About two weeks ago, I cut and dyed my hair. I've been meaning to do this for the longest time ever, and I finally got the courage to do it. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about the hair. But now, I absolutely love it! Join me in this vlog to see the entire process! #Abuja, #Nigeria, #Vlog

“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. #Compliments, #Feminism
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. #Birthday, #Lessons, #Lifestyle

Music: Here (Live Cover) by Rukky Otive
"Here" is a gospel song by Kari Jobe that reminds us that we are never alone because God is always with us. In this video, I perform a live cover of the song. You can watch the video below or on YouTube (scroll down to view the lyrics). Credits go to Promise Chime (on the keyboard), Favour (on the drums), and Uviboy (video recording). #Cover, #GospelMusic, #LiveCover, #Music

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. #Career, #Class, #ClassInequality, #Job, #Money
#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. #Law, #Legal, #LegalAnalysis, #Lifestyle, #PublicPolicy, #SocialMedia, #Twitter, #TwitterBan
