The passing of Kobe Bryant at 41 has deeply saddened millions of people from all over the world, basketball fans and non basketball fans alike. Even more tragic is the death of his 13 daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, a rising Basketball star who played for Mamba Academy and had plans to play in the WNBA.



Known as Mambacita, a play on words of her famous father’s name “Black Mamba, Gigi was a star basketball player coached by her superstar father. Just a month before this tragic helicopter crash which killed the father and daughter along with 7 others, Kobe had filed paperwork to trademark the name Mambacita. The plan was to brand the name on merchandise like sweaters, jerseys, pants and hoodies.


As a rising sports star, with the backing of an NBA legend, the Mambacita line would have easily been a success, and set the young Gigi on her way to being a millionaire possibly even before her 15th birthday. It


While socialites like the Kardashians and Jenners have made a profitable career from posting nude pictures, and questionable relationships, it would have been refreshing to see a young, black girl build a career as a superb athlete and a business mogul.


It is devastating that such a bright light was cut short in such tragic circumstances, depriving the world of the greatness and impact she would have undoubtedly made.
Having her father and Grandfather there to guide her on her journey would have made a beautiful story to inspire millions of young people around the world.

May her soul rest in peace, along with everyone who lost their lives on that sad day.

With a style of music that incorporates Dancehall, Afrobeats and Rap, Burna Boy dubbed The African Giant has taken not just Nigeria and Africa, but the world by storm. Born in Port Harcourt, his family showed a huge appreciation for good music, with his grandfather Benson Idonije, a well respected journalist who managed the career of the legendary Nigerian singer Fela Anikulapo Kuti. 

In 2002, his breakout track “Like To Party” became a nationwide hit and a party anthem played in clubs all over the country. Ever since then, Burna Boy has been on a steady rise although not without some controversy. Starting out with Aristokrat Records and an album produced by the very talented Leriq, Burna Boy stayed true to his style and didn’t try to move into the more commercially acceptable sounds other Nigerian artistes were part of.

You’re having a lazy day at home. Your significant other and your kids are running riot all over the house. You’ve all just had a huge lunch and the dishes are stacked in the kitchen sink, almost to the ceiling. You’re falling asleep on the couch, one leg flung carelessly on the sofa. Life seems perfect. Your iPhone rings and you grab it from your young son, who has turned it into his personal game console. 

You pick up the phone and hear your dear friend’s voice and realise you both haven’t spoken in a few weeks. You start to exchange pleasantries and then your friend drops the bombshell. They are with their family, heading back from a visit with their parents and they want to stop by at your home to say a quick hello. They are moving to Canada and want to say goodbye as they may not have the time to visit before they travel for good next week. They are just a few minutes from your house. 




It is no secret that the economy isn’t smiling favourably on most Nigerians. Apart from a few very privileged individuals, most people are feeling the pinch even if just a little bit. Irrespective of the situation, you and your family can still have a fabulous Birthday or Christmas Day lunch or dinner. 


Since the most consumed Nigerian food is rice, how about you give the sweet grain a miss this Christmas and try something else? This 3 course meal will feed a family of 5 comfortably, for just under N3,000.

It is very likely that you feel that flash of irritation when your phone vibrates and it's a debit alert from your bank. Nigerian banks seem to have a modus operandi of trying to take as much money as they can from your savings, without offering much in return. Unlike their foreign counterparts, who would entice you with cash rewards to open an account, offer free services like car and gadget insurance to make sure you benefit from being their customer. 


Each time you carry out a transaction, either by card, POS or online there is a charge. Sometimes you don't even need to do anything to pay a charge, you just need to be a customer. Card maintenance fee, COT, ATM withdrawal charge, transfer fee, account maintenance, SMS fee - the list is endless.

Is it possible that it is no coincidence that 3 of the world’s biggest fighting champions are Nigerian? 

Two months ago, current UFC Middleweight champion, 30 year old Israel Adesanya cruised to victory against Robert Whittaker in a stunning win. A highlight of the glorious moment was Israel dropping to the floor to greet his parents in the traditional Yoruba way. 

30 year old Anthony Joshua fought hard and destroyed ”the destroyer” Andy Ruiz Jr to reclaim the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, AJ came back from one of the biggest upsets in the history of boxing.

It’s no longer news that the most popular female rapper in the world Cardi B is in Lagos for a music festival. Thanks to her very active and intriguing instagram page, her over 59 million followers from all over the world have gotten a glimpse into Nigerian living that even some Nigerians are completely unaware of. 

Before Cardi B’s arrival, she had spoken about how she couldn’t wait to try out the world famous Nigerian Jollof rice. Over the years, Jollof rice has evolved from a luxury meal reserved for Sunday’s and special occasions to becoming a staple in most homes.
