speech said he won’t demand an apology and in his words, “I’m not going to demand any apology. All I demand is a return of assets. What would I do with apology?”

    We hope all Nigerians make efforts to end corruption at every level so that people like David won’t throw such shade at us in the future.

  • A British Actress Will Star In A Nollywood Movie Because She can Speak Pidgin English

    A British Actress Will Star In A Nollywood Movie Because She can Speak Pidgin English
    It’s about time Nigerians start appreciating the beauty of our culture.  Nigerians continue to slay at home and especially abroad, why? Because even in the midst of so much wahala, greatness still runs in our blood. But let’s just get to the gist.

    This British comedienne and actress just got featured in her first Nollywood movie.

    For those of you who don’t know her, she’s Claire Edun aka Oyinbo Princess, famous for her pidgin speaking skills.

    Claire who was born and raised in the UK fell in love with Nigeria after listening to several Nigerian songs.

    The former air hostess is married to a Nigerian man, Richard Edun, and is popular for her comedy videos.

    Her ability to speak pidgin landed her a role in a Nollywood movie titled ATM, produced by Lancelot Imaseun.

    It’s great to see a foreigner take so much interest in Nigerian culture. But let’s remember one or two things…

    When Nigerians speak English with an American or British accent, people say they’re forming.

    Speaking pidgin on a normal day is razz but when a foreigner speaks pidgin, Nigerians be like…

    As Nigerians, we need to learn to love our culture and stop waiting for others to do the appreciation for us.

    You can watch the trailer here.

  • YNaija Dragged P Square’s Paul Okoye But We’re Only Here For The Shade

    YNaija Dragged P Square’s Paul Okoye But We’re Only Here For The Shade
    Truth be told, new ideas are usually built on older ones these days. Nigerian musicians are great at copying sampling , that’s why Wizkid probably sampled S7ven in Holla At Your Boy while P Square served us Fugees-inspired, Bizzy Body.

    In May 2016, Paul Okoye from P Square directed and featured in a video titled Slow Slow.

    But the guys at YNaija felt he copied Rihanna’s Work dance-hall music video.

    And dragged him for it.

    Paul didn’t take it lightly and went on full blast in their comments section. He even said they will never be as big as Linda Ikeji.

    YNaija continued to be petty and threw more shade at him in their next post.

    This is another case of two people fighting but it reminds us of Wizkid and Linda’s rofo rofo fight.

    Although P Square’s total body of work is almost always based on ‘sampled songs’, and YNaija are just looking for trouble…

    They’ll both be alright in the end jare.

  • Husband Of Domestic Abuse Victim, Ronke Shonde, Speaks Out But We Have Questions

    Husband Of Domestic Abuse Victim, Ronke Shonde, Speaks Out But We Have Questions
    It was 7am on Friday, May 6 when Mrs Ronke Shonde was found dead at home in Egbeda. The family nanny had arrived to prepare the children for school and found the house locked. Peeping through the window, she found the little children crying because they couldn’t get their mummy to wake up.

    After breaking the door open, Mrs Shonde was found dead and her corpse showed signs of domestic violence.

    Her husband, Mr Lekan Shonde, was however, nowhere to be found. She was allegedly beaten to death by her husband, whose phones have been switched off since she was found dead. Her phone was also missing from the scene of the crime.

    Surprisingly, Mr Lekan spoke to The Punch from hiding, claiming he had nothing to do with his wife’s death.

    He claimed they only had an argument. He explained how he saw her by the staircase and thought she was only pretending.

    According to him, his wife constantly cheated on him and refused to cook for him.

    He said his late wife never bought anything for the house throughout the 8 years of their marriage.

    He even said he gave her money weekly for soup and for her hair, bathed the children and washed her underwear when she got sacked from her bank job three years ago.

    Lekan said Ronke got another job at a publishing company and started sleeping with her boss three months ago.

    He said he had overheard her talking to the man he suspected she was cheating with about the sex they had during the week.

    As he explained, he confronted her and it lead to an arguement on the night before her death.

    He said the last time he beat her was three years ago and he never laid his hands on her afterwards although Ronke’s family members and neighbours insist he beats her very often.

