Payporte says #BBNaija “has not seen anything wrong with what Debbie Rise did,” and that is a disgrace

Earlier today, a Twitter user shared with us screenshots of a conversation with Payporte, headline sponsor of the ongoing #BBNaija reality competition. The show is currently embroiled in controversy regarding the disqualification of Kemen for his sexual conduct toward fellow housemate T-Boss. This, however, was not the first time someone in the house would be... Read More

The Sexuality Blog: Kemen’s #BBNaija eviction shows we have made progress but we still have a long way to go

Even though we still have a long way to go concerning sexuality, gender and women’s rights; the events of last night on Big Brother Nigeria and the reaction to those events prove we have come a long, long way as Nigerians. For those who don’t follow the Multichoice and Endemol produced reality show, the Big... Read More

Debie-Rise should also have been disqualified from #BBNaija for sexual harassment, and here’s why (WATCH)

We understand that our society views these things through skewed lenses but it is incredibly pertinent to point out that sexual harassment is not a gender-specific thing. Men can be abused, assaulted, harassed and/or exploited just as women can. And kissing a man in his sleep, after he’s spent hours rejecting your advances, is inappropriate... Read More

The Media Blog: ‘Jemeji’ is Africa Magic’s latest telenovela, and we can’t wait to watch it tomorrow!

Continuing the pattern kicked off by Hotel Majestic (which, by the way, we miss dearly) and continued by Hush (which continues to thrill us even though we hear it wraps up in a month,) Africa Magic will be launching a new telenovela tomorrow. It’s called Jemeji and, if only because of this promo image we... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: Did Senator Murray-Bruce and Minister Amaechi bury the hatchet?

Well, that’s what it looks like. Last we heard of both of them as an item, they were in a dirty Twitter fight. But this was a year ago… Senator Murray-Bruce posted a two-pronged tweet targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari and one of his ministers which was apparently, Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi who had been...

The Film Blog: The AMVCAs are tomorrow and our only wish is that A Trip To Jamaica leaves empty-handed

We suggested before that the AMVCAs might need to do some soul searching after all, what could explain the presence of the atrocious A Trip To Jamaica on the list of nominations at all? Let alone, Best Movie (West Africa) and Best Screenplay. We’re doubtful the movie even had any screenplay to begin with as AY’s... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: Saraki and Utazi are now trying to confuse us over this anti-corruption speech, abi?

So these people must think we’re babies. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Anti-corruption, Senator Chukwuka Utazi has just come forward to take the fall for the speech he gave on behalf of Senate President, Bukola Saraki at the National Dialogue on the Fight against Corruption organised by PACAC on Thursday. Saraki (through Utazi)  heavily condemned... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] They have a list of 11 things Buhari has done to promote accountability | we have 11 he hasn’t

At the first day of the 2-day National #CorruptionDialogue organised by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption in Abuja, the Presidency bragged about the 11 things the President has achieved so far as regards transparency and anti-corruption during his 22 months in office. It turns out, though, that we didn’t even have to think hard... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Let’s just admit it, Aisha Buhari is a star!

The other day, we said we were sceptical of what the wife of the President’s game plan was with the Aisha Buhari Foundation after she opened a school and orphanage in Borno State. She’d said at the ceremony that her drive was “born out of her passion to improve the living condition of victims of conflict and... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] Did anyone at the Presidency really know about Buhari’s latest phone call?

A statement from the Royal office in Morroco says King Mohammed VI held a phone call with President Buhari yesterday where he inquired about his health status and commented on his noteworthy improvement. However, no one from the Presidency felt the need to brag about this until 10 minutes ago. The call happened yesterday. The... Read More

[The Legislative Blog]: Hon Dogara spoke at the Wives of Reps members retreat and these responses sum up our thoughts

After our rant earlier today, the House of Reps Members Wives Association retreat held in Abuja as scheduled. It’s not like we had a way of stopping it or anything but still, we hoped someone would come to their senses and just cancel the waste of a gathering. Anyway, it held and today’s special guest...

[The Legislative Blog]: There’s a House of Reps’ Members Wives Association and they’re holding a retreat today? Wawuu

We’ve come to the realisation that there is plenty of nonsense going on at the top of the political ladder in Nigeria and we can’t quite exhaust them if we had to make a list. The newspaper editorial above is the latest madness we came across and we’re not even as upset about the existence... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] What to think about Aisha Buhari’s new foundation?

From the start when she asked that we refrain from calling her the annoying but customary “First Lady” while embracing the “Her Excellency” prefix before her name, we knew we were in four a tenure with a strange wife of an enigma of a President. This is the point where you pity our Nigerian first... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] “Acting President”, “Vice president” or maybe just “Mr Cool Catchprashes” Osinbajo

This morning, our Editorial meeting started with a “deep” argument about how to refer to President Osinbajo now that he’s boss has chosen to leave us with an “Acting President” even while we are being bombarded with reasons to believe that the office of the President has become vacant for reason of it’s holder being...

BellaNaija remains at number 1, Zikoko slips out of the top 10 | The YNaija online (web) ranking

Eat Drink Lagos vaults into the top ten, seeing a boost in buzz over the past week in particular, likely the result of a controversial restaurant review.

ROK TV vaults into the top 5 this month, moving past fellow Nigeria focused cable channel EbonyLife TV to clinch the Number 5 position.
