What’s up guy?

I’m so glad you’re finally here o, because there’s wahala😭

This June hasn’t been funny at all bruh.

But first off, how’re you? Kindly text me, and tell me how you’re surviving. Because I’m not.

If you’re getting this email, then you either registered for one of our events, or downloaded a previous edition of our magazine. This means you agreed to our terms and conditions.

So errr…What’s actually up?

See, there’s problem o.

Walai this country too hard dawg. I went to price 200 naira pepper, and the seller counted 3 individual peppers, tied in a nylon and handed it to me. This Tinubulation has reached my neck please.

Jsyk, I’ve started my own pepper farm in our backyard.

Speaking of Tinubulation…

Apparently, not only did our economy fall in June, our president did too. On Democracy day. We should both be worried, shouldn’t we?

A Cholera outbreak? In 2024???

Guy, First thing that came to my mind immediately the news broke was how countries in deep poverty like Congo and Somalia had outbreaks of cholera. God please I can’t live in Congo o.

Or is Nigeria the new Congo?

What have we been up to?

Lmao why have all of you been crying since FUTCH? I get we’ve been a bit on-the-low, but you know what that means…

There’s food in our kitchen.

Hope you’ve been reading Purple Confessions?

Some of the stories in this new season have been absolutely WILD my guy. The last one spilled tea on how something crazy almost happened at a night party with her guys. You can read everything here

*Whispers* And don’t say I spilled tea, but there’s a new magazine edition coming, and it will blow your mindddd.

ASUU, they could never make me love you

So funny story, I haven’t resumed school just yet. But I was banking so hard on these guys standing their ground against FG, especially after the whole meeting at convo square lmaooo (So dramatic), so I get another month of rest before battling these lecturers for my projects…

Then I woke up one morning to news that they folded

Let me pack my school bags before I miss another 2 marks for attendance😒

2 Tips to surviving as a student

Tip #1

You can always make out time for yourself

Look, its super easy to get burnt out on campus. Unnecessary piling up of work, PRACTICALSSS, assignments, struggling to meet up with 8am lectures…or even staying till 6pm for some sadistic lectures.

Reading for tests and exams, poverty, relationship drama, school drama, life drama. There’s enough to go round.

Sometimes, you need that day or two off to unwind and relax. It helps ease your struggles.
