Last week it become official that Wizkid had dumped telecomms company MTN for another Globacom, in a deal that is reported to be worth a N100 Million Naira.

Well, according to a recently released statement by Wizkid’s manager, Sunday Are, we are made to understand that it is actually more than the money.

In the statement, Wizkid said that Globacom is a brand he had admired for a very long time considering its strong presence and its very massive influence in the entertainment industry in Nigeria.


“Globacom is huge in my industry and I see the evidence of the company’s commitment to improving the industry and the lives of its practitioners everywhere I turn. To be honest, it’s been a dream to have a working relationship with the Glo brand. An opportunity to turn this dream to reality came, and I took it.”
It’s an incredible blessing to be sought after by arguably Nigeria’s two most powerful brands at the same time. My decision to go with Globacom this time is not an act of spite against MTN. I simply seized an opportunity to move from Yellow land to greener pastures. God bless”

Living Football legend, Lionel Messi has confirmed he is expecting a second baby boy with his model wife, Ms Roccuzzo.
Argentine newspaper Clarín had earlier revealed not only that Ms Roccuzzo is with child, but had gone as far as claiming that it will be a boy and it even has a name already!
That name is Benjamín, the same name that Messi’s good friend Sergio Aguero gave to his child with Diego Maradona’s daughter, Giannina.
Messi and Ms Roccuzzo already have one son together, Thiago who was born in November 2012.
The Argentina skipper loves his family so much he has the name and handprints of his infant son tattooed on his calf.
H shared this on his official Facebook account, saying

ireneony:

Hmmmm

banjicom:
,Maximiliano! ,Maximiliano!! is that suppose 2 be a name.

MAXIMILLIANO means the greatest. ***for Olamide's mind***

Rapper Olamide shared a photo of himself and his 3 months old son ,Maximiliano.

Last month, Amber Rose took to Instagram with a heartfelt message about wanting her baby’s father, Wiz Khalifa back. Khalifa didn’t say much publicly about his wife’s post. Perhaps that was because he was busy pouring his heart out on
Rico Love ’s “Somebody Else (Remix),” which features Usher and the “See You Again” rapper.
On the track, Rico sings about temporarily reuniting with a former lover who has moved on to someone new. Usher jumps on the track sending a bit of a different message. Instead of following Rico’s lead, he sings about “really” wishing his ex would move on. Some have claimed that he’s speaking about his ex-wife Tameka Raymond, but we’re still on the fence about that.
The Wiz-Khalifa raps:
Thought I had it/ All the magic, I couldn’t imagine/ That it would all end tragic /Automatically I’m the bad one/ I was only doing us/ Gave everything, a kid and house And a wedding ring/
And now you talk about you could do better things/ How did we get this way? How do you entertain that bullsh-t? Why you even care what Instagram got to say? Now when you see me, we don’t act the same/ Smiling on TV tryna hide the pain An empty seat where you used to be with me on the plane /That empty hole in my heart Will I ever love again? /You had your way and you know it Ain’t thinking forward, you still in the past Ain’t gon’ lie, I spent some time thinking if we could’ve lasted Screaming ‘F-ck the world,’ I know what’s behind those glasses Rollin’ up another joint thinkin’ bout the last Being alone ain’t what you wanna be And me with a girl ain’t what you wanna see Truthfully, it’ ain’t you, it’s me.

1) To revive Paul Walker in the film, the technicians took his face frames from other movies, and superimposed on the bodies of voice actors. A feat of technology.

total waste of MB... *Chaiii deris God ooo* #Mama peace voice

Virtually everybody born before the invention of the internet must have heard the tale of a nonexistent football match between Nigeria and India that obviously took place in a parallel universe and somehow we got to hear the gory stories of that match.
Though there are many variations of the story, every prevaricator seems to agree on a couple of facts about this fictional football match. Each storyteller agrees that;
1. This match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal.
2. Nigerians where unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning to a lion (or something scary) to prevent them from playing the soccer ball.
3. The Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score a goal, they would concede defeat
4. Samuel Okwaraji scored the winning goal and lost his life in the process.
5. FIFA banned India from soccer because they used black magic in that very game
With the help of common sense (not that it was absent back then), quick access to information and the internet, every right thinking Nigerian has come to realize that such a story should be filled under “Blatant Lies”.

