Boko Haram bombs bridge and kill 8 persons in Yobe

According to reports, suspected members of the sect arrived around 7:30pm in motorbikes and operated unhindered till 2:00am. I will never understand how these things happen. These men were on the loose for over 6 hours and no one could stop them. I see where they get their boldness from – they seem untouchable. In the attack or should I say demonstration, 8 people were killed and a major bridge destroyed. The attack happened yesterday night July 28^th in Katarko town, Yobe state.

Photo of the day: the way forward in Nigerian politics

Happy people, you all know that it is election period in Nigeria and Nigerian politicians are not relenting in their efforts to get votes by all means possible. Giving out food items such as; cooking oil, rice, garri and so on seem to be the way forward. I have seen a couple of pictures with politicians' faces on food items. I find this quite hilarious I must say.

The fact that these politicians really think that Nigerians deserve to be bought with these items, is just really funny. I am wondering why they didn't think of feeding the poor long before now. Doing it now is definitely questionable. 

I really hope that Nigerians display integrity and don't give away their rights just over food items that will only last for a moment. 

Oh well, what is my own with politics? Please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.

Plan goes wrong for a female suicide bomber in Kano this morning

Monday inspiration: don't be paralyzed by fear of failure

Happy people, I am always excited about Mondays because I get to share my most important posts with you all. Here is today's one. I hope it inspires you to get rid of the fear of failure. I wish you a happy and productive week ahead. Enjoy!

Early last year, I was about to move from one stage of my life to another and I was paralysed with fear of the next stage. One of the reasons why I was so afraid was the fact that I dreaded what would happen next. I was living in constant fear of failure that it literally paralysed me. I was unable to move forward or think of any other thing. All I could think about was whether what lay in store for me would be success or failure.

Photos: Tiwa Savage being African

The elegant Tiwa looked simply stunning in this outfit and no one can tell me otherwise. Tiwa wore this beautiful outfit to label mate, Dr Sid's traditional marriage to his boo Simo Osomo today. Happy people, you like? The guys, thou shall not commit too much looking because she is already taken (tongue out).

Remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.

Breaking: Suspected Boko Haram members storm Adamawa state, soldiers and residents on the run, scores killed

Happy people, I really hate reporting bad news but I couldn't help this one because I am totally furious about this story.

According to reports, the community of Garjida in Gombi Local Government Area of Adamwa State is currently under attack by the Boko Haram sect.

DailyPost Nigeria sources say scores have been killed in the attack which started at about 5pm.

Many residents have fled the community in attempt to save their lives, while several others cannot be accounted for.

"Soldiers deployed around the area were said to have fled as a result of the heavy artillery at the disposal of the terrorists" - DailyPost.

Photo of the day: "Egbeda pool party in Lagos"

Happy people, here is one of the many reasons why I love being Nigerian. As Nigerians, we are really good with making the impossible possible and having fun no matter our social class and affordability. If we want a pool party and a proper pool isn't available, we simple make do with what is available. After all, what's important in a pool is the water in it.

I found this picture quite interesting and innovative too. Someone said it is an Egbeda pool party in Lagos. I am sure they had fun or what do you guys think?

Anyway, enjoy your weekend and remain happy. Xoxo.

Photo of the day: A lady proposes to her man and he said yes!

Yeah you read right! This seems to be the way forward (some men take damn too long to make up their minds). Let's see the next excuse he’ll have now. 

I found this picture quite interesting and this lady so brave. I don't know how many ladies can actually do this. If you are able to, please do because sometimes men just need that push to make up their minds since they are often confused (hehehe). If you really want something, you should make the effort to get it. Congrats to them. Happy people, do you think it is awkward for a lady to propose to a man? As a man, would you say "yes"? And as a lady, can you actually ask him to marry you? Let's talk about it.

Remain happy and keep enjoying your weekend happy people. Xoxo

Photos: Victims of Kaduna Blast in "HOSPITAL"

Happy people, this is what a hospital in a country that is supposed the richest economy in Africa looks like. Hospitalu kwa? I weep for this country. Should this even qualify as a hospital? A health facility should look better than this, won't you agree? And the Governor is squatting in one pic to talk to the victim (how nice of him).

