All Youtube video make it look like it is very easy, but when you try it out, you end up looking like a masquerade. For all those who have mastered the art, kudos, because it is hard…

2. When your wig decides to fly away

Being a woman is not easy. It comes with so many troubles and it takes some serious survival skills to make it through this sexist world.


Below are 12 things women have to go through like daily and this makes life a bit harder for women.

1. Doing makeup is just too complicated

The Daily Times which quoted the DailyGlobeWatch said the petition was co-signed by the duo of Dr Osadolor Ochei and Mr Kola Edokpayi and addressed to the acting EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu.

The organisation reportedly accused Oshiomhole of diverting a substantial part of the funds borrowed by his administration for his private use.

It also accused the governor of enriching his close associates while also claiming to have substantial evidence to back up its claims.

The group attached what it thinks is enough evidence to back up its claims.

Read the fullpetition below:

“On April 5, 2012, EFCC acknowledged receipt of a petition titled: “A call to investigate Governor Adams Aliu Oshiomhole’s multi-billion naira mansion in Iyamho, Edo state,” which was signed by Matthew Edeghase Esq.

“In addition to the said earlier petition, we add that the cost of the controversial mansion, that was designed and constructed by Verissimo (a South African architect), is valued to be about N10 billion.

“The size and scope of the mansion completely negates all possible explanations for the source of Oshiomhole’s fund, which he had used for the construction.

“In 2014, Oshiomhole paid N23 million, via an Access Bank cheque, to Edo state government for a parcel of land he claimed to have seized from the federal government at Okoro Otun Avenue, GRA Benin city.

“At present, he is erecting a multiple-floor Saddam Hussein style bunker on the land.

“Our investigation also shows that Oshiomhole bought the Guinness Guest House located along Reservation Road, GRA Benin city, soon after he was sworn in as governor in 2009.

“The property was quickly converted to the office of HANI and ASSOCIATES, a consultancy firm that has supervised all civil construction works in Edo state since 2008.

“We are reliably informed that Oshiomhole allegedly bought the building for over N100 million.

“A ship-like building is currently under construction along Golf Course Road, next door to Benin Club. Mr Hamed Useni, the managing director of Hani and Associate, Oshiomhole’s business associate, is allegedly fronting as owner. It will interest the chairman to note that this company is the sole consultancy firm for all civil works in Edo state for which he allegedly charges over 10 percent of all contracts.

“Apart from his current residence, which he built with his campaign funds in 2007 and the new Okoro Otun house, Oshiomhole is currently constructing another mansion in Abuja where he has planned to move to, after handing over on November 12, 2016…”

”AUNTY LAILA : MMM DO ME STRONG THING OH!

”It started on the 19th June 2016, My Friend introduced me to this MMM of a thing… I obliged and Joined… It was paying well, there was no comma or full stop, not all.

”Till I opened an account for my cousin who shared the same surname. Fast Forward,,, MMM ADMINISTRATOR placed my account on temporary moratorium of getting help as they provide and get help in the system on 13th September 2016 and told me to verify identity of which I did.

”After that, I kept on contacting MMM Support of which they assured me they will remove their God forsaken temporary moratorium which they have used to scam thousands of participants (not only me) as i found out they do it secretly and MMM fortifies its system with this… That also account in a way how they pay 30‰ to their teeming community of 30% earners (Guiders,referrals and ordinary participants)… Only for my account to be blocked by the administrator earlier today that I used two accounts that the registration and referral bonuses have been deleted while my #90,000 I paid since when I started MMM which yielded 189,000 naira parted with the blocked account.


”Even as it hurts me being my first time to be scammed. I will like Nigerians to thread with caution with this MMM of a thing and keep on pursuing their dreams as there is dignity in Labour. MMM IS A SCAM. For the Record,,, My blocked account in MMM is et4ita01@outlook.com with #189,000 trapped in it.

”The account am accused of violating their policy is Etetimita345@gmail.com which is also on their temporary moratorium (meaning another scam as that was how they started with my account et4ita01@outlook.com) Attached are supporting documents / screenshots before MMM CONTROL AND REVISION OFFICE (CRO) played a fast one.”

A Nigerian man has cried out on how he has been scammed by the popular money doubling scheme called MMM.


