This Week Get As E Be

Hey My Gee.

I am not gonna lie, this week feels weird in some ways. From the start of the week, I have been trying to think of topics to write on, but unfortunately i couldn’t think of one. Then, I remembered I promised myself to be consistent with the newsletter, so there was no way i could skip this week. After much deliberation, I decided to activate the little content creation skill in me, so I decide to CURATE rather than CREATE. Anyways i hope you enjoy it sha 🤣 .

Love Life: Our Sugar Relationship Supports My Ambitions

Nneka* (54) and Daniel* (28) are in a sugar mummy-sugar baby situation that’s been on since 2022. On this week’s Love Life, they talk about caring for each other within a purely transactional arrangement, how their first fight made the power dynamics clear and what they don’t miss about traditional relationships.

One Chance.

In Nigerian culture, "One Chance" is a term used to describe a situation where someone is taken advantage of or cheated, often in a sudden or unexpected way. It can also refer to a scam or fraud, where someone is tricked into giving up their belongings or money.

Another Zikoko Series #InsideLife. This week, Five Nigerian Survivors Share Their One-Chance Horror Stories.

You can’t be too careful when using public transportation in Nigeria.

From someone who boarded at an official garage to another who hopped on a bike for safety, these one-chance survivors share how their harrowing experiences have made them wary of public transportation.

Enjoy!!!!
