Fashion Game that Celebrates Nigerian Fashion
Growing up, we played many games, and none of them have been able to properly represent Nigerian fashion:
Owambe. Ankara. Isi Agu. Aso-Oke. Gele. Agbada.

They found this sea turtle and sent it back to the ocean. So glad they didn’t eat it.
How can I date Nigerian Yoruba women if I can’t speak English to very well?
I like Nigeria Yoruba culture and currently live in Lagos and Abuja as business man from French west Africa. How can I date woman in Lagos? Like my last post all of them from 30+ are married and younger ones only date Nigerian, black Americans men and Europeans man. How can other African man date Yoruba or any tribe? Thanks
Edit: am knowing that there’s Yoruba in Benin but I specially like Nigerian woman’s but they never like other Africans man except Nigerian, Ghana, and black Americans man is who they only like.
Is the "Sufferhead" Era of Nigerian Marriage Finally Coming to an End?
“Go sit down for there, you no get where you dey go.” Typical phrase we used to hear for generations, when many Nigerian women stayed in unhealthy marriages because culture and financial dependence made leaving difficult.
But things are changing. More women are earning, finding themselves, and realizing they actually can walk away.
So is the rise in divorce a problem or are women simply refusing to tolerate what previous generations had no choice but to endure?
Some positive news from Nigeria this past week.

FCT: Police arrest mother for killing newborn baby with razor blade
The FCT Police Command has arrested a 27-year-old woman, Precious Yohanna, for allegedly killing her newborn baby in Jabi, Abuja.
Police said they received a distress call on 4 October 2026 at about 10.30 p.m., reporting the discovery of an abandoned baby in a bush in the Jabi area.
In a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday, the command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed that operatives from Jabi Division were deployed to the scene, where the lifeless body of a male infant with deep wounds to the throat and abdomen was recovered. The infant was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
“Following the incident, the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, ordered a manhunt for the suspect.
“With the assistance of members of the community, Ms Precious Yohanna, a native of Riyam in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State and resident of the Daki-Biu/Jabi area, was traced and arrested.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect gave birth to the baby inside her room on 3 October 2026 at about 4.00 p.m. and allegedly used a razor blade to inflict fatal injuries on him.
“Police said the suspect admitted that she carried out the act out of hatred for the baby’s father,” the statement read.
The Commissioner of Police condemned the act, describing it as a grave violation of the sanctity of human life, and commended community members for assisting in the arrest.
He assured that the command would conduct a thorough investigation and that the suspect, who remains in custody, would be charged to court upon conclusion of the investigation.
Why You Ghost Me Now?
Na you look for my attention first
Na you like me first
Na you toast me first
Na you chase me, chase me
Now, na you dey ghost me
How e take happen?
No explanation, just complete silence
Na you make everything so intentional
Now e con be like say na me dey bother you
Honestly, why did you reach out?
Were you just bored, or just curious?
Abi, was this just a social experiment for you?
Did you go back to your ex?
I didn’t know you existed; na you bring me into this situation
Now the heart wey I spend three years mending don break again
How many times person fit patch heart?
The on-and-off thing dey always fascinate me
E pain me no be small!
Begging culture
This begging thing is too much now, nowadays you can't even drive through lagos in peace. And it's spreading everywhere too, yesterday I joined almost 5 different call of duty mobile lobbies and in every one of them someone was begging for money in the lobby voice chat.
You can't even play a simple game in peace, this government is running the country into the ground
What do you think about this Lagos friendly beginner itinerary
This video got me thinking of the Peller video that went viral
I remember when Peller gave that girl 1 million and she didn’t react as he thought she would. Kinda makes me wonder if our idea of appreciation is so embedded in us showing it so so physically, till it makes the giver feel appreciated. When I watched the video that’s where my mind kinda went too. We are so used to the huge “Emotional payoff” as Nigerian, after doing something huge for someone, not knowing that not everyone is as socially not awkward (didn’t know the word to use) as the rest of us.
