naija food

Food is essential for everything living on this planet. Without it, one could suffer malnutrition, starvation, and ultimately death. Now that we’ve established how crucial nourishment is, what happens when you are in diaspora and you can’t find food that you are used to? Imagine not being able to smell locust beans Iru, or taste stockfish in a steaming bowl Efo riro. I’m salivating just thinking about it. The more time you spend without these Naija foods the more evident it becomes as your hair begins to fall out and… Just teasing nothing like that happens you just have to…

harmattan

Some countries have snow, some hale, some have blocks of ice raining from the sky and for some bizarre reason we’ve had cases of fish falling from the heavens but here in West -Africa we have Harmattan. It’s intense dust and haze enveloped in cold dry weather. For people still in awe as to what it is let me defog that for you. Harmattan happens as a result of wind blowing through the eastern part of the Sahara as a result picking up particles of sand and dust. As this builds up, it sucks moisture from the air as it…

“Every country that you go to, usually the degree of progress can never be separated from the woman. If you in a country that’s progressive, the woman is progressive.” – Malcolm X Not many appointed for the progress of Nigeria as we’ve seen present and yesteryear have handled being in close proximity with the countries finance very well. Do not get me wrong here, I’m not saying this to throw shade on any appointed administration (in as much as I want to) but I’m here to exult a woman who was most recently rewarded for her immense achievements in the…

Transcorp Hotels Calabar carnival 1 9 Most Beautiful Cities in Nigeria.

Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey… People aren’t as willing to obey Nigeria’s call anymore but that doesn’t take away from the reputation she has built for herself since her independence in 1960. From then till now, Nigeria has become the 7th largest country in the world and the largest in the whole of West-Africa. With an estimated population of over two hundred million citizens, Nigeria boasts the strongest economy on the African continent which is due to its huge exportation of petroleum. This amongst others is what makes Nigeria hugely relevant in Africa. That brings us to today’s discussion;…

Valentine

(Valentine is coming, Where is your…) It’s almost about that time for lovers to celebrate each other and exchange gifts. Yay! I’m sorry if I don’t sound so excited but I’ll be spending Valentine’s day watching Netflix alone so you should understand the hostility. I’m pretty sure Saint Valentine is tossing and turning in his grave right now. He didn’t die a martyr for this. Who would have thought his death would spark a whole cultural love frenzy aeons later. My apologies for being a Debbie Downer; I just felt the history lesson was necessary. Anyways, Valentine is slowly upon…

Top 10 Tourist destinations in Nigeria

Tourism is an essential part of the internal revenue generated by any country. With the rich historical culture Nigeria has, you’d expect it to sour the highest in that regard, but sadly it does not. In 2017 the World Economic Forum reported that Nigeria ranked 129th out of the 135 African countries in tourism and travel, which does not improve the country’s general outlook. Despite the disturbing images portrayed in movies and on the news, Nigeria is a beautiful country filled with sights that will make your vacation alone or with the family a memorable one. From beautiful waterfalls, parks,…

Sydney Talker

Anthony Robbins said “It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.” In order to stay relevant in the entertainment scene here in Nigeria and I’d like to say in the world consistency is really important. And, when it comes to making a tough crowd as Nigerians laugh consistency can only get thus far. With that said, one viral Instagram comedian by the name of Sydney Talker has struck the balance between consistency and the natural talent of making people laugh. His talent and illustrative facial expressions have given him the…

It’s been roughly 4 months or thereabout since Apple announced the iPhone 12. It was good to see that some of the rumors were accurate.

Top 10 Most Visited Websites In Nigeria 2020

This year, It dawned on me as well as others I presume that we took our freedom for granted. Putting it simply the saying “You know what have till it’s gone” made mad sense.

O2TvSeries

Growing up, watching movies series and cartoons were one of my favourite things. Right after chores on Saturday, my siblings and I will sit across the television with our breakfast and catch up on movies and cartoons we’d missed. This is relatable to every Nigerian kid that grew up in the late ’90s to early ’20s should be feeling nostalgic already. Sigh, good times. As though we aren’t kids anymore, O2TvSeries has been a part of our lives. Right from when all we had small screens and 2GB SD cards. Operating in the shadows and enabling us to keep up…
