Nigeria is currently experiencing a terrible Cerebro Spinal Meningitis (CMS) outbreak, with about 328 people killed already. We told you about the signs and symptoms here.
But Abdulaziz Yari, the Zamfara State Governor, thinks the outbreak is upon us because we’re all sinners
Zamfara State is the worst hit and has the highest number of casualties. When he was questioned about this, he blamed God instead. Read the full story here.
Apparently, this Governor has talked to God in a WhatsApp message and God has revealed the reason we’re suffering from CMS to him
You, when you realize most Nigerian politicians have low thinking capacity
Zamfara people, when they see their governor
Other saner governors be like:
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health has said there’s no such thing and CMS is not spiritual
Meningitis is a medical emergency not spiritual. Report any sign to the nearest health facility. FMoH Advisory 👇https://t.co/l27FKoP8kT

1. So you’re broke and you’ve been waiting for your salary for days
This is you waiting for alert to enter.
2. Immediately you hear the alert, you’re like
My joy is now full again.
3. How you run to send some money to a separate savings account before you use your money to do rubbish
That’s the only thing that gives you total peace of mind.
4. When you want to shop and you remember sales racks are better than any thing in this life
And people think you don’t have sense.
5. You’re wise enough to know that not everytime eat out, in fact everytime there is rice at home
6. When you see people advising you to use all your money to “live in the moment” you’re like:
Just stop talking.
7. This is you when your onigbese friend comes again to “borrow” money
If you don’t vamoose!
8. How you sleep knowing brokeness will never be your portion

We true foodies know we ought to travel more, and indeed one day we shall. Top on our list of places to try is Calabar- Cross Rivers State- and it really should be top of your list too! These are some of the foods Calabar people rave about (we have this on good authority, mind you).
Of course, Edikang Ikong is first on the list
No, it’s not efo riro, and yes, the preparation is very different.
Apparently, it tastes better than efo riro
Another must eat: Editan
What can we say? Efiks loooove their veggies!
Abak Atama
It’s not exactly Banga soup, although the preparations are quite similar. Atama leaves are quite magical, we hear.
Abak Nmong Nmong
For this post, we’ve saved the best for last – Epang Nkukwo
Some people pronounce this as “Epangkwokwo” as well.
We must warn you, this cocoyam-based meal requires quite a bit of work
But this champ pulled it off

We all loved it, but it turns out we’d been sitting on meme material for almost a decade and we didn’t know. Now, the husband has turned into a huge curve-meme.

2. When telcos start with their caller tunes wahala
Traditionally, we Nigerians have always seen mental health as something that shouldn’t be discussed openly, and for men, it’s an issue ‘society’ forbids them to even acknowledge because it’s not ‘manly’.
So a lot of people-men and women- continue to live with depression and severe stress because they can’ talk about their feelings
Recently, Allwell Orji, a medical doctor, committed suicide by jumping into the Lagos lagoon from the 3rd Mainland Bridge. There are speculations he may have been depressed.
But when this Twitter user posted about her brother being depressed, people reacted quite differently
The siblings are orphans and her brother was having a terrible birthday because he couldn’t celebrate
