On June 25, there was a Twitter football event themed Social Liga Connectar and some people basically went to set P.

So as a sharp guy, this guy slid into the DMs of a potential bae.

But she replied him with ‘err okay’ and instead of facing front because he felt he chopped ela, he tried to drag her on Twitter.

Some people thought this reply was rude.

But was he expecting her to kneel down and thank him for sending her a DM?

When Nigerian men think they’re doing you a favour by sliding into your DMs.

When guys feel entitled to be regarded just because they were being ‘nice’.

Even this ridiculous reach.

He should’ve just changed the topic or simply faced front instead of crying all over Twitter.

Women have the right to choose if they want to reply DMs or not, not every time seize the bae!

1. How they upload their ring picture on Instagram:

You must see it sha.

2. When they write that ‘deep’ epistle for their Instagram caption.

Now end it with #NaijaBride.

3. When they change their name on social media to “Mrs…” before the wedding.

Calm down na.

4. Them, rushing to Facebook to change their relationship status.

No time.

5. When you tell them “congratulations” and they reply with “don’t worry, God will do your own.”

Hay God!

6. How they do their hand whenever they are talking to you:

Can you not?

7. How they now see you:

See your life.

8. When they suddenly start trying to set you up with every single person they’ve ever met.

Did I ask you though?

9. When they turn into relationship counsellors overnight.

Just don’t.

10. When it’s been 5 minutes and they haven’t worked “my fiancé” into the conversation.

Chill small na.

11. When they start dropping their couple hashtag months to the wedding.

Make we see road.

12. When they start doing their pre-pre-wedding shoot.

Hian!

During his recent trip to the U.S, the Ooni of Ife visited the Redeemed Christian Church of God with his Olori.

However, this video of him singing ‘Jesus is my father’ just went viral and Nigerians had so much to say about it.

According to some, the Ooni of Ife should only propagate the religion of his ancestors.

They believe he should act as the custodian of Yoruba traditions and beliefs.

Will his actions have a negative impact on his subjects?

Because even the Pope will always represent the church.

via Twitter

Some think he was influenced by movies.

Some believe every Nigerian monarch should have the freedom to practice whatever religion they want.

Especially someone who was practicing his own religion before becoming the Ooni.

Should the Yoruba people move with the times and accept this change?

Is the outrage from Nigerians a double standard? Considering the fact that some Nigerians find the Yoruba traditional beliefs barbaric.

Can’t the Ooni be a Christian while propagating his own culture?

You can also add your thoughts about this in the comments section.

Elechi Amadi, one of Nigeria’s literary icons just passed on but he will be remembered for being so much more than a writer.

Nigeria is really blessed to have been the home country of Elechi Amadi, who was born in Aluu, Rivers state on May 12, 1934.

This genius writer didn’t have a degree in Literature or Arts, rather he was a trained scientist who earned a degree in Physics and Mathematics from University College, Ibadan.

However, while studying at the university, Elechi’s talent came to the surface during the times he contributed to the English department and students magazine, The Horn.

He dabbled in surveying and even taught science for a while before joining the Army and serving as captain between 1963 and 1966.

Taking his Army career further, he joined the Marine Commandos in 1968 after his first novel, The Concubine, was published in 1966.

Being a man driven to serve, he worked at different levels of government in Rivers state until 1990.

While helping in the development of his state, he still blessed Nigerians with plays and documented his experience during the war in his autobiography, Sunset in Biafra.

After his marriage to Priscilla Iyalla in 1991, he spent the rest of his days teaching and writing until his death on June 29.

He will be remembered for his revolutionary stories, his teachings and how beautifully he portrayed the richness of Nigerian culture.

Here’s how we imagine some of our favorite Nigerians would act on the social media app, Snapchat:

1. Ben Murray-Bruce would stay preaching his ‘special’ brand of common sense.

2. Linda Ikeji would keep reminding you how self-made she is.

3. We would know when Buhari decided to branch Nigeria.

4. Folorunsho Alakija would constantly remind you that she still washes her husbands underwear.

5. Dangote would constantly tension his followers, the billionaire way.

6. Oshiomole would remind you that his wife is badder than yours:

7. Governor Ambode would remind us that you can do a great job and still turn up.

8. Everyone’s crush, Diezani Alison, would be trolling the government.

9. Our Jack of all ‘political’ trades, Dino Melaye, would be very fun to follow.

‘

10. Chimamanda Adichie would be dragging all the misogynists by their edges.

11. Reno Omokri would have another platform to tell women what they should do with their bodies.

12. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala would just be giving us gele variety.

13. Dele Momodu would be his overdramatic self.

Oya, go and add Zikokomag on Snapchat:

1. The range of feelings you experience when you see the crowd on your first clearance day.

Let me faint abeg.

4. When you join the queue and the other corpers start pressing you from both sides like bread and akara sandwich.

I can’t breathe.

5. When you enter the Local Government Inspector’s office to sign your letter and you forget to greet first.

Are you okay?

