Before Zach Galifianakis made it big in Hollywood, he used to frequent Fox Laundry in Santa Monica, where he met and became friends with 87-year-old, Elizabeth ‘Mimi’ Haist, who lived in the laundry mat and collected tips for helping people with laundry. Zach stopped frequenting the laundry mat after his success with The Hangover, but when he learned that Mimi was homeless, he decided to help. Zach rented an apartment for her and continues to pay all of her bills. He has also brought Mimi as his date to the movie premieres for Hangover 2, The Campaign and Hangover 3. #10 of Top 15 International Celebrities Who's got A Heart Of Gold
Dave Grohl – Foo Fighters
In 2006, two Australian miners were trapped in a mine after it collapsed. The two miners asked for an iPod loaded with Foo Fighters music to be sent down the mine while they waited. They received the iPod, along with a personal note from Foo Fighters lead singer, Dave Grohl. The note read, “I want you to know that when you come home, there’s two tickets to any Foos show, anywhere, and two cold beers waiting for you. Deal? Friday, June 27, 2014

Waje: #4 of 5 Nigeria’s Famous Female Singers
Her Fly with the Eagles collaboration may be making waves, but it may be hard to take your eyes off the lady behind the voice. A rare talent, her vocal range covers three octaves. But it was not all boom for her. She may have featured in several hits including P square’s Do Me, Banky W’s Thief My Kele and MI’s One naira, but it was her single So Inspired that made her path straight. A workaholic, she recently confessed of having little or no time for her flocking male admirers.

# 24 LAGOS STATE: The 36 States Of Nigeria And Their Meanings
24. LAGOS STATE
Now to the legend, the smallest state in Nigeria but as you know na, gidigba o shilekun. In 1861, the Oba of Lagos ceded the area to the United Kingdom thus becoming a colony and was named the Settlement of Lagos and Dependencies. The indigenous name for Nigeria’s most popular subregion was Eko (you can add Aromisalegbelegbe if you like) but in the 17th century, the name was changed to ‘Lago di Curamo’ by the Portuguese traders and explorers after a port in Portugal which bears the same name and then finally called it Lagos. ‘Lagos’ means lakes (lago = lake) in Portuguese and it was inspired by the many lagoons, rivers and water bodies in the state. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach Lagos in 1472. Till today, the Portuguese/Brazilian influence is still very much visible. Shebi you still remember Joao Esan Da Rocha and his descendants, Fernandez, Cardoso, Faustinho, Vera Cruz, Marinho and the rest na. Make una no go add Aguero for there o

#23 KWARA STATE: The 36 States Of Nigeria And Their Meanings
Created in May 1967 as the West Central State, the name was changed to Kwara (Kuwara, Quarra or Kowara), which is the local name that the Nupes have given to the River Niger which forms the northern border of the state. In Nupenci (Nupe language), Kwara means ‘Sea’ or ‘Lake’ of the Nupes. The Nupes are some of the most amazing and enchanting tribes in Nigeria and they live on both sides of the River Niger (in Kwara and Niger States). For the Nupes in Niger State, the same river is also called Edu, and there are already agitations for the creation of an Edu State for the Nupes. Some Hausas also refer to the River Niger as ‘Kwara’ or Gulbi Nkowora (River Kwara). At almost 4,200 kilometers, it is the 3rd longest river in Africa. #CeendeeMiYeBs!

#22 KOGI STATE: The 36 States Of Nigeria And Their Meanings
The name ‘Kogi’ is a derivation of the Hausa word ‘kogi’ meaning ‘river’. The two biggest rivers in Nigeria, the Niger and the Benue form a confluence in the state. Quite simple, isn’t it?
#21 KEBBI STATE: The 36 States Of Nigeria And Their Meanings
21. KEBBI STATE
Of all the 36, I find Kebbi particularly interesting and controversial at the same time. According to the Kebbi Chronicles, the state was founded as a kingdom in 600 BCE by refugees escaping from the Assyrian Empire after its conquest by forces from Babylon and Medes. But that is not all o, in the Chronicles, Mesopotamian kings were listed out as the earliest ancestral kings of Kebbi. It was also deduced that Kebbi (Kabawa) was derived from the Holy Ka’aba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. You really need to read up the scholarly and extremely detailed work of Dierk Lange to get the full gist (see reference on website).
