    (FES x.3)To Shop is to Walmart, Kudos to Iya Eleko

    “Dear Eunice – If you could please return to Moffitt Health Center at your earliest convenience. You will need to ask for … when you go back. Regards,” I stared at the email in befuddlement. One of the things you need to sort out before enrollment is your medical clearance. We had been told to…

    (FES x.2) Don’t Step Out; Ghostly Corridors Await

    During housejob and NYSC days, I lived with an amazing set of neighbors. They were truly divinely-sent. There was IbiBaby whose room became my second room, whose delicacies warmed my belly countless times, whose hard work and diligence made it a honor to be referred to as her twin at work and who would sit…

    (FES x.1) The Land is Green, the Cafeteria is the Green House

    You see in this abroad, we are all being cooked. The concept of Greenhouses is to provide an environment that is constantly heated up to encourage the growth of plants within the houses. Awesome!

  • Multiple Job Rejections? You Need You Some Crazy.

    Multiple Job Rejections? You Need You Some Crazy.

    My brother says not to fall into that trap. “They make you believe that all you are worth is just that.

    Social Aspects of Acculturation in These United States: COVID-19 Episode.

    My routine back in Abeokuta was simple and rarely divergent. During week days, I focused on going to work during my shifts, recovering from the shifts, preparing for the next shifts and ensuring I eat. My active weekday social life was mostly zero. The most of my social life was lived through social media and…

    3 Moons & a Thousand Nostalgias: EuKnighTed.

    Until She suggested that we both write, from our different angles, how we’ve survived these past months of, er, intercontinental dating, I probably hadn’t taken time to view the subject in such a  summary sense. I nodded outside and sighed within. I scanned the varied experiences of the past 12 weeks plus, plus the adjustments…

    Update in Due Time: About that Masters in Public Health.

    Knowing why that guy in the wheelchair in Sex Education needs to be blown up in the first scene of season 3 (whenever it films) is probably not the best preamble to this post. But, it is my blog and SEO stuff can like to hug a Nigerian electric pole while it rains. Yeah, nothing…

    One Confirmed Hit Covid-19 Had on Me.

    Know Your Body. I woke up… or more accurately, it woke me up; The Covid Fever. Six days earlier, it had been giving hints but coinciding with my period, I did not think much of it. In fact, for me, it was not uncommon to have some malaise and discomfort around this time. But, this…
