Queen Raffy's Space

Wahala by Niki May is a book i went into Wahala by Niki May with no expectations. I was simply drawn to the cover and the title. After reading it, I can confidently say... na truly wahala! The story is packed with friendship, betrayal, adultery, revenge, power plays, and plenty of drama. One thing that stood out to me was how much of the chaos could have been avoided if people had simply been hone...

For the 49th episode of Bants With , I spoke with Andrew Ovo Ekpiwhre aka DrewBaba , founder of Drew Marketing Innovations (DMI) , a talent management and marketing agency specialising in deal negotiation, brand development, and campaign strategy. We explore the business side of content creation, what it takes to build successful brand partnerships, and why talent management is much more than just...

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in moments when life felt like a test I didn’t study for. In this reflection, I sit with the reality that being tested is part of the human journey. Fear. Loss. Uncertainty. Waiting. These seasons can make us feel forgotten, but this verse reminds me that tests are not abando...

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in seasons where I needed reassurance more than answers. In this reflection, I sit with the promise that difficulty is never the end of the story. When things feel heavy, when clarity feels far away, this verse reminds me that ease is not separate from hardship; it exists alo...

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in moments when I needed to shift my perspective. In this reflection, I sit with gratitude. Not the loud kind that only shows up when everything is perfect, but the quiet, steady gratitude that exists even in waiting, even in uncertainty. This verse reminds me that gratitude...

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in seasons where I had to confront worry, uncertainty, and the fear of not having enough. In this reflection, I sit with Allah as Ar-Razzaq — The Provider. Provision is not only wealth. It is timing. It is peace. It is protection. It is doors opening in ways we did not plan....

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in moments when I needed mercy more than anything else. In this reflection, I sit with repentance. With returning. With the truth that no matter how far we feel, Allah’s mercy is always closer. There is no mistake too big, no season too messy, no distance too wide. We are inv...

This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’ll be sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me, strengthened me, and reminded me of Allah in moments when I needed it most. In this first reflection, I sit with the comfort and accountability of knowing that Allah sees us — in our effort, in our quiet struggles, and even in the parts of our lives no one else witnesses. A gentle re...

On this episode of Random Musings , I reflect on the importance of standing for something, having values, knowing what you believe in, and being rooted in them. I talk about taking the year to intentionally discover the values you hold dear, the ones you are not easily moved from, and how those values quietly shape your choices, boundaries, and sense of self. This is a gentle invitation to pause,...

For the 48th episode of Bants With , I spoke with Bridget Ibuchim-Owabie, founder of Biobranding Academy, to talk about women, visibility, and career growth. We explore why so many talented women remain unnoticed, why participating online can seem challenging, and what personal branding truly should be without the pressure. Bridget shares practical insights on building professional authority, posi...

2025 was a year of highs and bumps, of romanticising life and learning from the stumbles, but one thing is certain: it was unforgettable. I discovered a little more about myself and started staying grounded in my ways and the work I love. For the podcast, we published 51 episodes, crossed 100k listens, and through it all, YOU were here, standing by and supporting every step. I am deeply grateful....

There’s been a lot of conversation online about insecurity in Nigeria, with some people framing it as a Christian genocide or a Muslims-versus-Christians issue. While there’s no denying that insecurity is completely out of control, I don’t think it’s honest to reduce something this complex to a religious war. On this episode of random musings, I talk about why, as a Muslim, I refuse to carry shame...

On this episode of r andom musings , I talk about the Danish deception story that was all over TikTok. I kept seeing people confidently say things like, “I could never be scammed” or “that would never happen to me,” and it got me thinking. The truth is, scams are not one-size-fits-all. Just because one type wouldn’t work on you doesn’t mean another one couldn’t. And most importantly, shaming victi...

Another round trip around the sun has been completed, and my favourite day of the year is finally here. #Year32 was a season of unlearning, shedding, breaking old patterns, and quietly rebuilding myself from the inside out. It pushed me to release identities that no longer fit and return to the One who has always carried me — the Creator who writes the script long before I step into the scene. #Ye...

Adulting can feel overwhelming sometimes, but lately I’ve been reflecting on the little joys that come with it, too. In this episode of Random Musings , I share some of the upsides I’ve noticed, such as the communities we get to build, the autonomy to make our own choices, and the freedom to spend our money the way we want. What about you? Have you discovered any good sides to adulting? I’d love t...

In this episode of Random Musings, I discuss how harsh people can be towards oversharers and why that judgment often overlooks the bigger picture. If you’ve ever shared a little too much and then felt regret afterwards, this one is for you. I share practical tips to help oversharers protect themselves, set healthy boundaries, and express openly without carrying the weight of embarrassment later.

In this episode of random musings, I go on a bit of a rant about negativity because some people seem hooked on it. Everything they see, they twist into something bad. That is not a healthy way to live. I share why staying stuck in that mindset does more harm than good and why it is so important to flip the script, shift your perspective, and choose a better way to see life.

Appreciate your tribe...

Not So Terrible People by Nana Sule is a book that blends everyday human struggles with the mystical. I loved how she crafted celestial creatures like the devil and jinns with such human-like features, making the stories feel both familiar and otherworldly at the same time. Do listen to my thoughts on it and why I think you should read it, too. Grab your copy here 👉🏾 https://masobebooks.com/ng/b...

Life is for the living...

Nobody is an overnight success...

June was a lot , and in true Random Musings fashion, I’m here to talk all about it. From starting a brand new role as a Customer Success Manager (oh yes, Raffy is a woman in tech now 👩🏾‍💻), to attending a podcast narrative storytelling workshop by Culture Custodian that filled me with new creative energy, June had me spinning, in the best way possible. But that’s not all. I also got the honour...
