The BBNAIJA ALL STARS SEASON--Appreciating the show for what it truly is.

The BBNAIJA ALL STARS SEASON--Appreciating the show for what it truly is.

I'm so pleased to have to discuss BBnaija as a show that presents people in their truest forms, and admonishing, in the process, that we simply enjoy the show for what it is, learn the most we can from the interactions, gossips, quarrels, and banters with less sentimentality and judgement regarding the personalities on there. It takes a lot of psychological and emotional strength to be on a reality TV, in the first place.

The Nigerian Movement-- Peter Obi's Candidacy; Takeaways and Encouragement. Ft Mr Anthony.

The Nigerian Movement-- Peter Obi's Candidacy; Takeaways and Encouragement. Ft Mr Anthony.

I've been unapologetically apathetic about Nigerian politics until now. With the rise of something I see as a Nigerian Movement that began from the #Endsars, I am more participatory now. And this is one of the ways. This is the best time to participate in Nigerian politics with the emergency of a credible, transparent, honest and educated candidate with such an impressive and accessible track record. This is beyond a Presidential election for me. It is a loud cry for that change we've looked toward with so much hope from so many years of having to manage and muster such a bad and deplorable system. Your views are very welcome.

Toxic Work Environments; The Red Flags to Note to preserve Your Mental Health. Ft. Ernest Chigaemezu

Toxic Work Environments; The Red Flags to Note to preserve Your Mental Health. Ft. Ernest Chigaemezu

I'm so delighted to eventually get the chance to discuss toxic work environments on a broad scale with a good friend. We're both speaking from firsthand experiences and dropping a few nuggets to help you, the listener, easily spot those attributes that constitute unhealthy work engagements and make timely decisions to preserve your mental health or manage the situation, whatever be the case. But, more importantly, we're glad to be airing our views and letting out pent-up our grievances on this issue via this platform.

10 Popular Word Choices you Shouldn't Try to Correct for a Typical Nigerian. Ft Esther Utomi.

10 Popular Word Choices you Shouldn't Try to Correct for a Typical Nigerian. Ft Esther Utomi.

Another of our laid-back midweek episode: We got down to analysing a few of those rampant, slangy and funny words that have stuck with typical Nigerians ( for instance, we know all seasoning cubes as maggi, full stop.) And we are leaving enough enough room for contributions as there are many other word choices like the ones we treated on this episode.

Highpoints and Lowpoints of Residing in Yobe Thus Far: The Corp Member Experience. ft Mercy Isaac

I finally came around to dropping something new after about six months. And here is it; our experience about the typical Northerner and the Northern lifestyle, here in Damaturu, from the dominant sensibilities, culture, attitude to life, and just how it's been living here generally, categorizing all these into all those that have made us feel unusually glad and those that have simply dampened our spirits.

We are here to help people feel love and yet 'stand' in love this season, as opposed to 'falling' in love, lmao...by revealing some weird, crazy, popular, plastic punchlines that simply do not work because they do not indicate true emotions. Do enjoy.

Sexual Harassment; The sidelines, Identifying the tendencies, and subjective methods of dealing.

Sexual Harassment; The sidelines, Identifying the tendencies, and subjective methods of dealing.

We cannot discuss certain issues enough to get the sort of positive responses we need. A lot of sexual harassment issues have been swept under for some time, badly approached by the system; a lot of people have been sidelined overtime, and there's this rampant silence culture, which shouldn't be the case

Shooting Shots and Paying Bills: Who Should Do What? Ft Anna, Samson, Khadija.

In a laid back and chatty manner, we're discussing who should pay the bills or make the first move before or doing a relationship. Although society demands this of men, but we find that it isn't always the case, especially in our time. Send your views on IG @weeklyspills

Unlearning Senseless Hatred-- "My Gender identification is my business!" (part 1)

Unlearning Senseless Hatred-- "My Gender identification is my business!" (part 1)

Our misconception about the difference between Sex(the genitalia) and Gender has contributed to the hate we've shown outwardly or subtly towards men who are in touch with their feminine sides or women who are in touch with their masculine sides. This has made it important that we seek to be informed about things that are uncommon to us, accept people and simply quit the unnecessary hatred!

#EndSARS Dogs or Just Thugs: Things No One May Have Told You About Thugs.

Thugs have been known to be helpless, willing tools in the hands of politicians overtime in Nigeria, to frustrate democratic demonstrations. So, how do we convince them to do otherwise? It is, of course, possible!

We're putting into perspective all that was said by the President in context of our agitations and gloominess so far, and equally taking a look at the beauties and uglies of out peaceful protests. And an interesting overview on motivations behind the protest!

If this isn't the most dangerous thing to tell a girl, then what is?

What we see on the internet should in no way influence how we choose to raise our girls. Childhood orientation matters a lot. THE GAME: say this three(3) times and at fast but fluent speech: WE SHOULD NOT CHEAT OR SHORTCHANGE THE GIRL CHILD. #500 airtime to the winner!
