No I'm not dead. No I didn't forget you. Yes, I will be back with full force next week! Talk to you then xx
Kiddies!! Welcome to 2023. I'm so happy we're here together for real. I didn't like this episode the first time I recorded it, but I said useful stuff in it, so here ya go! Talk to you next week and I owe you an episode, I know xx
Soooo it's not really toxic in the popular sense of the word, but more threatening behaviour from boys that are interested in girls. Enjoy xx
You know how I don't like people painting the image that their lives are all perfect and whatever, but I do agree we should celebrate and hype ourselves up when we grow up and glow up, but don't carry someone's matter on your head and compare your life to theirs. Talk to you next week!
Long story short, Nigerians can't fully feel passionate about racism the way people in diaspora do, and that doesn't mean we don't care (it shouldn't be happening) but still, it's appreciated if black people in other countries don't tell us how we're supposed to feel about racism. Because then it becomes performative and that doesn't help anything
Or something like that sha. I couldn't think of a title that made sense without being too long. But enjoy listening xx
Britain's longest serving monarch died recently, and in this episode, I discuss the various reactions that have come up in the wake of her death. Hope you enjoyed it, and listen and leave a comment on YouTube as well! https://youtube.com/channel/UCOWxEB6iLBKRwJoIl-3xF0A ***EDIT: It wasn't the Queen who threw food at children, and they weren't African. Apparently, it was French women who were throwing things at Vietnamese children during their time as colonisers. Still not great, but it wasn't the Queen
People seem to think being a Nigerian automatically equals suffering. Here's what I think. (By the way, though I kept saying Nigerians generally, I obviously realise not everyone thinks the same way). Thank you for listening!
Self care ≠ material things, at least not in my opinion. In this episode, I talk about the way society has warped the idea of self care and give some suggestions of my own.
Can you even call this an existential crisis? Everyone I know is growing up too fast! Enjoy the episode xx
This is probably why I don't have friends 😂, but here's my take with boys that just can't be your friend. P.S we're going to ignore the fact that I've been gone for so long okay
Why do I insist on recording at night? I guess we'll never know. Hope you enjoy my babbling and I'll talk to you next week xx
Hello! Thank you for stopping by 😁. I was AWOL for a bit, but I'm back, baby! I hope you enjoy this episode and I'll talk to you next time! xoxo Oh and share this episode for the Super Eagles to win!! Here's the link to MQ's vid: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cbcug1nIsZv/?utm_medium=copy_link
The title says it all really. Sorry if my voice sounds weird, I was sort of sick but I had to record you know. I'll make it up to you in the next one, I promise. Thanks for listening and talk to you later! xx
The title says it all doesn't it? A lecturer went off on me because I was apparently rude, so here's my account of what happened since they didn't want to listen to me, I decided to talk to you. So here it isss! Hope you enjoy and talk to you next week xx!
In the spur of the moment, I decided to record while walking around school for some reason :) so enjoy this chit-chatty vlog-like bonus episode! If you're wondering what I'm really like in person, this episode is it. Hope you enjoy the episode and I hope it feels really personal, like I'm just talking with you. P.S I'm out of breath for most of it so enjoy the weird sound of heavy breathing and I'll talk to you next week xx
In this episode, I go on and on about how expectations of us as Nigerians are so high and are just generally toxic, both on a national level and an individual level. Anyway, don't forget to do whatever makes you happy, have an amazing week and I'll talk to you next week! xxx
This is the second part of two story time episodes about my 3-month internship last year (July to September), how I felt about it, and how that experience has affected my current life outlook. If you haven't listened to the first one, you need to so you can understand this one! Thank you for listening and I'll talk to you next week xx

This quickly turned into a rant about how quick Ibadan people put on (and drop) accents, and how we all judge others based on how they speak :). Don't forget to let me know if you liked this episode on the podcast's Instagram page @somewhere.under.a.brown.roof and share the podcast with others so they can enjoy it too! Thank you for listening and talk to you next week xxx
In this episode, I talk about why knowing how to speak our native languages is important, why it's good to speak more than one language, and of course, I sprinkled some rants in between :). Thank you so much for listening and please tell me what you thought about this episode on the podcast's Instagram: @somewhere.under.a.brown.roof
Welcome to my podcast! Thank you so much for being here. This is just a little introduction to me — the real stuff starts next week. (By the way, I'm new to using all the editing and content management software so I apologise if the audio or anything is a little iffy). Talk to you next week xx
