Also: We have hacks for living through inflation. [View in browser](=.no6FXE9onNIhNi534HWlhtcYukY1qHKu9iVAOMWmOv4) [Zikoko Daily] 18 January, 2024 Hey . It’s as if everyone on social media is graduating this week. We love to see more people free from the FG-ASUU wahala.✨ Meanwhile, someone on X is dragging a real estate company for allegedly scamming him of ₦40m. The company in question came out to say, “It’s a lie o. It’s only about ₦16m, and he’s even owing us ₦9m.” Who will settle this matter now? In today’s newsletter, we spoke to millennials about their inflation hacks, documented awkward owambe experiences and interviewed a queer #LoveLife couple who married out of their sexuality just to keep up appearances. 👇🏾 Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [Nigerian millennials share hacks for living through inflation](=.Jo9gaRArWGAx90bfOQVghzbonmtlbs-FI-3jiAmYNIw) - 2 [7 of the most awkward moments young people experience at owambes](=.8DvgzdlxB8Bmu22NFNLwsJ8Bccx-rvgcydAp7ir9fNA) - 3 [7 Ibadan residents talk about the explosion in their city](=.tUx-c7ERoMqVc-T2jxi8Cjr_mRjj6JhQGNJl_zxizTU) LOVE LIFE The Inside Gist: We Got Married So We Can Be Gay in Peace =.RlJCPNzdru11Pch_n7DnA390cVV_jC9xjGpKUugOgC8 Heyy Lolade. Please, where did you even find this couple? They filled our subject request form, believe it or not. They actually wrote: “We got married to help each other be gay in peace” under why their love story is compelling. Mad. What’s your favourite thing about their story? I love that they're best friends and so supportive of each other. I also like how they discussed having kids without the sex. Was there any bit that didn't make it to the final story? They spoke briefly about the hell that is adopting in Nigeria, but it was never really a serious option for them. Maybe I watch too much old Nollywood, but I can’t stop imagining someone seeing the man enter a "hotel" with his partner and then calling the wife to say they caught him cheating. LOL. I don't think they do their business in hotels.
