    Z! Daily – My siblings didn’t know about my japa plans

    In today’s newsletter, Tife is worried about how much light she’s getting, cartoon intros take us back to the good ol’ days and we talk about how BBNaija gave us a classic case of “What I ordered vs What I got”.

    Also: What’s friendship without trust?

    17 September,

    Hey, you. I think these NEPA/PHCN guys are really scared of my lawsuit threat. Since they fixed my light, they’ve been bringing and taking it a suspiciously high number of times.

    Not that I’m complaining o, but since I started writing this letter, they’ve brought the light like five times. I’m not even kidding. Guys, I know you’re working. Relax, it’s enough.

    The Inside Gist-ish: What’s Friendship Without Trust?


    Halimat* and Aisha* (both 21) live in the same estate, are from the same state and once shared the same interests. So they were bound to be friends. But after four years, distance strained the relationship, and an act of mistrust caused it to end.

    What changed?

    The first problem was I’d become a lot more lax with Islam. I stopped covering my hair and was very vocal about never doing that again. She, on the other hand, was still very modest. We still had the same interests, so I could let some of her comments about me not covering my hair slide.

    But then, she told my mum about something I trusted her with, and it all went downhill from there.

    Even my siblings didn’t know about my japa plans

    This story took every Nigerian’s unwritten agreement to be careful of village people to a whole other level. I can’t imagine my siblings not knowing I’m trying to leave the country. Why did she do it?

    The fact that I shamelessly belted out the intro themes to these cartoons reinforces my belief that adulting is definitely not for me.

    What I ordered vs what I got: BBNaija edition

    Make me understand how Sheggz said he’d never be caught fighting, but oga has fought with everyone in the house. I also thought he’d have sense because he’s fine, but alas.
