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....
Nigeria just lost a former President, Muhammad Buhari Whether loved or criticized, his time is now complete. His decisions are sealed in the pages of history. His leadership with all its triumphs and trials is no longer in motion, only in memory. But what does this teach us as fathers, mothers, and family leaders? It...
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...

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...
I remember this like yesterday. We had this woman everyone called Auntie Margaret. She wasn’t our auntie by blood, but in our old compound, you didn’t need blood to be family. You just needed to be kind… and show up. And Auntie Margaret? Oh, she showed up with a big smile, warm pots of jollof,...
Theme: Body Safety & Family Silence I was about nine when I first noticed something strange. Uncle Tayo was like a family fixture. He was always around. Not really our uncle, but everyone called him that. He lived in the boys’ quarters behind our compound and had a room filled with comic books, action figures,...
“The voice you use to speak to your child is often shaped by the voice that spoke to you.” And if we’re honest… Many of us were raised by parents doing the best they could, But not always the best we needed. • Maybe you grew up with silence where there should have been...
