As a guy, it is important to always have correct men around you.
Men that will mention your names in spaces of opportunities.
Men that will protect your own at all cost.
Men that tell you the truth when you fuck up.
Men that aren’t stingy (a totally different thing from not having).
Men that don’t sing your shortfalls and secret to outsiders.
Men that are financially and career ambitious, yet contented with their achievements.
Truly, the best of men are still men.
This classic banger is one of the standout tracks from Eedris Abdulkareem’s breakthrough album Mr. Lecturer, originally dropped in 2002.
"Live in Yankee” is a proper humorous storytelling jam about a guy who swears to marry his babe back home in Naija, only to japa to “Yankee” and ghost her.
Eedris flexes hard in character bragging about chilling with Puff Daddy, copping a Lexus Jeep, and eyeing a Grammy win in New York.
Did you vibe to this one back in the day?
One thing I’ve come to accept in life is this:
No matter the path you choose, you will still think about the one you didn’t.
You will wonder how your life might have turned out.
You will replay the “what ifs” in quiet moments.
What if you had married your first love?
What if you had made a different decision?
What if you had bought a car instead of a house?
Some questions never really leave you. You simply learn to live with them.
What decision in your life still makes you wonder “what if”.
Jeremiah Gyang's 'Na Ba Ka' dropped in 2004, featuring Six Foot Plus.
This beautiful Hausa gospel track crossed tribal lines and became a massive hit loved by Nigerians everywhere regardless of language or background. Pure nostalgia.
Who still gets chills when they hear it?
THE ILLUSION OF ONLINE PHILANTHROPY💀
In the age of social media, philanthropy has become more visible than ever. Every day, people post videos and pictures of themselves giving money, food or gifts to the less privileged. While helping others is noble, a growing number of these acts online are driven more by the desire for attention than genuine compassion. The camera often becomes more important than the cause.
Many so called philanthropists carefully stage their acts of kindness just to gain followers, likes and public praise. In some cases, the help given is minimal, but the publicity around it is exaggerated. The beneficiaries are sometimes used as props for content rather than treated with dignity.
True philanthropy is usually quiet and consistent. It focuses on impact, not applause. Real generosity does not require a camera, trending hashtags or viral moments. While social media can inspire people to give, we must learn to distinguish between sincere charity and performative generosity designed mainly for online validation.

“Baby Girl” by Beninese artist Nel Oliver, recorded in the late 1980s, is a heartfelt, multilingual song (English, French, Yoruba, and Gun) that captures a father’s blend of love, pride, and quiet sadness as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day. It beautifully reflects the bittersweet reality of watching a child grow up and begin a new chapter of her own.
By God’s grace, I’ll be playing this song for my daughters on their wedding day. 🎈🎊
Azadus released the hit song “You Is the One” as part of his Just album on Kennis Music in 2000. The track is widely regarded as a classic of Nigerian hip-hop from that era. Some of us used the lyrics to “assure” babes that year 😊
It’s confession time… how many times did you have an ultrasound done before your delivery? I know of a queen who did nothing less than 25! 😩 Please, let’s stay on the side of caution and avoid ultrasounds if they’re not necessary. They could be dangerous if used excessively.
