  • This is a chewing stick, often referred to as Miswak by Muslims- and it has been in existence since forever.

    But you see, Oyinbo people recently discovered the Miswak and are now calling it ‘The Twig Brush’.

    They even want to teach us how to use the chewing stick that has existed over one thousand years ago. Just watch this video.

    You can watch the full ad here.

    And some people will still call Muslims terrorists even after renaming the Miswak, na wa o!

    Just like when they suddenly discovered braids and cornrows- renaming them ‘boxer braids’.

    White people, when they ‘discover’ things that have existed even before they were born.

    How white people steal people’s cultures after discriminating against them.

    Can they just leave people’s cultures alone and stop ‘inventing’ things up and down? What do you think about this? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

  • 17 Annoying Misconceptions Foreigners Have About Nigeria
    Ever interacted with people from other countries and they were spewing hot rubbish about what they think Nigeria or Africa is like? Or asking you a bunch of really “off” questions? These situations will definitely not be strange to you.

    1. Africa is a country.

    https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/699108449561526272
    Did you by chance listen in geography class or see a world map? And later you will say you went to school.

    2. “Do you speak African?”

    Excuse me, do you speak American or European?

    3. “So do you know any Siphiwe from South Africa I hear you are all related”

    You don’t mean it right? Are you playing?

    4. Nigeria is a small village.

    Not today.

    5. When you get asked how you know how to speak English.

    You see, the British colonized us and I have been speaking it from birth and was trained with it.

    6. “I can speak like a Nigerian, I have watched Concussion”.

    Don’t even think about it Sir. Just hold it right there.

    7. All Nigerians are from royal families.

    No sir/ma, it does not work like that.

    8. ‘I heard all African leaders are dictators, that must suck”.

    *cries in Donald Trump*

    9. So if I take $100 to Africa I’ll be a millionaire right?

    I don’t blame you.

    10. All Nigerians are internet scammers.

    Are all Americans drug dealers?

    11. There is always war in Nigeria/Africa.

    Is that how you people see us? What a blanket statement.

    12. I wonder how you survive with lions and wild animals on the streets.

    NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC GOES TO THE FOREST NOT URBAN AREAS. Please don’t do this.

    13. “Do you guys have five star restaurants or just hut kitchens?”

    This is getting out of hand. *cries in ignorance*

    14. So how do you guys get to watch TV?

    Please go away.

    15. When people think Nigerians are not very educated.

    You see, Nigerians are the most educated black people in America…

    16. “So does everyone have like three to four wives?”

    Are you being serious right now?

    17. “Do you guys have fancy houses or still have just mud huts and them native settlements?”

    I shall not partake in this. I’m not even here.

  • Watch White People REALLY Try To Sing Nigerian Songs; It’s Hilarious and Really Good Too!


    Nigerian songs are really cool.

    Our musicians have perfected the art of making barely coherent words into club bangers. (>_> Think Iyanya – “From the bed to the bedroom…” or Jesse Jagz and Wizkid – “Baby girl call me jailer cos I’m a prisoner of love…“). But that’s not the point of this.

    If you like Nigerian songs, you’re in good company. In addition to the millions of fans across Africa, Nigerian music has garnered fame in the white man’s land. ^_^

    White people love AND are really trying to sing these songs. So get comfortable and lose yourself in these hilarious videos of instances when they try.

     

    1. When this Greek-German dude, @NikiTallMusic Sang Olamide’s Shakitibobo While Wearing an ‘IGWE’ Shirt

    https://twitter.com/Prince_II/status/618121301639725057/video/1

    2. And performed Woju by Kiss Daniel. I love this one. Almost better than the original song.

    And Double Wahala by Oritsefemi.

    And an almost purely Yoruba song, Gongo Aso by 9ice.

    He does this a lot. More videos HERE.

    3. And then this white girl giving a great rendition of Davido’s Dami Duro.

    She wasn’t half bad singing Davido’s Ekuro.

    4. And then there’s this white woman singing and grooving to Yoruba gospel songs at a Redeemed Church

    5. Honourable mention to the Oyinbo Ibadan man that speaks better Yoruba than anyone in my Yoruba family:
