Nigerian Restaurant in London

Image
 Today marks a significant day in the history of Nigeria where innocent youth went out to protest for good governance and also to stop the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria police who were given a lot of power that they abuse. They use such powers to steal from innocent Nigerians and sometimes carry out extra-judicial killing. The protest was called End SARS Protest and at Lekki too gate the Lagos state government called on the Military to calm the protest but unfortunately things went south and the souls of good Nigerian youths were claimed when the military open fire on unarmed Nigerian Youth. So we have to raise our flags in blood in the spirit of solidarity and to reaffirm that this guy didn't Japa oh, we went to re-enforce and we shall make Nigeria great again. The date is printed in blood to honour you guys, but we want to talk about a cool Nigerian Restaurant one could go and chill if one find him or herself in London UK.

Liberty Stadium

Image
 Are you in Ibadan Oyo state and you are looking for a place to enroll your kids to learn karate's 🥋 or any sport of their choice, then the Liberty Stadium is a place to go check that out. It is located at liberty road ring road in Ibadan Oyo State. The Stadium was created in 1960 which happens to be when Nigeria became independent. As a memorial of that event, the regional prime minister then Chief Obafemi Awolowo named it Liberty Stadium but, it was renamed after the Prime minister as the Obafemi Awolowo's stadium by the then President Goodluck E Jonathan. He was inspired after paying a visit to the widow (the wife of the late Awolowo) Chief Hannah Awolowo in 2010. For easy navigation, I would advise you call the place liberty stadium so one could get easy direction. Apart from the main standard football Pitch of 25,00 seating capacity,  it also host, a standard swimming pool, Tennis Court, volleyball court, handball court, hockey pitch, basketball court etc. There are othe...

Ileya Festival

Image
 Hangout Nigeria is a blog that tell of events or occasion that brings people together for majorly fun. This period, I believe we have discussed new yam festival which happens at the end of June to October depending on the ethic group one belongs in Nigeria. We had also discussed the Islamic holiday in the post, "where is my ram". It was said in the post that Eid al-ahda was also call Ileya festival in the south western part of Nigeria. We just want to talk about the uniqueness of the celebration in the south west (Yoruba) region of Nigeria. It is always symbolized by the killing of a ram, that was why the first post was titled " where is your ram ". It tells of the story of Abraham and Isaac. The Quran (Islamic holy book) has it's own version of the story but it's a little similar to that in the Bible - I'm a Christian. So let me narrate it the little I could.  Abraham was one chosen of God to be blessed but he suffered having a child with his beloved w...

 Pastor E.A. Adeboye would be 80 on the second of March 2022. Friends and relatives had lunch a project of winning 80 millions souls in 80days as a birthday gift to the vessel of God. What do you know about the Man of God Papa G.O Adeboye? Let me just let you in a little bit to the life of the great Man of God. He was born in March 2, 1942 making him 79 years old to be turned 80 in March 2nd.  His initials E.A. stands for Enouch Adejare. So his full name is Pastor Enouch Adejare Adeboye from Osun state.

Alternative Federal University

Image
 The Academic Staff Union of university have been on strike for over 9 months now leaving many students at home idle. An idle man they say is the devil's work shop. Some have taken the time to learn a skill while majority are confused hoping to when the government universities is going to resume academic activities. Well hangout has found one which even functioned in  the face of the COVID-19 lockdown.  The National Open University of Nigeria, it's not a private university, it's a federal University recognize in Nigeria. It doesn't operate like the conventional university. It operate an ODL (Open and Distance Learning) system of learning.

Big Brother 9Ja Season 5 Last Party

Image
 Yesterday, Biggie organized the last Saturday night party of this season BB9ja show (season 5), it kinda took the form of America high school prom for some housemates. Old evicted housemates were invited to the party and everyone wanted to bond again. Women are really funny, but going out to see things outside the little confinement (bb house) would broaden ones sense of understand about women. Ozo was predicted to end up in the top 5, perhaps win the big brother show; but was evicted a week to the grand finale. I believe fans got tired of watching him fruitlessly chasing Nneji and constantly ignored. Why don't you take a cue from Laycon, he took a shine at Erica and she politely turned him down and went for some rich guy in the house. He still kept his pride as a man and look up to him leaving outside. Many of the ladies would be all over him because his appearance on the show would make him a celebrity. One should learn how to deal with rejection, there is a saying that goes, ...
