Instagram worthy restaurants in Lagos Nigeria

Image
Not too long ago, a fancy restaurant wasn’t such a big deal in Lagos compared to other major cities. Then Instagram came and the millennials went wild. Lagos restaurants started outdoing each other by building 'woke' Instagram places for the crowd . Because we love to discover and scope out the best places in Lagos , we bring five restaurants you should totally visit with your cameras! 1. Nok by Alara Nok is such a darling of the dining scene and every Instagram dream. Part hippy and part African ambience, the restaurant serves African staple dishes in a contemporary setting. Nestled within a lush, bamboo-framed garden, NOK is an intimate dining space while also displaying contemporary Art and Design from all over the continent. You could mistake Nok for a New York restaurant with its light chatter, background music and soft lighting. This place really does go above and beyond. And if the food isn’t beautiful enough, you guys have to see th

Japanese astronaut apologizes for 'fake news' of height increase

Image
 Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai, on a mission to the International Space Station, apologized on Wednesday for saying he had grown 9 cm (3.5 inches) while in space and expressing concern about whether he’d be safe on his return to Earth.  Most astronauts “grow” during protracted space missions because their spines extend in the absence of gravity, but the gains are usually limited to a couple of centimeters (inches) maximum and disappear once they are back on the ground. The 41-year-old Kanai, who went to space last month for a nearly six-month mission, posted on Twitter on Monday that he had “a big announcement.” “My height’s been measured here in space and somehow, somehow, I’ve grown 9 cm! In only three weeks I’ve really shot up, something I haven’t seen since high school,” he tweeted. “This makes me a little worried that I might not be able to fit in the Soyuz seats for our return.” But a bit over a day later - and in the wake of a flurry of

Why do some people want this Nigerian movie star's marriage to fail?

Why are people interested in seeing Mercy Johnson's marriage fail?   This story didn't just pop up from anywhere as there were related developments which led to the idea of a possible crack in Mercy Johnson's marriage.  When the news that Mercy Johnson had deleted all the pictures of her husband, Prince Odi Okojie from her Instagram page broke, all hell was let loose even though she has come out to defend it. Now a lot of people would say this is a sign that these guys are having issues and that the marriage would soon crash or might have crashed already. A major way to justify these guys who think the marriage might be having cracks is the that a number of celebrity marriages have crashed immediately they start deleting photos from their social media pages.  A typical example of a celebrity whose marriage crashed after they stop following each other and removed each other's photos on their Instagram page is Damilola Adegbite.   The

How These Stars Reset Button After Breakup

For celebrities,there's the human reaction that sends them scurrying to the company of their best friends, albeit in million-dollar cottages by the sea, and maybe even firing off the occasional sub tweet or two. But there's life waiting beyond yonder horizon, and sometimes the demands of work mean there's little time to wallow. Which means that so much of the getting-over-it process happens in public. And if there are young children involved, then even getting a moment alone to accommodate the sudden, sporadic bursting of the tears that may happen for the first few months is a tall order. But the common goal, when all is said and done—when the hair's been dyed, or the cooking class taken, or the shots knocked back or the divorce papers filed—is not so much to make a major change as it is to simply feel like one's self again. That takes time, so the secret is really just to push th

Controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze, has again questioned the concept of tithing as preached in most churches. Freeze, on Tuesday, gave a poser to the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo. He asked: “are we Melchizedekians or Christians?” Ashimolowo had tweeted: “Jesus is our High Priest after the ORDER of Melchizedek. If Abraham brought tithes to Melchizedek the High Priest, we, the seed of Abraham must also bring our tithes to Jesus, our High Priest.#ThePowerOfTheTithe.”‎ Freeze replied and asked: “So how come Jesus never collected tithe & how come no one ever ‘brought’ tithe to him or disciples? Are we Melchizedekians or Christians?” Reca
