  • For a country that’s home to amazing athletes like Blessing Okagbare and Seye Ogunlewe, it’s expected that these sportsmen are properly rewarded for their efforts.

    Unfortunately, Nigerian athletes hardly enjoy any benefits and this video couldn’t be more saddening.

    Although the Nigerian team qualified for the Summer Olympics, it was reported that the athletes were asked to buy their tickets to the trip themselves.

    Some of them had to source for funds via their social media pages.

    Outraged by this development, Nigerians tweeted their disappointment in the sports ministry.

    It’s unfortunate that after training for years and making the team, they’re still being asked to pay for their tickets.

    They shouldn’t be just sourcing for tickets 13 days to the Olympics.

    Maybe Nigerian brands should pay more attention to these athletes during these times.

    Perhaps, the people running with Nigeria’s money should kuku run for Nigeria.

    The Nigerian government ought to invest in things that are more profitable to the country.

    Meanwhile, in other countries….

    It’s even more disappointing that the fastest man in Asia as at 2016 is Nigerian-born, Femi Ogunode.

    For a country with a high unemployment rate, the sports sector should at least be adequately funded so that the Nigerian youth going into sports can be empowered.

    Following the reaction from Nigerians on social media, the sports minister, Solomon Dalung, addressed the issue claiming the sports ministry had nothing to do with the email which was obviously signed by a deputy director in the ministry.

    He also added that the athletes won’t be paying for their tickets and he will ensure their safe trip the Games Village in Rio.

    UPDATE on #Rio2016: New letter makes it clear that FG will issue tickets to enable all athletes travel to and from Rio—as is expected.

    We hope the government keeps their promise and gives these athletes all the support they need.

  • Davido is not anybody’s mate again. Earlier this year, he signed a record deal with Sony Records and now, he just bagged yet another deal with RCA Records.

    His deal with RCA Records means he’ll be rubbing shoulders with international artistes like Zayn Malik, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys and even Aunty Taylor ‘Slytherin Snake’ Swift.

    The gist of this signing came out when Sony Music Execeutive, Efe Ogbeni, shared the news on Instagram.

    This came right after behind-the-scenes pictures of Davido’s video shoot with Tinashe, who is also signed to RCA Records, broke the internet.

    Congratulations to Davido on this achievement!

    We can’t wait to see how the full video turns out. You can listen to a snippet from his single with Tinashe, ‘How Long’, below.

    Conseguimos uma prévia da colaboração entre Tinashe e Davido, ouça! pic.twitter.com/ErT3GExQIS

  • I had just been promoted at work, so I went to have lunch somewhere very nice to congratulate myself.

    Yass!

    I really enjoyed myself oh, eating and overeating sef.

    Is it your promotion? Allow me jere!

    When it was time to pay, the waiter told me my bill had been taken care of and a “really nice man” wanted to appreciate me.

    Oh?

    What I was hoping to see:

    Yes sir, Anything you want sir.

    What I saw:

    Ah! Maybe not.

    This big daddy waddled to me and without any wasting of time, told me he is ready to take care of me.

    You mean am?

    I told him “no thank you” and tried to pay him back the money.

    Baba carry your wahala and go oh!

    He refused oh and started promising to fly me all around the world, buy me things and show me a good time.

    Ahn ahn! Is it by force?

    Me:

    Oga go and fry this your dodo elsewhere!

    Before I could even say anything again I just heard one booming voice “EHEN CLETUS SO THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE?”

    EWO!

    My almost sugar daddy’s wife had come to fight him oh!

    Kasala don burst!

    Before I could run away she had carried water and poured on me and started calling me “husband snatcher”.

    Which kind of problem is this?

    Ah! Before she carried food to add and pour on me I ran out of the place with speed and alacrity!

    Somebody help me!

    That’s how I had to go back to the office looking like shame and regret.

    This is not the life I was promised!

    Since that day this is me when any older looking man smiles at me:

    It’s not me you people will kill!

  • When wardrobes start overflowing with clothes that are hardly worn, it only means one thing, TIME TO DECLUTTER!

    This was exactly how Ginikachi Eloka, the brain behind NFB yard sale, felt as a UNILAG undergraduate in 2014, when she stared in to her wardrobe and realised she had a lot of valuable clothes she wasn’t wearing.

    Reaching out to her friend, they both organised a yard sale in December 2014 and the buyers couldn’t be more pleased at the good deals they got.

    Now a graduate of Systems Engineering and a force to be reckoned with in the creative industry, Kachi believes more people should engage in letting go of things they don’t need because it helps them focus on acquiring more important things in life.

    However, Kachi’s NFB Yard Sale now comes with a bigger objective of charity and providing value for the buyers and sellers.

    People who want to declutter their wardrobe for a reasonable amount of money can be a part of the forth-coming yard sale.

    It’s also an opportunity for fashion lovers to shop stylish pieces at affordable prices.

    And because it’s important to reach out to those in need, there will an auction segment where the money generated will be donated towards empowering the less privileged women of Iroto, a rural community in Ogun state.

    Although the aim is to generate over N250 million towards the Iroto project, the auction is set to begin at N3,500.

    The yard sale is set to happen on July 24 at Ethnic Heritage Center, 35A Raymond Njoku street, off Awolowo road Ikoyi.

    There’ll be so many awesome pieces from designers like Gucci, Lisa Folawiyo, CLAN, Hermes and Swarovski and also what we all love the most, PLENTY FOOD!

    To be a part of this yard sale, check out more details via the Instagram and Facebook pages.

  • We were all in class one day like that, basically chilling and enjoying the free period…

    Next thing, our annoying chemistry teacher entered the class.

    He just started stressing someone’s life with plenty chemical terms and equations…

    All of us in the class were just like…

    After he finished explaining everything, he said:

    All the oversabi people in the class raised their hands.

    But this man kept on unlooking all of them oh.

    But one oversabi didn’t give up, he kept raising his hands up…

    The teacher finally answered him sha…

    Instead of answering the question, our teacher kept on stammering as if there was hot yam in his mouth…

    Instead of him to say he didn’t know the answer, he kuku asked all of us to do it as an assignment.

    We can totally relate to this video by Ebiye
do you remember any teacher that used to give struggle assignments?
