In other cases, these conversations are spearheaded by people who know exactly what they are talking about (think women discussing misogyny or queer folks talking about homophobia) and as it often happens, those conversations get hijacked by people who are ill-equipped to talk about them and end up turning the discourse into a bigotry party. But hey, it鈥檚 the internet and nobody bought data for anyone, so Nigerians do tend to talk and engage in conversations, just because.

The result of this is that we have a lot of cringe-worthy, outrightly weird, and ridiculous conversations happening for sometimes a day or weeks on end. And because we do tend to have a lot of them on a loop, I decided to ask Nigerians to share some of the weirdest and most ridiculous conversations they have ever witnessed online, so please, find their responses below.

This was the Ghetto:

A lot of people actually agree

Then there is the top contender and a really weird time I pray and hope we never return to.

I just can鈥檛

When did this happen though?

Yeah, this was a pretty weird, but actually instructive moment

Uhmmmm

This was very disturbing

I completely understand this one because who has that time?

Less of this one please,

So there you have it, this is to hoping we fix up going forward.

Genevieve Nnaji and Emeka Ike

I know Tony Umez is everyone鈥檚 favourite Nollywood lover boy but for me, the distinction goes straight to Emeka Ike because he often played the poor boy always willing to love with all his heart and give what he didn鈥檛 have. And the best part? He did it all without being jazzed even a bit. The movies he and Genevieve Nnaji played love interests were, in my books, some of the best Nollywood romantic dramas and if we ever get a thriving rom-com movie industry in Nigeria, I would still love to see them in something.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Tony Umez

When I think of this couple, I just imagine Omotola in one of those flowing bubbas while Tony goes off to work angrily even though his wife and life is perfect. The couple always started out every movie stressing the daylights out of me but the good thing about them and the reason they made it to this list, is that the love they display in the final act of the movie tends to always more than makeup for it.

Rita Dominic and Jim Iyke

Something about this couple just seemed violent. A lot of Rita Dominic鈥檚 early roles required guns, short axes and a lot of violence and so did Jim Iyke, the OG bad boy, so when you brought the duo together, it was like Nollywood Bonnie and Clyde but they somehow made that work. I don鈥檛 know how they did but I stan.

RMD and Stella Damascus

Before we say anything, can we talk about the beauty overload of this couple? Like wow. This is out of this world. Of all the Nollywood couples on this list, this is the one I have always wanted to adopt me. The beauty, the grace, the confidence, the elegance. And that鈥檚 just RMD.

Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah

When I think of Genevieve and Ramsey Nouah all I think about is a montage that shows them eating ice-cream in a park or restaurant while Marc Anthony鈥檚 I Need You plays in the background. These two are the OG couple who inspired every other couple and it is time they get their flowers.

But if we had to rank these breads in order of taste and popularity, which one is likely to rank first?

We’ll tell you.

6. Coconut bread

The first time I tasted this, it wasn’t what I was expecting. Sure, it tastes good, but there’s just something about it that made me know there’d be no repeat purchase for me, unless my craving called for it. Also, the coconut kept flaking and just made a mess everywhere. Abeg dear. I cannot be sweeping floor because I ate bread.

5. Sardine bread

I honestly feel like this bread promises a lot but delivers very little. Because how can such a large loaf have just a tiny sardine in it? Why not just buy bread and sardine separately so you can enjoy it properly? That’s how I see it sha.

4. Wheat bread

Wheat bread will always be that bread I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, it’s very nutritious and works well for dietary needs. On the other hand, the taste is quite a roadblock. But if you get used to it, you’re in for the good life. Take it from me.

3. Bread rolls

This for me is perfection. It is exquisite in taste and very appealing. It’s the kind you eat many rolls in one sitting without paying too much attention. A test of self-control.

2. Banana bread

This is one good thing that came out of the lockdown. Yes, it has been in existence for a while, but the lockdown just ‘amplified’ it. In taste, it ranks high for me. It’s deeply satisfying to eat, and it bangs hard with yoghurt or very creamy tea.

1. White bread

There’s a space reserved for kings and this bread will always be found there. Do you think it’s possible for one bread to have so much fan love and relevance? White bread will always be THAT bread. No other bread comes close.

1. Be honest, do you think Jollof Rice tastes better than Fried Rice?

2. Do you actually hate Bounty or are you just trying to act cool?

3. Don’t you think Pounded Yam is overrated?

4. Do you actually hate Amala or you just want to feel among?

5. Does chocolate cake deserve the hype you’re giving it?

6. If avocados were the last thing on earth, would you still claim to hate them?

7. Deep down, deep down, do you hate Semo?

8. Does anyone actually enjoy mint ice cream or y’all are just pretending for the internet?

9. Do you eat because you enjoy eating or because it’s an obligation you need to fulfil?

Here’s last week’s Ranking:

We Ranked Your Favourite Childhood Biscuits From Worst To Best

Because those biscuits are your favourite, you might be biased in your ranking. That’s why we took it upon ourselves to do the ranking for you.

