Have You Seen The Achikolo Video (By Zoro ft Phyno)?

I have never really been into music videos. A lot of times, I'd know the song and love the song, but I might not even know what the singer looks like. Does not matter the genre of music. That said, when I do watch American music videos and I see a lot of almost-naked women, I look past it because it's American music. But when I watch a Nigerian music video and it looks like an American music video, I'm honestly disappointed. For me, when I watch a Nigerian music video, I want to see Nigeria Read More

20 Lessons I Learned In Nigeria

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series. While in Nigeria, I had several AHA moments and several lessons were learned. Here are 20 lessons I learned - in no particular order. 1.

The most convenient flight for me on that Tuesday was one by Dana Air (flight 9J-335), which was scheduled to leave Lagos at Read More

When In Doubt, Wear Pretty Shoes

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Famous Footwear. All opinions are 100% mine. I think it was last year that a special video started making its rounds on the internet. It was a video of some unsuspecting people interviewing for a job. They were told that they would have to work twenty-four hours a day and not get paid, and all of them thought it was ridiculous and concluded that no one would ever do such a job. And then they found out that someone was already doing the job: Read More

I Don’t Always Wear A Watch, But When I Do …

I have an interesting relationship with watches. At one point in my life - in my early college years - I had to wear a watch. I was so faithful in wearing the same watch every day that I had a tan line on my left wrist (and I loved that tan line). At that time, though, smart phones were not what they are today. If memory serves me right, the smart phones available back then were the Sidekick from T-mobile and the Palm Pilot from Sprint and other carriers. Remember them? I had neither one of Read More
