  A Nigerian woman, Sefi Oyeyemi, was born in Abuja in 1896. She lived through both world wars, saw the country be led by tens of politicians. In the Nigerian Book of Records she is listed as the oldest living person in the world - on March 14, she turned 126 years old. Sefi managed to outlive not only her peers, but also many children of her peers. This great-great-grandmother regularly undergoes medical examinations. Every year the doctors say the same thing: she’s as healthy as a horse, she could give astronauts a run for their money in that regard. Despite such a long life, Sefi Oyeyemi rarely left her countryside home and always refused whenever her children would offer to move her to the city. Her children were, naturally, concerned about leaving a woman of such age alone. But Sefi couldn’t care less about her age. Sefi Oyeyemi lives in a large wooden house, which was built by her late husband. The elderly woman takes care of the residence. Besides that she also has a 10 acre...

Now, all what I am about to tell you in this article are all my personal opinions based on my experiences and observation on the industry so please, no need to break bottle on someone's head.  You can choose to agree and learn from it or not. So let's go.  - ACTING IN NIGERIA WILL NOT MAKE YOU RICH.  Acting will put food on your table but it would not make you rich. Most Nigerian Actors and Actresses who you think are rich are not really rich. Most of the rich ones know how they became rich and it is NOT through acting. Read that again.  Remember, this is not America (Hollywood). This is Nigeria (Nollywood) and it's a whole different ball game here. It would shock you to know that there are so many young new actors who are living from hand to mouth. They can barely survive. It's sad but it's the truth. Some wait for months before they can even get a single role. Some would have to audition for months before they can bag a movie role. Some dont even have money to tra...

It was in the afternoon. On the 24th of December. I just came back from work having been sacked from my job. My boss has really been a pain in the neck for the past few months. He kept on over working me while still paying me less. For the past 4 years I haven't gotten a salary increment. Yet I work like a horse. The frustration really got to me. Collecting just N10,000 as a Security Officer living in a city like Lagos is just not the gate way to heaven. From waking up as early as 3 am to prepare for work to rushing to catch the early morning bus inorder to beat the sunrise traffic is really a hustle. Most times I get to work early enough other times I get there late. My wife on the other hand has not really been on the patient side of life when it comes to matters that concerns the family. We have no kids yet but still things were difficult. Every day she keeps on nagging and complaining that I'm not providing enough for the family. Sometimes she doesn't let me rest as her...

A picture of him together with the host of the Big Brother Naija Show Host Ebuka Obi Uchendu together with some other guys at an event have been circulating twitter. The picture was found on Kiddwaya's twitter page and has been presumed to have been posted by him years back and it has gotten mouths talking. The picture looks old. It probably was taken years back. This shows both Kiddwaya and Ebuka have known each other for years. Did Ebuka really mastermind his entry into the house? Is Ebuka the "connections" he claimed to have that got him into the show? Has everything been pre-planned before now? Will Ebuka manipulate his winning the show? Well like they say, connections really matters in life. Well for those that think you can go into the show on your own without any "connect", you have to think twice after seeing this. This is N...

"How can another woman carry my own child in her own womb for nine good months? That's absurd! Am I not a woman too? Will that make her the mother? Will the child be more attached to her than me? What will people say?...What will they think? Will I have a bond with the child? These are some of the vocal thoughts of most conservative women in Africa especially in Nigeria when it comes to the topic of Surrogacy. In developed countries, the concept of surrogacy has been widely accepted by majority of women and men. But before we go further, we need to understand what  surrogacy is and what it entails.  Surrogacy is an arrangement often supported by legal agreement whereby a woman (the surrogate) agrees to bear a child for a person or persons who later becomes the child's parents.  In gestational surrogacy, an egg is removed from the intended mother or an anonymous donor and fertilized with the sperm of the intended father or anonymous donor. The fertilized egg, or embryo...
