Sorry I do not reach out as often as I used to, I have been second guessing my career path,debating my life choices,and sleeping in any free time I get to escape the reality that is my life.

You thought using Tretinoin on your pubic area for a week would lighten the hyperpigmentation in time for your honeymoon, and now you're shedding like Nagini on your wedding night. Hate to see it.

You mean to tell me that Stevie Wonder just went into the studio, recorded “As”, left to have some lunch, and then went home like nothing happened?!

Nigerian politicians are painful to watch. Not entertaining. Not dramatic. Painful. A country as large, populous, and strategically important as Nigeria is busy playing small, stupid games while the rest of the world hardens its borders, stockpiles power, and quietly prepares for conflict. This is a dangerous historical moment, and Nigeria is wasting it.

Outside Lagos, this is the richest state in the country, and it has almost nothing to show for it. No shared prosperity. No durable institutions. No civic confidence. Just a handful of stupendously rich politicians, men with so much money and so little restraint that they can destabilise an entire state for sport.

What makes it worse is the audience. Too many citizens watch these manoeuvres the way one watches a Netflix series. With commentary. With jokes. With team colours. As if this were fiction. As if it were not their lives being slowly hollowed out. As if poverty, insecurity, and institutional collapse were abstract concepts rather than daily facts.

This is not a moment for choosing between rival factions of the same rotten political class. There is no moral clarity to be found there. There is no hero waiting in the wings. There is only the insistence that this chaos is normal, that this is how politics works here, that there is no alternative.

But none of this is normal. It is not normal for public office to function as a private war chest. It is not normal for a state to be rich and its people perpetually poor. It is not normal for a country of this size and importance to drift while the world rearranges itself.

At some point Nigerians have to refuse the performance. To stop treating dysfunction as spectacle. To reject the lie that this is the best we can do. This is not politics as usual. It is a slow, collective failure, and pretending otherwise is part of the problem.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Ochanya was just a girl. A child. She deserved care, not cruelty. Protection and not pain.

And until predators are punished and the system protects our girls, we’ll keep chanting her name, Justice for Ochanya! We owe her truth, we owe her change, we owe her justice.
#JusticeForOchanya

Being shy is so annoying. Why is my chest hurting me because I need to speak in public.

💔 TRIBUTE TO SOMTOCHUKWU “SOMMIE” MADUAGWU 💔

It’s hard to put into words the shock and pain of losing my friend Sommie. Just three months ahead of her 30th birthday her life has been cut short in the most devastating way.

Sommie was brilliance and beauty combined. She had wit, intellect, and a fire that lit up every room she entered. A girl’s girl, endlessly supportive, full of dreams and determination.

In one of her early reports at @ARISEtv , she said: “The persistent lack of representation of Nigerian women in politics underpins an urgent need for action… for a more equitable and progressive society.” Those words echo even louder now. She wasn’t just reading a script; she was a voice for justice and equality.

Her death is a loss not only to her family and friends, but to journalism, and to a country where young women like her still struggle to live in safety. Sommie deserved more.

I will miss her deeply. My love and condolences go to her family, to all who knew her, and to my colleagues at @ARISEtv May her legacy live on and may we find the courage to demand a safer, fairer future in her name.

I always find it interesting when I travel and people think it’s enabled by excess wealth. My Trips to Amsterdam, Venice, Milan and Athens were a combined cost of a flight from Lagos to Abuja.
