“I’m Beating the Devil Out of You!” I’ll never forget that night. The house was silent, except for her screams. My cousin had broken a plate while washing the dishes. She was only 10. Her mother’s response? A slap. A cord. A storm of angry words soaked in Bible verses. “She who spares the rod...
I remember sitting across from a friend one day. She was sobbing. Not because her family hated her… But because her family never truly saw her. They prayed. Ate meals together. Had traditions. But… she felt unseen. Unheard. Misunderstood. When I asked her why she never brought it up before, she said: “They love me....
Let me tell you about my friend. Let’s call him Tunde. You know those men that make you believe good guys still exist? Soft-spoken. Intelligent. Faithful. Family-oriented. He wasn’t flashy, but he was consistent. He met her, let’s call her Amaka during NYSC. Sharp babe. Beauty + brains. She knew how to carry herself. Everyone...
Let me just say this as it is: wedding day smiles don’t guarantee a peaceful marriage. There’s this sister I know; beautiful, graceful, heavily involved in church. Her voice? Angelic. Her character? Solid. She didn’t just glow during her wedding prep, she shined. The guy she was marrying? Everyone called him “the gentle giant.” Soft-spoken....

When I first laid eyes on this, I couldn’t help but chuckle. Then I took a moment to think. Then I let out a sigh. And then, I realized there was a powerful message bursting from the video. Here’s this young guy, probably not even 21, boldly claiming he could offer #500,000 a month just...
He made fun of people with Master’s degrees… just to get attention. First, he claimed he needed two folks to help him with his camera. He said he’d pay ₦500,000 a month. Then he asked for 20 applicants to send in their CVs… and get this… they had to have a Master’s degree. And they...
Theme: Premature Marriages and Ignored Red Flags Episode 5: Let me gist you about a wedding that still haunts all of us. It was just last year. I remember it so well because we all showed up dressed to kill. The canopy, the music, the fireworks, the makeup artists. Everything was lit. But beneath all...
Let me tell you something that still makes my chest tight when I think about it. We used to live in a compound where everybody knew everybody. You know those days when you could drop your kids off at a neighbour’s house and go to market with peace of mind? Families helped each other. Aunties...
You see ehn… I will never forget this story. I was much younger, maybe like 10 or 11. There was this family we were very close to. Our parents were friends, we attended the same church, did family hangouts together. You know the type. They were what you’d call a “model family”; peaceful, prayerful, and...
