"What elders see sitting, a young person will never see even if they climb a tree. Lol... Wahala "I'm not sure this is how they say it, but, I have always had a problem with this statement for the longest time... Lol... On this episode, Victor Oba and I speak on Generational Shift; he shares some personal experiences and how he has been able to navigate through the process even without so much support in the beginning.

Hey family members, what's happening? Although I have been trying to avoid love talks and all that, on this episode I definitely talked about it, lol. Here are a few things I talked about: Loving but making your well-being a priority. Someone said, love conquers, wawu, but okay; A man who fell in love with me at first sight and thinks that's enough to make me love him too... Lmao; The relationship between sexual energy and creativity... Oh yes; and finally my fear of going through my twenties and not experiencing the fullness of it, abstaining from sex, hence, not enjoying the wholesomeness of it.

Okay guys, today I had a swell time with Desmond... This boy is a fellow I don't joke with as you all must have noticed... *Rolls eyes* LoL...

The word "feminism" is fast becoming another way to say "I hate men." Hardly can we say or type anything on social media without it turning into a gender war. Unfortunate, right? Okay so on this episode of TWB we'll be discussing Feminism as opposed to Misandry. We need people to get this right. I mean it's tiring. You need to know the difference between feminists and misandrists, so you can stop using the word "feminists" loosely. I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode. T for Tenks

Over the years, sex and rape has remained taboo discourses but in recent times people have become more comfortable and open about rape... However, the prevalence of rape in Nigeria and the response is the premise for my conclusion the fact that, We indeed have a rape culture. Rape in its simplest form is not just an urgent, unexpected sexual desire that needs to be satisfied. Instead, it is the violent expression of power against another. Rape is primarily about power and its abuse. Within the Nigerian context, it is the punishment for wishing to be independent, for daring to threaten the status quo, the societal power dynamics. It is not about modesty neither is it about what the victim wore or her behaviour because as we all know, modestly dressed women are raped all the time. On this episode of the podcast, Daniel Adaaja, our guest, will be shedding more light on the prevalence of rape in Nigeria and what can be done going forward...

I describe myself as one who has very strong opinions about a lot of things. I am quite opinionated and sometimes I struggle with airing my view without it pricking some people. As much as I am passionate about a lot of things, vocal and expressive, sometimes it doesn't sit well with people. I have an energetic voice and it's hard to tell if I'm just being blunt or bitter... Lol. Okay... Now this brought me to a point where I had to ask myself am I blunt or just plain rude... I answered honestly, and I am blunt when I air my opinions about things but sometimes rude and mean. So, yeah, I'm empathetic but when in disagreements, sometimes I lose it. So guysssss, on this episode of TWB, I made an attempt to thicken the line between bluntness and rudness; after a long and very objective research of course... I hope you enjoy every bit of it.

When I hear people say "Your Colleagues are not your friends." "Just do your job." It made me wonder if being friends with my colleagues was a taboo. Lol. On this episode of The Adulting Diary-, Bukola Balogun speaks on relationships in the workplace, whether or not it is beneficial and if it is indeed healthy. Bukola is a friend, an OAP, radio Producer and a moderator. This episode of the podcast has no intention to offer unsolicited advice on how to relate at work, it is really not a template for your work life, no not at all. But then again, I'm certain you will take something home. Cheers!!!
