A Thai woman identified as Ejan has gone online to show the result of eyebrow tattoo job she did.
According to the woman, she paid just 200 baht for the pair of tattoos that were just thick lumps that look like caterpillars.
“I met the tattooist through work, He said he had done his wife’s and they looked OK. So for only 200 baht I thought why not. I never thought they would be that thick”.
Ejan is not the only victim of an eyebrow tattoo gone wrong as there have also been similar cases in the past.
Kanyarat Chaichan, 26, was left with thick, black, strangely shaped brows thanks to a not-so-brilliant job by an inexperienced tattoo artist.
Keen to hop on the full brows trend, Kanyarat had invested in tattoos to fill in her naturally light eyebrows.
But things went a bit wrong. Sadly, Kanyarat knew she couldn’t afford to have her new eyebrows removed, so she decided to settle in and accept the 1cm wide slugs above her eyes.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said the odds of initial dwindling oil prices did not discourage his administration from setting targets for lofty developmental projects and achieving more in three years than the 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) misrule.
The president, according to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu, said this at the palace of the Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Muhammadu Sanusi, during his two-day visit to Jigawa State.
President Buhari added that his administration was delivering on promises with clear-cut targets, prudent management of resources and a deliberate policy to plug wastage and pilfering of government resources.
He said the growing support his administration currently enjoys can be attributed to the understanding of Nigerians of the unpleasant realities it inherited, and the efforts to reposition the economy in spite of “what the opposition keeps sponsoring in the press’’.
President Buhari directed the Minister of Water Resources, Eng. Sulaiman Adamu, to work with the Jigawa State Government to alleviate the challenge of water scarcity in the state capital, following a complaint by the Emir of Dutse.
On arrival in Jigawa State, the President began his engagements at Auyo, near Hadejia, where he inaugurated the expansion of an irrigation scheme and paid a visit to the Emir of Hadejia, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar Maje.
The president, who was received “by a tumultuous crowd”, thanked the Emir of Hadejia and his people for always supporting him, even when he was an opposition candidate.
He said his visit to Hadejia was more of homecoming, promising to give more attention to the needs of the people in the Emirate.
In his remarks, the Emir of Dutse commended the Federal Government for its efforts in addressing the challenges of corruption, terrorism and drug abuse in the country.
The emir requested that the Date Palm Research Centre in Dutse, currently under the National Oil Palm Research Institute, be moved to the Federal University, explaining that the research centre would be more relevant and functional in the university.
Both emirs held special prayers for the President and his administration.

He had earlier revealed that the said jet would be arriving Nigeria in the coming weeks but it seems that may not be true as they report he didn’t buy any jet.
According to the news outlet:
Our source has exclusively revealed that what Davido went on air to announce is actually “fractional ownership” in which his financial commitment in the arrangement is meagre while the major financiers have chosen to play down their involvement to give Davido conceded prominence.
According to our source, conceding prominence to Davido in the private jet ownership is part of a business deal to make Davido very bankable in the showbiz industry.
This arrangement is to present Davido as a viable brand with a view to cornering lucrative deals from multinational businesses, countries and other foreign entities.
The guys at the vanguard of the jet ownership narrative are said to have agreed on a sharing formula with Davido when the deals start coming in.
The jet upon delivery would be deployed to Davido’s peripatetic needs and those of others in need of it.
TheCapital has exclusively obtained information revealing a good number of Nigerians on this membership plan but whom have been reported to be jet owners.

Other corp members standing close by can be heard offering words of encouragement while filming the scene playing out in front of them.
After much effort that yielded very little result, other corp members joined in to help push the female corp member up the ladder.
It was a tough battle but the corp member seemed determined to get to the top of the ladder, and she did eventually.

I don’t care who you see me in a picture with or who the Internet associates me with because.’
‘The Internet is fake af and they pull stories out of their asses for click bait. It’s the price of fame I guess but it’s not real life because in real life Shayaa is my heart and soul. He’s the only one that has ever supported my Slutwalk and my feminist views with no fucks given. ‘

Miracle’s brother, Captain Igbokwe, has now reacted to the allegation.
Reacting via Instagram Live, Captain Igbokwe said the woman known as Juliet is actually their Aunty and that it is disrespectful for anyone to allege that Miracle has anything amorous to do with his own Aunt.
He said: “Juliet is Miracle’s aunt, it is insulting because someone is hurt or you have been unable to see Miracle outside the house then try to fabricate stories.
“In our family, we love each other dearly and down to earth. And then someone calls my aunt, my brother’s sugar mummy it is unfair. How do you expect people to see her in public, this is a woman who has a reputation?”
According to him, ‘EFCC needs to have a waiter stationed at every club in VI and Lekki’. Online stores and stores on Admiralty/Fola Osibo in Lekki are all used for money laundering’.
He has now clarified that not all stores on Fola Osibo are fronts for fraudsters.

