Also: What’s it like managing low-income and mental health? [View in browser](=.N2KORF6F96p4EHZGtMyQr82HfAG9e4mRoC3Gmyahyo4) [Zikoko Daily] 4 September, 2023 Hey . I’m sure I’m not alone when I say, “WTH happened at the Headies last night?” Marv asked the questions I had in my head better in his rundown of all the (questionable) things that happened at the awards. It’s linked below. 💜 PS: You might want to have a tissue handy for this week’s #NairaLife. It’s that heartbreaking.

Our subject talks about struggling to manage her finances. As if that wasn’t enough, she has a mental disorder that’s preventing her from living her best life.] What she said: “At some point, I wasn’t earning as much as my coworkers as [my job] involved walking up to people to convince them to do a pedicure, and my anxiety made that really difficult. There were days when I’d be too scared or just not want to attend to anybody.” When I asked about her relationship with money, she said: “I constantly feel like I’m stuck on an island with wild animals without a means of escape, and I’m supposed to somehow figure out what to do. So I just pretend like I know what I’m doing because if I don’t, it means I’m dumb. I still feel like my inability to keep a job or focus on a skill for a long time contributes to a vicious cycle of unstable income and inability to save.” [Read her NairaLife here](=.Ib0aJr7D9qWnQFZGYw_Cu7IUYpCVp8c5EmK1nL6WLLo) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 2 Were the Headies award organisers scared of NEPA? Because I can’t think of another reason why they moved an award that’s meant to celebrate Nigerian music to white people's land for the second time. That’s not even the only questionable thing that happened there.
