1. When you realize that you’re going to have an extra year, you will want to die.

GOD NO!

2. Your sorrow will intensify if the course(s) that made you fail is a course your brain has decided not to know.

What even is this life?

3. This is you watching your classmates graduate without you.

I’m all alone.

4. Eventually you’ll find out that there are others and you’re not the only one.

“Brethren! We’re all in this together!”

5. If you were in the hostel before, you will stay in town so as to avoid people.

I don’t know anybody there abeg.

6. You will also decide to lay low anytime you go to school so you don’t have to explain to anybody why you’re still around.

Nobody must see me.

7. But every single time you step foot on campus, you will run into EVERYBODY you’ve ever known.

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!

8. And every time this happens and you explain, they’ll be like, “Eeyah! Sorry! Take heart. All is not lost.”

Who died?

9. This is you picking elective courses to do so your GPA doesn’t crash.

I MUST NOT graduate with Certificate of Attendance.

10. This is you when your exams are coming and you still don’t know shit.

HAY GOD!

11. You will briefly consider paying someone to write your exams for you.

I’ve seen people do it na.

12. But you know it’s immediate expulsion if you’re caught so you remove your mind from there.

Before Devil uses you.

13. You will read as hard as you can in preparation.

God will crown my efforts with success.

14. You’ll write the exam and commit everything to God.

ABBA FATHER! DO NOT FORSAKE ME!!

15. Then the worst part of everything will begin. Waiting for your result to come out.

High blood pressure will almost kill you.

16. This is you when your results come out and you pass.

MAMA I MADE IT! IMMA GRADUATE!!!

17. Unless your story ends differently and you fail again like I did. Which means that you have another extra year…….

That is another story for another Zikoko post. I need to go somewhere private and wipe the tears from my eyes.

1. When you’re living alone, everyone thinks you’re enjoying because you’re no longer under your parent’s rules but you’re really just suffering.

2. You realise that paying rent is only one of the many things you will be spending money on.

3. You’re too tired to pick up after yourself but you realise there’s no one to do it for you.

4. You get so lonely you start talking to yourself.

5. And you get so bored you actually pick up a hobby.

6. Cooking for one is always annoying and your food always goes to waste.

7. If you don’t cook you’ll have to either have food delivered (just one more thing to spend your money on) or drink cornflakes or garri to sleep.

8. There’s no one to take care of you when you’re sick.

9. And when you hear a sound in the middle of the night there’s no one to go check it for you.

If you think living alone is bad, just see what it is like to be female, single AND live alone:

And will probably die an old and angry person.

4. You’ll wonder if you’ll ever find true love.

Because you don’t want to die old and alone.

5. You’ll wonder if you have an STD you don’t know about yet.

Because you’re a low key whore tbh.

Let my kids not end up broken and damaged like me.

7. You’ll wonder if you’re terrible at sex and all your previous sex partners just lied to you so you don’t feel bad.

Every Nigerian Household Has Had These 7 Kinds Of Visitors

1. Mr/Mrs Money Bags

These are always our favourite kinds of visitors. The big aunties and uncles that always come armed with goodies and never leave without dropping “something” in your hand when they’re leaving. Stomach infrastructure so on point it’s like they all attended the Fayose School of Stomach Infrastructure.

2. The FFO (For Food Only)

These ones will visit your house for the food. It’s all about the food. They will time it to arrive just when lunch is being prepared so that you will have no choice but to add their mouth join.

3. The Picky Eaters

These ones will refuse everything you offer them. They are either watching their weight or height, and if they even end up agreeing to take something, they will never finish anything you serve them.

4. The Poke Nosers

These ones can’t keep their opinions to themselves. They have an opinion on everything. From how you cook your food to how you discipline your children. Uncle, who asked you?

5. The Unannounced Visitor

These ones will never call or text or even “Wuzzup” before coming around. They’ll just show up, like Judgement Day, and start giving you wahala trying to think of what to offer them, getting where they will sleep ready and everything.

6. The “I Just Dropped By” Visitors

These ones are not so bad. Their visit is always quick. It usually starts and ends at the door. They just sha wanted to see your face that you’re alive and they’re gone. Finish. O pari. Shikena. No stress to go and start buying coke and groundnut.

7. The Freeloader

They might have come into your home for a visit, but before they leave they will become a part of the family. They will enter your house with one small bag, then before you know it, their possessions have full everywhere and they do not want to leave again.

And now, here’s a post on the 7 kinds of people you’ll meet at the ATM:

11 Types Of Teachers Everybody Had In Secondary School

$
0
0

1. The Lazy Teacher

The one that’ll come to class and just read their note to you. They won’t explain shit. If anybody asks a question, they’ll immediately give it as an assignment to the whole class. Not because they don’t know it but they’re just too damn lazy to explain.

