• Our very own Nigerian writer and novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is doing bigger things on the international scene.

    No, Chimamanda did not feature in a hit single. This time around, she inspired Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior collection at Paris Fashion Week.

    The 2017 spring collection included these awesome T-shirts with bold statements supporting the feminist movement; an excerpt of Chimamanda’s famous Tedx Speech back in 2013.

    Aunty Chi Chi was of course present at the fashion show, and she was there to slay! Just look at those shoes *swoon*!

    Her Tedx speech which was later developed into a book-length essay was so powerful that Beyonce featured it in her Grammy nominated hit single ‘Flawless’.

    Chimamanda’s speech boasts of over 3 million views on Youtube, and was used to teach Swedish students about feminism in 2015. Who else can’t wait to see where this awesome speech takes her next?

  • In this recession, someone was dashing people money to get the correct spelling of Lupita Nyongo’s name.

    Calm down, it’s not in Nigeria. On the ‘Spellbrity’ segment of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, the TV crew members took to the streets and challenged Americans to spell Lupita’s name for a prize which doubled every time someone spelled it wrongly.

    All the Oyinbo people failed it o!

    But because Nigerians are efikos and don’t like wasting school fees, a Nigerian woman finally won $1280 (N403,000) for spelling it right. She even added the correct apostrophe.

    You can watch the video below:

    But we need to ask whose daddy was jumping up and down at the end of the video? We love him sha!
