First, a background. Flappy Bird is a game for iOS and Android that has recently gone viral in the last few days. The game was developed by Vietnamese developer, Nguyen Ha Dong.

To advance in Flappy Bird, you have to tap the screen to navigate the bird between Super Mario-like pipes. After each pipe, you get a point. It drives people crazy.

What’s amazing about this game however, is that some users have managed to play for so long and have reached scores of over 2 billion. Yes. 2 billion pipes.

On the 11th of April 2010, Silverbird Television got information  about a marine mammal stranded between Elegushi and Oniru beaches in Lekki, Lagos.

STV’s reporter went to the scene and shot this wonderful collection of new names for whales.

Sea pork and Moses Whale. Whales would be impressed.

It was meant to be a simple Halloween prank. Everyone laughed about it. Except the Black Guy.

Don’t ever scare a black guy. Seriously.

Rewind to 2009. D’Banj decided to run a reality TV show like Flavour of Love. He’s the Koko Master so he called his the Koko Mansion. In one of the tasks, the housemates are required to present a solution to an array of Nigerian problems. Everything was fine and dandy until Rita came up.

Nigeria are not safety enough.

Every Thursday, starting from today, we’ll bring you hilarious, amazing and sometimes completely stupid content from the deep trenches of the Internet.

We’re starting off with Festival Of Slaps. The short clip from a still unknown Nigerian movie, stars Mike Ezuoronye and 3 others in some slapsgiving.

I found this video in a post on ReadWrite, after I clicked a link  Jesse tweeted to a post about developers porting web apps to mobile and another post about Google throwing sand in Apple’s face.

This animated video examines the way our brain works with respect to finding, collecting and memorising information in respect to the internet. The researcher says the Internet distracts us most of the time and doesn’t give us the space to learn slowly and think deeply.

You’re encouraged to go offline for a while and do some slow thinking, or write down things on paper instead of typing them on your phone.

I promise I didn’t switch tabs while I was drafting this post. >_>
