For the most part, Ghana and Nigeria share a peaceful relationship. Nigeria exports its banging afrobeats, Ghana washes it down with its infinitely easy on the ears highlife. We ping and pong between both locations for December rocks and chummily refer to each other as ‘chale’ and ‘oga’ from across the border. It’s all love […]

It is time to take the ultimate test and shame the haters. What kind of foodie are you really?

It’s a new week and Monday, perpetual bad vibes giver and our constant reminder of how short the weekend is, is back on his BS. As usual. Men. Now, even though we’ve called him out in the last, like most Yoruba men, Monday has refused to act right, and for that reason, we will be […]

These were […]

For reasons best known to me (I’m bored, wistful and stir crazy, stuck at home with two sexagenarians), I have been dutifully spending a large percentage (I can’t say how large, this is a work post) of my day, researching the first few abroads I plan on living in when this whole ordeal is over. […]

Sure, you can’t breathe with face masks on, and it’s a pain fighting the urge to yank them off every five minutes, but a lot of people are really going through it with this face mask requirement. Because we know you don’t think about only yourself, we made a list of people, whose respective drips […]

It seems like only yesterday, you could pick up a full-length novel by morning, going halfway through it come sundown. Your nose was always pressed into a new, exciting paragraph, and your favourite position was sideways, a hardback pressed into the nook of your arm. Only, it wasn’t yesterday. You can barely remember the last […]

If there’s anything we should rack this virus over, it is seriously cramping our buka eating culture. No longer are we free to eat and sweat in close proximity with the next guy as his splash from battling his shaki gets on our shirt. No more are we spoilt for choice, looking at the show […]

Even though going out now appears to be an extreme sport, there was a time where you could hurry on off to the gym, salon, park, wherever, without paying much mind to it. Now during those times, we can guarantee that while out in public, you 100% did at least one of these things, hoping […]

It takes a lot to be an adult, it takes even more to be an adult in Nigeria. Which is why for the life of me, I cannot understand how this adulting business was sold to us like some fantasy we actually should have been excited to engage in. If we’re not paying bills, we’re […]

On day 847? of my now self-imposed lock down, while my clothes are charging up for the inevitable post-rona rocks and my body is getting the rest it deserves, my hair is wallowing in a state I like to describe as – I prefer not to speak. From wash days every week, to discovering my […]

To convict Orji Uzor Kalu — former Abia State Governor, Senator and chief whip of the senate — of a ₦7.7 billion fraud allegation, the trial courts engaged in proceedings so elongated, a child born at its inception would have been gearing up for senior secondary school upon its end.  With the Supreme Court decision […]

If all my many years of watching overly dramatic spy-thrillers has taught me anything, it’s that Russia, its spies and its president are 100% not to be messed with.  I thought everyone that journeyed to Moscow in 2018 had serious mind,and I still can’t watch Vladimir Putin on the news without avoiding eye contact. I’m […]

Because it’s like you need someone to show you what a bad, terrible idea falling in love is, we decided to […]

As lockdown restrictions have begun to ease across Nigeria, we’re seeing a return to the world of almost confidently ordering amala and ewedu from our favourite bukas and (hopefully) socially distancing when we do go into them.
