By Magnus | September, 2021

There are some places you should never go back to, Some spaces you shouldn’t try to fit in… Spots you should have no business entering, Messages you should never respond to… Just don’t do… anything. Don’t say anything. Move forward… Move on… If you respond or go there, it might mess you up (again?) all …

How Nigeria’s Bad Fuel degraded my Car Performance

By anonymous | September, 2021

Ask me again why I left Nigeria… My car is a performance car and uses premium fuel. I didn’t know this. Nigerian fuel spoils it for me. I spent a lot of money troubleshooting starting issues.

By Magnus | July, 2021

You Are Not What You Attract

By Magnus | May, 2021

“You are not what you attract. You are what you accommodate. There are some nuances, but all in all, this remains true. A hard truth for many. You will attract all types of things.

Raped or sexually assaulted? Contact these organizations

By Magnus | April, 2018

I talked about how we should be speaking up for abused children on a recent post here. A major challenge I thought I would have was listing the organizations to contact if you have been raped/assaulted or know anyone that has/is being abused. I found this in a review on Bellanaija. Note: If you’ve been raped …
