Let’s Talk About Menopause
Lately, I’ve been feeling funny – joint pains, headaches, fatigue, irritability, and this overall “leave me alone” tiredness that I cannot explain.

Work From Home Wahala: When Your Family Thinks You’re on Holiday
Ah, remote work! The dream life, abi? Rolling out of bed at 7:55 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. zoom call, wearing your finest corporate blouse with pyjamas underneath. No Lagos traffic wahala.

Life After 40: My Body feels different!
Nobody warned me properly about this life after 40. I just woke up one day and realized my body had entered a new season without my consent. I used to hear people say, “After 40, your body will change,” but I thought it was just an exaggeration. Ah! Nobody told me my metabolism would take […]

Your Lagos Traffic Survival Guide
I almost gave myself high BP because of Lagos traffic. No, seriously. You see, I used to be that driver shouting “Oga, are you blind?!” and throwing my hands up like an agbero in frustration. My husband says I talk too much while driving, and maybe he has a point. But how can I not […]
‘Japa’ Wahala: Dealing with the Loneliness
Dear sisters, this ‘japa’ matter has shown me shege. Three years ago, when my closest friend packed her bags and moved to the UK, I nearly entered depression.

Keeping the Spark Alive When Life Gets Too Busy
The other day, right in the middle of work stress and Lagos wahala, my phone buzzed. It was a dispatch rider at my gate. I wasn’t expecting any package, but I went ahead to receive it and when I opened it, there it was… hot, smoky Port Harcourt Boli and fish, sent by my dear […]
