South African ex-contestant of the Big Brother Titans reality show, Thabang Mazibuko has expressed surprise at the unusual food combinations Nigerians eat.

Thabang who has been in Nigeria after the show ended for several weeks with other South African housemates like Tsatsi and Blue Aiva shared his experience in an interview with Hip TV.

He went on to say that he was surprised by the cultural similarities and distinctions between South Africans and Nigerians, emphasizing the rich history of Nigerian culture.

In his words;

“I learned about how rich in culture Nigeria is. I thought South Africa is a place that is rich in culture and great history but Nigeria has so many different cultures, and so many different traditions; they have a really rich history and that is something that I learned that I don’t know.

I learned about the different foods, food ethics, and the way they eat food. I found out that in Nigeria they eat popcorn with sugar and peanuts. That’s weird but okay, cool”, he said with a laugh.

The biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of similarities between us and the things that we eat. But custard I think it is the same thing but we eat it as a dessert but they [Nigerians] eat it as breakfast. That was also pretty shocking.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave your parents’ house” – VJ Adams advises teenagers

Popular media personality, VJ Adams has offered advice to teenagers, urging them not to rush into moving out of their parents’ homes.

According to him, the growing trend of teenagers renting their own apartments is not prudent.

VJ Adams emphasized that teenagers who have the privilege of residing in desirable areas such as Ikeja, Gbagada, Ogbudu, or central locations like Yaba and Surulere should seriously consider staying with their parents until their mid- to late-20s.

He said this would enable them to save a significant amount of money to buy a house or rent an apartment in a few years.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave your parents’ house if you are 17 or 18?” VJ Adams was questioned.

“Think about it. In the next ten years, when you’re 27, if you save N3 million every year as if you were paying rent, that would add up to N30 million. By the time you’re ready to move out, you could purchase a house or even rent one that you can furnish to your liking.” He added.

VJ Adams also shared that he personally moved out of his parents’ house at an early age because of the nature of his job.

Police reacts after female officer alleged she was detained for attempting to resign

The spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has reacted after a young female officer alleged that she was detained for trying to resign from the force.

The officer, identified as Corporal Fauzziyah Isiak, had earlier taken to social media to lament how the Nigeria Police Force allegedly detained her after she submitted her resignation.

Isiak, who narrated her ordeal on Twitter, said she had worked for the force for six years and that she tendered her resignation last year, but it has not been approved to date.

Recounting how she was detained, the officer said that she was called by the deputy commissioner to “show up” on Wednesday for an interview.

She had thought that the call was to finally approve her resignation but was shocked to hear that she would be detained to be tried and dismissed.

“I never saw this coming. I never thought I would be put in detention without interrogation. All I did was try to resign. I have been trying to resign from the police since last year, but my letters were not approved. My boss had called me to show up yesterday, May 24th, to meet the deputy commissioner for an interview.”

“I thought they were finally going to approve my resignation, but the only words I heard were that I should be detained to be tried and dismissed. Due to the shock, I couldn’t say anything as the officer led me away,” she wrote in part.

However, reacting via his Twitter handle, Hundeyin said Isiak did not follow the laid-down procedure.

The spokesperson further said Isiak, who serves in the office of the Imam of the command, “without leave, permission, or discharge from service, absconded from duty for over a month, in flagrant disregard for the conditions of service she willingly signed to.”

“Setting the record straight,” the police said the detained officer did not follow the laid-down procedure. “It is one thing to submit your resignation. It is another thing for the application to be processed, upon which you receive your discharge certificate,” Hundeyin said.

“Until you get the discharge certificate, you remain a serving member of the Force, bound by all extant rules and regulations of service.

“Absence from duty for twenty-one days without leave or permission automatically results in your being declared a deserter. Every serving member knows this,” he added.

Nigerian man aims

A yet-to-be-identified Nigerian man has attempted to set a Guinness World Record by peeling 50 coconuts with only his teeth.

A video making rounds online shows the young man painstakingly peeling the husk from 50 coconuts with his teeth. However, it is not clear if he is breaking a record or setting a new record.

This follows the hype around Hilda Bassey, a Nigerian chef who recently cooked for over 100 hours in an attempt to break the world record for the longest cooking time by an individual.

In other news, a young man has taken to social media to share a story of how a couple, a man and his wife who are his neighbors were fighting over a fish head.

The young man who tweeted the incident said that his mother had to go separate the arguing married couple around two in the morning.

He said that the guy was upset with his wife because she had eaten the fish’s head while leaving him with the tail.

He tweeted;

“If I told you my parents settled a coupes fight around 2 am, the origin being that she ate the head of fish before he returned from work and served him the Tail, would you believe?”

This is why I keep hammering on socialization. Cos there is no way hormones or perceived naturality was responsible for the importance a 40+ man places on the head of fish.”
