Remember when Nollywood gave us this type of scene repeatedly in the 90s? Lady cruises down the road in her sleek Daewoo sports car. Picture her as Susan Patrick. Suddenly, the car slows, she says "damn it!" And slams her palm on the steering wheel in frustration. She pulls over and steps out in this trouser suit and high heels. She opens the bonnet and stares at the engine, confused.  She stands beside the car, unsure of what to do next.  (Somebody that would've climbed Okada since to where she's going). Suddenly, a Mercedes 230E pulls up in front of her.  It's Kenneth Okonkwo and his almighty dimples.  He says, "hi young lady, seems you're having troubles with your car."  "Yea, I don't know what the problem is. I have a meeting I can't miss." "Hmm, let's see..." He does abracadabra while touching the engine and radiator, the car starts immediately.  No spanner, no engine oil, nothing!   She qu...

Enioluwa is this, he's that. But Enioluwa don first una get babe wey set.  We're talking international baddie.  With all the lipgloss and softness, he's loved and deemed worthy of commitment.  Why Eni; why not you that knows how he should act as a man? You see him holding a pretty chic's hand on the streets of Paris - and you don't think he deserves to live his life because of how he presents.

As a content creator, if you get an opportunity with a brand, don't abandon your platform. Whether you have 2k followers or 5k, don't let that bigger platform dictate your path.  You may feel like you've elevated because of the pay and exposure from the big brands, until you realize nothing is promised. Let me tell you a story about a popular American radio personality, broadcaster, and DJ Ebro Darden.  Ebro Darden is a big name in the radio scene.  He's best known for co-hosting "Ebro in the Morning" on Hot 97. A popular radio station in New York City that focuses on hip-hop and urban music. He's an influential figure in hip-hop and had beefs with artists like 6ix9ine and Drake.  People wait for his opinions on trending topics, they listen to his insightful commentary like the Bible.  He hosted the Ebro in the Morning show for 13 years, until it was cancelled in December last year.  Having made a huge impact as an OAP, naturally he...

Ladies come ooooo On Tiktok, I saw some babes and even hair vendors now using Kiss Lube Gel (lubricant) on their pixie curls. The after result was very very nice. It brought back the curls, in fact it seemed like the curls were thicker, it also made the hair really shiny. The wig/hair end results were reallyyyyy fine. Watch video on the comment section.  Anyways, ladies. What do you think? Are you open to trying it?

A troll decided to try Korra in a recent livestream.  If you know Korra well, once she loses her cool, she goes all the way in. The person told her to go back to Naija - that she was taking from their country.  I liked her response to the troll. She said there's no such thing as freebies in the States and she and other imm+gr+nts pay their taxes Despite being a 'You-ess' citizen, nothing is being handed to her on a platter, not even welfare support from the govt.  Like if she slips and falls while twerking, $3k go fess comot from her akant for medicare.  So what exactly does the person mean by living off their land? According to her, the only thing she's enjoying is good internet, security, making her type of content freely without any har+ssment. And she can get a home anywhere as a single lady (unlike where she comes from). Actually, they're the ones benefiting from her, she said.  The huge amount she pays in taxes from shaking her small nyash is w...
