Every day, life quietly presents us with choices. Some are small, what to eat, what to say, how to respond to an annoying text, whether to wake early or sleep a little longer. Others carry more weight, who we trust, what dreams we pursue, and the kind of person we decide to become. Though many choices seem ordinary in the moment, they gradually shape the direction of our lives.
Who is Wole Soyinka? Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian playwright, critic, and Nobel Laureate. While I was an undergraduate in the University as an Art student, we were made to understand that Tragedy has been an important part of Dramatic literature, especially in Western tradition where it is often related with the works of the Greek playwrights such as Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides. We have the classical tragedy where the focus is usually on a great hero who falls due to fate, personal weakness or a tragic flaw.
Even when our wallets are tight and we’ve sworn that we wouldn’t spend unnecessarily, we somehow still end up with items that sit in our closets, gather dust, or maybe disappear into a “maybe i’ll use it later” file. This is not just a lack of will power, it is a mix of psychology, marketing, and societal pressure. Brands and advertisers are good at triggering emotional responses. You see advertisements like “Limited time offers”, “only a few left in stock”; these flashy ads make us feel urgency and give us the fear of missing out. Products we didn’t know we wanted suddenly appear important.
Yesterday, on the 8th of March 2026, we celebrated women across the globe.

The commissioning of the Dangote Refinery in 2023 was seen as a protection against global energy price hike. The logic was simple, if we pump the oil here and refine it here, why should a conflict thousands of miles away in the Middle East dictate the price of a litre of petrol sold in Nigeria?
There are some lessons that cannot truly be learned just by hearing them. Sometimes, we understand them better when we experience them ourselves. Experience is often described as the best teacher because the lessons we learn from our own actions and situations stay with us for a long time.

Dating has now become more flexible but also confusing. One common result of this is the rise of “situationships”. The word situationship has become so common because a lot of people has chosen that path. A situationship is a romantic connection without a clear definition or commitment. We have had people share their experiences about being involved in an undefined relationship, and they tell how draining it can be for a person emotionally and sometimes physically. Some of them even tell how they began to have feelings for the other person in the process, meanwhile the other person does not want to be committed to them.

As a Thespian, I can confidently tell you that this life is a blend of passion, dedication, and resilience. I remember clearly when I was an undergraduate, my life revolved around rigorous trainings in a course popularly known as Theatre Workshop, this course is a 2 unit course but very dangerous if you ever dare have a carry over in it. The workshop involves honing skills in acting, voice projection, movement, and character development. Auditions are constant. Generally, being a thespian , auditions become a constant reality, it comes as a mix of excitement and potential rejection, as actors audition for roles in plays, films and other performances. Being a thespian, you should be able to bring stories to life.
Karma is a simple but deep idea about life. It is the belief that every action we take, whether good or bad, will eventually return to us in one way or another. That simply means, what a person gives to the world often comes back to them. Our actions, words, and even attitudes can shape the kind of life we experience. In everyday life, karma can be seen in the way people treat one another. A person who is always kind, patient, and helpful often builds strong relationships with others. People trust them, respect them, and are willing to support them when they face difficulties. On the other hand, a person who lies, cheats, or hurts others may gain something for a short time, but in the long run they often lose the trust and support of those around them. Life has a funny way of balancing things over time.

Firstly, what does the word “Declutter” mean in Nigerian context? Decluttering can be referred to as the practice of selling, reselling, or connecting buyers and sellers to either second-hand or underutilized household items. It could be anything like furniture, appliances, electronics and decor. Sellers often approach individuals with items they want to get rid of (“declutter”) and offer to help sell them for a fee or buy the items outright. Meanwhile, the buyers benefit from lower-cost goods compared to brand new retail prices.
