Getting it all out, all the songs and intrusive melodies in my head.

This is the first of many unwritten songs in my head - all originals, no covers, till I decide otherwise. I don't even have a title for this yet.

Terribly pathetic.

As much as I do not agree with it, I think I'm beginning to see why a lot of Nigerian men don't see their wives as a part of the family.

Stop sharing your platform and spotlight with men you’re dating — Media personality, Jola Ayeye warns influential women

Media personality Jola Ayeye is stirring conversations after sharing her blunt take on relationships and influence during an episode of I Said What I Said Podcast.

According to her, women are often too generous when it comes to sharing the platforms they’ve built from scratch, especially in romantic relationships.

She questioned the trend of female influencers, creatives, and entrepreneurs quickly integrating their partners into their personal brands, sometimes even evolving into full-blown “couples’ content.”

Ayeye argues that building visibility, whether as a podcaster, musician, or businesswoman, takes years of effort, consistency, and strategy.

Yet, in the excitement of love, many women unintentionally hand over that hard-earned visibility to partners who didn’t contribute to building it.

In her words, “social capital is real,” and women tend to give it away too easily. She pointed out a noticeable pattern, many couples’ platforms start with a woman who already has an audience, then introduces her partner into that space. The reverse, she says, is far less common.

Even in industries like film and music, she noted that men are typically more reserved about publicly sharing their relationships or spotlighting their partners.

Beyond just visibility, Ayeye highlighted the long-term implications. When relationships end, the man often walks away with a portion of the audience that the woman cultivated.

Even worse, some couples feel pressured to maintain appearances online despite private struggles, simply to protect the “brand.”

Sometime early this year, I met with some of the brilliant minds at New Wave Dramatics. At the end of a shoot, in that quiet space where everyone was already packing up and creativity is supposed to rest, we made a different decision to create again

late. There was no time to overthink, only time to be present and truthful.

This film is not my announcement, It’s a reminder to myself most especially that the dreams we delay don’t disappear, they wait. Sometimes, all they need is one unplanned moment to find their voice.

My wife is a very pleasant person.
But one thing about women, they don’t forget how you treat them.

This month, I was rushing for a meeting and waiting in the car for my wife. She came out late and made me miss part of the meeting.

Instead of apologising alone, she calmly reminded me:
“Last December 2024, you made me late for the Christmas carol I was supposed to lead.”

Omoh… I just weak
