Now That Big Brother Naija Is Over Can We Kiss And Make Up

-
The past three months have been all kinds of eventful — from intriguing, to annoying and of course noisy.
The Big Brother Naija reality show came with ‘Double Wahala’ for the third edition of the show and it got a lot of Nigerian youths stuck up in the euphoria that it brought.
Daily across social media platforms, one would keep stumbling upon discussions on the housemates — CeeC, Tobi, Miracle, Nina, Teddy A, BamBam and the rest of them.
Apparently, we all have our getaways for fun and the political atmosphere inherent in the country at the moment has not made it any easier for youths to do something more meaningful with their lives other than join the discussions whether passively or actively.
A bunch of us endlessly hoped for the grand finale of the show so we would breathe and have more meaningful discussions on our social media timelines.
Not like the Big Brother Naija issues weren’t meaningful though, but some people’s idea of fun is definitely far from it.
Oh well! The show has finally been done and dusted and now we are left with what has always faced us — the state of the country.
If you live in Nigeria and are not bothered about the recent ongoings, then you deserve a space in the Mars.
The current condition of our country is worrisome and deserves some real concerns from anyone who can help us get away from the mess.
From a mace being stolen while ‘able-bodied’ lawmakers watched on in utter confusion, to a senator donating his waist belt to be used as a replacement for the stolen mace so the plenary would continue. What have we not heard? Is it the cock and bull story on how a snake swallowed N36Million from JAMB office or the monkey narrative?
The minute we feel we have finally heard it all, one drama that will leave you mouth-agape will unfold.
The main thing that bothers me is not even the narratives but the battered image these things leave us with among other nations of the world.
Amidst the whole shenanigans, President Muhammadu Buhari distracted Nigerians a little with his insinuation that a lot of Nigerian youths are lazy because they wouldn’t want to do any work and prefer to sit at home and wait for free oil money.
As expected, he faced huge fire from a whole lot of Nigerians who were kicking and doling out their CVs to tell the president how hardworking they are and all that, but it is not enough, trust me!
Whether hardworking or not, the truth remains that social media rants are not and will NEVER be enough, getting a PVC is not even enough.
The real deal is to think of how one can contribute meaningfully to the country and take up the role selflessly.
I sometimes nurse the fear that Nigeria will never get any better and then some days, I choose to give a benefit of doubt with the gleam of a silver tray.
Apparently, a lot of politicians are out with different campaign strategies and political gimmicks all geared towards getting the support of the masses at the general elections.
But the big question remains — are we really planning to vote for sentimental affiliations or for the love of your country?
Now that Big Brother Naija Reality show is over, can we kiss and make up with our roles as citizens?
Can we begin to engage in more meaningful discussions that will move the nation forward and restore her lost glory?
Can we make efforts to make Nigeria same old enviable country in West Africa?
Can we do our bids to make Nigeria rise again?
Yes! It is possible with you and me.
First things first, go get your PVC and let us get started with the rest with the hope of setting history so high.

  We shall remind you at 61 how you turned a green and white flag into red and green with the blood of unarmed citizens. You blood sucking lots masked up in the name of leaders. We shall remind you monsters how you murdered the supposedly leaders of tomorrow. Simply because they were asking to be heard. Simply because they asked for a good country. We aren't even talking about 'better' because it has to be good before it becomes better. You killed innocent citizens simply because they demanded responsibility from a very irresponsible government. At this point, I honestly do not care. Nigeria needs help and the sooner we get it, the better. It's about time this country got shut down if these power-drunk octogenarians and septuagenarians won't let us thrive! My late grandmother's age mates are at the helms of affairs, leading people who are more enlightened than them in every damn area. I can't seem to stop the tears. A country whose president has kept mute am

Video Of Couple Making Blood Covenant To Avoid Infidelity Goes Viral Across Social Media [WATCH]

A Cameroonian couple broke the internet today with a video of them making a blood covenant to seal up their love and possibly prevent either of them from cheating. The couple took to Facebook to share the video of themselves sucking at their own blood at the same time. From the video, the duo apparently cut themselves and the woman appeared to be in pains as the blood flowed freely. Perhaps, the couple did not trust themselves enough to have a relationship without either party cheating on them. Blood covenant is an archaic practice which dates back to the 60's when our forefathers practised it. The action by the couple sparked confusion because not only is the practice outdated, it is also barbaric. What do you think must have prompted these couple into such act? Watch the video below:
