‘SHAKU SHAKU’ – An attempt to be funny goes wrong
October 30, 2018

Google, the world’s biggest and most preferred search engine held its second edition for ‘Google for Nigeria’ and revealed some of Nigeria’s top searches. ‘How to dance shaku shaku’ was one of the top searches. Little wonder the vice president Yemi Osinbajo decided to make a joke about the dance, knowing full well how ‘passionate’ Nigerians are about the dance. That didn’t go down so well for him though. Speaking as a special guest of…

The ‘Happy’ singer is unhappy with Trump
October 30, 2018

Barely a few hours after the Pittsburgh shooting, President Trump played Pharrell Williams’ song ‘happy’ at a political event. This didn’t sit well with the singer. In fact, he banned him from using his music. Williams’ lawyer highlighted his song was used in violation of “copyright infringement” and “trademark rights.” “There was nothing ‘happy’ about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday and no permission was granted for your use of this song for…

Slow Sunday mornings with my eyes fixated on Macron
October 28, 2018

Love is not love if it’s one-sided, right? Well, he hasn’t seen me yet. He would definitely love me back. I mean who wouldn’t? Silly conversations I have with myself on a Sunday morning. I put on the TV, and there is Emmanuel Macron’s ever calming face. I am not a lonely woman, No, No. Saying the above, especially while accompanied by the two ‘No’s, helps my ego a great deal. How could I be…

From Me to Donald Trump; Get the fuck out of here!
October 26, 2018

Homemade bombs had been sent to the homes of prominent Democrats and Donald Trump’s critics. The bombs were packaged in manila envelopes with bubble-wrap lining, according to the FBI. They each bore computer-printed address labels and six American flag stamps. So far, 10 suspicious packages have been found. All 10 packages went through the US mail system, according to multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation. And just as expected from Trump, he took…

Maybe, we shouldn’t have let the white man go.
October 25, 2018

Nelson Mandela once said “if you talk to a man in the language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart”. When it comes to logical thinking, you are often told to think with your head and not the heart. There are two types of people in this world. Those that act on emotional impulses, and those that are able to rationalize…

“Abuja rail running below 100km because we don’t want to kill cows”- Chibuike Amaechi
October 23, 2018

In Nigeria, there is nothing like race, people do not discriminate against each other based on race. Everyone here is black, we all look like each other, and as such, there are other forms of segregation like tribe, class etc. Maybe this has been in existence for a while, but it has become more prominent these past 3 years. So in Nigeria, it wouldn’t be out of place to say there is the human race,…

If you own an iPhone, then you are rich
October 22, 2018

A study conducted earlier this year suggests that if you own an iPhone, you can consider yourself rich. The research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that 69.1 percent of people who own an iPhone are predictive of having a high income. Hol’up hol’up….before you start shouting I’m rich I’m rich! May I point out that this study logically, and without any doubt doesn’t include those with a smashed screen. Neither did…

In Germany, no child goes through High School without learning about the Holocaust.
October 21, 2018

One striking thing about the Germans, they grow up aptly aware of who they are. No single child goes through high school without learning about the Jewish Holocaust. They are taught that the Holocaust was an unfortunate event, that it happened because of Hitler’s authoritarian nature. They are taught that had Hitler been more rational, the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened. They often compare it to the Katyn massacre and the purge in the USSR (which…

Obama shuts down the 7 biggest excuses for not voting
October 21, 2018

Barack Obama just shut down all those ‘valid’ lame excuses you keep so very close to your heart. He called out some of the weakest reasons that people chose to abstain from voting with these excellent responses. And believe me, they are both entertaining and informative. 1. I don’t care about politics. Look, I don’t care about Pokemon but that doesn’t mean that it won’t keep coming back. When you opt out it allows others…
