Then the debate began; is 100k too small or just fine?
100K is too small
https://twitter.com/FoluShaw/status/953871982948503552
100k is okay if...
Depending on where you live, you can totally make 100K work in this country. So many people are out of touch with reality.

If you as a wife is bringing in something, and your husband is too (both amounting to 100k or above it) and y'all have a decent saving culture, and start a small side business for extra income, and can cut your coats... You'll be fine really.

Really, how much is 100k worth to you? Read on for more interesting topics on social media this week.
Proposal gone wrong
On Monday this week, we heard of a lady who decided to take her relationship with her man to the next level by proposing to him. She decided on a public proposal at the Ikeja City Mall (ICM). However, things didn't go as planned. Watch the video below.
https://twitter.com/davidobisesan/status/952863908053897218
The video has since been trending on all social media platforms. Here are a few reactions.
Some people felt sorry for her
I’m still embarrassed on behalf of the girl whose proposal got declined by her boyfriend at ICM yesterday 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

This is why I'm against public proposals, you're putting yourself and the other person in an awkward situation. Doing it at home like me, collect your L or Yes in private.

I just saw the ICM proposal now and I don’t get why she decided to do it in public tho. It’s a major deal she’s the one proposing, why not do it in a better environment. Somewhere lowkey. Your house or something. If it must be loud it shouldn’t be ICM loud abeg!
— CONSIGLIERE (@thesamadeyemo) January 15, 2018
Whether it's a lady or guy proposing does it have to be in public?REALLLLLLY, what's wrong with having a private proposal.....chai I tire for this trend.
— Aesha Raji (@IamAeshaRaji) January 16, 2018
Plot twist, the guy is already married...allegedly
The dude that rejected his girlfriend proposal at ICM is actually married to someone else lol..

Ladies, would you propose to your man?
Is your country a sh!thole?
Last week, American President Donald Trump reportedly questioned why the US would want to have immigrants from “shithole countries” such as Haiti and African nations. Donald Trump has been openly racist in the past and so is widely unpopular among non-whites and even whites globally.
Haitians aren't taking these comments lying down, neither are African leaders. Nana Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana has openly condemned Donald Trump's racist comments while the Nigerian Presidency summoned the US Ambassador to Nigeria over the demeaning comments.
Is Nigeria a shithole country?
Quick answer; No and Yes
No, because...
30,000 Americans work and live in Nigeria. 117,000 Brits visit Nigeria yearly. Over one million Indians live in Nigeria. The Lebanese are the biggest applicants for Nigerian citizenship. Would so much people visit a shithole? Nigeria has many challenges, but it's not a shithole.

How can President Buhari be expected to respond to Donald Trump’s insult about Nigerians living in huts and his “shithole” racism, when Buhari himself is a Fulani tribalist in Nigeria? The pot cannot complain that the kettle is black. Get this man out of Aso Rock in 2019.

The bitter truth is that we are a "shithole" country, with a "shithole" govt. and a "shithole" President. It is left for us to clean up our shit, wash our arse, flush Buhari down the toilet, open the windows, get rid of the stench and make Nigeria a cleaner and better place.

Nigeria is what it is.
And what it is, is not very pleasant.

It is a #shithole.

If you genuinely murdered someone by mistake, you'll still serve some time in Jail for Manslaughter.
On this day in 2017, Nigeria's Military bombed over 230 IDPs at Rann, claiming it was in error. No one was prosecuted, no one resigned, no one was jailed.Do I hear 'Shithole?'

Donald Duke for president
Another Donald was also in the news this week but for a different reason. The former governor of Cross Rive state, Donald Duke publicly hinted at his desire to run for president come 2019. He made this known at the 3rd Mike Omotosho Annual Lecture titled, “Mellinials as Protagonists in Nation Building,” on Sunday night in Abuja.

We'll only support Donald Duke if...
If Donald Duke is truly gonna contest for Presidency in 2019, it'll be a great idea, but supporting him comes after he tells us his plans and how to he intends to achieve them.
I thought we are now "woke" enough to be cautious of "jumping" at OPTIONS just for their face values.
