A little bit of Everything

We call it democracy: government of the people, by the people, for the people. But are we really practicing it, or something else with the same name? In this episode of A Little Bit Of Everything, I talk about supporters of the current president who came to our school to share ₦5,000, but only after you gave your NIN and thumbprint. I ask the question: are those people indirectly voting? I urge yo...

Nigerian frustration is at an all-time high, so can we all just behave ourselves and, please, not pour ours on me? In this episode of A Little Bit Of Everything, I take you through my week. There’s the shuttle driver who carried a lady past her stop because he didn’t want to stop his car, and the man who tapped me harshly on the back because we bumped into each other twice and he felt his age gave...

How do two people go from being roommates to knowing a little too much about each other? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my roommate and friend for the roommate tag. We talk about how we met, our first impressions of each other, how our friendship grew, and the things we’ve probably been too comfortable to admit. From complaining about each other to treating personal belongings like communi...

Some friendships start with a big moment. Mine started with a question and an honest answer. In this episode, I celebrate my friend Chidera Madabuchi on her birthday. I share how we met at UNEC, how being roommates turned us into real friends, and how she showed up to support me at one of my first big appearances without even knowing what was going on. I also talk about the exam-season phone call...

In this episode, I talked about finally being done with exams, celebrated some of the people signing out, and gave a special shout-out to Chisom, who is apparently capable of eating a whole pack of Indomie raw. Yes, RAW. I also showed appreciation to my chamber people and congratulated all of them that signed out, and also congratulated everyone who was inducted into the medical profession. To all...

In this episode, I talked about how my exams have been going, the people who have helped me get through them and the little things that have made this whole period easier. I took some time to appreciate my roommates, Kosi, Aunty Oge and Momcy, and gave a special shout-out to Elechukwu family for basically adopting me and making me feel like part of the family. I also had to appreciate Mumcy for th...

In the last two episodes, I said I was going to talk about giving your friends grace, apologising when you’re wrong and what it means to accept an apology. So… here we are. This episode is probably one of the more personal ones I’ve done because I had to sit down and acknowledge some friendships where I was wrong. I talked about friendship, betrayal, pride, miscommunication and the things that hap...

In this episode, we’re switching things up and getting into bro code because apparently, the boys have their own set of rules too and they asked for this. We talked about why dating your bro’s sister can quickly become a whole situation, why your bro’s ex is usually a no-go, but bro’s still don’t listen to this and why you shouldn’t pursue a girl your bro is already interested in or someone he int...

In this episode, we’re continuing the conversation on girl code, but this time, we’re talking about the ways we’re supposed to actually show up for each other. We started with the five-month wedding story because apparently someone can get married and decide to tell all her friends five months later at her birthday party. And yes, I had thoughts, cause I always do. I talked about looking out for y...

In this episode, I got into some of the girl codes I think we should actually take seriously from not dating, flirting with, or secretly entertaining your friend’s ex, to telling your friend when her man is cheating (with receipts, please). I also talked about keeping your friend’s secrets, not embarrassing her in public, avoiding unhealthy competition, not stealing your friend’s shine, and knowin...

This week, I had quite a lot to say. From the chaos that is Ogbete Market, to putting my girls on to some affordable hair plug, UBA and Kuda’s supposed beef, Airtel and Google doing their own thing, and why I will never shame anyone’s hustle. I also talked about punctuality, Nigerian politics, a 16-year-old final-year law student (yes, you read that right), and wished my amazing nail tech a happy...

First born daughters are often expected to be the example, the second mother, the responsible one and sometimes even the parent. But who takes care of the first born daughter? In this episode, I’m talking about sibling expectations, perfection, sacrifices, growing up too fast and learning that being the eldest doesn’t mean you have to carry everyone.