2. The Oversabi Teacher

This one will teach you stuff they’re supposed to and include stuff they’re not supposed to. They will ensure that you buy 12 different text books for one subject and will set exam questions from all of them. Even with all these textbooks, you’re not safe from notes because every single time they come to class, you will write no less than 7 pages. They will come to school on public holidays, days that there are strikes and will even risk their lives when there are riots going on just so they can come to school and give you notes. They are the worst.

3. The one that just likes to flog people for no (and any) reason.

That teacher that comes from home with their own assortment of canes. They will find ANY reason to flog people. You will even catch them helping other teachers flog!

4. The Joker

That one that will come to class and instead of teaching will start cracking jokes. This doesn’t sound so bad but the teachers that do this are usually not funny. All they do is crack terrible jokes the whole time they’re in class and the students have to laugh because they don’t want to fail.

5. The Pervert

You remember that teacher that used to make REALLY inappropriate sex jokes all the time? That teacher that would take ANY opportunity to have physical contact with students. Yeah. That teacher was most likely a sick pervert.

6. The Fasionista

This is that female teacher that comes to school everyday dressed like she just left the club. Short tight mini dresses/skirts, insanely high heeled shoes and the kind of insane makeup you usually only see in Lady Gaga music videos.

7. The one that thinks she’s a fashionista but really isn’t.

This is that female teacher that tries too hard to be stylish but ends up looking like a homeless person wearing clothes that haven’t been in vogue since 1995. Even her fellow teachers know that her fashion sense is shit and laugh at her behind her back.

8. The Ashewo

That one teacher (male or female) that keeps trying to hook up with other teachers. If you walk into the staff room, you’ll most likely catch them saying wildly inappropriate stuff. Also, were you really expecting a picture of an actual ashewo? LOL

9. The Snitch

That teacher that will start running to the Principal’s office to report anytime any small thing happens.

10. The Storyteller

This one will keep interrupting the day’s lesson so they can tell the class a story about that time they lived in India or some other boring ass story no one really gives a shit about. The worst thing about this is that half the time, they’re lying.

11. The Ghost

That teacher that will NEVER come to class throughout the term and will somehow be able to pull this off without the Principal finding out. Eventually they’ll show up, 3 days before exams and quietly tell the students the exam questions he/she is going to set and then disappear again.

2. Strong winds will start and one part of you will be like

Hian! Na judgement day be this?

3. It will start raining violently.

Hay God!

4. Problem is, you’re too far from your house to run back so you’ll find one small shade to hide under.

I will just wait it out.

5. But the shade you’re under doesn’t have sides and because of the strong winds, the rain is falling in a zigzag manner. You’re already getting wet.

Jesus!

6. You look around and scout for a better shade but everywhere is full.

You’re screwed.

7. After a full hour of rain drops hitting you like bullets, the rain will stop and you will continue your journey to work.

Looking like you just went swimming with your clothes.

8. There will be no bus.

Nobody knows where all the buses go when it rains.

9. The one bus you will see will triple the normal t-fare because they’re the only ones there.

300 NAIRA FROM IKEJA TO OSHODI??!! WHAT SORT OF WICKEDNESS IS THIS?!!

10. You don’t have a choice so you’ll pay and quietly curse the driver and conductor.

“Doing things like this is why you won’t enter heaven.”

11. As you get down from the bus, someone will pass in a car and splash water on you from a puddle.

What kind of life is this? Is it because I don’t have car?

12. You will get to the office and your asshole boss will ask you why you’re late.

Is this one mad? Did he not see all that rain?

13. You will explain to him but he will tell you that rain is no excuse.

This boss has a company car and driver oh.

14. You will have to sit at your desk in your wet clothes until they dry on your body which will result in cold and catarrh.

God. What did I do to deserve this?

14 Embarrassing Things Guys Do That Girls Will Never Understand

1. 90% of the time when we walk funny, it’s because we’re trying to adjust our testicles.

We have no control over how they position themselves. It’s not our fault.

2. Pretty much every guy has low key wished he can increase the size of his penis.

Yeah. Basically we’ve considered contacting the people that send those annoying spam emails about penis enlargement.

3. We’re not as clean as most girls.

So if you see a guy who’s really clean, compliment him because there is a tiny chance that he’s doing it for you.

4. We have two voices.

Our regular speaking voice and our “Girl I like you” voice. It’s default in our factory settings.

5. We are more sensitive than you think.

Not every time macho. Sometimes we’re delicate wallflowers.

6. The sound of metal scraping on a rough surface causes physical pain that we can actually feel in our testicles.

Scratching the crown cork of a soda bottle on the ground will make any testicles in the vicinity explode.

