Here's my welcome podcast highlighting the big directional moves in my home country over the last year 2024 and my hope for an urgent redirection in 2025.

it's interesting how users of Twitter differ in their perspectives from those on Instagram. it's almost a cup half empty vs cup half full mentality all the damn time. Does nothing good ever happen for those on twitter and does nothing bad ever happen to those on Instagram? Or is it just you

Why its hard to make new friends with other Nigerians in the UK plus my argument for the Death Penalty for murderers, kidnappers and corrupt politicians in Nigeria.

This is me reflecting on my most miserable birthday ever and why is important to celebrate the bad times as much as we do the good ones.

Are you allowed to reject an apology, especially if you're a Christian or religious person? Is true forgiveness conditional on receiving a perfect apology? And if you had already forgiven the person without any apology as a good Christian, is it okay to tell them that their apology was not satisfactory?

This is my impassioned take on Glow's tweet asking us to break from trauma by healing ourselves and letting bad memories go and why I demand that people should be allowed to hold on to the pain for as long as they need to.

Monday motivation: It takes the same amount of time to be sad or to try again. Always choose to try again.

This is my tribute to every Nigerian that has come out to fight for a better future by asking for an end to wastefulness and bad governance. To each soul lost in this struggle. To each eye swollen from teargas. Each and every one of you are my heroes. We remain indebted to you forever.

Today's topic reflects my thoughts on holding space and giving grace to those we hold dear who are no longer with us. It is not to say they were perfect, but that we will extend grace in their memory since we cannot get the full context of accusations against them.

Nigerians will forgive anything but a hypocrite and this weekend’s dragging of a specific well known personality that fell off his own pedestal, is evidence of that.

This annual argument about who deserves father's day greeting is now played out and we need to put it to rest.

Following from the recent video of Diddy beating Cassie to a pulp as she tried to run away in 2016, these are my thoughts on what Africans consider love when it is actually abuse.

Using two instances from Twitter, this is why I vehemently challenge the Nigerian concept of "wisdom" that encouraged dishonesty and abuse of power for personal gain.

This podcast lays out the intellectual issues arising from the icon that Idris has become. A single person out of 300 million citizens that ignites conversations on morality, ethics, sexuality, criminal law and freedom of expression. And all he did was put on make up.

This is about the worst flu I have ever battled, which is still ongoing as spring arrives here in the UK, a quick rave on the gestures for the Honor Pad 9, and the anti-Igbo bigotry holding sway in Yoruba Internet community.

My take on the key headlines of the day.

When whatever you do stops being fun, people either settle for the life they have or insist on pursuing the life they always wanted no matter how far off the track they have gone.

Spent all night composing my very own podcast intros. Use headphones. Don’t hate the player. Record labels need to sign me before I become too expensive.

How is there no outrage for the children that have been kidnapped this past week? Are Nigerians now numb to trauma as a coping mechanism? So we think everything is politics? Have we lost our humanity?

Discussing your real worth and extracting value from the worth you ignore.

This is my review of the new Usher era. His branding, his new album and THAT Superbowl performance. The Nigerian groove elevated this new album and RUIN is my absolute favourite.

This is a tongue in cheek overview of Nigerians and the kind of annoying questions they ask their friends during gists. And a warning to my friends to desist from trying it with me going forward.

Here are 5 reasons why you can't see your New Year Resolutions through.

This episode is dedicated to those who cannot find the festive spirit this Christmas. You are normal. You are loved. It will get better. Merry Different Kind of Christmas to you.

This is me comparing Christmas over the years and across Nigeria versus UK then delving into the key question of whether you can consider your work colleagues as your friends.