    He ended his testimony with this shocking comment, “I am a Lagos boy and I can be in this Lagos for the next 30 years and nobody would see me.”

    These things aren’t adding up sha.

    Why is Mr Lekan hiding if he truly didn’t kill his wife?

    Why did he keep mentioning her infidelity and inability to cook for him instead of mourning her death?

    Did he think of his children’s welfare before going into hiding?

    May her soul rest in peace and we hope her killer is caught soon enough.

    Omawumi Walked Out Of An Interview After She Was Asked A Ridiculous Question
    Celebrity interviews are usually interesting because we get to see them off the screen, talk about their careers and maybe their personal lives.

    But these days, interviewers go overboard with the ridiculous questions they ask.

    In an Interview with Zinnia from HFtv Africa, Omawumi talked about her growth as an artist and life as a mother.

    The interview became ridiculous when the interviewer brought up a rumour about the paternity of Omawumi’s daughter. She asked if Omawumi truly bore her daughter for her manager or her husband.

    Omawumi denied the accusations and said she chose to be polite because of the person asking.

    To make things worse, Zinnia took things further and talked about another rumor. She asked how Omawumi keeps her alleged smoking and drinking habit away from her children.

    Like a correct Nigerian woman, Omawumi clapped back at interviewer and asked if she had ever seen her smoking before.

    And guess what? She walked out of the interview!

    Watch the full interview here:

    When people keep asking women how they manage their marriages and careers but will never ask Tuface or Davido how they cope with fatherhood and their careers.

    When people ask the most ridiculous and unrelated questions during an interview.

    When Zinnia said “You can’t run away from the truth especially when it’s looking at you in the face”.

    When Omawumi asked her to still post the video while she was walking out.

    We’re waiting for the reason Zinnia will give for this ridiculous interview sha.

  • A Nigerian Village Has Only Had Female Rulers For The Past 246 Years!

    A Nigerian Village Has Only Had Female Rulers For The Past 246 Years!
    In a quiet village in Adamawa, 76 year old Bintu Namda reigns as the traditional ruler of the community.

    She became the ruler of Arnado Debbo, a village in Adamawa state, in 2014 after a successful screening process that also included other princesses.

    Only women are allowed to rule the community and must be above the age of 60 because the older women are regarded as more experienced in social issues.

    She is the 16th ruler of Arnado Derbo since the first one ruled about 246 years ago.

    According to myth, men used to rule the land but many of them died shortly after being crowned king. However, the women who ruled afterwards have stayed on the throne for about 9-40 years.

    Although men cannot rule, they play important roles in the community and four of the six council members are male.

    However, the female ruler is responsible for regulating the spiritual affairs of her people. And with the advent of Islam and Christianity, she encourages religious leaders of various faiths to organise prayer sessions in their places of worship.

    In case you didn’t know, there are other female traditional rulers in other parts of Nigeria such as Kumbada in Niger state and Ikota in Ekiti state.

    Although male traditional rulers are highly recognised and much more influential, we hope these women become more recognised in Nigeria as time goes by.

    This meant that celebs were expected to slay in futuristic and probably tech-inspired designs. And because Nigerians are awesomely creative, a Twitter user @bubblegumbae, photo-shopped pictures of celebs at the Met gala dressed in Nigerian attire.

    See how flawless Beyonce looks with that gele.

    The pop of colour on Demi Lovato’s dress is just on fleek!

    Meet Mazi Kanyechukwu and Lolo Kimberly West.

    Kris Jenner looks like she’s about to turn up at the hottest Owambe of the century.

    Who would have thought this lovely dress would look this gorgeous with a gele?

    Zendaya channeling all that Nigerian slay.

    QUIZ: Which Part Of Your Life Would You Like A Leicester Blessing?

    Leicester City did what most people thought impossible when they won the  Premier League on May 1st.

    Although they stood at a 5000/1 chance at winning, they still managed to come out on top after starting from the bottom. Haters will say Leicester City won because a Buddhist monk prayed for the team, their own teams won’t sha be smelling the cup this season.

    Everybody loves a miraculous blessing, take this quiz to find out where yours should be.
