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 🤣 .
In today this Newsletter

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.
