[Photo + Video] Can Witches Fly Like Birds Then Fall And Become Human?

Posted in: , , , ,

I'm sorry to bring you this graphic image but I think we need to talk about this. A Twitter user @spicybebe shared the photo above on Twitter, and according to her and certain other Nigerian Twitter users, she is a bird which fell from a power line in the Oshodi part of Lagos and turned into a woman by the time she landed on the ground. Confusing, right? Is it even possible?

A mob immediately gathered calling her a witch and it took the intervention of police men or the poor woman would've been lynched. Hmmm...

Posted in: , , , ,

Kim Kardashian took to Twitter earlier today to share her thoughts on users who use their Instagram to post messages and not photos.

Friends Who Show Off Their Boos On Social Media May Be Insecure In The Relationship

Posted in: , ,

We've all done it, or at least most of us with social media presence have done it. I mean gush about your boo or show off how great and fantastic your relationship is. Now, a recent study is trying to tell us that we may just be showing our insecurity.

The results of the study was published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and says that social media users who constantly feel the need to make Facebook friends aware of their romantic dealings felt less secure in their relationships.

Daily Show Called Zayn Malik A Terrorist? One Direction Fans Say #TheDailyShowGoneTooFar

Posted in: , , ,

One Direction fans are not happy about a Daily Show joke, and are tweeting about it with the hashtag “#TheDailyShowGoneTooFar”. The Daily Show had listed a member of One Direction as being a terrorist.

A correspondent, Jessica Williams, said during a comedy sketch about the US air strikes on ISIS, that a new super-group of terrorists had just formed and was made up one member each from al-Qaeda, Hamas, ISIS, the Zetas drug cartel, and One Direction.

The show didn’t mention Zayn Malik, but fans of One Direction think he must be the one they're referring to since he's the only Muslim in the boy band group.

When The Ice Bucket Challenge Goes Wrong - #IceBucketChallenge

Posted in: , , ,

First, we saw Bill Gates develop a pulley system to do the challenge after he was tagged by Mark Zuckerberg who did it the old fashioned way. Then there was Oprah and other African American celebrities. On a sad note, we read of the man who died of a heart attack after doing the challenge.

But this is the funniest post about the #ALS #IceBucketChallenge, believe me.

From people falling down because their buckets are too heavy, to the buckets falling down and bashing them over the head, there's that and more cases of the Ice Bucket Challenge going wrong.

Enjoy and get some laughs :)

Anna Wintour just accepted her daughter @beeshaffer's #als #icebucketchallenge, and the style and fashion community are going bonkers. Anna Wintour's daughter Bee Shaffer challenged her on Tuesday, and with the 24 hr deadline, the Vogue editor just did hers.

Her young family members are the ones to pour the ice-water over Anna Wintour, and she challenges Roger Federer and Dominic West. Some have said she called out all the young ladies on the current Vogue cover, but that's not true.

Watch the Instagram clip below, and see the full video on Vogue's Facebook page. The children of course then get into water fights, LOL...

Australian Man Mocks Nigerians About Ebola With Tweets Of Fake $10,000 Scam

Posted in: , , ,

An Australian man named Andrew Sayer has gone on Twitter to mock Nigerians about Ebola in the country, with a fabricated story about giving $10,000 to his Nigerian friend Oghenekohwo whom he says he is now looking for.

Andrew Sayer says Oghenekohwo is yet to reply his e-mails, adding that since his friend has gone off the radar, he fears that this friend of his, whom he says lives in Port Harcourt, may have contracted the deadly Ebola virus.

Andrew then scam baits wannabe 419ers by saying he plans to send more money to this friend whenever he responds. Read the tweets below, and share your thoughts...

What I find galling and also sad is that Nigerians on social media did not immediately see through this spoof. The conversation on blogs and Twitter seem to tilt to believing this foolish story and consoling Andrew Sayer for having been duped of his hard earned money by a Nigerian scammer.

Transformation Tuesday started as a way to make fun of makeup tutorials where the makeup artist usually looks completely different

Transformation Tuesday started as a way to make fun of makeup tutorials where the makeup artist usually looks completely different by the time they finish putting on their makeup.

Extreme makeup uses a lot of highlighting, contouring, fake lashes and the works to transform ordinary looking women into stunners who rival the most beautiful celebs.

Now, both men and women have taken those makeup tutorials as a social media meme, where in four steps, they are transformed into the celeb of their choice.

Seems President Jonathan Is Reading A Very Boring Book #ReadersAreLeaders

Posted in: , , ,

President Goodluck Jonathan was photographed reading a book today by his assistant on publicity, Reuben Abati, who captioned the photots, #PresidentialReadingTime: President Jonathan perusing "Topics in West African History" by Adu Boahen #Random #ReadersareLeaders.

It's certainly good to read, but the book President Goodluck was reading must have been boring because he had fallen asleep by the final pictures. Or simply not into the book? I suggest someone gives him a copy of A Love Rekindled :)

But who decided to share these pictures? See them below...

French Montana Shares Picture of Khloe Kardashians Bum on Social Media

Posted in: , ,

Chris Brown made headlines a couple of times last week when he shared photos of his girlfriend Karrueche Tran's backside on Instagram But I think they were trying to make a point about cellulite. Or maybe it was to show how her butt has grown over the years.

Today, Khloe Kardashian's new boyfriend, French Montana, also showed off her behind, not naked though on his social media. Khloe's famous butt is covered in dark brown bum shorts and it looks like she's lying in bed when he took the picture.

French had only one word to explain the photo #asssscap. Does that mean butt pads?
