“Today, it is being sold at N319, although
some are selling at N320,” one of BDC
sources informed.


Throughout last week, the naira maintained
a strong stand against the dollar, a situation
which had been absent in the parallel
market for the past few months.
Many had said the naira will likely stay firm
against the dollar this week, but that doesn’t
seem to be going quite well as the nation
currency is presently hovering around N319
– N320.

2face, Yemi Alade performance
at #TasteTheFeelingNg launch

Finally, Nigeria’s top male and female
music artistes, 2Baba and Yemi Alade, have
performed together for the first time. The
long-awaited collabo took place at the
Coca-Cola ‘Taste the Feeling’ Launch in
Lagos, over the weekend.
We mean it when we say the atmosphere
was electric. Simply magnetizing. Getting
fellow influencers to jive and sing along can
be a hard feat, but both singers pulled it off
effortlessly. Little wonder Denrele, Bovi and
Falz could not resist joining Yemi Alade on
stage while 2Baba joined the dance floor.
Cynthia Morgan stole the show when she
took up Yemi’s challenge to dance. If you’re
wondering who won, well, it ended in a tie
#wink.
Performances aside, Coca-Cola treated
guests to water sports. Radio personality,
Kaylah and comedian, LaffUp were among
the brave ones to go on jet skis. We are
certainly looking forward to the next Coca-
Cola event.

7 funny signs you have become a typical Nigerian woman

7 funny signs you have become
a typical Nigerian woman
Basically, Nigerian women have interesting
qualities. Firstly, they know all the tricks in
the world to make you do their bidding and
then they could turn on their drama skills
and use some fast lines on you too.
Growing up with many Nigerian women
around could make you possess one or two
of their traits and start to act like them
yourself. There are c

ertain qualities that
Nigerian women exhibit; and you know for
sure that you have been transformed into
one when you start doing the following:
1. When you bargain in the market till
you are insulted


Don’t bother paying, come and steal it
Have you tried going to the market with a
Nigerian woman? It even becomes more
dramatic if she is a mother as she would
want to cut down her budget by all means
to save money.
Nigerian women have the habit of bargaining
in the market till market sellers insult them
and ask them to take the wares without
paying. When you start to do this, just know
you are gradually transforming into a typical
Nigerian woman.

commit as a Nigerian
2. When you can talk with your eyes
Most Nigerian women expect their children
to understand body signs and languages.
Your mother could hit you for failing to
understand some sign she gave you with her
eyes.
Overtime, these signs become a part of the
children too. When you start to use your
eyes to tell someone to pick up money from
the floor, then you have succeeded in
becoming a typical Nigerian woman.

3. When you cannot do little chores by
yourself
Nigeria is blessed with a lot of hardworking
women. Most of these women display this
all the time and train their children to do
likewise. However, they love being pesky for
no reason.
You know you have become a typical
Nigerian woman when you start to ask your
children to get you an object you could get
for yourself. And worse still, when you start
to use your mouth to point out directions.
4. When you make retorts without
thinking them through
Sorry for yourself!
Most Nigerian women seem to have ready-
made answers. Try not to offend any of
them or risk being compared to an object
you despise.
In other cases, they show their frustration by
making statements that showcase their
efforts. When a child says he/she is hungry,
they retort by saying ‘ Come and eat me.’
5. When you cannot accept simple
apology
To err is human and to forgive is divine, they
say; offending a Nigerian could feel like hell.
Nigerian women could be very difficult at
times. You know you have been initiated
when someone tells you sorry and you
cannot help saying ‘Sorry for yourself.’
6. When you do not understand the
term picnic anymore
All these for a picnic?

This is noticeable when you intend going for
a picnic and you pack all the things you
could think of. You know you are a typical
Nigerian woman when you pack wrappers
and many things that would be considered
inappropriate. This attitude extends into you
packing things needed for a year for a
journey that would last a week.
7. When you become judgmental
Nigerian women see themselves as women
who are chastised. They understand the
word decency and try being moderate in
everything they do. You know you have
transitioned into a typical Nigerian woman
when you cannot help opening your mouth
when you see a girl walking half naked.

Symptoms Of Diabetes You Should Know

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes usually
appear in subtle ways. In fact, it’s typical
for people in the early stages of the disease
not to realize there’s something wrong for
about 5 years before they are diagnosed.

Diabetes can wreak havoc on your health,
especially if it goes undiagnosed for too
long, that is why it is important to know the
signs and symptoms before it goes too far.
Many of us know the most common
symptoms—frequent urination, increased
thirst and unusual weight loss, just to name
a few; but there are plenty of other less
obvious signs that something is not quite
right.
Here are some of the most surprising
symptoms of diabetes:
1. Snoring
Is your snoring keeping your spouse up at
night? Excessive nighttime noise is one
symptom of diabetes, and has actually been
shown to be a risk factor for developing the
disease. One major sleep disorder
associated with snoring, obstructive sleep
apnea, is nine times more common in
diabetics than in the general population.

2. Feeling cold
People with diabetes often feel unusually
cold, especially in their hands and feet. This
is due to diabetic neuropathy and kidney
damage is the result of diabetes which
causes poor circulation, and thus makes it
difficult for your hands and feet to stay
warm. www.showmehealthytips.com
3. Irritability
Diabetes isn’t just a disease of the body, it’s
also a disease of the mind. The low glucose
levels that are a hallmark of diabetes can
cause all sorts of mental issues—including
anxiety, apathy, moodiness, impaired
judgement and, yes, irritability.
4. Bed wetting
Most of us haven’t wet the bed since we
were little—but people with both type 1 and
type 2 diabetes are more prone to this
embarrassing nighttime leakage. Frequent
urination is a common symptom of diabetes
and peeing in your sleep isn’t necessarily an
exception.
