I'm here to save you from the sin of hating amala

Also: I turn off my lights to pretend I’m in Nigeria [View in browser]( [Zikoko Daily] 15 April, 2022 Hey . Because I’m an amebo, I asked a few Zikoko writers to tell me how they were spending today, it being a public holiday (gosh, I’m so happy!) Ama: Home alone. I’ll cook later because man shall live by bread and stew. Ibukun: Doing absolutely nothing. Maybe thinking about my non-existent love life. Mariam: Getting my ears pierced, might get a tattoo as well. Also, I’ll read a book and do some writing. Itohan: Drinking BACARDI!! Tega: I’m at the salon having a protein treatment and trimming my hair. David: [Aired, DFKM.] Anyway, my winners are Mariam and Ibukun for being complete opposites today. Go Mariam! Ibukun, rise! Don’t waste my money. Also, points to Ama for the Bible reference. The man knows how to stay on theme!

As usual, my favourite lines from the interview: --------------------------------------------------------------- "Many of the Nigerians I’ve met here are either in school studying or just busy with work and trying to pay bills. People don’t have time for each other. If I was to have time to make friends and socialise, it would mean I have to relax on school stuff, and that’s impossible. School here is so, so difficult."
