• While addressing his congregation during a convention last year, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God, Reverend E.A Adeboye, dropped some really deep nuggets and we thought to share with you guys.

    Apparently, people were arguing about cooking on Twitter.

    And someone went to dig up this 1-year-old video just to prove his point.

    According to him, men shouldn’t marry women who are lazy or can’t cook.

    In his words, “Don’t marry a girl who cannot cook, she needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to be eating out all the time”.

    He also said, “Marry a prayer warrior! If a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’t marry her. Don’t marry a girl who is lazy”.

    You can watch the full video below:

    But we only came to give you this amebo sha. What do you think if Daddy G.O’s marriage advice? Express yourself in the comments section.

  • 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.

  • On April 28, Tiwa Savage’s husband, Tee Billz had a public meltdown that had us all worried and wondering if his account got hacked. However, Tiwa confirmed that Tee Billz tried to jump off the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge but was rescued and taken to Banky W’s house.

    Tiwa Savage, in an interview with pulse TV shared her own side of the story and addressed the speculations about her marriage.

    She explained how worried she got when she learnt about Tee Billz suicidal rants and how concerned she was for his safety.

    However, she also revealed the problems she faced while in the marriage and how she didn’t want to keep up appearances.

    Fighting back tears, she told the interviewer of the unfortunate miscarriage she had recently.

    In the Interview, Tiwa revealed how Tee Billz stole from her while he was her manager. She fired him just to make things work between them.

    However, as she said, Tee Billz cheated on her frequently and even had a child by another woman during their relationship.

    She also discovered he had ‘interesting’ conversations with another woman which he saved as ‘Edible catering’ on his phone while she was dealing with her miscarriage.

    Tiwa also told of how she caught him doing cocaine and how he had drug and alcohol problems.

    Although she paid off some of his debt which include a Mercedes Benz and Rolex watch, he still incurred a 45 million Naira debt and is currently wanted by the EFCC.

    Although he continued to claim he ‘made her’ and accused her of stealing his manhood and cheating on him, Tiwa said she never cheated on him.

    According to her, the marriage was a mistake and is over. However, she wishes Tee Billz the best and will keep praying for him while she focuses on her son.

    Nigerians showed their support for her.

    And praised her for her strength.

    And for being able to hold it together in the midst of the controversy in her marriage.

    And sent their best wishes to her.

    Even though the interviewer wasn’t professional at all.

    You can watch the full video of the interview here.

  • We all know her as the hilarious comedienne, Chigul, but in this documentary by Kemi Adetiba, Chioma Omeruah showed the world her emotional side.

    Nigerian music director and film maker, Kemi Adetiba recently launched a documentary series themed “King Women”.

    Featuring other successful Nigerian women such as TY Bello and Taiwo Ajayi -Lycett, this series seeks to share the glory and pain behind their success so as to paint a realistic picture of what real life role models go through.

    In a recently released teaser of the King Women series, Chigul shared how much she quarreled with her mother especially when she had marital crisis.

    She said “…I resented her because I felt I was going through a tough time in my marriage and she was just telling me, Go back to your husband, Go back to your husband”.

    Not losing her humourous touch, she explained how everybody around insisted on her holding on to an already failing marriage.

    “Is anybody asking me what’s going on with me and how I feel and how it’s doing me in my body? Did anybody care?”

    She tearfully mentioned how hurt and disappointed she was after her marriage fell apart.

    “When my marriage fell apart, I failed at something and I had nowhere to land. Like, it fell apart and I didn’t want it to fall apart and I feel like I disappointed my dad because we talked about it before he died”.

    And despite going through so much all by herself…

    “No one was there and I wanted people to be there. I wanted to be able to go to my mom and say I’m tired…. And she’d just always say “Go back to your husband”. 

    And learning of her husband’s love child with another woman…

    “When I found that my mom, like she knew, I was like, I’m done with everybody, don’t talk to me! But I later thought about it like how was she supposed to bring that to me, like news? Like gist?

    She still loves her mother and is grateful for the milestones in her career but also wants to have her own children.

    “I wanted to give her grandchildren. I wanted us to bond over those things. My success with my life, my career is great, it’s wonderful. But I want other things”.

    When Nigerians found out Chigul was married..

  • Nigerian weddings are one of the most common avenues to really turn up. But then, it’s never always about the Jollof rice or beautiful bridesmaids.

    They can be one of the worst events to ever attend. Here are 11 annoying things about Nigerian weddings.

    1. They are usually very crowded.

    Because, Nigerians will find a way to sneak into a strictly by invitation event.

    2. …And time wasting.

    You probably will spend more than 6 hours of your life in a loud wedding depending on how much African time is spent.

    3. Lord! The overpriced Aso ebi.

    Let’s not even talk about the fact that you cannot wear that same Aso ebi to another wedding because you have to keep buying more Aso ebi.

    4. Expenses! Expenses! Expenses!

    With expensive Aso ebi comes expenses like a nice clutch, face beat because your face has to slay, shoes and let’s not even talk about tailor charges.

    5. The many stages and tiresome procedures.

    The introduction dress, traditional/engagement dress,  church/Nikkah dress and reception dress. Kilode!

    6. Not getting served Jollof rice because you didn’t buy Aso ebi.

    Yes! People get petty like that.

