“You’re Not Like Other Girls”: A Compliment or an Insult?
“You’re not like other girls.” I’ve heard people use this line a couple of times. I think I can try to understand the idea behind it. But on the other hand, there is something very unsettling about it.

11 Lessons I’ve Learned in 22 Years
I turned 22 roughly a month ago, on the 8th of August. A few days to my birthday, I started reflecting on the things I’ve learned in my relatively little time on earth. I’m posting this in the hope that someone learns a thing or two. Personally, I also intend to use these lessons for some goal-setting and life-planning going forward.

Are we all being controlled by our desire for money?
A couple of months ago, my friend Rita asked me a question: If you didn’t have to worry about money or job security, what would you do with your life? This made me curious about whether anyone would even be doing conventional 9-5 jobs on a full-time basis if they didn’t have to worry about money or job security.

#TwitterBan in Nigeria: Can you be prosecuted?
A lot has happened in Nigeria over the past few days, and they can all be traced to the #TwitterBan imposed by the Federal Government on Friday June 4th. This is my attempt to analyse the legal implications of the ban on citizens.

Hard Work vs Smart Work: A Modern Interpretation of the Tortoise and the Hare
In its traditional form, the story of the tortoise and the hare is used to teach a lesson such as ‘slow and steady wins the race’ (even though I don’t believe that this statement is always true). However, I stumbled upon the picture below while I was scrolling through Instagram, and I found the twist on the traditional tortoise and hare depiction quite interesting.
