Nigerians would watch Americans on Tiktok braiding for $200, open their own salon in Lekki & be like,
Knotless braids - N72k! Appointments only!
One month after reality would hit and they’ll say,
"We now accept walk-ins, take advantage of our 80% discount on knotless braids."
So last month I entered for a competition that was open globalwide and I beat 1758 participants to emerge one of the 3 winners chosen.
Prize was only $1,000 but it made me feel good because it was a test of intelligence
I just thought I should share a little win. 🙈
@uber_that
No husband material out there anymore. Look at the poverty stricken kettle and dirty looking stove of a man that wants to marry. Go and make money first sir. This generation is in trouble.
When my friend broke up with her boyfriend, I joined her to abuse him
when she informed me of all his atrocities,
They reconciled a month after and she jokingly told him I called him cabin biscuit head during their fight.
They finally married & he told her to unfriend me. 🌚
"She’s doing this for clout."
You mean making her brandname unforgettable?
Brand expansion?
Global recognition?
Press coverage worldwide?
1st class invites to culinary events around the world?
Getting a seat at tables where it matter?
If that is clout then by all means.
My friend was filled with so much fear when she japad to the US last year via school because she left a very good job in naija.
She applied to over 700 jobs since January, secured only 20 interviews and finally got an offer with Tesla last week.
This is your sign to just do it.
I think Dora exploras are inarguably the best fanbase of the season.
Unproblematic, supportive without any major celebrity pledging millions.
It was individual votes they used in bringing their girl to last girl standing despite her strong contenders.
Congratulations to Dorathy.
Am I the only one who absolutely loves the recent weather, and thinks Nigeria is currently experiencing one of her finest climates ever, or am I just weird?
You see that Ekiti girl already trying to overthrow Hilda Baci record?
Nigerians are ambitious people but it’s sickening how we exeute ours maliciously.
It you post that you got an abroad job & it goes viral, at least 2 Nigerians would email your company to request for your job
Since Wednesday I have been chewing between 40 - 50 pieces of gum daily.
Let me explain.
I went to buy the ajekpako sachet menthos at a random pharmacy last Tuesday and it was selling for N500.
I did not buy!
The police is shooting in Surulere. The came to pick up Sanwo Olu’s mom at her house in Akerele to a safe house so they are using gun shots to scare people away.
I still remember the childhood friend I did bridesmaid for on a Saturday, spent the next Wednesday at her house gisting and helping her sort wedding gifts. Sunday of that week babe japad without telling me.
Humans are funny 🤣
I’m taking notes from Eromz and Moe’s love story
1. Study Law
2. Become an attorney in the states.
3. Monitor protests hashtags in Nigeria.
4. Offer my legal services to peaceful protesters arrested.
5. Lose concentration.
God will do it for me too.
I don’t know if you understand the gravity of what is happening.
This is 2nd time ever that Nigerians on social media haven’t used humour & memes to make light of a trending issue that is hurting them.
The first time was 20 October 2020
This Jury thing is the worst thing to happen in the history of
#bbnaija
It has created room for biases because the jury would tend to favor those in their circle.
How can those clowns pick Seyi over Uriel?
I went on a date in Amsterdam with a French guy.
While we were dining, my date saw how I was constantly refreshing my Twitter for live scores so he cut short our dinner and took me to a sport bar so I could watch Nigeria beat the shit out of SA. 🤩
#NGARSA
A hard reminder that some of our followers are murderers. Rapists. Armed robbers. Ritualists. Kidnappers. Thieves.
Some days we laugh at certain scenarios with one voice but it doesn’t change the fact that evil people walk among us here.
Earlier this year, a girl in that same Uyo was alleged to have killed her rapist in self defense.
The comments from most men called for her head, even though witnesses on FB claimed the same guy did same to them.
Today Ini is dead & rape apologists are dropping fake sympathies.
This Precious Gaza expose has left me dizzy.
