writermaximus@writermaximus - THE SOCIAL MEDIA AWARDS!

This promises to be the event of the year that no one knows about.
There'll be excitement, thrills, plot twists and most importantly... USELESS TROPHIES!
Dear reader, you might be confused as to what this award show actually entails.
The social media awards is basically an event in which various social media platforms are presented with awards to recognize their impact on society.
There are a slew of different categories and we'll get to them soon, right after this commercial break. Stay tuned

What trophy would you prefer that each mentioned social media should be awarded with? This COM author gave his reasons for the trophies he awarded, go tell us yours.

kingsleyy@kingsleyy - Saturday's night

Jeeez! I summoned courage, got up and closed the window even though it's glass, at least, the glass blockage would reduce the force of the bullet when it passes and I might be able to catch the bullet...the way it's done in India movies.
Then I crawled to the toilet, to make it almost impossible for the bullet to hit me incase it penetrates. There's no way it can penetrate through two block walls and still be forceful. Naaah! Even if it tries, I'm very sure the force left in it will not be able to puncture a blown balloon.

Did he mock indian movies and their obvious tricks but actually planning to use their trick? Guess situations call for real life practice of what we see in movies.

humbe@humbe - Why is my Virgin-Hair so stubborn?

After chemically processing my hair I was left with now my "big" ears - one always pointing East and the other West while all my hair faced South. My ears had no better life plans for me. They just look ready to hear what people are gonna say about my choice to relax my "big hair" and how they were now too exposed. The least my ears could do since they were now the problem was to filter what people had to say. But Nah! They were just camping there looking big enough to absorb every comment I got and send it to my brain to process it, then to my heart to question my brain on the decision it made.

Those ears don't look big except the super ability it has is what makes it feel big, I think it's an amazing super power.

balikis95@balikis95 - Currency Exchange: A boy was asked...

And without giving it much thought he chose the latter. Half a billion! That is huge money, you have to agree. But surprisingly it brought laughter all around as people mocked him for his statement. It was then a woman decided to tell a story that happened in her days.
According to her, a man was asked, which he preferred, 100 dollars, or 100 million naira. And unsurprisingly, the man chose dollars. Who wouldn't have? It is huge money. And seeing that it is foreign currency.

Another reminder that many people are still in dark about currency exchange, missing opportunities and a few number of foolish choices made by the characters in the COM post.

supernova004@supernova004 - MISSED CALLS

We managed to laugh over her lateness and settle in.
Do you know the most insane part? She walked in with three of her friends. 3!!!. When I sighted them at the entrance, I knew they were trouble. I've heard tales of girls going om dates with friends tagging along but I had never experienced it.
If you see how they dressed; to kill. They were all forming porsche and ajebo, swinging their pbones in my face. As a guy-man, I said, no problem. Babygirl said they came with her for security reasons. Awwn! Who goes on dates with someone they're uncomfortable with??

What a hectic date! Good thing he got everything covered as he had a perfect plan for the money sucking ladies. You should read it and learn some smartness in that aspect.