7. We have all, at some point, fantasized about getting our nails painted.

We’ve even thought about Henna. Don’t judge us. These things look like fun.

8. Some romantic comedies are actually very entertaining but we will NEVER give them the credit they deserve out loud.

Anything with Kevin Hart gets a pass tho. Kevin Hart is awesome.

9. We don’t act like it but deep down, we want our weddings to be lit.

With the lights, cameras, cakes and every thing. Weddings are awesome! Why would we not care about ours??

10. We sit down in public a lot longer than we have to sometimes because….

….getting rid of an impromptu erection takes time.

11. We love the Snapchat flower crown filter more than we’ll ever admit.

Who doesn’t like flowers? Lol

12. We occasionally use selfie sticks.

For those days you want the perfect selfie.  We will still yab any guy that actually admits to having one sha.

13. It scares the hell out of us when we want to talk to a girl we like but she’s in the company of other girls.

Why do girls like to move around in packs sef? Oya, all of you, disperse! I want to set P.

14. We have all, at least once, sang along to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”.

C’mon, who wouldn’t want to get down to that sick beat??

Here are 10 Most Interesting Quotes From President Osinbajo’s #DemocracyDay Speech

$
0
0

Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria!

It is very important for us to remember that no matter how tough things are, we are at least a democratic government that gets to choose its own leaders

Anywhooo. Our president (Buhari) is still missing, but Acting President Osinbajo stepped in and gave what I think is a really kick-ass stand-in speech

I’m a sucker for well-delivered speeches. I mean, that’s mostly why most of us liked Obama. Yes, we cannnn!

Also – because we know many of you may not have the time to watch the above, I have summarized the speech with ten of my top quotes from that speech. Ready?

1. This government’s work in fighting against insurgency/terrorism

The positive results are clear for all to see. In the last two years close to one million displaced persons have returned home. 106 of our daughters from Chibok have regained their freedom, after more than two years in captivity, in addition to the thousands of other captives who have since tasted freedom.

Acting President Osinbajo

2. The plan to clean up the Niger Delta (which has been a sore conversation point in recent years)

President Buhari’s New Vision for the Niger Delta is a comprehensive peace, security and development plan that will ensure that the people benefit fully from the wealth of the region, and we have seen to it that it is the product of deep and extensive consultations, and that it has now moved from idea to execution. Included in that New Vision is the long-overdue environmental clean-up of the Niger Delta beginning with Ogoni-land, which we launched last year.

Acting President Osinbajo

3. The plans for herdsmen clashes

We are working with State governments, and tasking our security agencies with designing effective strategies and interventions that will bring this menace to an end. We are determined to ensure that anyone who uses violence, or carries arms without legal authority is apprehended and sanctioned.

Acting President Osinbajo

4. On public complaints that the fight against corruption is just too damn slow:

Many have said that the process is slow, and that is true, corruption has fought back with tremendous resources and our system of administration of justice has been quite slow. But the good news for justice is that our law does not recognize a time bar for the prosecution of corruption and other crimes, and we will not relent in our efforts to apprehend and bring corruption suspects to justice. We are also re-equipping our prosecution teams, and part of the expected judicial reforms is to dedicate some specific courts to the trial of corruption cases.

Acting President Osinbajo

5. This admission that the Nigerian economy is a huge HAIRY and downright SCARY beast

Admittedly, the economy has proven to be the biggest challenge of all. Let me first express just how concerned we have been, since this administration took office, about the impact of the economic difficulties on our citizens.

Acting President Osinbajo

6. This intro to a ‘plan’ that essentially says ‘we know the economy is screwed, and we’re working on it’

One of the first tasks of the Cabinet and the Economic Management Team was to put together a Strategic Implementation Plan for the 2016 budget, targeting initiatives that would create speedy yet lasting impact on the lives of Nigerians.

Acting President Osinbajo

7. This plan to make it less hellish to do business in Nigeria:

Another highlight of the President’s Budget Speech was our work around the Ease of Doing Business reforms. As promised we have since followed up with implementation and execution. I am pleased to note that we are now seeing verifiable progress across several areas, ranging from new Visa on Arrival scheme, to reforms at our ports and regulatory agencies.

Acting President Osinbajo

8. We are a young nation full of young people, y’all. Down with the gerontocracyyyyy!

Let me note, at this point, that several of our Initiatives are targeted at our young people, who make up most of our population. From N-Power, to the Technology Hubs being developed nationwide, to innovation competitions such as the Aso Villa Demo Day, and our various MSME support schemes, we will do everything to nurture the immense innovative and entrepreneurial potential of our young people. We are a nation of young people, and we will ensure that our policies and programmes reflect this.

