  • African-Caribbeans Arise!: We Complete Home for One Another.

    African-Caribbeans Arise!: We Complete Home for One Another.

    You step into a room and you feel this realization that you are not home, but you’re in the one place that can remind you of it. This was the atmosphere at the University of Southern Mississippi, African-Caribbean Society Night. Diversity in the diaspora. Traditional attires, natural hairstyles, dark and darker skin tones, African flags,…

  • Going Off the Typical Career Paths for Medical Doctors in Nigeria.

    Going Off the Typical Career Paths for Medical Doctors in Nigeria.

    I am a medical doctor. If you are one too or you are close to one or two, you’d be aware of the trajectories that form the usual career paths for doctors, especially in Nigeria. I. Graduate from medical school: This is after 6-10 years (plus 5 more in some cases😨). Years in which scoring…

  • Film House Cinema at Ventura Mall, Ibadan: Reviewed.

    Let’s review cinemas. Venue: Film House Cinema at the Ventura Mall, Ibadan. 1. Aesthetics: 3.5🌟. The natural ‘illumination’ of the viewing room itself makes it difficult to actually assess aesthetics. However, outside that dark place is a well lit waiting area with usually enough comfortable seats. With a good phone, you should be able to…

  • Oliver’s Cafe; A Review for Oliver Twist?

    Oliver’s Cafe was my first outing with the Knight outside of school. And we were not dating yet. But, the setting of the Cafe made it unforgettable.

  • Chicken Republic, Abeokuta: A Customer’s Review.

    Let’s do restaurant reviews. Venue: Chicken republic, Abeokuta. 1. Aesthetics: 3.5🌟. Most of the outlets have the same basic white, red and cream colors. While those may be their official colors, they need to at least be bold. The restaurant is well lit and the setting is spacious enough. It also has some private-ish chairs.…

  • Dee&Tee Delivery Services, Abeokuta: Review.

    Let’s do business-services reviews. Venue: Dee&Tee, Abeokuta. (Food Delivery Services.) 1. Accessibility: 4🌟. Just as soon as you place a call through, your request is received and immediately attended to. Sometimes, you may need to send in a text message to confirm. Whatsapp accessibility isn’t really in form though. 2. Coverage: 4🌟. There’s really been…

  • Alaga/Halaga, Abeokuta; Grab Your Chair for This Review.

    Let’s do restaurant reviews. Venue: Alaga/Halaga, Abeokuta. 1. Aesthetics: 2.5🌟. Not your best jpegs spot, ladies and gentlemen. Cramped, crowded, poorly lit, not well arranged… You’d probably get one good shot outside the restaurant. The upstairs is said to be better but most of the business is transacted downstairs and it is what it is.…

  • Paris Bakery, Ibadan; Customer Review.

    Let’s do reviews. Venue: Paris Bakery, Ibadan. PS: This review is based on their previous location. I’m aware they have a new one now but I haven’t been there yet. 1. Aesthetics: 2.5🌟. It definitely isn’t the ugliest place to be but neither is it the finest. There’s a lot of clashing colors, not to…

  • Business Centre Reviews: MetroEyes, Abeokuta.

    Let’s do business centre reviews. Venue: MetroEyes, Abeokuta. (Optical Centre)   1. Aesthetics: 2.5🌟. It’s not really the best place for pictures. Small space. Lighting not so cool either. But, 🤷‍♀️, their stack of frames can be a great backdrop. 2. Location: 3.5🌟. Locating it can be quite tricky especially if you’re new to the…

  • Restaurant Reviews: Dominos/Cold Stone, Abeokuta.

    Let’s do reviews. Venue: Dominos/Cold Stone, Abeokuta. 1. Aesthetics: 3🌟. Good lighting, yes. Great colors, yes. Space and arrangement though, not good. Probably because two ‘big guns’ are sharing a location. On hot days (Val, weekends, public holidays), it is a mad house. Getting a place to sit is a hustle! 2. Location: 3🌟. Right…
