Claudia I stopped paid employment because you can hardly satisfy a Nigerian employer if you're not suffering on the job. Most organisations here have toxic work culture. People carry their seniority mentality from secondary school into the workplace. I used to overwork (that's literally how we work here). Do all that and more. While working for Nigerian firms, I thought hardwork was good work till I started working with a Ghanaian firm where you get upto 2weeks to deliver one article yet they pay on time. I shock! A Nigerian company will expect you to deliver 5 to 10 contents (articles) in a week. How?....& for what? Worst still, if you have a terrible superior your work may never pass.

Don’t suffer in silence just because you fear what people might say or worry about the outcome. What if things turn out better than you ever imagined? No one can fully understand your pain, because no one else feels it the way you do. So, whether it’s about...
Marriage is often romanticized as a lifelong journey of love, connection, and shared dreams. However, as time goes on, couples might find themselves grappling with an unexpected shift in their relationship dynamics. It's the point where familiarity turns into monotony, intimacy morphs into mere coexistence, and the question arises: at what point does your spouse become your flatmate? This crucial juncture, if left unaddressed, can become a dangerous pitfall for the relationship. Let me share some takes on the signs that signal this transition and insights into how couples can rekindle their connection before it's too late. Personally, once I lose connection it’s as if I am mentally done but is there a way to make adjustments and realign? Of course. Though it is often said that the cordiality of a relationship is usually held down by one person but we all know it takes two to make it work. Where one or both parties are not willing, the union cannot stand. A situation where on...
