Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has become widely discussed in America because of a statement he made during a press conference.
Journalist:
โToday, there were very strong winds in the state of New Jersey, and security officials advised members of the delegation not to go outside for your own safety. Why did you go out to perform the prayer?โ
Pape Thiaw:
โIs there anything more important than prayer? I do not think that is your concern. You fear the wind, while we fear Allah, the One who created the wind. We came here for a game of entertainment, yet we have forgotten that we were created to worship Allah.
Even if the @FIFAWorldCup World Cup final were being played today and we were one of the finalist teams, we would still go out to perform the Jummah prayer, even if it meant losing the championship.
Do not lecture us about the rituals and obligations of our religion.โ

DNA is scary. There's a case of a woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he got a DNA test, it turned out he wasn't the father. She insisted that he was the father, so they repeated the test several times, but it kept giving the same result.
Later on, he discovered that according to the DNA results, he wasn't the baby's father but its uncle, which didn't make sense because he was an only child.
After more exhaustive tests, they discovered that the husband was actually a chimera, which means he had absorbed his twin in the uterus and carried two sets of DNA. So basically the baby was biologically the child of his twin brother, even though he was the father.

Minimum wage cannot do full tank but your president is seeking reelection and he is the favorite to win. Nigerians are very comfortable with bad governance.