I donated, campaigned on my Instagram urging my followers to donate, made a few posts applauding how rare her friends are and 2 years after we read this shocker???? 💔
Impromptu yet her japa was tied to her marriage plans, rental plan, & 3 months resignation notice.
She used to say I was her closest friend & yet she left just like that?
2 months later abroad loneliness hit & babe was sending epistles for reconciliation.
Leave me I am a witch!
Thank God he dumped you.
Tufiakwa social media women
He couldn’t deal with your stubbornness.
Same man that was begging me to start YT channel?
You didn’t think he it had anything to do with religion, ideals, genotype, race?
Imagine being triggered because I dated a kind man.
Nigerian men in the comments saw ‘submission’ & decided every other thing is irrelevant except that. Lol
Abi you people missed the part where he took up the position of her staff without pride?
In marriage, the duty of submission falls on both parties.
It is as simple as that.
Btw when I said 3 winners it wasn’t a 1st, 2nd and 3rd position sort of award as prize pool was equal.
All 3 of us were awarded same amount but my name was first on the list which technically makes me the overall prize winner. 😂
I just used
@theflutterwave
new product, Swap, to transfer money from my naira bank account to my dutch bank account.
My euro account was credited in 15 mins. I’m impressed 👏
The random people quoting this with silly takes are quite stupid.
I have been posting about our good times on this platform, and I am not afraid to post it ended.
A huge part of my brand since 2013 has been centered about dating and you think I need your validation?
@OfficialDoyin_
Regardless it was still an unnecessary & disrespectful statement to make.
We can attack people but involving their parents indirectly or directly is below the line.
Put yourself in his mum shoes, how would she feel if she watched that?
Veekee James would have probably sold out all those outfits within an hour of posting if the measurements were not designed for BBL bodies.
A lof of size 8 women in Nigeria don’t even have 26 inches waist. 🤷♀️
@UmohUduak1
The criminal is currently two steps ahead due to the information you are sharing online.
He is reading too.
I know it’s difficult to stay silent because your anxiety levels are high but you need to restrain yourself from sharing further sensitive information until he is caught!
I only choose to say this on that particular video because it was my most recent post on him.
Up till the last minute we were together he never compromised how he treated me and vice versa.
Bold of you to think the breakup came from a petty stupid fight.
I really like Angel and Soma’s relationship.
It reinvented Soma, and Angel has a distinct glow.
They are so unapologetic & loud about how much they love each other.
It doesn’t look like the usual bbn ships where the couples primarily care about pleasing their fans.
I wish more men knew how calmness is such an attractive trait.
Soft spoken, composure in public places, reserved yet friendly.
I want the whole package.
I had a lot of friends but this one was top 3 or so I thought. We used to share everything.
When I was considering leaving Nigeria in 2018 she was the 2nd person I told.
I updated her on my progress to the nitty details & when it was her turn she said "Sorry it was impromptu" 🤣
Saga is such a lover boy.
Good looking, unproblematic, caring, hopeless romantic, talented, obviously comfortable and he loves Nini to bits.
This is one of those rare cases where the soon-to-be bride is actually the luckiest girl alive.
It’s apparent that most Nigerian content creators in the diaspora just use Nigeria for aesthetics.
"I CALLED MY AFRICAN MOM"
"My white boyfriend made Nigerian Jollof'
"Naija Pidgin vs American Accent challenge."
"Igbo Makeup on my Nigerian parents."
Bloody sellouts.
When you first step into MMIA that foul smell hits you.
And then you sight that elevator. Is it working today? Is it not?
Next thing, a group of officers bombard you at the bottom of the stairs. At first you’d think they are immigration officers
I think there's a new tax bracket - The "Nigerian force" tax bracket.
GWR just clocked their highest ever engagement because of it.
It is why Chris Brown doesn't want to leave afrobeats.
It is also how Rema gave Selena Gomez her highest song ever to chart - revived her career.
