The Curious Mind

The Big Brother Naija show brought a twist to the show during the last party held on Saturday.  Ozo and other evicted house mates where also invited.  At the party, Ozo ignored Nengi and went ahead to dance with other evicted house mates.  This development made Nengi cry bitterly and was only left with Laycon and the other remaining house mates to console her. It's based on this development that AY the Comedian decided to intervene.  In his words:  Dear Ozo & Nengi, Feel free to find ur strength in the experience of love or pain.Your feelings are part of you.What matters is how you go about it.If u feel ashamed of them,and hide them,You’re letting society destroy your reality.You should stand up for ur rights to do what makes you happy. Many people had their say.

A new COVID-19 mutation appears to be even more contagious, according to a study. Experts say it could be a response by the virus to defeat masks and other social-distancing efforts. Scientists in a paper published Wednesday identified a new strain of the virus, which accounted for 99.9 percent of cases during the second wave in the Houston, Texas, area, the Washington Post reported. The paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, said people with the strain, known as the D614G mutation, had higher loads of virus suggesting it is more contagious. Though the strain isn’t more deadly, researchers said it appeared to have adapted better to spread among humans. David Morens, a virologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the findings suggest that the virus may become more contagious and that this “may have implications for our ability to control it.” He said it’s possible that the virus had evolved to resist efforts such as hand-washing and social distancing.

  Joshua and Adesanya Two Nigerian Champions, Isreal Adesanya and Anthony Joshua were recently caught up in a hot source challenges in which the rule states that if you lie, you take a bite of the chicken dipped in a hot source spice. Both Champions were not forthcoming in taking a bite. They tried as much as they can to ensure that they told the truth, but were always cut and made to pay. Joshua was asked about the possibilities of YouTubers becoming professional boxers for one fight and getting a big pay day. He was straight on it: "The thing that annoys me the most is there is so much talent from the grassroots level who are trying to get their name recognised by the bigger audience and they’re struggling so it’s kind of a world of who is popular and who can just do it versus who is talented and who is trying to get their name recognised but isn’t get a look in,' he said." On Adesanya's part, he couldn't get round the question smartly, he failed to name the med

Few minutes before he was evicted from the Big Brother Naija's house, Ebuka asked Kiddwaya to explain What he feels about Nengi. Kiddwaya replied and said "We are close, we are like friends.

A pathetic event occured recently in a certain part of the country which vividly depicts the situation in a country that is cooking up it's end. It might sound unbelievable but that is a quintessence of what is on ground in our great country. Youths getting frustrated, crime being glorified, hardwork being virified and lawlessness becoming a thing of pride. Graduates being asked to think outside the box, to be job creators and not job seekers in an unhealthy economy,harsh economic environment and no enabling environment for sole proprietorship to thrive.

Luis Suarez has reportedly phoned Giorgio Chiellini in a bid to clear the air as the Barcelona striker edges closer to a move to Juventus. The Uruguay international infamously bit the defender on the shoulder during his side's World Cup group-stage game against Italy in Brazil in the year 2014.  Suarez was not sent off that day as the referee did not see it but was later banned from all  football related activities for four months for that savage attack. Now, the Striker has spoken to Chiellini, who is Juventus captain, as he aims to put the incident behind and move on as potential team-mates, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.  Suarez is set to sign a contract worth £9m per year after tax, the same wage he earns at Barcelona, according to reports. Despite the disgraceful nature of Suarez's bite, Chiellini has since shrugged off the incident. He said: 'Suddenly I noticed he had bit my shoulder. "It just happened, but this is his contact strategy in hand-to-hand comb

 The battle is getting hotter each day as the days go by. Many housemates have been evicted and more are yet to be evicted. The voting is getting tougher by the day and housemates have been doing everything possible to impress their fans and earn their votes at the end of the day.  There is one thing that I have come to understand about fans; if they really love you, they would campaign for you when you don't even know they are doing it. Some could go a long way spending their own money to make sure that you scale through.  Dele Momodu had offered to reward anyone who can vote for his own chosen housemate, Kiddwaya. According to his tweet, he asked his followers to vote for his son, and stand the chance of winning N50k. This means if you vote and show proof, you may be selected to be rewarded.   Judging from the replies, it seems like many are already into Laycon and wouldn't want to compromise their support for him or would they do otherwise through the back door so as to part

Former President of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, was once considered the poorest and most humble leader in the world. But he doesn't consider himself poor, he feels different. Mujica took office in March 2010 but never moved into the Presidential Palace in Uruguay’s capital of Montevideo. Instead, he lived on his wife’s farm surrounded by the family dogs. All through his stay in office as president of Uruguay, Mujica received a monthly salary of roughly $12,000. From this, he lived on $800 only, which is roughly equivalent to an average Uruguayan’s income. The rest of the money, he gave away to local charities. Although Mujca is no longer president, he created a legacy not only in his country, but also in the world at large–a legacy that suggests that presidents are not kings, but lowly civil servants, and as such, they should behave. Here are 10 of my favorite quotes of this great man that reveal his simplistic nature. After reading these words, you'll realise that this man is such a

To many, death marks the end of existence. But to others, it is just the start of a more superior existence, one greater than the one left behind.  Chadwick Bosman For United States of America actor Chadwick Boseman, best known for playing Black Panther in the hit Marvel superhero franchise, that could be the case as he joins his ancestors after a long battle with cancer.

  As we honour Michael Jackson, the King of Pop on his birthday today (August 29), let's take a look at some of the reasons why Michael Jackson earned that title and how other artists, namely Beyoncé, have tried to leave behind a similar legacy. Michael Jackson and Beyonce While there is no doubt that Beyoncé has earned the honorific title of Queen of R&B by critics (and the genres are different), has her music shared the same fame and success trajectory as Michael Jackson? We think this question deserves attention.  Michael Jackson Diving right into one of the most discernible differences between the two artists, Michael Jackson's awards and honors are certainly a crucial point to consider. According to the book by Sylvia Lovina Chidi, 'The Greatest Black Achievers in History', Jackson has been cited as the most awarded and nominated recording artist in music history. Michael Jackson's career saw him nominated 38 times for the Grammies, earning 13 Grammy Awards