Enjoy!

9. Pako biscuit

I still don鈥檛 get the point of this biscuit, tbh. Who on earth decided that as children, the next snack to munch on is one that tastes like wood. If you were one of those who enjoyed this biscuit as a child, you’re probably a cultist now. Confess before we fish you out.

8. Fishly

This is mid, if we are being honest. It didn’t have anything ‘fishly’ in it. To me, it is a softer, tastier version of Pako biscuits. It’s a wonder how people loved it. The Spicy Fish Cake beats this hands-down, but I couldn’t find a photo online, so…

7. Digestive

The Digestive before Digestives LMAO. This is the biscuit to eat if you’re broke and hungry or you’re trying to save lunch money. Just buy two and drink a whole cup of water and your stomach will be as tight as a drum.

6. Coconut

The selling point of this biscuit was the coconut flavour. It was so markedly different from the others with that taste. But then, it’s an afterthought for most kids. A lot of us didn’t go out with the intention of getting it. We only bought it if the others were not available.

5. Biscao

I LOVE THIS BISCUIT A LOT! I often think I’m the only one who does, because I don’t usually see people as hyped about it as I am. But in terms of taste, Biscao wins. Flavour and size, Biscao wins. OK Foods was in their bag when they made this biscuit. It’s a solid 5 for me.

4. Speedy

Speedy would have been below, but this biscuit fought the good fight and satisfied a LOT of Nigerian children, even adults. In terms of look, it’s not 100%, but one taste and you’ll be willing to overlook every other thing.

PS: As an adult, it bangs with garri. Just empty it into your bowl of garri, add the remaining accessories, and enjoy a delightful taste.

3. Pepper Snack

I am sure a Yoruba man was the one who pitched the idea of this pepper-flavoured biscuit. If we calculate it, the higher percentage of people who love this biscuit will be Yoruba.

I’m not even joking. I mean, it’s number 3 on this list. That’s to show you how Yoruba I am.

2. Okin

This was the OG, the original of all originals. They dominated the market in a way that surprised everyone, but then they had a unique taste to match it. It deserves no other spot than this.

Also, can they pleaseeee bring it back?

1. Coaster

Coaster is really deserving of the number 1 spot. Yes, the biscuit has undergone severe changes in taste and quantity: First, it was 6 in the pack, and then it became 5, and then 4. I think it’s now 3, or maybe they’re getting there. Even then, we cannot deny that Coaster still reigns supreme. We stan.

For today’s rankings, you can disregard the positions.

1. Watermelon

Watermelon is rich in an amino acid called citrulline. This relaxes and dilates blood vessels that help increase sex drive. Y’all know what that means? 鈥�

2. Coconut Water

Raise your hand if you believe drinking coconut water will make you a blockhead. Apparently, our good sis here contains nutrients that are beneficial to getting a climax. I guess that’s why they changed her PR before we discovered her potential.

3. Banana

This one isn’t shaped like a penis for nothing. We stan a fruit that lives a life aligned with its purpose. Eat it if you want to increase your energy level, boost semen and aid erection. It’s really a holy trinity of pleasure.

4. Dark Chocolate

LMAO don’t you ever wonder why dark chocolate is included as part of a Valentine’s day package? This hunk right here stimulates the body’s production of serotonin and Dopamine, and when these two things are in, then you know the gbedu is about to enter body.

5. Red Wine

Here鈥檚 the thing about Red Wine: it boosts testosterone. That’s not all. Red Wine also makes you horny. Why else do you think some women say the wine went straight down to their pum-pum? Ah, we see y’all. Keep doing the good work.

6. Dates

Dates have been used as aphrodisiac and is known to improve sexual stamina, libido and your performance. Quick tip: You can soak dates in milk overnight and drink it the next morning. Or maybe include it in your smoothie. Ouuuuuuu

7. Tigernut Milk

This one is key for sexual arousal. It also helps you last longer in bed. And the sellers know it too. This one is between me and you: combine date, banana and tigernut together, and drink it. See if you will not come back and share your story on .

We Ranked Cola Drinks From Worst To Best

3. Brown (Ogi baba)

This is highly nutritious, especially for babies. But for me, it doesn’t exactly fall within my range of preference. I wonder if there are actual adults who enjoy this variant.

2. White

I don’t know if it’s just me, but there’s something about white ogi that reminds me of a strict and wicked teacher. No attempt to disguise, just plain “what you see is what you get.” I like it all the same sha, at least for the fact that you can add other orisirisi to make it taste even better.

1. Yellow

This variant made me love pap. If there was no yellow pap, I wonder what would have become of my relationship with pap. I like how the look changes when you add milk, either powder or evaporated one. Yellow ogi is really top-tier.

Last week’s ranking:

Ranked: What鈥檚 The Best Fish Ever?

9. Panla

I’m not exactly sure what to make of Panla fish. Yes, it is affordable, but the enjoyment is limited. The fish is lean, and it doesn’t offer much, be it smoked or fried. I feel it should be a waka-pass fish, added as an extra garnishing, not the main thing. Sorry to those who swear by Panla.

