Everyone will feel it!💀

Your weekly gossip roundup is here again

What’s up guyyy

How’ve you been?

I’ve missed writing to you so much so that I’ve starved myself of shawarma; as punishment, since the last time we spoke

And you believed me?😂

I’m not one to come bearing bad news, but guy we kinda lost our followers here because Substack decided it was a good idea to “prune our list”😔. So if you’re reading this, kindly click the button below and share What's up by 10.8.8 Africa to your friends, and tell them how much you enjoy reading us. It would mean the world to us❤️

Aaaanyways, I and Gbemi have made a weekly commitment to writing to you, and we are actually serious this time (believe what you just read at owners risk).

That being said…let’s bloody get right into it shall we?

So…What’s up?

We’re so cooked guy

I know I’m not the only one seeing what’s going on…but what an eventful week this has been. Honestly, it should go down in the history books…

So this week started with our Muslim brethren delivering another two work-free days wrapped around a weekend.… and with enough meat to enjoy the break. God bless Eid, God bless Prophet Muhammad, always pulling up for my mental health and work-life balance when I need them the most.

Eid is what Eid is.

It was as if Sallah Monday couldn’t get any better, then God whispered “here’s a little sum’n my children”. Boom. A FULL ELON MUSK vs DONALD TRUMP CRASH OUT ON X.
Definitely not in my holiday plans, but I accepted it with both hands. Egbewa jare.

If you missed the crash out, here’s a small recap, because I’m your guy.

Democracy abi Democrazy?

As if what the Muslims did for us this week wasn’t enough, MKO Abiola himself delivered from 6-feet deep, giving General Abacha a real run for his money as Nigeria’s true “hero from the past”.
That public holiday was very much needed, but it fell on my Work-From-Home day so... not thrilled.
If only he died one day earlier, I would’ve had 3 days off this week.

Uncle please I also didn’t among o

Everyone will feel it ke?
When did that one start?
If you’ve been living under a rock, Iran launched about 100 ballistic missiles into Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv, this weekend — their own way of saying “we outside.”
Sensationalists are calling it World War 3.

How does this concern us?
Look, look look… you don’t understand how much I’ve been wanting to visit these badass Abuja restaurants my Instagram algorithm has been recommending this year, and it’s not this war that’ll alter my plans. I can only imagine President Tinubu’s glum face when he announces…

“All able-bodied men between the ages of 17–60 must report for duty…”

Na the new set of NYSC corpers I actually pity. Not even a week in camp and you’re already boarding a cargo plane in MM2 to Columbia to protect our borders.

What have we been up to?

Nothing much, just defending the rights of every Nigerian student. You should read this:

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING😑

We’ve rebranded Purple Confessions to CONFESSion FM (because... radio vibes 😏)

And not to overpromise (you know I have commitment issues 😩), but...
New 10.8.8 Magazine edition + FUTCH event = coming soooooooon.
IYKYK.
