What A Joke

Has male celebration been gate kept? In this subliminally matriarchal world we live in, everyday is a holiday for men and women to celebrate women. Am I complaining? No, Women are top two genders in the world... but where does that leave men? Chasing after scrap holidays like Boyfriend day, that's what. Pfft, what a joke PS, if you want my account details, join the WhatsApp community at;

And to take it a step further, she was the wife of the first governor general as well. On last week's episode, we looked at the interesting, albeit partly unfortunate life of her Lord, Lugard. Conquering nations be...

Happy almost independence day! Nigeria, my home country, is a nation with a rich history, dating far back to before it was even named. One non-native man who's a huge part of that history is the first governor-general of the land, Lord Frederick Lugard... Junior. And I just found out that Nigeria maybe kinda sorta exists because he got his heart broken. What a Joke. Eat ice cream or put on some sa...

Bayo: Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most badass author of them all? That would be Agatha Christie, of course. A woman who's head, shoulders, knees and toes above the rest.

For example, if it was up to her mother, Agatha would have remained an illiterate for a looong...

To the ones who keep me coming back each week. The English student who listens to relax on Tuesdays at midnight. The software engineer who listens and cracks up at work. The people who binged every episode in less than a day. The Commuters who plug in while stuck in traffic. That’s a very weird mix and there’s still more in the episode I suppose. I love my fans. I love you people. It isn’t valenti...
