There was a time when television in Nigeria felt like a shared experience. Evenings had a rhythm. The hum of generators, the flicker of screens, and the familiar voices of presenters filled living rooms across the country. Channels were not just sources of information; they were companions, shaping conversations and culture in subtle ways. But as the years passed, not all of those stations stood the test of time. Some faded quietly, others shut down under pressure, leaving behind memories that still sit gently in the minds of viewers who once tuned in religiously. Here is a look at some…
There is something compelling about a woman who builds her life with clarity and quiet determination. Our Woman Crush Wednesday, Adebanke Thompson’s story, is one of steady progress shaped by hard work, curiosity, and the courage to keep moving forward. She began in 2016 as an event hostess, learning the rhythm of live experiences from the ground up. Those early days were not glamorous, but they gave her a close view of how brands connect with people. Working on activations for names like Johnny Walker and Nigerian Breweries, she developed an instinct for detail and audience engagement that would later…
Across the world, the length of time a president remains in office often reflects far more than personal popularity. It can reveal the strength or weakness of democratic institutions, the role of constitutional limits, and the political culture of a nation. While some leaders secure repeated mandates through elections, others extend their rule through constitutional changes, contested votes, or outright authoritarian control. What defines a “Long-serving” president? In most democratic systems, presidential tenure is limited by the constitution, typically ranging from four to six years per term, often with a cap of two terms. A “long-serving” president, therefore, is one…

Fatty fish and brain balance Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are essential for brain health and help regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood. Regular consumption has been linked to…
Choosing what to wear to an event can feel like a small decision, yet it often carries significant weight. Your outfit communicates before you say a word.

Understand the nature of the event The first step is to clearly understand the type of event you are attending. A corporate dinner, a wedding, a birthday party, and a networking event each call for different styles. Pay attention to any dress code…
Dear Dorothy, I’ve started to notice something about myself that I can’t quite shake. I’m competitive about almost everything — work, friendships, even small, insignificant things. If someone shares good news, a part of me immediately compares it to my own life. If I’m not “winning” or doing better, I feel unsettled, sometimes even irritated. It’s affecting how I respond to people. I don’t always celebrate others properly, and afterwards I feel guilty. I don’t want to be this way, but I also don’t understand where it’s coming from or how to stop. Why am I so competitive in my…
