These past months of moving through grief have led me through paths I didn’t envisage. It has reminded me that navigating grief is never a neat or linear experience. It’s been one of fighting to stay whole, seeking meaning, and being saved by community, only to almost lose myself and break my pact to grieve in a ‘healthy’ way. I …
2023 was a year for Afrobeats. The genre brought more excitement to the music scene and consolidated its worldwide impact, while mainstream acts sort of did their usual stuff.

Overnight the feeling of togetherness and hope young Nigerians relished for two weeks turned into sorrow and despair. Tuesday, October 20, 2020 (now commonly referred to as Dark Tuesday or …
Several persons have in the past asked me for tips on how to save, so I thought I’ll make a post on it. I may not be a financial guru or investment banker, but I think I know one or two things about saving. Things I learnt on my own or from others or from reading online posts on personal …