Acting President Osinbajo

9. This not-so subtle warning that it is okay to be frustrated with the government, but there’s a line:

And while we all daily pre-occupy ourselves with pursuing the Nigerian Dream – which is the desire to better our lives and circumstances vigorously and honestly – it is inevitable that grievances and frustrations will arise from time to time. This is normal. What is not normal, or acceptable, is employing these frustrations as justification for indulging in discrimination or hate speech or hateful conduct of any kind, or for seeking to undermine by violent or other illegal means the very existence of the sovereign entity that has brought us all together as brothers and sisters and citizens.

Acting President Osinbajo

10. A sneak-peek preview of the government’s focus for the next two years:

The critical points that we must address fully in the next two years are : Agriculture and food security, Energy, (power and Petroleum,) Industrialization and Transport infrastructure. Every step of the way we will be working with the private sector, giving them the necessary incentives and creating an environment to invest and do business.

Acting President Osinbajo

4. The Boyfriends Who Do The Least

5. The Boyfriends Who Do The Most (We love them!)

All The Weird Rituals Nigerian Women Perform Before The Sweet Lovemaking

Here’s a list of a couple things Nigerian women do to get into the groove when it’s sexy time:

1. Have a cool shower.

Gotta keep the surface area clean and smelling fresh. Might as well even trim the edges a little while we’re at it.

2. Remove wig.

No need letting the wig fall off by itself “in the heat of the moment”, or allow one man to come and pull it from your head in the name of making love.  Better to just jejely remove the thing and keep it safe. Brazillian wigs don’t come cheap.

3. Tying a headscarf to protect natural hair.

Especially for the naturalistas, this is very important. Somebody cannot come and have a bad hair day the following day just because of some lil’ lovin’ from the night before.

4. Removing make up

Acne is very real. And in order not to look like you just fought with your neighbour, a girl has gotta remove that layer of foundation and eyeliner before the thing clogs up all her pores. It’ll also help the “morning after” glow to shine very well sha.

5. Brush teeth

A girl has got to keep everywhere clean before doing the deed so that if she sleeps off, her morning breath will not smell like Lagos gutter.

6. Practicing seduction tricks in front of the mirror.

7. Play some music to get in the zone.

It’s SEXY TIME!

8 Reasons Why You Haven’t Really Had Sex Until You’ve Had Married Sex

1. You can be fully in the moment and not get distracted by anything.

With random sex, you will occasionally worry about stuff like “Does this person really like me? Do they think I’m terrible at sex? Will I ever hear from them again?” But then with your spouse, you will never have to worry about any of that.

2. You perfectly understand each other’s bodies.

You don’t have to wonder if the other person likes that thing you’re doing with your tongue and you don’t have to muffle your scream when the other person bites your nipple thinking its sexy. As a married couple, you know what your spouse likes and vice versa which means you can give each other mind blowing orgasms with very little instruction. Which is why…..

3. You can have sex really fast when you need to

Perfectly understanding each other’s bodies means that sex doesn’t always need to take one hour. So when you have a limited time to “get busy” (e.g when your baby is taking a nap or you have to get up really early the next morning) and there isn’t time to waste, you can just get right to it and be done in 5 minutes.

4. Sex can be awkward and still be hilarious

Imagine how awkward it’ll be if you’re having sex with someone you haven’t known long and you mistakenly fart. You’ll pray for the ground to open up and swallow you. You don’t have to worry about this with your spouse. You can fart, try a new position (and fail) or even have a quick snack and it’s all okay. Why? Because you love each other, that’s why.

5. You don’t have to worry about STDs (If you’re a monogamous married couple)

One of the worst parts of having sex outside of marriage is wondering if the other person is really just a walking talking bag of STDs. When you’re in a committed monogamous marriage, you don’t have to have to worry about this. Unless of course one of you is secretly cheating……

6. If you decide to try kink, it’ll work better.

Really naughty kinky sex requires communication, negotiation and trust which most marriages already have tons of. So y’all are less likely to end up in the emergency room than say…… 2 people who just got together for a one night stand and decided to act out the plot of 50 Shades Of Grey.

7. You don’t have to look perfect.

Listen now, this is not something you should do all the time. We’re not saying you should let yourself go just because you’re married. What we mean is that there are times when you both want to engage in coitus (lol) but don’t want to go through the stress of preparation (e.g leg shaving etc) and you can just “get on down” because you both love each other to pieces.

8. Initiating sex is no longer a problem

Because you’re both married. Instead of dropping hints and innuendos, initiating sex will become as easy as this,

 

Wife: “Hey. This show is ending in 10 minutes. Wanna have sex then?”

 

Husband: “Ok”.
