Shakara Ologe Ni - A Funny Short Story

By Tofarati,

As Sharon walked into the lobby of the lecture theatre, arrogance oozed out of every pore of her being as if she had dipped herself in a pool of it before coming to school.

Glo X-Factor Auditions - King/Queen Democracy And Others

Nigeria has it's own X-Factor and while I think though that the judges still have to get their flow right, the auditions are just as hilarious as any I've seen, the good, the bad, and the fugly.