6. When you say “Hi” to an NYSC official because you weren’t channeling your inner home training.

“Sorry ma, Good Afternoon.”

7. The other corpers when you don’t come with your correct documents and your plan is to beg your way through.

This should be good.

8. When you’re a nursing mother and the queue parts for you like you’re Moses at the Red Sea.

“Come with a child next time.”

9. The photocopying guy’s face when you need to make 2 copies, but it’s N1000 note you have.

“Wyd?”

10. When you walk into the NYSC secretariat and your ancestors are on your side, so there’s no crowd and you waltz in and out.

Look at God.

11. When you and that friend you only see once a month during clearance use time to take selfies together.

“See you same time next month, but time for a quick selfie.”

12. Your face when you finally finish your clearance:

“No I’m not lucky, I’m blessed.”

13. When you remember you have to do it all over again next month.

Kids Say The Darndest Things was one TV show many of us loved watching as children. Children came on the show to give their unrehearsed opinions on various issues.

The show which was initially created in the U.S is now being produced in Lagos for Nigerian children. Here are some of the funniest episodes:

This hilarious Father’s Day episode.

This sassy 10-year old who loves Ariana Grande.

These little girls that had so much to say about their parents.

When some children had to act as customer care agents for a day.

Their funny reactions when they took a taste test.

This girl’s secret confession is too funny.

In November 2014, Irish DJ Noberto Loco made it into the Guinness Book Of Records after DJing for 200 hours even when power failure tried to stop his shine.

But at 7:30am on July 1, Nigeria’s DJ Obi snatched that title from him after DJing for over 8 days and counting.

Since he started his path into the world of music 8 years ago, DJ Obi Ajuonuma was obviously on the road to greatness when he won the Nigerian Entertainment Award for World Best DJ in 2011.

The Syndic8 Records DJ is the son of former TV host and producer, Dr Levi Ajuonuma, who died in the Dana Air plane crash in 2012.

Although he beat the world record, DJ Obi is aiming to make a 10-day set and has roughly 40 hours left.

However he won’t be receiving any cash gift but will have his name included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Nigerians couldn’t be more proud of him.

Because this feat is truly inspiring.

Well done DJ Obi! All the best to him as he tries to reach his own personal record.

When the Ebola virus broke out across West Africa in 2014 , it left an unforgettable mark especially in Nigeria.

The haemorrhagic fever which causes death of most of its victims was first recorded when a Liberian-American diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, collapsed at the Murtala Mohammed airport during a trip to Nigeria.

He was checked into First Consultant Medical Centre, where his Ebola status was confirmed under the supervision of Dr Ameyo Adedavoh, who eventually died of the disease during the process.

93 Days tells the real story of the men and women who actively fought to prevent the spread of the disease in Nigeria.

Delivering a powerful performance, Bimbo Akintola, who acts as the female consultant who contacted the government after discovering Patrick Sawyer was infected with the virus.

The movie which was directed by Steve Gukas is coming soon to Nigerian cinemas.

It’s amazing how Nollywood has created an accurate narration of an important experience in Nigerian history. You can watch the trailer here.

Following the death of a street hawker who was knocked down by a truck while fleeing arrest from KAI officials on June 29, the Lagos state government placed a ban on street hawking starting from July 1. Being really vocal on social media, Nigerians on Twitter shared their thoughts on this development.

Some Nigerians feel this ban will have a negative impact on the economy.

Some think Lagos state government should’ve done something about the agberos who are a bigger menace.

The hawkers on the streets aren’t hawking because they have better options.

How else are these hawkers supposed to survive?

Some are of the opinion that banning hawkers will not ultimately turn Lagos into a megacity.

These hawkers should be provided with employment alternatives.

Because without a means to survive, many people will resort to crime.

Hawkers do what they do because they have no other choice.

Because these traders played a big part during the election season.

How will Lagosians get through the ridiculous traffic?

Some people even made ridiculous suggestions.

Eyah! Gala manufacturers won’t like this development.

Somebody can’t even buy Ewa Agoyin again.

via Twitter

So people could go to prison for buying ordinary handkerchief.

We hope the Lagos state government takes into consideration the negative impact this ban will have on hawkers if another option for education or employment is not provided.

1. When all the hawkers see the traffic light turn red.

Work has started.

2. Street hawkers, appearing during rush hour traffic like:

They are always ready.

Fastest legs first.

RUN!

5. When the hawker chasing your car doesn’t catch you.

E pele oh.

6. When you make small eye contact with them and they just stand by your window.

7. How they look at you when you start bargaining too much:

8. When you call a hawker to help you call another hawker.

Hian!

9. When you show a hawker N1000 note.

Be going, biko.

10. How they look at you when you stare at their product too long without buying:

Ah! Sorry! I cannot look again?

11. When the hawker just goes to the fattest person’s side of the car and just lingers.

Go away, biko.

12. When you see hawkers selling puppies on the road.

I don’t understand.

13. When the light turns green and the hawker hasn’t given you your change.

Chineke!
