Ask your parents, sister, anyone! Faaji is fully in our blood
It鈥檚 true. We wouldn鈥檛 lie

From Monday-Sunday, you can find people partying up at a club, bar, house party, you name it!

If dancing is allowed, you鈥檒l find us there live and direct!

Our own is that, from Rumours to Escape, we can bet your last 5k you’ll hear at least 3 of these songs playing:

‘All I Do is Win’ was a jam the first 2 years, but in 2018, we’re not too sure about that

We have been winning since 2010, we thank God. Next song please!

Even Chris Brown has rested this song, but Nigerian Djs? Mba no

Yeah (x3) to letting this song rest a little. Please and thanks!

Shaku is hard enough to dance to, you can’t be throwing this song in the mix every 5 minutes

Please pity those of us with two left legs

‘I Got A Feeling’ has to be the one of the most over-played songs in the club, we lie?

We鈥檝e got a feeling this song should be retired ASAP!

If you are TIRED of hearing ‘Numb/Encore’ playing in clubs, you are not alone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNPECkESPbU
Do I shoki? Play an air guitar? What do I do?

We love 50 Cent, but this song has been playing since we were in primary school #enoughisenough

Go shawty! no literally, please go!

Did all Nigerian DJs sit and agree to always play this song to keep Fat Joe happy?

Because we don鈥檛 understand again!

Remember when Dorobucci came on and you had to refrain yourself from dancing with handkerchief?

We lowkey miss when this song came on every five minutes!

To wrap this up, please feel free to never stop playing Shakiti Bobo, we’ll always be ready

Can鈥檛 wait till I鈥檓 90 and annoying my grandkids with the Shakiti- bobo dance. ]]>

11 Reasons Nigerian Weddings Are The Worst /life/oldies/11-reasons-nigerian-weddings-worst/ Wed, 06 Jan 2016 08:23:20 +0000 http://zikoko.com/?p=15149 Nigerian weddings are one of the most common avenues to really turn up. But then, it’s never always about the Jollof rice or beautiful bridesmaids.
They can be one of the worst events to ever attend. Here are 11 annoying things about Nigerian weddings.

1. They are usually very crowded.

Because, Nigerians will find a way to sneak into a strictly by invitation event.

2. …And time wasting.

You probably will spend more than 6 hours of your life in a loud wedding depending on how much African time is spent.

3. Lord! The overpriced Aso ebi.

Let鈥檚 not even talk about the fact that you cannot wear that same Aso ebi to another wedding because you have to keep buying more Aso ebi.

4. Expenses! Expenses! Expenses!

With expensive Aso ebi comes expenses like a nice clutch, face beat because your face has to slay, shoes and let鈥檚 not even talk about tailor charges.

5. The many stages and tiresome procedures.

The introduction dress, traditional/engagement dress, 聽church/Nikkah dress and reception dress. Kilode!

6. Not getting served Jollof rice because you didn’t buy Aso ebi.

Yes! People get petty like that.

7. Weddings MCs are boring and tell the worst jokes.

When will this trash end?

8. The annoying people that steal all the drinks and small chops at the table.

You have eaten your fear of God with the small chops, abi?

9. Getting criticised for dressing hotter than the bride.

https://twitter.com/Irruaprincess/status/683264223871385600
You can鈥檛 unlock your full potential at a Nigerian wedding.

10. The low chances of getting seized.

Nigerian weddings are the fields where seeds of heartbreak are sown. Ironic abi?

11. Dealing with those “Your own is next” comments.

Wipe the stupidity off your mouth please. ]]>
All the Things You Experience When You Go Clubbing in Lagos /life/clubbing-in-lagos/ Fri, 23 Oct 2015 12:13:30 +0000 http://zikoko.com/?p=7737 It’s Friday Night.

Time to put on your dancing shoes and hit the town.

Then you get a text “Don’t forget there is vigil this this evening”.

Ah ah mummy. Vigil ke?聽 These church people sef.
Wasn鈥檛 there vigil last week?

So you think of a way to wriggle out of this one.

And when you get home start giving your mum some sweet tales.

While your siblings are looking at you like

Ah you can liiiieeeee!

Your mum finally lets you off the hook with

While one sibling is busy chatting like

Who asked you? Bad belle.

So you go and gather your best baffs.

They ain鈥檛 never seen nothing like this.

And sneak out of the house like an armed robber.

You and your friends arrive looking sweet!

Abeg you wan try?

Only for the bouncer to say it’s full.

My friend do you know what I did to get here? Better open this place.

After small wash, he allows you in and you enter the place with style.

Only for you to see your ex with that babe he said was his cousin.

But wait鈥

Then you remember you don’t care because you are better.

You look to the left and see your crush.

Well鈥 Hello fine boy.

You look to the left and see his girlfriend.

When will I finally win?

Then you remember what you and your friends came for once you hear “It’s Young John ..”

Give them!

*Bado sneh!* Show them!

And your personal favourite 鈥渁ruba鈥.

Finish them!

Even though at the end of the night you smell like cigarette smoke and you’ve danced your makeup off and you鈥檝e spent too much money, you feel fulfilled after a Lagos night out and are ready to do it again next week.
