Well, Today is the Day Popular Nollywood Yoruba Actor – Femi Adebayo would get a taste of what Social Media Criticism feels like.

That doens’t change the fact that blogs and online media house got the picture

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been offered millions of dollars for the first pictures of their new born son, Saint.
According to TMZ, the offers came from various magazines, ranging from $2 million to $2.5 million.
The magazines want more than just a head shot of Saint; they want the full family, including North. Candid family shots are part of the offer.
However there is a snag; Sources state that at this point they’re “almost certain” they will reject all offers. You may recall, the last time around, Kanye unveiled the first pics of North West on Kris Jenner’s talk show. That show is long gone, but Khloe’s got a new show launching in a few weeks.”
LOL. The Beef and Competition Between Nigerians and Ghanaians is Hilarious. We all know right now that the biggest bone of contention is Jollof rice.
Apparently, it has been historically proven that this delicacy neither originated in Ghana nor Nigeria, but not everyone agrees with or are even aware of it.
Two female students of Nigerian and Ghanian origin studying at the College of South West London, UK were suspended indefinitely for fighting over this matter.
Lateefah Oyedepo was cooking her jollof rice the Nigerian way when Tracy Osei Assibey told her that she was going about it all wrong by using fat grain rice, instead of long grain rice.
Lateefah then retorted that the Nigerian way was the right way and that the classic recipe was of Nigerian origin. She also said that Ghanaian jollof tastes disgusting! It quickly escalated from there.
This wasn’t just a simple fight, fists were involved. The fight started in the kitchen of their fifth floor apartment and moved to the streets.
It went on for about two-and-half hours, until further catastrophe was prevented by one of the college’s lecturers who is Sierra Leonean.
The ladies basically went at each other over something they know nothing about. This situation perfectly shows that ignorance isn’t bliss!
Moi-Moi, Efo Riro, Egusi, Banga, Ogbono, Mishai, Rice n Beans, Akara, Suya, Amala, Fufu, Eba, Ifokere, Jollof Rice, Garri, Fried Potato, Chicken peri peri, are your mouths getting savoured? Hehehe… There are a Hundred and Seventy million reasons why we love Nigerian local delicacies.
The country boasts of the most populated people in the African continent which makes it one of the very many things that distinguishes it from other countries in the continent.
Its multi-ethnical composition and cultural diversity. Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups and of course, has several distinct dishes and delicacies from the different parts of the country.
The country’s local cuisines have become so popular that there is almost not a country in the world where you can’t find a Nigerian restaurant that serves indigenous Nigerian delicacies.
As we are in the light of Christmas, YBL counts down the top 10 most loved Nigerian dishes which the country’s citizens consume almost everyday and can be found in almost every local restaurant in the country.
10. MOI MOI
Moi Moi or Moin-Moin as some will call it, is a Nigerian steam bean pudding which has its origin from South West Nigeria.
The major ingredient in preparing this mouth watering dish is bean pudding. It can be made in combination with egg, crayfish, corned beef, onions, or sardine to give it that added taste.
This quite tasty meal can be served with other Nigerian dishes or probably eaten alone as a snack.