Davido and Sophia Momodu have both set aside the difference & scuffle they recently had aside and turned up for their daughter, Imade’s birthday party in her school in Lagos.
Apparently, this is coming just days after Davido flew to Atlanta to celebrate and party with his second daughter, Hailey.
Recall just few days ago, Davido and Sophia were at each other neck, throwing shades..
This was after Sophia claimed her Instagram account was hacked, even though some folks on social media claimed she deleted it due to heavy trolls she got after her baby daddy, Davido bought his girlfriend, Chioma a Porsche as an assurance of his love for her.
According to the fans, she wasn’t getting the singer’s attention despite the fact that she has a baby for him.
Shading his baby mama, Davido took to social media where he mocked her excuse of being hacked. This shade made Sophia Momodu fire back by telling him to go play with his b*tch, perhaps referring to Chioma.
With the heat between them last week, one wouldn’t expect to see them standing this close together. Well, let’s hope it continues this way cos many quarters have argued that she has a better assurance from the singer due to the baby she has for him.
Stunning Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has taken to her social media to mock an ‘ex-friend’ of hers who has according to her, just gone under the knife.
The beautiful mother of one who was criticized by many on social media after she underwent plastic surgery last year revealed in her post that her so called ‘ex-friend’ was one of those who discouraged her from undergoing the procedure.
Tonto Dikeh took to Instagram to throw shade at her ‘ex-friend’ and even though she didn’t mention names, her fans have been dropping names from Halima Abubakar to Toyin Lawani.
Nigerian Afro-beats musician, Seun Kuti has given his thoughts on the recent condemnation of internet fraud in Nigeria as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, intensifies its war against corruption and financial crimes.
The quite outspoken musician in his reaction, stated that these so called ‘Yahoo boys’ will remain the ‘Mugus’ until they dupe the whites and use the money to develop communities, until then, they remain the real losers according to him.
Recall that public opinions have remained divided over the arrest of internet fraudsters in Lagos State recently.
Seun Kuti wrote,
“Wetin yahoo boy dey take money do? No be to buy expensive white man things? Lol. If they weren’t busy buying White man drink but building their communities maybe just maybe, I will see dem but I don’t. Steal white mans money and the only way u can express that wealth is too seek validation by consuming the most expensive white man things and u say u are a Gee? All Yahoo boys are Mugus for whitey still, dem be learner. Wait that 100k u used 3 months to set the job how long did it take Gucci to collect it back? MUGU. Until we can express our success outside of white validation thru their brands and luxury items of status and class, U STILL BE MUGU”
The media went agog when David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, released a piece of news about his acquisition of a private jet.
Quite a good number of people assimilated this information hook, line and sinker but probing minds have been questioning the veracity of Davido’s claim.
What does it really require to own a private jet? Does Davido have the financial resources and logistics requirement to own a private jet? Has he truly bought a jet as he claimed? To what extent does he need a private jet? What does he intend to achieve by saying otherwise if he has not bought it? But pray, his billionaire father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke does not even own one.
Our source has exclusively revealed that what Davido went on air to announce is actually “fractional ownership” in which his financial commitment in the arrangement is meagre while the major financiers have chosen to play down their involvement to give Davido conceded prominence.
According to our source, conceding prominence to Davido in the private jet ownership is part of a business deal to make Davido very bankable in the showbiz industry. This arrangement is to present Davido as a viable brand with a view to cornering lucrative deals from multinational businesses, countries and other foreign entities.

Of a fact, buying a private jet is a herculean task. Jet prices range from $3 million to $90 million. It has been found out that about 85 per cent owners buy second-hand aircraft; and depending on the size of the aircraft, it can cost between $700,000 and $4 million per year to run your own aircraft. For most multi-millionaires tired of travelling first class, but are not ready to fork out a chunk of money for a jet that will run up bills for years, the alternative for them is membership scheme for private jets at the approximate cost of a first-class airfare.
TheCapital has exclusively obtained information revealing a good number of Nigerians on this membership plan but whom have been reported to be jet owners.