Mbok and Biko, I wish all the victims a quick recovery so they can get out of this "hospital".

Remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo. More pics below.

Photos: yours truly taking advantage of the unsteady weather in Cape Town

When you look like me, you surely must love taking pictures of yourself (tongue out). Anyway, I was out and about in the city today. Then I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to take pictures and they turned out really ugly I think.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend and remain happy. Xoxo. See more pics after the cut...

Update: Kano bomb blast kills one, injures eight

I am really finding it difficult to keep up with these explosions in Nigeria. Reporting it is even getting me depressed. Anyway, according to reports, a blast occurred near New Road Motor in the Sabongari area of Kano city this afternoon. According to police sources, the explosive was hidden in a table top fridge disguised as luggage.

The number of causalities is uncertain but reports claim the blast killed one person and injured about eight persons. Once again, my heart goes out to all those affected by these unfortunate incidents directly or indirectly.

Remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo 

Oh Wow! Have a look at Nicki Minaj's Artwork for New Single, Anaconda (Rated 18+)

Hmm and I was just reading something about her toning down. Oh well, toning down must be relative and this is what it definitely means to Nicki Minaj. Maybe the toning down only had to do with the hair. Love her or hate her, she will always be Nicki. 

The controversial rapper unveiled this artwork for her new single titled "Anaconda" this afternoon. The song will drop on Monday 28th. I can't wait to hear this song o. Please if this picture offends you, I am sorry about that biko kwanu.

Remain happy and spread happiness around.

UNILAG undergraduate, Moshood Abiola Invents Maths Game for a more Interesting Maths Experience

Moshood Abiola

This is the kind of news that excites me. I have never had any doubt that fresh ideas abound in Nigeria and I believe there is more to the youths of Nigeria than mere crime and corruption. The government and corporate bodies should endorse and encourage youths like these rather than waste their money on irrelevant things.

A final year student of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, Moshood Abiola has narrated to P.M. News how he spent ten years to invent a new maths game for primary and secondary school students.

The 26-year-old Mathematics Education student of UNILAG, said he had always thought of how to help younger minds erase the fear that mathematical equations posed to them but did not know how to go about it.

“At a point, I thought it was not possible because everything I came up with was counter-productive,” he said.

Breaking: Missing Air Algerie Flight AH5017 Carrying 116 Persons Crashes Over Niger Republic, No Survivors Found

Two bomb explosions rock one city in one day?

This Boko Haram must be thinking they are untouchable. They unleashed their terror on Kaduna today with two explosions. The first explosion took place along Alkali road, central Kaduna, killing about 25 people.

Photo of the day: a beautiful lady every man should date

Someone posted this pic on twitter with the caption, "guys can you date her?" I don't know why he asked that. Happy people, please is there anything wrong with a man dating this beautiful lady?  If I was a man I would totally date her. I think she looks really amazing. What do you guys think?

Please enjoy your night and remain happy. Xoxo.

Question of the day: What is the difference between sex, f**king and love making?

Okay happy people, I have been trying to understand the difference between the three things mentioned above. I actually thought they meant the same thing I guess I am wrong because a friend just told me otherwise.

So she said she is breaking up with her man because he told her he wants to have sex with her. Hmmm! I was ok with her reason and thought she wasn’t ready for that and was doing the right thing.

President Johnathan finally meets with the parents and escaped Chibok girls

Finally, GEJ met with the parents of the Chibok girls and the escaped girls in the presidential villa today. I have been reading different criticisms about his meeting. Some people think it was long overdue. As for me, I am just thankful that he finally had this meeting and thanks to the 17 year old Malala for her wisdom. Here is the part I love most about his statement;

“Our commitment is not just to get the girls out, it is also to rout Boko Haram completely from Nigeria. But we are very, very mindful of the safety of the girls. We want to return them all alive to their parents. If they are killed in any rescue effort, then we have achieved nothing,” President Jonathan said to the parents and community leaders present at the meeting.

Monday inspiration: Self awareness as key to success

Yesterday evening I accidentally watched a music talent show (Idols SA) and I couldn’t just stop laughing because it was totally hilarious. It was Idols wooden Mic. That category which simply belongs to the big ‘dreamers’. The people who believe that they are talented singers and no one can tell them anything different.
