My favorite Nigerian songs for the year 2022. I asked my brother Ebi to chip in a few. Not all of them were released this year. But they all made my list. Here’s the links on Apple Music and Spotify.

I saw an ad by Amazon hosting job interviews for Nigerian engineers who wish to relocate to the US, Canada, or Ireland. Brought to my mind this thing called the Tyranny of Small Decisions.

About a few weeks ago, I was mindlessly scrolling twitter when I stumbled on a tweet by Vala Afshar. In the tweet, he mentioned that google came into operation in the late 90s, at a time when there were several search engines already in the market. The tweet also included a nostalgic video clip of […]