8. Tilapia

Tilapia is the kind of fish you brag about because of the name. But in terms of taste, girl bye. It’s bony, and needs the cook to be very skilled. And it only bangs in some kinds of soup, not all. Best as an aquarium fish. Let it just be entertaining your visitors.

7. Hake (Panla, but with Master’s)

This is another variant of Panla fish. And compared to the skinnier Panla, this one tastes far better. It also works wonders in soup for swallows. For vegetables and other kinds of soup, not sure. Perhaps stew it separately, rather than cooking it together.

6. Catfish

In terms of popularity, Miss Mamas here will win. But taste and versatility? I’ll need her to take several seats backward. You’ll come for me, I know, but you can’t deny that the only appeal catfish has is peppersoup. What happens when that is taken away? Even when smoked, it’s still meh. So what are we saying?

5. Kote

This tastes divine, but a lot of times, you are likely to jam the one that tastes like cassava. You know, hard, bland, despite all the seasoning you put in it. And that’s my struggle with it. If you are going to cost so much, you might as well taste good all the time. As a plus, it tastes really good when fried.

4. Ojuyobo (Argentina)

Goodness, this fish is delicious! The name is because of the large eyes, but that doesn’t take anything away from the sweetness. It is like a mix of Titus and Shawa together, but there is more to it. It bangs in stew, soup, okro. It’s a complete package.

3. Croaker.

This one is seen as a rich people’s fish and rightly so. But whenever it lands on your plate, kneel down and say a prayer because you are about to experience a taste that is completely elite. Grilled or fried, this fish works. Stew or soups, e still dey.

2. Shawa

Yes, Shawa is awfully bony and should be discredited. But then, it makes up for it in taste. Shawa goes well in stew, soups, and any other thing you need it for. Even when fried, it still bangs with garri. If it’s just the bones, I can overlook that.

1. Titus

There is no other fish deserving of this spot. Titus has and will always be supreme. Taste? Check. Versatility? Check! This fish blends well with everything and brings out a unique flavour. Fry it, smoke it, cook it fresh, different flavour each time. Titus dear, na you dey reign.

Here’s last week’s ranking:

Today, I ask the most important question of 2020: What’s the best cake? Is it chocolate cake, vanilla or Red Velvet?

This is my ranking:

3. Chocolate cake

I still think chocolate cake is unnecessary. In fact, abolish the concept of chocolates entirely. Chocolate cakes are often too sweet, and you get tired easily. So what’s the point? If something that is supposed to bring me enjoyment tires me, what is the point?

2. Red Velvet

This is surprisingly very good. I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I did. Still, it doesn’t mean I think it should exist as such. I’m sorry to everyone who lives by it. For me, I could easily live my life without tasting it and I would be fine.

1. Vanilla cake

There is no cake that can compare to this, if we are being honest. That’s why it is the first. The blue print for all the other types of cake. It is the only supreme leader we recognize in these streets.

There, I said it.

Here’s last week’s ranking (this one won’t make you want to beat me, I promise):

We Ranked Beans Combos From Worst To Best

7. Beans and yam

This is a good combo. It is filling, and keeps you drinking water. Very good for when you’re broke, the same way we all are. The preparation is quite strenuous though, especially if the yam is hard and does not soften easily.

6. Beans and potatoes

The way I love this combo! Potatoes and beans bangs so hard. It’s total sweetness. And it’s rich in carbs too. My issue with it is the fact that potatoes are not exactly easy to peel. I’ve nicked my fingers a few times while trying to cook them. If you can get past that hurdle, it’s flex.

5. Beans and corn

People don’t talk about this combo enough and it stresses me out. Beans and corn is easily one of the best meals out there. The taste is completely different from any other beans combo, and it’s just as filling too. One excuse people give is that it takes too long to cook. But should that hinder you?

PS: People use sweet corn to supplement fresh maize.

Read: 7 Important Things You Need To Know About Cooking Beans

4. Beans and plantain

I thought long and hard before putting this at number 4. But the truth is, number 3 beats it hands down (check number 3 & come back to fight me). Yes, taste and all, beans and plantain is great. But satisfaction, availability, and quantity nko? And the truth is this: beans and plantain will tire you easily. Yes, I said what I said.

3. Beans and garri

I hope there are others who agree with me on this. Beans and garri is easily available, tastes great and can hold stomach well. Besides, some people still add garri to beans and plantain, so what are we saying?

2. Beans and rice

The way it is like this, elite combination. Nothing at all can take away its position. Rice and beans is elite. Be it cooked together or cooked separately, they align well.

1. Beans and bread

Can we all agree that bread and beans is the baddest to ever do it? CAN WE ALL AGREE, PLEASE? Especially if it’s soft agege bread and ewa agoyin. Goodness. If you are a Nigerian and you don’t like bread and beans, I don’t know for you oh.