Why Did This Story Thrive For So Long?
Most people like to pass off this story as true with the fact that no one has ever seen India in an International Football Match. Since no one actually saw India participate in most international soccer games, this gave a little credence to the story. India
Another reason this lie could thrive for long was the fact that credible information was not readily available at our finger tips. It not like every Emeka, Audu and Ojo could visit Google in a matter of minutes and tell our ominous fabricators that they should stop spreading toxic lies.
And to be honest we have a tingling feeling that this lie was concocted by an elder of a community because, let’s be honest who questions the words of the elders in Nigeria. Remember, what an adult sees sitting down a child will never see even if he consults Google, Siri or Cortana.
The Element of Truth In This Story
On the 12th of August 1989, Nigeria lost Sam Okwaraji.
Sam Okwaraji was the player rumored to have lost his life in that game when in truth he died during a FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Angola in the 77th minute.
He collapsed and died of cognitive heart failure. May his soul rest in Perfect Peace. AMEN
So that is the only truthful thing about that story, the fact that a Nigerian player died during a football match. That’s it. The match was not against India, we did not lose the match and as you must have guessed, and there were no lions either.
What Is The Deal With India Anyway?
India qualified for the 1950 FIFA world cup as a result of the withdrawal of their scheduled opponents. But the Indian football governing body, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) decided against going to the world cup, being unable to understand the importance of the event at that time.
Some of the Reasons shown by the AIFF included the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issued and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World cup. It should be noted that FIFA agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses, but it did not really help their decision making.
Was India Banned For Refusing To Play Barefoot?
No.
The 1948 London Olympics was India’s first major international tournament, where a predominantly barefoot Indian team lost 2 -1 to France.
Following the 1948 Olympics FIFA imposed a rule banning barefoot play.
The belief that the Indian team refused to play because they were not allowed to play barefoot is not entirely true according to the then team captain who said it was just a story to cover the disastrous decision of the AFIF.
After the 1950 fiasco, India has never come close to qualifying for the World Cup.
The reason you do not see India in World Cup competitions is because they do not qualify
So Does The Indian Team Wear Soccer Boots?
Yes.
In the 1952 Olympics, the Indian team lost 10 – 1 to Yugoslavia (talking about taking a beating). As a result of this magnanimous defeat the AIFF made it compulsory for its team members to wear boots
Is it Possible to win a match with a 99 – 1 match margin?
Yes.
It is absolutely possible to rake 99 – 1 from a single football match. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and see how this is even possible. Now allow us to digress.
The highest scoring soccer game was 149-0!
You’re probably wondering how a soccer team could be so bad that they let 149 goals be scored, but the truth is it was a form of protest. The event occurred in 2002 after a 2-2 draw between rival teams Stade Olympique de L’emyrne, or SOE, and AS Adema of Madagascar, which resulted in the referees awarding a penalty causing SOE to lose the game.
During a match fixing debacle in Nigeria, the Feeders scored 72 of their 79-0 victory in 45 minutes of play. Police Machine scored 61 of their 67-0 victory in the second half. At one point, they scored four goals in a minute.
Arbroath won Bon Accord 36 – 0 in 1885. It held the largest margin of victory in professional football where both sides wanted to win.
So, yes, given the “right circumstances”, a team could actually receive 99 – 1 beating without any black magic whatsoever.
Did i miss something? Please be sure to let me know in the comment section below

DuchessLily:
I would like my children to believe SOME of these 'lies' ooo... It will help them

Lol It's fun sometimes when you know the truth

Yasher:
I'm sure the OP is a serial victim of one-chance girl friends
Btw, there are no hard and fast rule to these things.

1. Only Criminals Smoke Cigarette
In Nollywood
Smoking is meant for criminals, not just for criminals but the hardened criminals; armed robbers, assassins, drug kingpins, prostitutes and every despicable profession in Nigeria. Oh wait, we forgot to add ritualist to the list, Nollywood loves it when ritual killers smoke cigarettes.
In Real Life
Smoking is not a healthy habit, it has many damaging effects on the health of humans but there is no single correlation between smoking and crime. Like we said, smoking is just a bad habit, end of story. For me, saying everybody who smokes is a bad person, is like saying everyone who goes to church is a good person.
There are tons of responsible people, who smoke cigarettes and the last time we checked smoking is not a criminal offence.
So the next time you see someone smoking, the least you could do is tell that person how dangerous it is to their health instead of judging them already, all thanks to Nollywood.

2. Traditional Worshipers Are Evil[b]
[b]In Nollywood
Traditional idol worshippers are only good at causing wrecking havoc in the life of unsuspecting Nigerians. They are the people you go to when you want to kill or maim anybody you hate for no apparent reason.
The least condescending role assigned to traditional idol worshipers is that of a lukewarm chief priest who receives messages from the gods and at best refuses to collect bribe in favour of a corrupt individual.
In Real Life
If you are reading this, then chances are that you are a Christian or Muslim. Traditional worshippers are a minority in Nigeria accounting for less than one percent of the population.
Traditional worshippers are the perfect villains in Nollywood movies. They have a bad history but that is true of almost every religion in the world. Every religion has killed for a cause, has sacrificed thousands for a cause.
We don’t see other countries making fun of their traditional religion, do you? Why Nollywood?
Besides that, there is no evil religion, only evil people exist. There are bad people in every religion.

