It’s another great weekend. A lot of happenings made social media bubble with excitment, from Anthony Joshua’s win, to OPay launching its bank without data USSD code.

Hello, folks. Happy weekend to you all and hope we are all preparing for the yuletide?

On this roundup, we bring to you amazing happenings from the previous week and the incredible win from Anthony Joshua that made Nigerians celebrate.

Recall that Anthony Joshua regained the WBA ‘super’, IBF and WBO titles with a rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia last weekend. Yes this has caused lots of celebrations all over social media.

All Nigerians were happy for him, especially because he is one of us, a Nigerian.

The celebration did not stop on that day of his win. He continued to trend after a tweet on Friday in which he reiterated his desire to become the undisputed king via his Twitter page

Some fans made mockery of his opponent after the win. Trust Nigerians.

While that is still trending, those whose names are Chisom by chance seized the opportunity to celebrate themselves.

Well Chisom or no Chisom, let anyone who has more money spend it to show love always.
