Our favorite young girl, Emanuella is really going places! The 6-year-old is now one of many Nigerians giving us serious international exposure, and we’re so proud.

She just won herself the 2016 ‘Princess of Comedy’ and ‘Best New Comedienne’ award at the Afro Australia Movie and Music Awards (AAMMA).

The award held in Sydney, and was organised by Daniel Okoduwa, a Nigerian based in Australia. His aim is to recognize African talent from home and in the diaspora.

Emanuella is now the youngest ever to receive both awards. Her uncle, Mark Angel also won an AAAMA award for Leadership and Mentorship.

Well done girl! For those who are not familiar with this Youtube sensation, let’s sharply drop one of our favorite Emanuella clips for you. Enjoy!!!
Nigerian advertisers are notorious for dumbing down their messages, because they feel most of us don’t have the brain to understand it. Most times, they end up using comedy to pass these messages across, which is fine.

And that’s exactly what Airtel did this time. But this advert will make you laugh so hard, you might end up rolling on the floor! Just look at:

https://twitter.com/macpetrus/status/801318107864334336

Wait, so you mean the mumu guy just had to walk around small to find his way out?

This advert is giving us serious Robinson Crusoe vibes though! More of these fun adverts from our Nigerian brands, please and thank you!

“It’s the pot hole’s fault! I didn’t see it quickly now!”
5. You, when he’s doing James Bond on Third Mainland Bridge.

Don’t kill me for my mummy o!

“What do you know about driving?”
7. Your mom, anytime he volunteers to take her out.

“Mr man have you finished driving yourself first?”
8. When he’s rough driving and now wants to start answering his calls again.

Is this how you want me to die?

Fix it Jesus!

Hay God!
Seriously, Nigerian comedian and film-maker, AY Makun, needs to show us the secret behind his record-breaking feat.
Because, not long after his first movie, ’30 Days In Atlanta’, bagged a Guinness World Record for being Nigeria’s highest grossing movie, his 2nd movie, A Trip To Atlanta has reportedly smashed the record with a box office hit of 168 million Naira

The film features the adventures of Akpos (played by AY Makun) and his fiance, Bola (Funke Akindele) during a family visitation trip overseas.

Although it’s trailer came with seriously low expectations, this new record only proves Nigerians enjoy a ‘special’ type o comedy. You can watch the movie trailer below:
The BBC ‘100 Women‘ list is a yearly feature of inspiring women across the world. Alicia Keys, Simon Biles, Nadiya Hussein among others made this year’s list as well.
Popular events planner, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and Omotade Alalade (Founder of Bei Bei Foundation) have made Nigerian women immensely proud.

They’re both being recognized globally for their roles in breaking societal barriers that limit women worldwide.

For those who don’t know, Omotade Alalade is the founder of a growing infertility foundation, that is helping women with fertility complications find solutions.

Funcke Bucknor-Obruthe is the celebrity events planner every Nigerian has likely heard of.

Congratulations to both women, and kudos to all Nigerians out there winning for us all!
