NBC = Nigerian Broadcast Commission Every now and then, NBC gets it in their heads that they should ban a few songs. I think they get bored and decide that they should flex their muscle and ban something, just in case people have forgotten who they are and/or what they can do. And that, my people, is how they came to ban this new batch of songs. So, here's a list of the songs that just got banned for having lewd lyrics or visuals. Normally, I know what that means, but per NBC's Read More
Scandal has finished me. That is the summary of this post. Like many other people, ever since I started watching Scandal, I have been unable to stop - not that I want to. I want to talk about yesterday's episode: YOLO (Season 3, Episode 9). We already know that Mama Pope is alive. We had to wait two weeks to find out why and how she's still alive.

This is a question that has been keeping me up at night: what will I do with a hundred million dollars? Choi! I have been picturing going to bed as a "normy" and waking up as a millionaire superstar.

Still, it's shocking when someone who is much larger than life and seemingly immortal does the human thing and dies. His daughter Zindzi Mandela, 55, was actually watching the premiere of the new film about her father - Nelson Mandela: The Long Walk To Freedom, starring Idris Elba - when President Zuma Read More

Before social media, stories like this went untold, and even if they were told, it was by word of mouth, and by the time you heard, it was only a version of it you heard, and not necessarily the true version. But with media outlets like YouTube, well, seeing is believing. The gist of this post is that Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State told a widow to go and die because she dared to block the road during a sanitation inspection in Read More
