Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.

It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.

Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”

The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.

During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”

Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”

Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
