Lol, there is something almost ridiculous about what Bae U has built with Curiosity Made Me Ask. Think about it.
This is a man whose entire format is basically "Come and sit down so I can disrespect you for entertainment."
And somehow, people keep coming. I'm not talking of just random celebrities. Joke Silva, Jide Kosoko, Yemi Solade, Frank Edoho, Kate Henshaw, Pete Edochie and now Olusegun Obasanjo.
A former President of Nigeria sitting down to be roasted by Bae U is the kind of thing that would sound like a joke if you described it 10 years ago.
Bae U has created a space where status has to leave its shoes at the door. Everybody comes in as a guest, gets roasted, roasts back, laughs and somehow, the ridiculousness is exactly what makes people want to watch. Like they never expected such a celebrity to be this way.
I may not agree with everything about the man or his lifestyle, but I have to give credit where it is due.
The guy saw a very simple idea and kept pushing it until people who you would normally expect to sit in a serious studio for a serious interview started coming to sit on his couch to be unserious. That is some serious work.
Bae U, collect your flowers. 🌹
My dog has been roaming freely around our compound for almost 8 years. To him, that space is his natural home. Anytime we put him in his cage, which is honestly big enough to be rented out for 700k Naira in today’s Lagos, he barks non-stop until he is released. He is used to freedom, and the moment you try to take it away, he resists.
I’ve come to realize that a lot of things in Nigeria are the way they are because many of us don't know any better. We’ve accepted dysfunction as normal. No constant electricity? That’s just life. Insecurity? It depends on the context. Election rigging? Na part of politics. Stealing public funds? That's the game.
And the moment you point these things out, some people push back because you’re challenging the version of normal they’ve grown used to.
Changing this won't be easy, but we can start from our own little spaces. Keep showing people what a better life can look like. Be the light.
This life ehn 🤣
In my compound we have 4 flats — two downstairs and two upstairs.
Anytime there’s no light, the man downstairs uses his own generator and fuel to pump water. Naturally, he pumps downstairs first before pumping upstairs where the landlord and another tenant stay.
Yesterday morning there was no power again, so the man used his generator to pump water.
Next thing… the landlord sent him a message asking why he pumped the water downstairs first before upstairs. 😳
with his own generator and fuel?
The audacity of our landlord, looks like juju 🤣🤣😂
Last week, a guy DMed me on X telling me he would like to meet me and that we should go on date. I told him at first that I'm not interested in meeting up but later told him let's see how it goes. He asked for my account details and sent me 500k on Thursday!
I was so happy and surprised, I went to thank him immediately, on Friday I also thanked him. Now he's asking…
A candidate asked me if she can be very honest and I replied yes.
She then said “are you sure you will not be angry”? I replied, please go ahead.
She: You have a kissable lips. I’m so sorry pls
Me: That will be all from me. The team will reach out to you.
Some of you are not normal…..
2 weeks ago, I told kids at school to write an essay titled “If I were a millionaire”
Everyone was writing except some young boy who leaned back with his arms folded.
I asked him “ what’s the matter, why aren’t you writing?”
With a lot of confidence the boy replied “I’m waiting for my secretary”
I scored him 10/10
My boss used to be friendly. Compliments. Jokes. Always telling me how “refreshing” I was. Then one day he asked if I was seeing anyone. I said yes. His tone changed after that. Meetings stopped including me. My ideas suddenly needed “more polishing.” A month later, my performance review dropped. Same work. Same results. New criticism. I realized it wasn’t about my work. It was about access. So I updated my résumé. Two weeks later, I resigned. He called, confused. “I didn’t think you’d take it that far.”
Men who punish women for boundaries always expect us to stay.
That’s the mistake.
The government isn’t going to fix your finances.
Your employer doesn’t care about your retirement.
Your family can’t carry you forever.
There is no cavalry. No rescue team. No lottery win on the horizon.
The sooner you accept this, the sooner you stop waiting and start building.
Your financial future is 100% your responsibility.
That sounds harsh. It is harsh. But it’s also liberating.
Because if it’s your responsibility, it’s also within your control.
You can learn. You can adapt. You can build.
Anthony Joshua had an accident, they put him in the front seat of Police Hilux
Chimamanda's son died because the anaesthesiologist gave propofol overdose and didnt monitor the patient.
All states announced some IUPAC set of phone numbers as emergency numbers.
The Federal Government is suing @nard_nigeria for continuing strikes but dont want to address issues. JOHESU is still on strike.
Nigeria is what it is. We don't have a health system.
