Marry Without Getting a Divorce in Nigeria?

Family values, love, and mutual benefits are some of the important things we consider when we choose our partners. Even though in the Western world certain dos, don'ts, expectations, and repercussions are set before most marriages move forward in the prenuptial agreement, in Nigeria, the rules aren't the same.

New Year’s Resolutions, and why I don’t Make Them Anymore

When I was younger, making and sharing New Year's resolutions was something of a New Year tradition. The question "What is your New Year's resolution?" was very popular. It was also common to share these resolutions within groups (family or friends) as a deep conversation starter or just for laughs. During family gatherings, a random uncle would ask, "What is your New Year's resolution?" and everyone would take turns answering. A woman sitting by a window and looking out In classrooms at the start of the school year, some teachers would often require each student to share their resolutions. Even while walking down the street, if I wished my neighbors a happy New Year, some would typically respond, "Happy New Year to you too! What is your New Year's resolution?" I might say, "I w...

Why Do Black Women Wear Wigs?

As I'm scrambling to pick out the best wig for the new year, I bumped into the question: why do black women wear wigs? I asked myself the same thing. Then I realized I honestly just looked up one day, and suddenly wigs were in—I mean really in. My mother and aunts had maybe one or two wigs, and even then, the idea of wearing one felt a little off. Personally, I used to look at my roommate with a little side-eye each time she'd return from lectures and throw her wig on the bed. Something about it felt like living a "fake life"—and maybe my reaction was even a sprinkle of jealousy. We had conversations about her wigs, and she would say, "The peace I get when I throw my wigs on the bed and let my scalp breathe is unmatched." Then someone would ask her, "What if someone walks up and pull...
