    You smell Nice, Lagos Building collapse, and other Trending Stories on Social Media Last week

    You smell Nice, Lagos Building collapse, and other Trending Stories on Social Media Last week

    Another week has ended with lots of social media trends we can’t stop talking about. Lets get down to the ones that shook the whole of social media.

    Compliment gone wrong as Nigerians react to ‘You Smell Nice’

    A HR personnel simply identified as Taiwo probably expected a lot of empathy when she took to Twitter to narrate how she embarrassed a male job-seeker who told her she smelled nice during an interview.

    @Gidi_Traffic The post that triggered off the #YouSmellNice controversy pic.twitter.com/gOsyGrG8wi

    — AustynZOGS (@Austynzogs) March 12, 2019

    But what she got wasn’t quite what she expected. While some people agreed with her that the compliment was inappropriate, many people felt there was nothing wrong with it. Some even went as far as insinuating the joblessness of the man involved was his only crime.

    If na one flashy but jobless fine boy jam her outside and said the same thing …. next thing on Twitter 👇🏼

    "so I bumped into the love of my life today and guess, what he said I smell nice. Awww So sweet 🤗 😍 I'm already planning our reception guys"#Yousmellnice #Taiwo pic.twitter.com/YSFaNjxjIG

    — O O B (@lumide0b) March 12, 2019

    Trust Nigerians and their creativity, soon enough memes started emerging. One of them was the unveiling of “You Smell Nice” Perfume.

    Nigerians are not nice at all 😂😂😂😂 #Taiwo #YouSmellNice pic.twitter.com/TsdCCj8hbN

    — Arike M Messi◽ (@PrettyDebbie10) March 12, 2019

    Even Nollywood refused to be left out as they recreated their own version of the interview.

    NIGERIANS SHA 😂😂😂

    Even fashion designers latched on to the trend to design You Smell Nice T-Shirt.

    Cristiano Ronaldo hat trick and Messi’s Response

    Five time world best player, Cristiano Ronaldo put in a brilliant performance on Tuesday night to send Juventus into the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League.

    📊💫 Cristiano Ronaldo's favorite victims in the Champions League:

    1️⃣- Juventus (10)
    2️⃣- Bayern Munich (9)
    3️⃣- Atletico Madrid (7)
    4️⃣- Dortmund (7). pic.twitter.com/Gp91hg53oi

    — Cristiano Ronaldo ⬜⬛ 🐐 (@Cr7Fran4ever) March 15, 2019

    Ronaldo’s hat trick was so impressive that the whole of twitter and other social media platforms sang his praises for a while.

    — Jimmy Obeid (@KingRobbStark1) March 15, 2019

    But the story changed when arch rival, Lionel Messi scored a brace with two assists which many people thought was a better performance.

    Anything you can do, I can do better 😏

    Cristiano Ronaldo is back in Lionel Messi's shadow again 👀#UCL pic.twitter.com/snWFkM8EwX

    — Goal (@goal) March 14, 2019


    This inadvertently led to the comparison of both players. Nonetheless, with 124 goals in the UCL, Ronaldo remains the competition’s most accomplished performer.

    Lagos School Building Collapse Leaves Nigerians Furious

    A three-storey building in Ita-Faaji area of Lagos Island collapsed on Wednesday. Unofficial sources claim at least 11 pupils of a nursery and primary school located on the building lost their lives.

    Name of School: OHEN Nursery & pry skul.
    – 12 children gone
    – 11 children identified
    – 4 Adults gone
    – 41 alive (under treatment) in L/Island General Hospital
    – others receiving treatment in various hospitals #LagosBuildingCollapse pic.twitter.com/xH6q4BCgsx

    — Jubril A. Gawat (@Mr_JAGs) March 14, 2019

    While Nigeria mourned, some members of the opposition decided to play politics with the unfortunate incident.

    President @MBuhari ought to have travelled to Lagos for an on the spot assessment of the #LagosBuildingCollapse. As dictatorial as Putin is alleged to be, he flew to Russia’s Ural Mountains region in 2018 to participate in rescue efforts at a collapsed building in SUBZERO WEATHER

    — Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) March 14, 2019

    Nonetheless, the buck stops at the desk of the Lagos state government. It was thus necessary to remind them that paying lip service to such man-made disasters is no longer an option.

    — The Punch Newspapers (@MobilePunch) March 15, 2019

    In all, we hope the government listens to the people’s plea to avoid future occurrence. We At Technext.NG mourn with families that lost loved ones.
