Some newspapers carried the report of the release of an additional 21 Chibok girls, which if true, would have been a great way to round off the year. Alas, it was fake. Tolu Ogunlesi and Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, set the news straight.
Everyone in a rush to do 'breaking' news. Even 'traditional' media. No standards anymore for verifying, or even hedging. Sigh.

Fake news, alas. See @GarShehu TL. This sort of rush to 'break' unverified news not helpful at all. https://t.co/AxjpCMBuxO

2. Headies 2016
The Headies ought to be one of the biggest music award shows in Nigeria, but it was marred by boycotts and technical difficulties.
I pity falz. When people mention the worst headies in history they will say falz was the presenter #headies2016

3. Mr Eazi
After Tekno was booted out by the organisers of the Headies for not conforming to mandatory requirements, Mr Eazi swept in and scooped up the Next rated award many felt should have been Tekno’s.
Techno just gave up his shine to Mr Eazi.
When God wants to bless you, your competitors act stupid.

6. Scarcity of cash
It has come to my knowledge that there is no cash in PHC banks.
People are legit denied their own money in cash?

it's not just Port Harcourt, people have also reported this in Asaba, and Bayelsa.

Reports of scarcity of cash in some states of the Federation have come to our attention. Apparently, some bank ATMs are either not dispensing cash at all, while some banks are instructing customers to put a cap on their withdrawal limits. What in hell is going on?
You're late;
Been like this for weeks;
Got worse due to Xmas shoppingA Bank Manager told us CBN haven't supplied them with cash in Weeks https://t.co/ozdiqv1u9n