In a bid to cut wasteful spending, Ghanaian President, John Mahama has banned public officials from first class air travel.
The government said on Tuesday that the ban has come into effect as the country implements an IMF aid deal to revive state finances.
The presidency issued the directive this week asking all ministers and other top officials to avoid “unwarranted” foreign trips on the public purse, Communications Minister Edward Omane Boamah told media.
Finance Minister Seth Terkper told Reuters on Tuesday the cabinet is also discussing a financial accountability bill which would impose penalties such as dismissal or jail time for public officials who are found to violate it.
The schedule would impose penalties such as dismissal or jail time for public officials who are found to violate it.
“It is expected to be clear enough to enable the general public to see malfeasance if there is any and hold the agency involved accountable,” he added.
Aisha Musa has been living in the crowded Minawao refugee camp for seven months, she’s been surviving by selling corn meal at the local market.
Aisha was kidnapped by Boko Haram militants who killed her family, and forced her at gunpoint to become a jihadi bride. Speaking to CBS news, she says:
“They show you a gun, and then whatever they say you have to follow their command,” Musa said.
She said her captor would lock her in during the day and at night, he would rape her.
“He would go on operations and kill people, and then come home and force me to be with him.”
Musa was rescued by the Cameroon military, but the worst of her ordeal was finding out she was pregnant by her rapist.
“I am not enjoying that I have a baby from a Boko Haram man,” she said. But she is resigned and there are moments of tenderness between her and her young child.
Musa never saw the Chibok girls but often heard the fighters speak of them. Like many of the other girls, they too were forced to marry the militants.
In a double injustice, many are now stigmatized by their community. Girls like Musa are regarded as spoiled goods — her baby a very public reminder of a cruel and unfair shame.
Pirates of the Caribbean crooner, Johnny Depp, has been named the most overpaid movie star in Hollywood by Forbes magazine after posting a string of box office flops.
According to Forbes, Depp, who is one of the highest-paid actors on the planet with estimated annual earnings of $30m, returned just $1.20 for every $1.
His poor position is due to the financial failure of movies such as Mortdecai, Transcendence and The Lone Ranger, all of which bombed at the box office.
The Lone Ranger took the biggest hit with studio Disney estimated to have lost upwards of $150m on the western, while comedy Mortdecai pulled in just $47.4m at the global box office against a production budget of $60m alone.
Sci-fi thriller Transcendence only just recouped its $100m production costs. All 10 actors on the “most overpaid” list are male.
Second on the “most overpaid” list was Denzel Washington, who returned just $6.50 for each $1 he was paid – still more than five times what Depp recouped.
Forbes’ most overpaid actors in Hollywood 2015.
1. Johnny Depp: $1.20 per $1
2. Denzel Washington: $6.50 per $1
3. Will Ferrell: $6.80 per $1
4. Liam Neeson: $7.80 per $1
5. Will Smith: $8.60 per $1
6. Christian Bale: $9.20 per $1
7. Channing Tatum: $10.80 per $1
8. Brad Pitt: $12.00 per $1
9. Ben Affleck: $12.30 per $1
10. Tom Cruise: $13.60 per $1
The Edo Government on Tuesday repealed the Act establishing the Customary Court of Appeal in the state. Governor Adams Oshiomhole, signed the Amendment Bill into law, declaring that the Customary Court of Appeal had ceased to exist in the state.
He said one of the reasons for the scrap was that more judges were needed in the high courts for quick dispensation of justice.
The governor noted that it was unthinkable that not less than 6000 cases were hitherto pending before only 24 judges of the high court.
Following this new development, the judges in the court were automatically transferred to the State High Court, thereby increasing the number of the State high court judges from 24 to 30.
While the male actors cloud the Hollywood’s overpaid actors, the most bankable stars are made up mostly of women. Captain America, Chris Evans is the big winner, returning a whooping $181.80 for every $1 he receives in salary, thanks to his role in Captain America and The Avengers films.
The next four slots however are all women, with Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Emma Stone.
Forbes breaks its numbers down by looking at the last three films each actor starred in before June 2015, not including animated films, movies where the actor had a minor role, or movies that were released on fewer than 2,000 screens, which excludes all independent films.
The amount it took to make the film was subtracted from the total box office and that number for each of the actor’s last three films was then divided by their salary for those three films.

Rivers State Police Command has admitted to killing a final year student of the University of Port Harcourt, Oghenekevwe Edah.
It’s being reported that the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Operations), A.A. Muhammed, who delivered a condolence message to the deceased’s family on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo, promised that justice would be done in the matter.
According to PUNCH, on Tuesday, Oghenekevwe was returning from a church on Sunday and was standing at the Assemblies of God Church Junction, in the Alakahia area of Port Harcourt, when a police van driving against traffic hit him.
The police were said to have attempted escaping from the scene, but were held by passersby who compelled them to take the victim to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, where he died.
The police were said to have denied killing the victim, saying they only picked him from the road after he was knocked down by a vehicle.
It was however learnt, on Tuesday, that the police had admitted to killing the student. His younger brother, Emmanuel Edah, said Oghenekevwe’s death was painful to the family because he was their breadwinner.
He said:
“I was in Delta State when one of his roommates called me and said he had been knocked down by a police van. I was told that he was coming from the church when the van hit him and the police wanted to reverse their vehicle to make it look as if they were on the right path, but people held them down and forced them to take him to the hospital.
“I got to the emergency ward of the hospital and I was told that he was dead.”
He said the victim’s roommate reported the matter at a police station and he later went to make an entry as well. He said the police contacted them on Monday and the ACP promised to get justice for the victim. He said investigation revealed that his brother was killed by a highway patrol vehicle.
Lamenting the death, Emmanuel said:
“We are seven in my family and two of us are the only boys. For the past 15 years, he had been doing professional photography and event coverage. He took care of us with the money and use the rest for his education. We want justice and nothing less. We have decided to follow the case legally and not take laws into our own hands.”
The SUG President of UNIPORT, David Dariereka, said the students would stage a protest in the school. He said:
“We are not going to take it lightly with the police because we have discovered that he was killed by a highway patrol van and we have been able to trace the vehicle.
“We have asked our lawyer to take the matter up and soon, we will be having a protest to show that we will no longer condone this kind of thing. On January 1, we also lost a student on that road.
We are going to use this to remind the authorities that human life is very precious and we can no longer be killed like fowls.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad, declined further comment on the case, saying the police wanted to conclude investigations.
“We want to conclude our investigations, so for now, we will not say anything again on the matter,” he said.

The quite popular Sit-ups exercise are falling out of favour among fitness experts who say they should be consigned to the ‘dustbin of exercise history’ because they may cause back damage.
Personal trainers and military advisers in the US now believe that sit-ups are dangerous because they put too much pressure on the spine.
According to Daily Mail, they say that men and woman should replace them with the plank pose, which is when you stay in the upward part of a press-up.
The US Army has already put 10,000 soldiers through a pilot of a revamped physical-fitness test that excluded sit-ups.
And one study found that 56 per cent of all soldiers’ injuries related to the old fitness test were because of sit-ups. An editorial in Navy Times, which covers the US Navy, recently called for sit-ups to be banned completely.
