He didn’t have to spray Naira notes, there were no thugs punching each other to get close to his window and receive bundles of Naira. As a journalist, these are things I’ve seen severally and hoped one day they will change. This gladdens my heart.

She killed it. Nothing else to add, and I know this cos I went through it. My relationship went through Covid and unemployment. We both hit rock bottom at some point. And I think that was when we both knew, this was it.

Freedom of the press is not negotiable. We had no intention of drawing attention to the toll, on the contrary, we were reporting the calm situation of things. I believe this was a misunderstanding, but all is well. The cameras must keep rolling.

Police chased fleeing demonstrators, beat one of them, then blocked journalists & told them to stop recording - they kept rolling.

My dear. For the longest time I have said marriage is not for everyone. And honestly, not getting married doesn’t make one (make it female) a failure or less a person than those who got married. I salute your courage for saying this, especially in this part of the world.
The recent APC primaries in Edo state highlighted how vulnerable journalists are in our region.
Some of us were brutal beaten, equipment damaged, and some stolen.

If you have people living in Nigeria, especially Lagos, please ask them about their mental health. These are trying times 😔. It feels like the country is about to end.
I have this sister who lives alone and is asthmatic. Sometimes she has issues getting to the hospital, so she calls her friends. She recently discovered that her click of friends now have inhalers in their cars and apartments because of her.

To say the least, this president seems to be disappointing several people who sang his praises when he got into power, considering the circumstances surrounding his victory.
But then again, it’s not the first time we’ve heard stories like these in Africa.
Dear gentleman. Do note that there is nothing nice about keeping your fingernails long. Regardless of how neat they they may be, it’s a no no. And besides, you just might hurt others who try to shake hands and snap fingers with you. I’ll be checking nails before I shake hands now
I ❤️ art 🥰 period. And this exhibition by Minika art; EKOMO, fusing African music with painting on live models, was amazing.
We could scan the barcode by the pieces to listen to what the instruments in the paintings sound like.

This just made my skin crawl. It’s not like these guys don’t have their own issues with governance. But again this is what you get when every other country thinks they know what’s best for Africa. And African leaders go for African summits in every other country outside Africa.
