While the Yoruba’s have been dubbed the king of parties, and known to go all out for their celebrations no matter how small, a party that held recently in a state in Southwest Nigeria has got people talking.

It’s not new that souvenirs are a part of a Yoruba party; celebrants gift their guests all kinds of gifts, ranging from plastic bowls, Jotters, Umbrellas, soap, matches, and in recent times, power banks, boxes, phones have joined the list of items being shared at parties.

However, in the party that has got people talking unripe plantains were handed to guests as souvenirs, which is quite different from the gifts people are used to.

A video that captured the moment plantains were handed to the guests at the party found it’s way to the internet and stirred hilarious reactions from netizens. See some comments below,

@macdavidworld, “Ibadan people on a special wedding”.

@malikdeking, “Yoruba people are the best when it comes to party”.

@femik107, “Good idea, at least some hungry stomach can be fed. Prices of food items are extremely cost in the market”.

@kemz_kemzy, “Isn’t it better than plastic bowl”.

A Nigerian single mum has taken to Twitter to recount how she graduated from university despite the odds staked against her.

According to the Computer Science Graduate from the Federal University of Technology Owerri, she saw an old picture of her son she took during a class years ago and it brought tears to her eyes as she reminisced on the events that happened when she was an undergraduate.

She said she used to carry her son to class everyday and was battling a bad divorce at the same time. She added that she was also expelled during that same period because her course adviser claimed she physically assaulted him, whereas, it was because she rejected his sexual advances.

Fortunately for her, she was recalled to the university after one month of expulsion, continued her studies with her mate and has now graduated.

The woman with Twitter handle, @shyprecious, wrote,

“Saw this picture today and I was crying like a baby. Was carrying a baby to class everyday and fighting a bad divorce. While at it, I got expelled. My course adviser couldn’t get me to bed so he said that I beat him up. I was a disaster at the time. Look where I am now.”

A clergyman seem to have dashed the hopes of Nigerian pastors who are planning to relocate abroad in search of greener pastures.

The Nigerian pastor who was speaking to his congregation in a video that found it’s way to the internet noted that men of God whose ministries are not thriving in Nigeria, also can’t succeed abroad even when they relocate.

“Men of God all of you that say you want to Go to Canada, it’s not a curse you can’t make it…You have been in ministry but you didn’t make it, you have been in this work 12 years and cant gather 50 people and want to relocate to Canada… You’ll become a security guard there… A lizard in Nigeria cannot been a crocodile in Canada.” He said in part.

His statement has however stirred mixed reactions from social media uses. See some comments below,

@thekanyinsola, “Well he is talking about church business and he’s right.. church business is lucrative in Nigeria.. but for normal hardworking people and country where things actually work is a plus to your success story!!”

@esther.ama_, “Abeg make person hear word , why is he discouraging people, the fact you did not make It in Nigeria does not mean you won’t make it in another country”.

@princessjoyluv, “You are not my God. “Who shall decree a thing and it shall come to pass when I the lord have not spoken”.

Popular Media Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde otherwise known as Daddy Freeze, has revealed that he isn’t angry that pastors are wealthy.

He added that his anger is due to the fact that members of some of these mega churches are poor.

According to the seasoned OAP, it is beyond logic that only 2% of Nigeria’s population has more than 500 thousand naira in their account despite the fact that over 50% are active Christians.

I’m not angry that pastors are wealthy; I’m just angry that you are poor.

It defies logic and reason that only 2% of Nigeria’s population has =N=500k and above, despite 50% of Nigeria’s population being Christian.

This same Nigeria has the worlds largest church auditoriums and some of the worlds wealthiest pastors!

A Nigerian couple have gone viral stir online by wearing isi-agu for their church wedding.

While the bride wore a ball dress made from isi-agu, with her hair pulled back in a low ponytail and elaborate celestial headpiece, the groom wore a two-piece isi-agu outfit and neck beads accessory.

Last month, while sharing the pre-wedding photos, the bride revealed that she truly fell someone when she wasn’t searching for love and it was the best decision for her.

In her words ;

I genuinely fell for someone when I wasn’t searching for love, I was searching for peace.
I was searching for myself and found a friend, who became the love of my life.
Sometimes you need to focus on growing yourself and you run into WHAT’S DESTINED FOR YOU.
