Forget student loans. Can we get japa loans?

Also: It seems party packs are the new sign of wealth. [View in browser](=.5aruaFlwfWeWA4aoG_8QAec2mJPbio_iwLA8voNM400) [Zikoko Daily] 13 June, 2023 Hey . I won’t even get into whether the new student loan signed by our commander-in-chief is good or bad. My own is, can he extend it to other things? I just want a japa loan. I promise to pay back when I get to the land of my dreams. Also, have you heard what the new generation mummies are doing? We heard they’re now doing “party packs” competition. Remember how party packs in our days consisted of Capri-Sonne and a few pencils? People are now putting tabs inside party packs o. As in, actual mobile tablets for children's parties.

Preferably a country that’s not Nigeria. I can’t be going through long-distance wahala when we’re both in this place. That’s just wahala pro max. Anyway, Tolu* is a product designer living in London. He talks about first moving to Nairobi because of Nigeria’s inconsistent power supply — we can relate, bro — finally getting a job at Spotify and receiving the best birthday gift from his girlfriend. Here’s what he said: “She’s literally the most thoughtful person I know. My birthday was just a few days after we started dating, and she went all out. Got me gifts— a jersey, perfumes, a belt and a fancy cup I took to Nairobi. As a guy, I’m not used to getting a lot of gifts, so the intentionality behind these meant everything to me.