3. Every Girl Must Learn How To Cook
In Nollywood
Every girl needs to learn how to cook because if she doesn’t learn how to cook her husband will send her back to her parents when he finds out she can’t cook a decent meal.
In Real Life
We wonder why the feminists in Nigeria aren’t crying foul yet as regards to this archaic plot Nollywood uses every frigging time.
Nollywood sometimes like to exaggerate with scenes of excess salt or too much pepper in the food or burnt meals as a sign of bad cooking we all know that rarely happens.
Even if a girl doesn’t know how to cook, so what? What stops the man from
cooking? Or teaching her? Or making her attend cooking class? Or hiring a maid? Or eating out?
It’s good a girl who knows how to cook; it is not an ultimate skill deserving divorce if lacking.
Take a girl to her parents? Who does that anymore? She will chew you out and spit you out in court.

4. Nigerians Invented Tattoo
In Nollywood
No matter when a Nollywood movie is set, it doesn’t matter if it is 3000 B.C or 3000 A.D as long as it has a village setting, virtually everybody has a tattoo and the village king always dresses ridiculously.
In Real Life
Our ancestors were not that bonkers for tattoos and neither are our village folks, to the best of our knowledge. Instead of tattoos, they should instead give everybody a facial mark, which was quite prevalent back in the days. Oh wait, that would be too complicated for their makeup artist.
When you see a village where everybody wears tattoo, be sure to let us know in the comment section below.
Village chiefs do not dress as ridiculous as they are portrayed in Nollywood movies. The most annoying part is that even movies set in the present day still features traditional rulers in mundane attires.
Apart from first class and second class chiefs, traditional rulers rarely wear their full regalia. They dress in that manner mostly during festival and traditional occasions.

5. Always Take The Words Of A Madman/Village Drunk Seriously
In Nollywood
The mad man on the street keeps saying the plot of the movie but nobody seems to take him seriously because he is mentally unstable. The village drunk keeps pointing out the villain and all his plans but no one heeds to his words as he is supposedly drunk.
In Real Life
The best anybody could get from alcohol intoxication is that you get to tell the truth a lot, that is after you ignore the staggering, slurred speech, nauseating feeling, hangover and not to mention that you are putting your life and the life of others at a huge risk.
Yes alcohol acts as a truth serum, making you more honest. It does not give you the back story to life; neither does it show you the synopsis to everybody’s life on earth.
As for brainsick, pretty much everything they say s useless, why are we even discussing this?
What is nollywood trying to tell us? That we should listen to the wise words of drunks each time they speak or welcome the words of insane men as divine advice?

6. Rich Kids Are Spoilt And People From Overseas Are Disrespectful
In Nollywood
Rich kids are spoilt little brats who have everything they ever want in life and this transforms them into horrible little monsters with no human sympathy whatsoever.
While those from overseas (it doesn’t matter if they went to Ghana for two days) are people with glaring fake American accent, dressed ridiculously in oversized shirts, face cap, eye glasses and oversized shoes (OMG, this never changes). They are always downright disrespectful with no regards to their elders or constituted authority.
Did we mention that they never win when they are in a love triangle?
In Real Life
First of all, you have to visit the United States of America for you to get close to anywhere close to the American accent (that gibberish Jim Iyke does could make your ear bleed). You don’t go to Britain and acquire an American accent, you don’t go to Russia and acquire an American accent and you definitely don’t go to Togo for you to pick up the American accent.
Okay let’s say you even visit the U.S.A. There are hundreds of people who spent years in America who do not have an iota of the American accent. There are also thousands of many more who were born and brought up in America who respect their elders and not as pompous as we are meant to believe in the movies.
Don’t be fooled, visiting a third world country does not diminish your chance of finding true love.

7. Screaming The Word ‘Jesus’ Makes Everything Perfect
In Nollywood
Are you about to die in a motor accident? Scream the word ‘Jesus’ and all will be well
Are you about to drown in water? Scream the word ‘Jesus’ and all will be well.
Did an assassin just put ten bullets in your body? Scream the word ‘Jesus’ and all will be well
In Real Life
You’d be soooo dead
There is a lot to Christianity and how God works than just screaming the word ‘Jesus’.

