5 Things I’ve Done Since COVID-19 Came to Nigeria
While I’d like to vehemently deny any refutations on my predicted productivity levels this period, I do agree that it’s not possible to completely transform from a generally hard-to-get-the-ball-rolling individual to some productivity queen. Yet, I’d like to have some faith in myself.
The Nigerian Blogosphere is Dying, and Nobody Cares?
This is just a short post to show concern for what I would term the death of the Nigerian blogosphere. I’ll throw it back first of all to my earlier days of blogging. I joined the Nigerian blogosphere at its peak, I believe. Not so much about blogs like Linda Ikeji etc., but more about …
6 Things That Happened to Me Since My Last Post

I entered university in 2016, starting my law degree. Now that I’m in my final semester, It feels so surreal. It …

I Attended My First Ever Vision Board Party – Here’s What Went Down
Vision Board parties are the new in thing. I’ve heard of vision boards, but didn’t know there could be something like a vision board party, nor have I ever attended one. When The Blogger’s Advocate announced they’d be hosting one, I initially didn’t think I would attend. I mean, I was (and still am) on …
