This Nigerian Life.

Boundaries are important people! Some things that are better kept to yourself; like unsolicited comments or advice about a person’s body. In this episode, Jola and I discuss our experience with body shaming and the unhealthy obsession with women’s bodies.

Rape and other forms of violence against women and girls have been a hot topic for weeks now, with many women speaking up demanding justice. As much as we hear these reports, countless cases still go unreported. Those that do get reported are subjected to hate and different tactics to keep them silent. But #WeAreTired and we will not be silent! In this episode, I talk about being an ally and advocate. Do you or someone you know need help? Or do you want to be a volunteer?

We’ve been on lockdown for 4 weeks ( 7 for me, because my office closed before everyone else) and normal human interactions have been re-created. Some are lucky to have their partner with them- others not so much. People have found creative ways to connect , spending time on dating apps, drinking wine on zoom dates, etc. Some were brave enough (or foolish) to “shack up” with a stranger for the period, others are looking for a good match for various reasons. I talk about my experience using two popular dating apps during this Covid-19 period and if they’re worth it. Have you ever used a dating app, or tried any other form of online dating?

It’s 26th March 2020 and most Nigerians don't know the whereabouts of their President; but that’s not new. What's new is that we have been forced to sit at home and think about what is important in our lives. "Normal" has changed and is still changing along with the rest of the world. In this episode, I talk about how I'm coping with the Covid-19 situation, working from home, living alone and making the best of things, staying calm and trying not to lose my senses. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Remember to wash your hands with soap and water, don't spread fake news and connect with the right sources for information on Covid-19. How have you been coping? Send me a voice note on the Anchor App, or connect with me through any of the channels below: Email: [email protected]

Every year in the month of March, the world celebrates the achievements of women. Also called Women’s History Month in the US. It’s a period to reflect and celebrate women who paved the way, those who have gone before us and those present. This episode talks about the history of Women’s Month, International Women’s Day & remarkable Nigerian Women.

Single men face pressure too; it's just not quite the same as women. Akinjide and I discuss the differences, his broken first engagement, eventual marriage and lessons learned. Connect with me via any of the channels below: Email: [email protected]

As the Naija saying goes, “na single we single, we no kill person”. Jola and I discuss one of Nigeria's favourite past times: policing single people. Opinions expressed here are ours; please don't tight the world to your chest (if you don't know what that means, find a Nigerian to explain to you). This episode focuses on women. Stay till the end of the episode to hear a special message from me :)