In a mail sent to Laila Ijeoma, the man shared screenshots of how it all happened, how he got introduced to the scheme by a friend and how all went smoothly until kasala burst and his account was blocked with his 189k trapped in it forever! Read the mail below:

Mike Asukwo draws, paints, designs and sculpts and all of this he does with passion. He studied fine art at the prestigious Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, Nigeria and majored in Sculpture after ‘running away’ with all the awards he was eligible for.

He has participated in many art fairs, salons, workshop and exhibitions. He has been part of many outdoor sculpture projects around Nigeria, especially Calabar, Cross River state.

Making cartoons is funny and yet serious business. Some of Nigeria’s best cartoonists are Mike Asukwo Eb, Basatti and Michael Emenine.


Telling stories using art in a comical manner is a trademark of these cartoonists, most times their works come out funny, and sometimes they can be very condemning.

Here are some really good cartoons of Buhari:

1. Ministerial appointment lists are no joke

In a statement issued by Prof Julius Ihonvbere, the secretary to the Edo state government, the President Buhari will use the occasion of his historic visit to pay a courtesy call on His Royal Majesty, Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II.


The president will thereafter commission several key projects in the state, including the new 5-Star Central Hospital in Benin City; the Upper Siluko Road, the Samuel Ogbemudia College (formerly New Era College, Benin City) as well as the Edo University, Iyamho and the Ugbegun-Ujiogba-Ebudin-Igueben -Ewohinmi road.

It was gathered that the president will also inspect the reclaimed Queen Ede Erosion site, in Benin City.

The statement added: “Party leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, public servants, market women, civil society groups, students, youth organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations and the general public are invited to warmly receive the President and join him as he commissions the projects as part of the “Finishing Strong, finishing Well” agenda of Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole.”

Governor Oshiomhole, who became governor eight years ago, will formally hand over to his successor, Godwin Obaseki on Saturday, November 12.

Speaking about his legacy some weeks ago, Oshiomhole said: “I want to be remembered as a factory worker who worked and laboured as a daily paid worker in the most subordinates post in textile mill.

“Rising to become leader of the textile union and eventually spending eight years as NLC president, then going back home to confront the most feared and vicious godfathers that monopolised Edo state.

“I fought godfathers, which is essential to make way for liberal democracy.”

Buhari’s planned visit to Edo state will be the second in the space of two months as he visited Benin City in September to campaign for APC before the state governorship election.

How much about these currencies can you remember?

With the present economic recession in the country, which of these currencies would you prefer to be using as a Nigerian?

These coins below could be called the ‘big boys’ of the Nigerian coins, as they were introduced much later in 2007. The 50 Kobo coin was made from the Nickel, the N1 coin was made from Brass plated steel, the N2 coins were made with Copper plated Steel.

So far, only the polymer notes have the three major Nigerian languages, Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba, inscribed on them. They are also the only notes bearing the Nigerian flag.

17. The ‘coins era':

There was a time when coins were the ‘it’ thing. The Pence were mostly made from Gold, while the Shillings were made from Silver. These days they have become ‘extinct’ and even the Central Bank of Nigeria tried to bring them back into circulation with the introduction of the N2 coin, it didn’t catch on as the value of the Naira has been on a steady decline.

16. The 1000 Naira note:

The 1000 Naira note was introduced in 2005, becoming the highest denomination of the nation’s currency. It is also the only Nigerian banknote that has the engraved portrait of two prominent Nigerians, Alhaji Aliyu Mai Bornu and Dr. Clement Isong, who were the first and second indigenous Governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria. The back shows a picture of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s corporate Head Office in Abuja.

15. The 500 Naira note:

The 500 Naira note was introduced in 2001, and shows the engraved portrait of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The back shows a picture of an offshore oil rig (why not? Nigeria is known for its oil after all).

14. The 200 Naira note:

The 200 Naira note was introduced in 2000, and shows the engraved portrait of Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, the first Premier of Northern Nigeria. The back shows Pyramid of bags of agricultural commodity, fruits, vegetables, cattle and livestock farming. This probably refers to those early days of trade by barter, or shows that Nigeria is a country that is rich in agriculture.
