The #YepaChallenge - Top 20

So... Twitter Nigeria has once again come upon us with a new challenge. The #YepaChallenge - which is being promoted by several big names on the twitter scene, complete with prizes for the most notable and funny memes of the trend.

We've compiled just a few of the funniest twitter posts for your unhealthy consumption, because we do live to please, and the things we saw were things like;

This man that has seen life on the ground level

This is why we stick to the classics - Nokia Torch

 This common exam challenge for the ages...

But don't worry - Jesus is always the answer

 This life lesson about coming early, because hunger is a savage beast...

At least you can take home the aroma

Power!

Two men

One intimidated by the lady in her

The other, unsatisfied with it

Both actually fail to recognize one thing -

The powers that be

Which she possesses.

When I was younger, my father always told me never to be a liability. He always said, “Mary! You have all it takes to be all you want.” As I grew up, I realized that all he told me was true. All I needed to be comfortable, is within me. 

Don't We All?

I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car. I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum. From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered. This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times."

"I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.

When You Need Me

"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud." - Maya Angelou

You probably already know how it feels when you think someone is using you.

We've all got that person, who doesn't remember us till they need that one favour only we can help with... and even then, it feels they might only be contacting us because they couldn't find anyone else. Sometimes you end up feeling like the last resort.

....  Hurts, doesn't it?

Speak. Out.

 "Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes"   - Maggie Khun

There are times in life that silence does not get you the answer you would like it to. Silence is a cold storm of memory and thoughts that can chill you to the bone, and sometimes you’re lucky enough that people feel the cold and know there's something very wrong.

Sometimes, however, silence and chill just are not enough.

Sometimes you need fire.

The Future

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”   

- Marianne Williamson, Return to Love

Countless years have since past as we've heard it chorused; In the classrooms, In the streets, In the churches - "Children are the future", "The youth are the leaders of tomorrow".

But.... the youth have now gotten old. Some got so old that their time came and they have even passed away. Yet the same people who have lead and governed for 30 - 50 years are still leading and governing today. With the trend we're on, it seems we go further and further in the past to drudge up leaders from regiments and councils of old to take the reigns of power.

Are we so incapable, we "youth", of taking control of our own lives? Our present? Our very futures? Will we stamp down our heritage? Have we young lions forgotten how to roar? Meant to be eagles, but unable to soar. 

How We Killed The World....

"If you could ask God one question.....what would it be?"

That's the post I saw in Nairaland one day. It's not a new question. Many people have asked the same question before. And many more people still will.

"Why did you create hell?"
