A recent study analysed tweets from 2006-2017, specifically 126,000 stories (all debunked by fact-checking agencies) tweeted by about three million people more than 4.5 million times. The study however showed that a fake news item has got 70 percent possibility of being retweeted than real news, also the top 1 percent of fake news ultimately reached between 1,000 and 100,000 people (while the truth rarely reached more than 1,000 people).

 It is Thursday! and Thursdays are for throwbacks.  Recently, I got an opportunity to see this movie again. Interestingly, I decided to remind you the story... Sister Act is a 1992 American musical comedy and one of the most financially successful comedies of the early 1990s. Directed by Emile Ardolino and written by Joseph Howard, the film stars Whoopi Goldberg as a Reno lounge singer who has been put under protective custody in a San Francisco convent of Poor Clares and has to pretend to be a nun when a mob boss puts her on his hit list.

 By Praise Olowe Just when I thought the issue of corporate begging had seized in Lagos, some of my recent encounters within the Lagos metropolis has got me re thinking. Corporate beggars seem to be back in town and this time around, they are back in re branded styles. Street begging is not new in Nigeria, and it majorly involves visibly disadvantaged people, who line major roads to beg for money. You would agree with me that, seeing a good looking man who is all dressed up in tuxedo, carrying a fancy brief case and wearing a pair of shoe so well polished that you can almost see your reflection in them on the street of Lagos is not at all a concern. However, it becomes one when this corporately dressed man, walks up to a lady not to make advances, but to seek assistance backing it up with a really pathetic story. This was my experience a few days ago, at the Oshodi area of Lagos. This handsome looking guy, walked up to me and said: (not the exact word...
