Shaarè team on cleanup duty for record breaking Hilda Bacci achievement.
Everyday, Nigerians are breaking bounds and creating new records across the entertainment , educational and social scenes. Despite the lackadaisical governance that has ravaged the political space, Nigerians remain resolute in individually representing the country. Hilda Bacci recently broke the world record for the most consecutive hours cooking, cooking continuously for 100 hours. While the record breaker has been hailed across numerous social media and news media outlets, the supporting staff who worked behind the scenes must also be appreciated for the efforts. One of these are the Shaarè team, who were responsible for the cleanup during the record breaking process.

Social media user claims to take 100 photos daily.
Photos are an evident indication of beauty marks. To some people, it is a clear reflection of how far they have improved in their longing for a defined body shape or skin progress. To others, it just serve to preserve memories of a particular period. Regardless of what it is, we can not deny the impact of photos in recording our daily progress. However, a social media user, Maliyaofficial, has come on twitter to say she takes about 100 photos daily. This has received mixed reactions from online users who either feel it is exaggerated or true.
I take pictures 100 times a day, is that bad? pic.twitter.com/c5aNFS5a6N

Ghanaian OAP says that Nigerian music has killed theirs.
It looks like the unending arguments between Nigerians and Ghanaians is not getting close to an end. With the global dominance of Wizkid, Davido, Burna boy and emergence of young artistes like Tems, Rema and Fireboy, the Nigerian music industry is on a trajectory of global dominance. Nigerian artists have caused the world to shift its conventional sounds to accommodate the groovy sound of African music. In a recent outburst, a Ghanaian OAP blamed the Nigerian music for causing the death of Ghanaian music. This assertion is definitely false, as Ghanaian musicians like Amaarae, Sarkodie and Gyakie have been ruling charts with their distinctive sounds.
