Before You Soro Soke!
It was sunset. The time when reptiles leave their homes in search of prey as farmers return home to rest. They just came home a few minutes ago and so, to behold Mama Obinayo standing over her son, arms raised bearing a cutlass dripping blood as he wailed till he eventually passed out, is indeed […]
Detty December? Cancelled!
It looks like it’s gonna be a clean December! ‘Any which way’, we’re glad that the year finally ends in a few days. What a relief! I know, right? But is it just us or this year literally felt like a decade? It actually feels good to know that businesses got to open and at […]
Chill With the ‘Geng’ in 2021
I hate to be the one to say this but we’re currently in a recession. (Sigh) The fact that we haven’t even recovered from COVID-19, the lootings and the recent hike in fuel price just leaves me wondering what could happen next. But we move! However, what this means for businesses is that with heightened […]
Wetin Moremi no go see for Professor N’Dyare hand?
Anyways, now that I have your attention, let’s talk about something equally important. I visited a friend that used to have steady ‘light’ but my expectations were cut short. Before she told me what happened, I noticed that there were so many naked wires overlapping their gate. Tapping current from all the poles on the […]
I Still Haven’t Answered The Genie!
‘Before I became this person, I’m sure the Sterling genie had asked me countless times why I chose to camp with banks that didn’t seem to care about me but my money’. She had been ill for the longest time and all my savings and investments were geared towards sending her abroad for surgery because […]
Thank God It’s Friday But…
How cruel of me to ruin the weekend with some business advice on a day when you should be prepping for a getaway or the infamous TGIF turn-up. But please indulge me. I finally passed through the Lekki toll for the first time since the event and as I sped past (a luxury which never […]
When Exploitation Isn’t Evil!
This year’s Agriculture Summit Africa was a classic example of ‘virtual at its finest’. At the brink of the Covid-19 pandemic, we realized that we would not be able to enjoy the company of illustrious agribusiness owners and enthusiasts like we did last year but we needed to have serious conversations around the carefully chosen […]
Something Just Happened Now
I was talking to Yinka one Tuesday morning and I told her that I had to leave early because the Third Mainland Bridge was partially closed for repairs and she asked me, ‘What’s that?’ So, I’ll start by apologizing to non-Lagosians for my assumption of knowledge of a shared phenomenon. For those of us outside […]
Abandon Caution
So you ignore the warnings, put your mask aside, shake hands and hug everyone you see and finally come home to carry crying junior, without washing your hands? Parenting instinct, abi? Hmm…it’s not your fault but COVID-19 does not understand that one. The numbers these past weeks are high up there and might increase because […]
How To Work From Home With Kids
For the first time in weeks, my house is quiet. I just have one kid but when the schools were shut down, I inherited three more because my friends were health workers and needed to social distance from their children. Who would have thought that a time like this will come? My wife and I […]
3 Types Of Businesses Post Covid
What if I told you that some businesses have bloomed as a result of the COVID-19? This is a truth that entrepreneurs need to embrace now in order to psyche themselves up for action. At first, it was almost impossible to admit this because of the pain that the pandemic brought with it but coming […]
Education For The Future
It was not strange that just at the announcement of the lockdown, a bulk of our attention was driven to how this pandemic could change the course of education forever.

Living Through COVID-19
Speculations are all over the internet as to how something in the African genes repels the operation of the virus in this part of the world.