    7. Weddings MCs are boring and tell the worst jokes.

    When will this trash end?

    8. The annoying people that steal all the drinks and small chops at the table.

    You have eaten your fear of God with the small chops, abi?

    9. Getting criticised for dressing hotter than the bride.

    https://twitter.com/Irruaprincess/status/683264223871385600
    You can’t unlock your full potential at a Nigerian wedding.

    10. The low chances of getting seized.

    Nigerian weddings are the fields where seeds of heartbreak are sown. Ironic abi?

    11. Dealing with those “Your own is next” comments.

    Wipe the stupidity off your mouth please.
  • We gave you 10 hilarious reasons to marry an oyinbo person but what about the pros of marrying a Nigerian? Nigerians are some of the happiest people in the entire world. Even with all the daily challenges. What could be better than spending the rest of one’s life with one of the happiest people in the world. If you need more reasons we’ve got it covered.

    1. Nigerians are beautiful

    Every tribe or culture boasts of the most beautiful people you will ever see. Both men and women are beauties to behold. The beautiful kids that will come about. And will have you like “look at God!”.

    2. You will always be well fed

    Nigerians know quite well that the way to the heart is through the belly most times. We could be classified as the “stomach welfare” country  as we cook good food, and eat good food. Guaranteed you will never be hungry.

    3. Always ready for anything

    Nigerians have a saying “there is nothing that is coming from above, the ground cannot take”. We live by this so you can be rest assured that a Nigerian spouse can handle any challenge. How do you think we have coped with unstable electricity all this while.

    4. Prepare to be spoiled

    It is standard, when you are in a relationship with a Nigerian it will feel like the time of your life. Gifts, outings, trips, money for hair, gifts for his birthday. See Nigerians are simply the best.

    5. Nigerians are always respectful and well trained

    This is one huge forte of our people. They always give respect when it is due, whether it is to parents, in-laws, slightly elderly people or even dead people. See how much we respect other humans around us.

    6. Nigerians always have an education and ambition

    Nigerians are one of the most educated sets of people in the world. And any Nigerian you will come across has a substantial level of education and either strive to get more or is really ambitious. You know we have to make that money to impress our spouses and friends.

    7. Nigerian weddings are the best

    Wedding ceremonies in Nigeria are one of the best events you will see. From the introduction to the engagement, to the wedding and the reception, it is always live! The food, music, decor, traditional attires, emcees and a lot more is always a bauty to behold.

    8. Nigerians are hardworking

    This fact can not be stressed enough. This country boasts of the most hardworking people. Marrying someone who is hardworking guarantees that your every need will be catered to whether you are the husband or the wife.

    9. Nigerians are romantic

    Every tribe in Nigeria has endearing words for their loved ones. When a Nigerian is wooing or praising his or her spouse, it is indeed one of the best things to hear. From “Iyawo mi”, to “Omalicha nwa” there are a ton of them.

    10. Your wedding proposal will be amazing

    Nigerians have really stepped up the game in this aspect. Be sure that you being proposed to will be a very interesting event in an interesting place with the best photographers. What a way to set the pace for a marriage. What other reason would you want to marry a Nigerian?
  • Getting married to someone from another race is a beautiful thing. Here are a few reasons why you should definitely get married to an “oyinbo” person.

    1. Accent

    Foreign accents sound so beautiful. Of course who does not want to have to hear a foreign accent every day and every evening when their partner is back from work or in bed.

    2. Romance

    We’ve heard that people from other parts of the world are more romantic partners. Well ladies you sure want those flowers and gifts. Guys, you also want those surprise PlayStation consoles and games. Go for it!

    3. Adventure

    Getting married to someone from a different country will give you an opportunity to explore another country as well as experience a culture different from yours. They say they love to explore new places.

    4. True love

    Most times when people get married from different backgrounds it is most likely real love for each other regardless of what anyone says. Chances are you guys will  be together forever.

    5. Fancy wedding

    We cannot overemphasize this. It is not every time that an oyinbo and a Nigerian get married. Your wedding will be the talk of the town. It will cause traffic. For this sole reason you should be convinced.

    6. Bellanaija/Instagram wedding accounts coverage

    Your wedding is not on the famous Instagram accounts? You are doing something wrong. Definitely getting married to a foreign person will attract attention, just make sure your photographer is amazing.

    7. Different currencies at the wedding

    Aha. You thought we will skip this. No. For sure the wedding reception will be financially standard with different currencies being sprayed the guests. In this economic crunch period… Are you convinced yet?

    8. People will use your wedding photos as “goals”

    We sure do all want to be role models, being tagged as “goals” is like an advanced level of being a role model. People will use you as a prayer point. Come on!

    9. Mixed children

    Think about it, your kids will be mixed. And social media is obsessed with mixed babies. They can do a photo shoot when they are six months. Imagine the endorsement requests.

    10. Dual citizenship

    You see the way foreigners passport colors are set up. They sure are not green. Getting married will make you a citizen of whatever country they are from. This reason can stand up to any rebuttal. Make sure it is done for love. Any other reason  makes it illegal. Disclaimer: This post is written in jest of the social media obsession with the mixed race life. Don’t take this too seriously. Or use it as your guide in choosing your spouse ?
