STDs, Staphylococcus, and Stamina—Thank You, Dr. Igodo!
by @zitalove

Nigerians are the funniest set of people when it comes to selling their market. I think one reason for this is because deep down we know that if we don’t sell our market, we are not going to see food to eat for the day. So the antics and zeal that we use to advertise are driven by the urge to survive in this broken economy. When you remember that if nobody buys your bread, you will not see bread to eat, suddenly the rays of the sun hitting you from all angles while you run to the next car with their windows down, hawking your goods to them, don’t feel so harsh anymore.

A Crazy Market Strategist
by @fashtioluwa

The story you are about to read is a story that always makes me laugh. Anything I think about it, you might not understand immediately, but I am sure if you read this story to the end, you will laugh last. It is normal for people to enter the commercial bus in my country (Nigeria). This bus I am talking about is popularly known as "Molue" in Lagos City. In this bus, different activities like selling, advertising, and even preaching are done on this bus, but what happened on this day will always amaze me.

The Idea That Stuck With Me For Years
by @adese

Before I start, let me rewind you back to few years ago. You know na around the early 2000s where as a young Nigerian man I am who have a lot of plenty of dreams but didn't have direction as I was actually getting frustrated and trying to navigate out of the chaos in life. At that point of my life, I was actually trying to figure out whether I should study an engineering course or probably I should just run away from the house to pursue a music career.
