  A popular Facebook page known as Music Head has sparked conversation online after sharing an intriguing post about Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The post, framed as a "fun fact," aimed to remind fans, particularly smokers who idolize Fela for his well-known cannabis use that he was far more than just a cultural rebel or a smoker.

According to the post, Fela's father was the uncle of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, a connection that ties him directly to one of Nigeria's most revered li...

Following Nigeria’s recent victory over Zambia in a thrilling women’s international football encounter, social media has been flooded with a wave of celebratory memes and banter, especially from jubilant Nigerian fans.

Prior to the match, Zambian fans had taken to social media with confidence, projecting bold predictions and engaging in playful trolling.
