Was Davido’s Tweet to Cynthia Morgan’s Video the Perfect Response?

Cynthia-Morgan-Davido
While it seems a lot of celebrities are starting 2016 on a confrontational note, Davido might have just given us hope for peaceful reconciliations via his response to Cynthia Morgan.
It all started when Cynthia Morgan posted a series on short clips on Snapchat addressing Davido and more or less calling him a “F*boy”. In her video she imitated Davido’s husky voice and said a couple of insulting things.
A follower was able to record it with his phone and shared on YouTube. See below.

Nigerian Wellington Jighere Won the Worldwide Scrabble Championship & We’re Stoked with Excitement

12191474_1054502184581740_639966678475092112_n
I love Board games – Cluedo, Monopoly, Scrabble, Sorry, Ludo, Snakes & Ladders. Anything to play when NEPA strikes and we’re all just waiting for 8pm when the generator comes on. I never quite got into Chess… I wanted to, but by the time I was old enough to play there was nobody to teach me. But Scrabble, is one of my favourite board games. With a very good vocabulary, an ability to strategize, a dash of good luck and a LOT of practice, you can become a champion at the game.
So imagine my excitement when I found out that a Nigerian won the 2015 World Scrabble Championship in Perth, Australia. According to the report in The Guardian, Wellington Jigherebeat 129 competitors to win the World English-language Scrabble Players’ Association championship on Sunday, defeating Englishman Lewis MacKay with four straight wins in the best-of-seven final round.
How awesome is that???? He is the first African to win this championship!
So what do we know about Wellington? In 2007, he won the 3rd World’s best at the games and in 2008 he

Commonwealth appoints GEJ to mediate in Zanzibar election stalemate

Following his highly acclaimed leadership of the Commonwealth Observer Group in last month’s Tanzania general elections, the 53-nation body of former British colonies has given former President Goodluck Jonathan a fresh mandate to lead the charge for the resolution of the political stalemate in the semi-independent island of Zanzibar.

 
After the October 25 general elections which produced John Magufuli as the new President of Tanzania, the Jonathan-led COG and other international observers had endorsed the polling processes as credible.
However, tension rules on the island of Zanzibar, following the nullification of the presidential election results by the local electoral body, over claims of irregularities. International observers have continued to dispute this decision, on the
