All jokes aside though, go check out her fantastic blog right here.
It looks like Donald Trump isn’t the only politician calling for the ban of a group of migrants entering his country.
Indian politician and former minister, Ravi Naik, is calling for a ban on Nigerians coming into India.
According to him, Nigerians have a rough attitude, are ill-mannered and the cause of riots in major parts of India.
Describing Nigerians with an alleged racial slur, he added that Nigerians who do ‘dadagiri’, should be probed and moved out of the country.
In his words, “They create problems everywhere, we do not want Nigerian tourists. The Central government should ban Nigerians”.
Na wa o!
Isn’t it unfair to blame the crimes of a group of Nigerians on the entire nationality?
Criminals of any nationality will commit crimes whether they’re at home or abroad. Why should seeking bans be the first solution racist politicians resort to?
He should just come out and say he’s prejudiced against Nigerians instead of pretending to love his country so much. The Indian government should find better ways to combat crime in their country.
1. You will not be told you’re travelling until the last minute.
I can’t have plans, abi?
2. They will wait till the tickets are at their most expensive before booking.
Then spend forever complaining.
3. You must not tell ANYBODY that you’re travelling.
Especially your relatives.
4. You become their house-help the night before the flight.
You will pack for Africa.
5. Their whole suitcase is for them. Half of your suitcase is also for them.
“My bag is full, help me put this thing in your bag.”
6. You are going to carry more food than clothes.
Especially stockfish.
7. Half of the things they’re making you pack are not even for your family.
Relatives and friends have hand inside that luggage.
8. They will make you dress like you’re going for a party.
Can I just wear shorts and be great?
9. You must go to the airport at least 4 hours before the departure time.
You will be at the airport longer than the plane sef.
10. They’re not paying anyone at the airport to help with all the bags, that’s why you are there.
Oya, carry them.
11. Excess luggage is their right and their’s alone.
Don’t even think of carrying extra unless you have the money.
12. You become the parent to all your other siblings.
STRESS!
13. They must start gisting with the first Nigerian family they meet there.
Ugh!
A lot of people believe money isn’t everything in life and they’re almost always right. Because for instance, money can buy drugs but not good health.
At least that’s what some Nigerians thought when billionaire heiress, DJ Cuppy, tweeted this sometime in 2016.
Money Really Isn't Everything… The Older I've Gotten The More I've Realised. ❤️ #SundayVibes
But on the other hand, money is everything to the Nigerian whose immediate needs can only be solved by lots of cash. So that tweet coming from someone who can’t relate to the average Nigerian problems left a lot of people like…
Like seriously?
And as if the fake-deep tweet about money was just DJ Cuppy’s attempt at famzing regular Nigerians like the rest of us…
…She was featured in a show documenting the lavish lifestyle of rich Nigerians living in Britain.
In the documentary, she said she hasn’t opened a bottle of champagne by herself in ages ….
Going on about London her sister, Temi, said ‘We have done Dubai and Paris but always come back to London. You have the luxury shops, luxury cars, luxury houses, you can spend the money you have worked hard making.’
She has 15 pairs of £1000 Swarovski crystal-covered Beats headphones and even threw a graduation party worth at least a few expensive cars …
She said “Some could say it’s a wedding budget, to be honest” and her sister added “It would probably estimate to the same cost as a couple of nice cars”.
Cuppy thinks she’s paved the way for female DJs in Nigeria even though she’s gotten access to events because of her privilege.
She also said ‘We are setting the pace for young women who are trying to get out of a generational trend of just going to school, be good, get a job, get married and sit there looking pretty.’
Oops! What about DJ Soupamodel, DJ Lambo and the rest who have been in the game all this while?
Maybe she hasn’t heard of the successful Nigerian women who have made the news for their ground-breaking achievements.
After flaunting so much wealth on this show, we believe you DJ Cuppy. Money really isn’t “everything”.
The fact that the educational system in Nigeria needs a complete overhaul isn’t news.
And since it looks like it could take the Nigerian government a while to get to that point, a group of Nigerian youth have decided to make a change, one step at a time.
In the past 4 years, Slum2school Africa has reached out and provided educational scholarships and support to 650 disadvantaged children in slums and remote communities such as Okuagbo, Saga Islands and Makoko.
The award-winning NGO, founded by Orondaam Otto in 2012, has engaged over 5000 volunteers across 12 different countries who have actively participated in realising the vision of the organisation.
2016 seems to be an unstoppable year for Slum2school Africa. In February, the first Early Childhood Development Centre was launched in Makoko to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the organisation.
The center was furnished with adequate educational materials and 4 learning spaces to conveniently service 600-1000 children weekly.
And in June, they commissioned the first fully-equipped children health care center in Makoko.
The health center was designed to serve about 2,000 children and will at least reduce the spread of diseases among the school children. The center will also provide first aid services to children in the community.
Thanks to these guys, there will be fewer Nigerian children out of school. Even with these accomplishments, the government needs to play its part and provide necessary amenities to children living in remote parts of the country.

Tiwa Savage is going international in her new deal with Roc Nation. The rumors started flying in May about her possible record deal with Jay Z’s Roc Nation.
The hype got bigger when popular entertainment consultant and A&R, Bizzle Osikoya, shared a post about Jay Z’s interest in Tiwa’s music catalogue.
And guess what, Tiwa Savage and Mavin Records Boss, Don Jazzy, are currently in New York and even shared pictures of their meeting with Jay Z.
She’s set to finalise her deal with Roc Nation and that means she’ll be rubbing shoulders with artistes like Rihanna and DJ Khaled.
It’s surprising to note Don Jazzy’s participation in this deal despite his discomfort with D’banj’s deal with G.O.O.D Music in 2012. It’s hard to forget how that drama led to the split-up of the great Mo’Hits records.
This deal is major and shows that the only way for Nigerian music is up. Congratulations to Tiwa and we anticipate even more awesome music from here!