Cheating. It happens. Does it happen often? Not really. Will someone cheat on you? Hopefully not. But if Robert Pattinson, (Who starred in the twilight series)This generation’s teen heartthrob — can get cheated on, then what chance do you have that your partner will remain faithful?
3 years ago, over 30% of women indicated that they would be tempted to cheat if their partner could never find out
She detaches herself from your family
The fact that she no longer wants to attend your family’s functions or hang with your friends is one of our signs she’s cheating on you. This sign may be indicative of cheater’s remorse on her part, which means that she likely feels guilty about cheating. The less she immerses herself in your circles (which contain people who are painful reminders of her sins), the less mental anguish she’ll have to endure

She nags you incessantly
Gone are the days when the two of you could communicate with harmonious precision. Now, every sentiment you express sets her off and she finds any excuse to lash out at you.
If such an about-face sounds familiar, she may be subconsciously trying to justify her little tryst. Nagging you helps eliminate or at least ease her nagging guilt. So if she habitually begins to point out your every flaw, you may want to get to the bottom of what’s really going on because it’s one of our signs she’s cheating on you.

She has a mysterious friend
A telltale sign that your woman is cheating arises when a mysterious friend inches his way into the picture. Whether it’s someone she claims is a coworker or an old friend from way back, she keeps this friendship under wraps and is hesitant to share any general details about him, much less introduce you. And it doesn’t take a Ph.D. to figure out why.

She deflects simple questions
You should be suspicious of your girlfriend when she refuses to answer the simplest and fairest of questions or answers questions only after repeating them back to you, which usually indicates a mind that’s searching for a lie. Be wary of times when, rather than reveal that she got home at midnight, she begrudgingly asks, “Why do you want to know what time I left the coffee shop?” If she gets defensive about disclosing information that she used to volunteer without hesitation, she may be hiding something or someone and it’s one of the surest sings she’s cheating on you.

She shifts priorities away from you
If she is involved in a hot and heavy romance with someone else, you’ll definitely feel a shift in her daily priorities. Suddenly, there are no more implied Sunday dates at the movies or something always comes up on dance-lesson Thursday. There is a tendency for most philanderers to schedule meetings with their new flame as often as they can, which results in a complete disregard for previous engagements.

She puts more effort into looking sexy
You may like her just the way she is, but that won’t stop her from trying to dazzle her new fling. Just as you tried to impress each other at the beginning of your relationship, she’ll try to impress her new flame with a sudden urge to improve her style, change her makeup and alter her physical appearance for the new man in her life. So, while her desire to look sexier is one thing, not caring about your opinion on the matter is quite another.

She becomes autonomous
One of the biggest signs she’s cheating on you is her breaking away from your little two-person unit to become more autonomous. She has dropped “we” from her vocabulary in favor of “I.” Moreover, she does more things on her own and stops consulting you about future plans. In short, she conducts herself in ways that hint that she no longer needs you to hold her hand. Whether she’s hoping you’ll leave her or she’s simply looking for more time to lead her “double life,” it’s safe to conclude that she wants you out of the picture — she just can’t build up the nerve to leave you.

She has no interest in $£x with you
When your relationship was new, the two of your were full of passion and open to spontaneous lovemaking. Now it’s all a bit iffy, whereby you’re rarely hitting the sheets and you’re only doing so if and when she feels like it.On a slightly more ego-bashing note, she may suddenly become bored by your performance and appear to be thinking about someone else when you do make love. Cheating may be wrong, but you can’t deny that unlawful sex is usually more exhilarating. So, if you can no longer satisfy her $exually, someone else may be rubbing her the right way.

She’s secretive about her schedule
She may claim to no longer have time for any extracurricular activities with you, yet she has one foot out the door the minute one of her girlfriends calls. Either that or she has been “going away on business” one too many times. And when she does leave, her whereabouts are sketchy at best and you are somehow always the last to know.Disclosing her itinerary to you at the last minute and overlooking your plans in the process can mean many things, one of which isn’t that she’s forgetting, but rather leaving you out.

You become irrelevant
What could be worse than a girlfriend who nags you about absolutely everything? How about one who stops noticing that you’re even alive? the opposite could be yet another clue of your loves cheating ways.
All at once, she doesn’t care if you don’t want to go to the ballet with her; she’ll just find somebody else with whom to go. And whatever opinion you may have, be it about how she looks or how you’re feeling, is met with a tepid response. In other words, she doesn’t place the same importance on what you think and what you do as she once did, especially on things that directly affect the relationship.

Keep Jealousy In Check
Don’t delude yourself into thinking that your woman would never cheat and don’t rush to judgment either; if she is guilty of committing any signs on the list, perhaps it’s indicative that something is awry in the relationship. In any case, this is a great opportunity for you to address problems you may not have noticed before scanning this article.More importantly, don’t let what may just be a bad case of jealousy taint your perception of her. Reading her the wrong way or jumping to conclusions can permanently sever a relationship; get all the facts before you confront her.