In this episode, I talked about my friend nicknaming my podcast `A Little Bit of ihe niile'. We then moved over to the fact that my friend and amazing nail tech decided it was best to send me a car that can be equated to the front of a tricycle after my cry for a car last week. I also went on a little rant about Skynet Transportation, their terrible customer service and the complete lack of accoun...

This week, I talked about public transport and the very uncomfortable experience that had me thinking, “Apparently, I need a car.” The funny part? I don’t even know how to drive.😂 I also talked about groundnuts, dusty keke rides and how the little things we do can show what we actually care about and choose to prioritise. And, of course, friendship. Because if you want a friendship to last, you h...

No deep history lessons this week. It’s just me catching you up on life the only way I know how, by jumping from one story to another. From celebrating my friend who just became a radiographer to explaining how a stranger unknowingly started our friendship, to my Twinny emptying my wallet during her stay in Enugu, this episode goes everywhere. We also talk about the rude customer service, encounte...

If you attended a Nigerian boarding school, this episode is going to unlock memories you didn’t even know you still had. Joining me today is my “twin,” Empress, as we relive our boarding school days from our very first day in school, unforgettable punishments, strict teachers, terrible food, hostel life, hilarious lies, and the friendships that made it all worth it. We also play a fun game of “Who...

What happened after African countries gained independence? Did colonialism really end, or did it simply change its face? In this episode, we explore the rise of neocolonialism and how powerful foreign nations continued to influence African politics long after the colonial flags came down. We examine the wave of assassinations and military coups that reshaped the continent, including the deaths and...

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. That African proverb serves as the backdrop for one of the greatest political debates in African history. In this episode of A Little Bit of Everything, we continue our exploration of Pan-Africanism by examining what happened after Ghana gained independence in 1957. We follow Kwame Nkrumah’s unwavering vision for a united Africa...

What exactly is Pan-Africanism, and why does it remain one of the most important ideas in African history? In this episode of A Little Bit of Everything, I begin with a simple story about three brothers and a bundle of broomsticks , a lesson on why unity is always stronger than division. From there, we explore the philosophy of Pan-Africanism, tracing its origins from the early Pan-African Congres...

This week had a little bit of everything. I talk about my roommate, who’s still stuck in school because her exams aren’t even over yet and to make matters worse, she doesn’t even have a date for one of them yet. Then I share my experience watching Call of My Life, where my friend and I practically had the entire cinema to ourselves. The fun didn’t stop there. We surprised my friend’s mum with a ca...

Your 20s are supposed to be exciting, but nobody talks enough about how confusing, humbling, and life-changing they can be. In this episode, I share some of the biggest lessons and realities I've noticed about being in your 20s , from questioning everything you've been taught, dealing with pressure from family, friends, and social media, learning to think for yourself, building meaningful friendsh...

In this second part of our Contract Law series, I start by breaking down one question many people get wrong: what exactly is the difference between a tort and a contract? From there, I dive into the essentials of a valid contract, explaining the key ingredients that must be present before an agreement can become legally enforceable. We explore offer and acceptance, consideration, intention to crea...

In this episode, we break down one of the most important concepts in law: Contracts. What exactly is the contract? Is every agreement legally binding? What is the difference between a promise and a contract? And why does your signature carry so much weight? Using simple examples, I discussed the meaning of a contract, characteristics of a contract, why contracts are legally binding and freedom of...

Welcome to the girls’ emergency meeting . In this episode, we’re having an honest girls’ talk about the little things nobody really teaches us about womanhood, feminine hygiene, period care and self-care. From pads, tampons and menstrual cups to shaving before your period, peeing after sex, cotton underwear, skincare breaks, breast checks, period cramps, heating pads, vaginal/vulva care and the ti...

This episode is basically me minding everybody’s business. But seriously, I spent this one shouting out amazing girls and their businesses because being a girl’s girl is not just motivational quotes on Instagram support your people. Whether it’s clothes, food, beauty, accessories, or random cute things you absolutely don’t need but somehow still need, this episode is my little way of saying, pleas...