I was the only African in the bar so when the match was over people came to our table to congratulate me. Hahaha
Majority of the guests there were rooting for Nigeria.
I’m happy Carolyn shut down Chioma when she hinted a possibility of reconciliation.
If I called you my friend, and at the first sign of dispute you are running to others to spill what I gossiped with you in confidence during our heydays, we are done done! Forever!
#RHOLagos
My bf asked we can see on Wednesday. I said I’m not sure, i’ll have to check my schedule.
He responded.
Ermmm what’s more important in the world than seeing your baby?
If you people told me relationship convos are sweet like this I would have started dating at 3 years old.
Incase you are looking for me, Instagram has taken down my account.
I’m not sure what my recovery chances are but I’ll push updates with the IG handle; Naijasinglegirlbackup

How I met my new boyfriend😈
Yesterday evening, I attempted buying one pineapple from the roadside and the fruit seller was saying N800 per pineapple.
I said no, N500.
These days I try to get the best bargain when I spend in cash since naira notes are difficult to come by.
My teeth and I have waited all our lives for this moment so we are equal to the task. 💪🏼
I bought my stuff and went home.
My default state since Wednesday is chewing gum.
My mouth has been moving like a machine.
When I think of all the time I wasted on relationship gender wars on 234 twitter I get so mad at myself.
This man is out here at my beck & call showing up for me however I desire - loving, caring, cooking and taking care of me.
Kai! God forgive my ignorant past
She uses the slippery slide to capture attention.
She uses a combination of humor, empathy and word play to pass her message.
She communicated in her target market language.
I see only a brilliant copywriter here.
Once, I went to a man’s house for a movie date during the talking stage and while giving me his apartment tour he said, "This is my kitchen, feel free to look around because I’ll be inviting you to come cook for me."
I never saw him again!

When Akpan’s photo went viral someone said he is innocent because he doesn’t look like a kidnapper.
Men who put women in harm everyday are your brothers! Your dads! Your sons! Your uncles! Your male colleagues! Your male friends!
Rapists do not walk with labels on their foreheads
I told him how much I miss naija banana bread. Then I wanted to pick something on his desk an hour later and I saw his web browser tabs open on Nigerian food bloggers for recipes on how to bake one. He promised to bake me one when next I visit.
So my luggage had unexpected issues during check-in and I thought I could quickly buy a mini luggage at one of those airport shops and transfer my stuff there.
Brethren, the cost for the smallest luggage size was N884,000.
😂
I currently have four admissions offers for a masters program.
One from a university in the UK, and three from the Netherlands. You can bookmark or like this tweet.
I’ll write about it in a thread below.
Call it greed or whatever but I’ve been quietly watching that menthos on supermarket shelves act like it’s one premium product with it’s price tag ($15 in duty free stores sef) and I knew one day God will bring it down to my level.
Thanks for the wishes kind strangers. ❤️
I wish I could thank everyone personally.
It was a contest by a big software company encouraging people to submit ideas on the best product feature(s) they could implement
I lazily participated & the last thing I expected was winning
I sha checked the expiry date and it was slated for February 1st.
No problem.
I was already doing calculations.
6 packs means I have to chew 30 to 50 pieces everyday, and maybe 100 pieces the day before the expiry date.
That girl claimed she was raped & the guy attempted to murder her with a machete when she overpowered and killed him.
You men stripped collectively beat her up to a pulp in public.
You posted her nudes online.
You laughed on Instablog.
You said she should be sentenced to death!
The reason I used ‘only’ is because I know how much this would be worth to them as a business should they decide to implement it.
Unfortunately participating meant waiving our rights.
The idea would have probably died with me, or someone else would have had it so it’s fine.
Speak of the devil. I had to clear my eyes again if it was N400 or N4000.
I quickly returned the sachet ones back to the shelf and packed the discounted ajebota ones, all 6 of them.
I’m a simple girl.
I see 300% increase, I don’t buy.
I see 85% discount, I buy everything.
