One night, I was strolling with my girlfriend when a hummer jeep packed beside us and wind down, he signalled to my girl to come but she turned and looked at me and I being a gentleman nodded in agreement for her to go, after all, I trusted her completely.After few minutes of conversation which I couldn't hear, I saw my girlfriend opened the door and entered. I was shocked! I went to them and said, "Wha's the meaning of this?!"They just sat in the car looking at me as if I was an idiot.I became angrier when I saw the stupid guy laughing at me, I shouted at my girl and ordered her to come down from the car at once. She shrugged and calmly said, "Please Deprinzy, stop embarrassing yourself! Go home and I will send you recharge card later."I didn't know when I fainted!

6 Words You'll Need To Survive In Lagos
Lagos has become home to people from various tribes in the country – the Igbos, the Hausas, the Tivs and a lot of them.Part of the reasons people come to live in Lagos is because it’s the commercial capital of the country and as thus, there’s a lot of business going on. But truly, how do you do business if you can’t get about in the local language which is Yoruba? Here are a few Yoruba words that will help you whenever you’re stuck in Lagos.
1. E kàárọ̀/E kaasán
E kàárọ̀ is the Yoruba word for ‘Good Morning’ while E kaasán is for ‘Good afternoon’. Throw that in when you’re at the office with the cleaner instead of the regular ‘Good Morning’
2. O wa
In a Lagos bus and the bus conductor calls your bus stop? Your response should be “O wa”. Else, the bus will drive past and you can’t do anything.
3. E fun mi fisi
You know how you walk into a local buka and you’re not satisfied with the amount of food they’ve given you? “E fun mi fisi” is the magicword. Say it and keep a smile and small portions will be added to your plate
4. Ẹ ṣéẸ ṣé
is Yoruba for ‘thank you’. So when you need to show gratitude to someone for a favour, pop in this word
5. E joorE joor
is Yoruba for ‘please’. So when you getinto trouble and need someone to help out, say “e joor” and who knows?
6. Bẹẹ ni/Bẹẹ kọ
Bẹẹ ni means “yes” in Yoruba while Bẹẹ kọ means “no”. Would be really helpful if you have to go to any market in Lagos
What other Yoruba words will you teach a visitor to Lagos?
11 Things You Cant Say To A Nigerian Mum
Nigerian mothers are a special breed.Saying one thing now and meaning another thing the next minute. As hard as they may seem they are also extremely sensitive so these are a few things you should never ever say to your Nigerian mom .
1. ‘Shut up’
This is probably the biggest mistake you will ever make in your life. Nigerian mothers love to talk and so you must love to listen.
2. ‘This food is not sweet’
Then you better not want to eat anything she cooks again
3. ‘You’re looking fat’
Especially after she told you last week that she was on a diet. Get ready for your silent treatment.
4. ‘Can’t you figure it out’
You’re not allowed to say this even if you’ve shown her how to change her whatsapp picture 38 times.
5.’Your dress isn’t fine’
Even if the dress looks like something that something from the 60’s you tell her its beautiful.
6. ‘I love daddy more than I love you’
If you say this to her just expect the ‘after all i have done for you’ speech. It’s not nice.
7. ‘I’m not wearing that outfit to church’
Then you’re not definitely not going to church.
8. ‘No’
Big mistake!
9. ‘Never’
Biggest mistake.
10. ‘You can’t force me’
That’s when you’ll realise that she has the strength of a thousand men.
11. 'Do Your Worst'
Just get ready for your funeral

Post UTME scrapped in nigerian universities
The Federal Government Thursday
scrapped the conduct of post Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME)
for candidates seeking admission into
higher institution.
The government explained that all tertiary
institutions were at liberty to conduct
screening for candidates seeking admission
into any school.
Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu
Adamu, said this on Thursday in Abuja
after declaring open the 2016 Combined
Policy Meeting on Admissions to
Universities, Polytechnics and other higher
institutions in Nigeria.
Adamu, expressed confidence in the
examination conducted by the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
, adding that there was no need for other
examination to be conducted by
universities after JAMB.
He said: “As far as I am concerned the
nation has confidence in what JAMB is
doing. The universities should not be
holding another examination and if the
universities have any complain against
JAMB let them bring it and then we
address it.
“If JAMB is qualified enough to conduct
tests and they have conducted test then
there will be no need to conduct another
test for students to gain admission.”
The Minister also asked the JAMB to stop
extra charges on several categories of
changes on admissions such as the change
of course, change of school and others.
Meanwhile, the JAMB has pegged the cut –
off mark for admission for 2016 at 180.
The 180 benchmark, applies to all
universities and higher institutions in the
country, including polytechnics, colleges of
education, and others.
JAMB’s Registrar and Chief Executive
Officer, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, after a long
debate with delegates from various
institutions, told journalists that no
institution would go below the 180 cut-off
set by the board.
He said: “180 is given, no institution will go
below 180 this year, And some universities
can go above it, I know University of Ife
will not go below 200 and University of
Lagos will not go below 200 and also UI. All
these ones stand but 180 as bench mark
for others.
“This year we have more than enough
candidates, we have over 1.5 million
candidates so we will get enough
candidates to take in all the schools if they
are serious. Re-distribution is already
ongoing, because it is embedded in the
registration procedure.”
