Anthony Joshua visits Nigeria for the 1st time in many years.

 Anthony Joshua was spotted at Lagos airport as he pays a visit to Nigeria after many years away from his ancestral home.

Joshua's sister, Janet then took to her Instagram account to appreciate the home coming of her beloved brother. "Welcome home my dear brother." she adds a love emoji and a Nigeria flag. 

"May the lord almighty uphold you. Strengthen you and be with you. 

The 28-year-old who lost all three belts to Mexican-born American underdog, Andy Ruiz in June, is yet to announce his 
rematch date but the fight is expected to happen in November later in the year. 
Joshua's perfect 22-match unbeaten record was dented by Ruiz who knocked him down a couple of times before the referee 
stopped the fight in round seven. 
The Nigerian-born British boxer has promised to come back stronger in the rematch after activating the clause 

in their contract. 

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Anthony Oluwafemi Joshua, a British-Nigerian professional boxer, has melted the hearts of many Nigerians in a cute video recently released on social media. The boxer was seen trying hard to recite the Nigerian national anthem. The 29-year-old boxer, who was born and raised
 in the United Kingdom, is known for always trying to connect to his Nigerian roots.

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA SHAPES OUR IDENTITY

Last  year christmas, i had a strange dream. My father and i went to the market in reminiscent of   bus drivers and troublesome conductors, as thousands of   thousands of   people flood the market, we went to the fishmonger to buy native chicken( ‘Okuko’ in igbo language). The fowls crowded, slimy, around our legs, and I knew (in the way that one knows in a dream) that they thought, as they ate from the ground, that they were going to be killed—that they had to experience death before entering adulthood. The next day, I told my father about the dream. He revealed that, when I was three, when we were living in Ajegunle( A neighbourhood located in the heart of lagos ),   he took me to see a truckful of poultry being pumped into an artificial house. I was too young to remember this. But somewhere in my mind the vision of chickens being butchered and spewed into less breathing had lodged itself, resurfacing more than 10 years later. These days, it’s common to...

What Does 'FWM' Mean?

What Does 'FWM' Mean? It's certainly not the most polite acronym to use online or in a text FWM stands for: F*** With Me. Those asterisks can be filled in with the remaining letters required to spell out the F-word. You were warned! The Meaning of FWM You may see FWM used in comments on social media or you may see it in a text message. To make this acronym a little more user-friendly and a lot less vulgar, you can try replacing that F-bomb with the words "talk" or "get." So when someone says FWM, what they really mean is "talk with me" or "get with me." In some cases, FWM can have more of a negative interpretation than a positive or neutral one. For instance, it can be synonymous with the phrase "mess with me." How FWM Is Used People tend to use FWM to describe their relationships and interactions with friends, romantic...
