It is big big 2021, where cars are powered by electricity. Yet, so many things are still the way they’ve always. We know somethings are due for an update, whether man-made or God made update. Here’s a list of things that we’ve had enough of:
1. Pregnancy
To be honest, it’s about time babies start growing in labs or stuff like that. The idea of pregnancy is so old school and outdated. If humans are so important, there should be an easier, mor practical way to bring about our existence.
2. Working for money.
As big as money is, it can’t grow on trees by itself? We should be able to pluck money from trees by now. The concept of work is very flawed and outdated.
3. Cooking
Food should be downloadable by now. We should no longer be stressed out by cooking or thinking of what to eat.
4. Periods
Periods are so dramatic and painful. 3-5 days of suffering because a woman didn’t get pregnant?. Peak dramatic. Periods need to be abolished.
5. Blue balls
I can only speak on what I’ve heard. But having super painful balls because a guy couldn’t bust a nut is also very unnecessary.
6. Bonus point; Nigeria
God abeg.

It is normal for humans to get less tolerant of certain things the older they get. You tend to start paying attention to certain things and get more annoyed by them. Here’s a list of things that get more annoying the older you get:
1. Unnecessary Noise.

Why is the neighbour already shouting by 8 am in the morning?. It honestly makes no sense. The older we get, the more peace and quiet we want in our lives. Easy, please.
2. Lies and Liars.
Hmm, Yoruba men are about to leave the chat. No one is going to beat you if you tell the truth. Lies are not only annoying, but they are also very disrespectful. No adult has time to deal with incessant liars. If you really need to lie, please talk to a wall. T for Tenks
3. Tasteless food.
Tasteless food is annoying, whether you are old or young, but tasteless food bought with your last cash is the most annoying. Buying food with your last cash and not enjoying it is enough to ruin your day.
4. Slow and lazy people.
Be fast please, no one has time to waste.
5. Persistent phone calls
Instant messaging exist for a purpose; if you’ve called more than once and the person has not picked up, just send a text. Persistent phone calls are only acceptable if you want to dash us money.
6. Kids
Children are so annoying, especially the ones who don’t come with a return policy. Yeah, they are cute sometimes- when they are not asking you one million annoying questions. “Aunty Joke, how do you know my dad?”
7. Work
It’s 2021, money should have started growing on trees by now. The concept of work is so annoying and unnecessary. Can’t we just sleep and wait till the money comes to meet us?
8. Living with your parents
Living with your Nigerian parents would test your patience in more ways than you can imagine. Even when you know you love them very much, you’ll still be annoyed with them 24/7.

If you’re an adult then you’ll relate to one or more of these adulting problems we all face:
1) Deciding on what to eat.
Rice, bread, rice, bread – Rinse and repeat. I can’t decide on what to eat for more than three days before I start to repeat food.
2) Deciding on what to wear.
Especially on a first date. Or when they say “work casual.”
3) Knowing how to ask for a raise at work.
No manual for this one oh.
4) Learning to say NO to black tax.
If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know.
5) Time management.
Help! The weekend is never enough and the week days are too long.
6) Making friends after university.
Friendships after a certain age just doesn’t slap like before. In many cases, it feels guarded.
7) Dealing with impostor syndrome.
Generally just learning that everyone is faking it until they make it. It’s just that everyone seems so well put together.
8) Deciding to switch place of worship.
Good luck explaining to your parents why you want to switch from their church or even religion.
