I've learnt, over the years, the necessity of being able to have difficult conversations about anything. To sit with the discomfort of a fringe thought, or look past instinctual disgust. Here's my recipe on how to have a difficult conversation successfully.

Men are struggling. The boys are going through it, and most don't know what to do except seek relief through a woman's body. But honestly, bro? That isn't gonna solve the problem.

This episode talks about the isolatory framing of men's struggles in society and the false solution that burdens women.

Relationships (and by conclusion, marriage) are a staple of our society. But lately, we ask ourselves why it's a thing and why we should want it. Here's a romantic perspective on why people desire to be in relationships and hence, why they get married. Enjoy.

[About The Episode]

We constantly hear many Christian believers describe their faith and devotion as a relationship with God devoid of transactions. But I beg to differ. I think transactions are at the very foundation of every relationship, and "faith" isn't exempt. This episode discusses transactional Christianity and why people might not be attending church as much anymore in Nigeria.

[About The Episode]

Christianity is the largest religion in the world, boasting billions in numbers. Chances are you've interacted with a Christian and came out of it smiling or fuming (50/50). This episode talks about the fuming part. Why are Christians constantly accused of lacking empathy and kindness, even though they say those are their MO?
