Nollywood's Top 10 Villains RANKED!
Who's the baddest of them all? Villains. We love our villains. In the grand scheme of things, good villains are always more memorable than the hero of the story. There's just something about a person so hell bent on bringing down somebody else through any means necessary that is fascinating to watch. And our Nollywood villains have been giving us drama and evil to feast our eyes on for a long time now.

10 Insane Celebrity Makeup Transformations (Photos).
The differences are crazy. We love our celebrities. One of the many reasons we love our celebrities is the image they give us. They give us looks that we don't expect our everyday person to rock. Their outfits are over the top. Their hair and makeup is over the top. And we allow it, and we talk about it, and we love or sometimes hate their choices, but all the same they get us talking.

Talk about young money. Do you remember the phrase, being born with a silver spoon? Apparently, it's real. Apparently, there are some people in this world who actually come out of the womb already set for the rest of their life. Can you believe that?

7 Most RIDICULOUS Nigerian Tattoos (Photos).
What were they thinking? Tattoos are permanent. That's what makes them so scary. Because if you happen to get a tattoo that comes out badly, you're stuck with it. (Actually, these days aren't there tattoo removal processes?)

7 Most Stylish Nollywood Actresses Over 50 (Photos).
These women prove that age is nothing but a number. If there's one thing Nigeria isn't lacking, it's women in entertainment. I think something I find interesting is the fact that when the feminist movement really picked up, especially in Hollywood and people standing up for more women in films, especially women of a certain age, I realized that I as a Nigerian was actually privileged. Why? Because we never lacked women on our TV.

You Won't Believe How Much Money These 7 Music Videos Made The Artistes.
Even I can't believe it. When I would hear of and see artistes spend exuberant amounts of money on shooting music videos, I always raised an eyebrow. The days of MTV, Trace, Channel O, and the likes of these channels that streamed music videos are behind us. Of course a number of these channels still exist, but back in the day, these channels were really the only way of hearing and seeing new music. The flashier, the better.

7 Times Celebrities Fought The Church.
You don't go up against the church. That's just the way it is in Nigeria. But when some celebrities saw certain things they simply couldn't get behind in some Nigerian churches, they spoke up about it. Sometimes, the opposite was the case, and the church was angry at the celebrity. Either ways,
