Outspoken Nigerian activist keeps forgetting she’s married to the president

Meanwhile, experts have suggested the unusual pain experienced by the first lady might be because “she often stretches her neck to look for solutions outside the presidential villa when they are right beside her”.

Big Brother Naija: A timely palliative for restless Nigerian youth

Mr President sir, it is because of this that we believe that distracting them will be the best option to douse the tensed atmosphere of the nation.

From pit to palace: The rise and rise of Nigerian prisons

When you roam about Facebook, for instance, you may come across a Kande Kurushepe going by the new name of Yummy-Kandy Krueger-Sheks. Why? She has now acquired a cheap made-in-China Brontel Android phone and has caught up with the teeming webizens of the 21st century on the World Wide Web.
